Intel is working a project called Wireless Credential Exchange that makes it possible for laptops and tablets, or other devices with an Intel soc, will automatically become unusable if they are outside of a certain area. The technique works with rfid chips.

Wireless Credential Exchange brings many tracking applications for devices with an Intel soc, writes Burnside Digital, that the software is wrote and this works with Intel. In addition to opportunities for the non-activation of laptops and tablets in a certain environment, those devices become unusable leaving the factory, and only be activated when they reach their destination, eliminating theft while the uk is pointless.

Also, the combination with the rfid chips is the ability of systems to scan, error logs read, and configuratiedata to obtain, without the box is opened, need to be without the machine to do.

Wireless Credential Exchange works through the combination of an Intel soc with a Monza rfid chip from Impinj, an rfid reader from Technology Solutions UK Ltd. and the software of Burnside Digital. Both the soc as the rfid reader data to the rfid chip of writing, next to reading.

Furthermore, there are apps for iOS, Windows and Android via bluetooth with the rfid reader can communicate and work with the apps in combination with Amazons AWS databases. Not known is the extent to which Intel the system from sliding forward in laptopfabrikanten and whether there is further third-party components or services for the Wireless Credential Exchange platform can produce develop.

Laptops will not be equipped with this technology, manufacturers can build-in in laptops, but it doesn’t. It is unknown whether manufacturers have plans to do this.
