Apple Widens Anti-Hack Campaign

Apple is recently working on a patent that uses the authorized garment system to prevent potential breach on its NIke iPod Sport Kit. The company will most probably use the RFID chip which is embedded in the garment to ensure it is an actual authorized Garment.


The Nike+iPod Sports Kit is a device which measures and records the distance and pace of a walk or run. The Nike+iPod consists of a small accelerometer[1] attached to or entrenched in a shoe, which communicates with either the Nike+ Sportband or a receiver plugged into an iPod nano. If using the iPod, iTunes software can be used to view the walk or run history.
