"New Controversy over Black Hat Presentation" (from slashdot)

[Paul Vixie <paul () vix com>]

"InfoWorld is reporting about a new controversy swirling around a planned
presentation at Black Hat Federal in Washington D.C. this week. Security
researcher Chris Paget of IOActive will demo an RFID hacking tool that can
crack HID brand door access cards. HID Corp., which makes the cards, is miffed
and is accusing IOActive of patent infringement over the presentation,
recalling the legal wrangling over Michael Lynn's presentation of a Cisco IOS
hole at Black Hat in 2005. Black Hat's Jeff Moss says they're standing by
their speaker. A news conference is scheduled for tomorrow AM."
