[EAS] Next Generation

[Adrienne Abbott]

Would this still work if the Internet was unavailable? If only the Legacy
version of EAS was working, how would stations double-check the random code?

        Ed, can you tell us how simple/difficult it would be
        to add a place for downloading the "random" code
        for the day and be available for cross-checking?
        Something the coders could do in a short time?

        Perhaps changing the "EAN" to the random code, which
        in turn         could be "decoded" to "EAN" at the machine would
        be a combination of both approaches??

        Those alone would solve 99% of all potential "hacks"
        into the system. Short of putting a lock box around
        all machines, someone who will do anything to get
        control could still get in somewhere.
