A contactless PIV Card reader with a sensitive antenna can be concealed in a briefcase, and is capable of reading ISO/IEC 14443 contactless smart cards like the PIV Card at a distance of at least 25 cm, as demonstrated in [SKIMMER]. The range of a skimmer is limited primarily by the requirement for the skimmer to supply power to the PIV Card by inductive coupling. A concealed skimmer could immediately obtain the free-read data from the PIV Card, which includes the CHUID 4 and the certificates. The PIV Card mitigates the risk of skimming by access rules that prevent the release of biometric and other data over the contactless interface, and by minimizing content in the free-read data objects. Additional protection can be achieved by shielding techniques that positively deactivate a PIV Card when not in use. The electromagnetically opaque sleeve mentioned in FIPS 201 Section 2.4 is one such technique.
