UNRIVALED IN THE RFID BLOCKING INDUSTRY
CRYPTALLOY is a high-tech special metal alloy.
Advanced technology. Made in Germany.
The grade A material CRYPTALLOY blocks all unwanted communication (radio transmission) between a RFID transponder and every legal or unauthorized RFID reader immediately and highly effectively.
In doing so, the RFID chip is neither deactivated nor destroyed, but is being isolated (hidden). The RFID tag becomes undetectable (invisible). Literally, it doesn't exist anymore for an RFID reader. Of course the data stored on the RFID chip are not changed.
CRYPTALLOY is a broadband shielding attenuation material for smart cards, smart keys and passport with RFID transponder and so blocks all relevant RFID frequencies at a maximum level. It isn't limited to a certain frequency band or frequency range.
It keeps your personal and financial information secure from scanning and skimming.

RFID protection for all RFID frequencies and all cards, smart keys and passport with RFID transponder
CRYPTALLOY IS A MARKET LEADER IN CUTTING EDGE RFID BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY WORLDWIDE:
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN
How does CRYPTALLOY RFID blocking technology works?
CRYPTALLOY has specifically been developed for shielding electromagnetic radio frequency waves (radio transmission) of RFID transponders of passports, smart keys and smart cards equipped with a RFID chip.
An RFID shield is created by instantly blocking and thwarting the electromagnetic energy of RFID scanners necessary to power and communicate with these RFID transponders of passports, smart keys and smart cards.
Attenuation and shielding are achieved on the one hand by a reflection of the electromagnetic fields through a combination of a high permeable metal alloy and aluminium, on the other hand, the resonant circuits of the RFID chips are prevented from oscillating when surface contact or even just an approach takes place.
Different to other materials it not only blocks radio transmission between a RFID reader and a RFID tag by means of reflection (attenuation).
As an essential feature the CRYPTALLOY RFID blocking material interferes additionally with the integrated tank circuit of the RFID chips.
This interference reflects a disturbance of the resonant circuit of the RFID/NFC chip.
CRYPTALLOY safeguards all types of RFID/NFC cards of consumers and passports for the whole frequency range (full spectrum) and for all distances. It also protects the EMV chips of smart cards and mobile phones from electrostatic damage.

TÜV certificate 51211A. Made in Germany
TÜV certificate
Approved shielding attenuation.
The RFID blocking material CRYPTALLOY is certified by TÜV (SGS-TÜV SAARLAND FORSTER GMBH, Germany; EU-standard) for RFID shielding for all common frequencies (LF, HF, UHF) such as 125 kHz / 13.56 MHz / 800-950 MHz according to MILSTD-285 / NSA65-6 / IEEE299/EN50147-1z, i.e. for screen attenuation (TÜV certification 51211A). Certificate with TÜV-test on request.
Test report Prof. Dipl. Ing. P. Pauli (German Armed Forces University)
Measuring the shielding efficiency against electromagnetic waves from 20 kHz to 4 GHz.
Outstanding measures of shielding efficiency in all frequencies.
The screen attenuation of the material, i.e. the shielding efficiency has also been measured by the institute for high frequency, microwave and radar engineering at the Universität der Deutschen Bundeswehr München (German Armed Forces University; Section: RF and Microwaves, Radars; Germany; www.unibw.de/etti). Testing conducted to test shielding efficiency against electromagnetic waves from, i.e. for frequencies 20 kHz, 100 kHz, 125/134 kHz, 13.56 MHz, 433 MHz, 866 MHz, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4 GHz (ASTM D-4935-10; US-standard; frequency range 20 kHz - 4 GHz) of CRYPTALLOY shielding foil.
According to the test report, "the tremendous shielding values are soon limiting the dynamic range of the measurement set-up." This certificate attest scientifically provable the extraordinary shielding attenuation, tremendous shielding values and applies to for all relevant frequencies (LF, HF, UHF) of RFID/NFC chips and so for all smart cards and passports worldwide. Certification proof on request.
Laboratory tests at the manufacturer (Germany): Focus LF
Research, development and tests in the laboratory of the manufacturer KRYPTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES focuses in particular on low frequency band and range (LF) because highest shielding attenuation levels against high power RFID readers in LF means highest attenuation effectiveness for all RFID frequencies (LF, HF, UHF).
Conversely, tests and comparisons in the HF and UHF frequency bands and ranges only don't guarantee highest shielding attenuation levels at all frequency ranges and bands against high power RFID readers. From a research perspective those tests don't really allow conclusions for shielding attenuation against high power RFID readers.
The tests of the manufacturer follow the principles of experimental research, test and measurement setup and meets the standards of scientific research.

ALUMINIUM OR METAL COATED FABRICS INSTEAD?
No alternative
CRYPTALLOY guarantees a maximum degree of attenuation at minimal wall thickness, unlike these materials here:
Aluminium, aluminium composite film, non wovens or paper coated with aluminium or metal coated fabrics coated with cobalt, zinc or copper or zinc/nickel or copper/nickel or a double layer conductive silver/copper/nickel material or metal threads interwoven in fabrics or yarns (fibre spun with a metal thread, woven fabric) or RF EMI/EMF shielding materials often aren't secure; from an engineering perspective and taking professional equipment also used by data thieves and criminals. These materials don't always fulfill its purpose properly. They often combine a restriction to a specific frequency band and frequency range with low level shielding attenuation.
By comparison, CRYPTALLOY is a broadband RFID blocking material with no restrictions covering all frequency bands and ranges (LF, HF, UHF) with high level screen attenuation.

No labeling tricks
Nevertheless there are still manufacturers using low tech RFID blocking material instead of CRYPTALLOY.
Why?
NO QUESTIONS, NO SMALL PRINTS, NO NO NAME MATERIAL
No questions:
Does the material cover all frequencies or only most of them? And which one?
At what frequency operate cards and passports?
Does the RFID shielding material fully blocks unwanted data transmission?
What kind of RFID blocking material is inside / incorporated in the products of the manufacturers?
As a buyer and consumer you shouldn't have to deal with these kind of questions.
No small prints:
Metal coated fabrics and fabrics with metal threads spun into yarn block often only most of the frequencies used for scanning data and informations. But to make matters worse they often block only at low or lower shielding attenuation levels.
Unlike these other B-grade materials on the market, the A-grade RFID blocking material of the brand CRYPTALLOY covers all relevant frequencies (full spectrum, for example 125 KHz, 13.56 MHz, 800-950 MHz), so all types of RFID/NFC enabled cards and passports at the highest shielding attenuation level. It instantly blocks all relevant RFID/NFC signal strengths.
CRYPTALLOY guarantees highest damping levels (for background informations and technical specification: www.cryptalloy.net). The RFID shielding material deflects any unwanted attempts at reading RFID enabled smart cards and passports and so acts as a barrier against RFID signals.
No no name material:
A CRYPTALLOY label/tab or logo informs you as a consumer about the material incorporated in the product.
Some manufacturers are using CRYPTALLOY material without labeling it (white label).
If you are not sure about the material used or whether the manufacturer really incorporates CRYPTALLOY RFID blocking material in its products, just send an email to: contact@rfid-off.com.
But why some manufacturers are still using low tech, inferior RFID blocking material?

PROVEN SHIELDING EFFECTIVENESS (EFFICIENCY)

The CRYPTALLOY RFID blocking material is laboratory tested by the manufacturer with professional equipment with much more power than low-tech RFID readers or smartphones (apps).
Measurement equipment of the lab of the manufacturer KRYPTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES (www.cryptalloy.com)
As an RFID blocking material expert with its own laboratory the manufacturer supports independent tests in order to compare CRYPTALLOY with other so called RFID blocking materials on the market. The outstanding shielding attenuation performance has als been confirmed by Swiss Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM, Switzerland) in his measurement report for Swiss Federal Office of Police (FEDPOL, Switzerland).
Often products with low-tech, purported RFID blocking material are labeled with seals, even the material doesn't meet (completely) the standards for RFID shielding attenuation. These B-grade materials don't cover all relevant RFID frequencies and provide only insufficient RFID protection against RFID attacks. Unlike the products with CRYPTALLOY, these products usually hadn't ever passed a certification program.
Often shielding attenuation tests are demonstrated with low tech readers with low power.
So don't let yourself be fooled by RFID blocking seals, logos and certificates. They usually only confirm, that the low tech material attenuates to a certain degree, but certainly not completely.
Keep in mind:
With respect to RFID shielding effectiveness against electromagnetic waves from 20 kHz to 4 GHz (ASTM D-4935-10), a RFID blocking foil does ultimately provide protection at a maximum level (1) or no protection (0). Low level protection (low level shielding attenuation) has to be equated with no protection.
But why manufacturers are still using inferior, outnumbered RFID blocking material rather than CRYPTALLOY?
They are using inferior material because those manufacturers think they are not only experts in their field but also experts in RFID shielding attenuation. Or they are using it because they often rely on their own test with low performing RFID readers and because they are apparently not aware that they risk a damage of their image as a brand.
