NIST Highlights RFID Security Risks
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) recently released a 150+ page PDF report that details some of the security risks of using RFID in a supply chain. Said Robert C. Cresanti, Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology:
RFID tags, commonly referred to as smart tags, have the ability to improve logistics, profoundly change cost structures for business, and improve the current levels of safety and authenticity of the international pharmaceutical supply chain and many other industries. This important report lays the foundation for addressing potential RFID security risks so that a thoughtful enterprise can launch a smart tag program with confidence.
The report also suggests ways to get around the security risks. Download from NIST issues guidelines for ensuring RFID security. [via Extreme RFID]
