Researchers Karsten Nohl and Henryk Plötz have cloned the RFIDs from Legic's Prime smartcards.

"Nohl... recommended that key customers of Legic, which issues RFID cards on the basis of the Prime category launched in 1992, at least migrate to the more recent 'Legic Advant' product line as quickly as possible," according to The H Security.

"Nohl says that Prime cards are much less common than their successors and are mainly popular in Europe," the article states. "Despite their age, they are nonetheless marketed as high-security technology and used particularly for access control and staff IDs in nuclear power plants and airports in addition to being used as payment and multifunction cards."
