Abstract

A pocket or pouch that can be securely attached to the inside of an outer garment that will provide physical and RFID security for documents such as passports and credit cards that are increasingly using active RFID, that also will be user friendly and comfortable for the person using the pouch and will allow quick and easy access to the items when needed. A subset of this pouch or pocket will provide RFID security for the increasingly use of active RFID badges for identification and access to secure areas and facilities. This subset will allow for quick and easy movement of the badge out of the pouch for scanning and quick and easy return to the secure position.

Claims

1. For embodiments 1 and 2, a pocket, or pouch that can be securely attached to the inside of a garment either by means of a hook and eye fastener system such as Velcro or a belt loop which will go over the top of the garment and will allow attachment to the belt. Either way embodiments 1 and 2 will allow the pouch to be securely out of sight, with a minimum physical signature but allows quick and easy access and removal when needed. In addition to the physical security, the pouch in embodiments 1 and 2 will provide RFID security that will prevent the compromise of the active RFID signature of these items.

2. For embodiment 3, a pocket or pouch that will provide RFID security and prevent the compromise of the active signature of active RFID security badges which are increasingly being used but allows the badge to be quickly and easily moved out of the pouch for scanning.
