Wi-Fi blocking wallpaper

Papier02

A wallpaper to protect its Wi-Fi.

Researchers in Grenoble have had an original idea: to prevent a Wi-Fi network from being hacked, with a wallpaper insulation, which no longer allows waves to leave the apartment. Other utilities may be found in such technology, such as protection of sensitive individuals to electromagnetism.

The article (translated) says the wallpaper is designed to allow phone frequencies in and out.

  4. Will it block RFID? It might make an easy wallet/passport liner to prevent “data theft.”
