Safety in a can
» SECURED BY DESIGN (SBD)
member company JNE Security Ltd
have introduced the world’s first SBD
accredited Decoy Safe Can which blocks
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
and wireless signals, making it the perfect
way to protect car keys from Relay Attacks,
where a handheld signal blocking device
is used to gain access to vehicles.
Food Safe Cans have been around
for a number of decades and following
consultation with the police, JNE have
created a less obvious, lower cost
alternative in the RFID Signal Blocking
Drink Safe Can.
Traditional Safe Cans are made using
a false plastic bottom to the can and
although they are perfect for hiding
54
valuables, they will not block wireless
signals. JNE’s new RFID Signal Blocking
Drink Safe Cans provide a fantastic decoy
safe which, as well as car keys, can also
be used to hide credit cards and any item
with a wireless RFID chip.
The RFID Signal Blocking Drink Safe
Can is also useful for going to the beach
and playing sports as a potential decoy
against opportunist thieves.
The RFID Signal Blocking Drink Safe
Cans look like supermarket own branded
versions of Diet Cola, Fizzy Orange and
Lemonade.
Nick Hughes, General Manager for
JNE Security comments “In 2019 I was
approached by a Designing Out Crime
Officer who came up with the idea of
designing a traditional Decoy Safe Can
with Signal Blocking capabilities. Having
developed our RFID Signal Blocking Safe
Can, we submitted it to SBD and were
delighted that it achieved Police Preferred
Specification.”
SBD Development Officer Hazel Goss
said: “This is a great product that JNE
have designed and had tested. It will be a
product that will reduce vehicle and credit
card crime as the Decoy Safe Can will stop
RFID signals being read so will protect both
keys to vehicles and credit cards. I cannot
wait to see the product and give it a try.”
