Hi everyone, We are in the initial process of considering various student card services at our institution. These include meal plans, payment with local vendors, building access, etc. One area of concern is the use of magnetic stripe information to provide these services, since it is very easy to write information to a mag stripe card. I would be interested in hearing how other institutions deal with this issue. Have you discussed with your card vendor how they secure the card, and do you use mag stripe or contactless cards? Please feel free to respond off the list. Thanks, Boaz. Boaz Gelbord Manager of Information Security The New School 55 West 13th Street NYC 10011 www.newschool.edu
