Analysis Of Microchip Implant And Its Impact On Securing Information

In its basic form, a typical RFID system has two major components, a reader and tags, as shown in Figure 3.1. These tags are made from a tiny chip, also called an integrated circuit (IC), that is connected to an antenna that can be built into many different kinds of tags including apparel hang tags, labels, and security tags, as well as a wide variety of industrial asset tags. The tag chip contains the product's electronic product code (EPC) and other variable information so that it can be read and tracked by RFID readers anywhere(Impinj 2015).

Microchipping people isrecognized as one of the most popular evolutional technologies that could change people 's life style and standard. Human implanting has the potential ability of saving life when emergency; it is capable of improving efficiency at work and life quality of life. Also it can bring evolutional change to the security system forever. With that mass of expectation, microchipping people also brings people equivalent large amount of concerning, people are worried about the consequence of implanting things that are unnatural, radioactive or privacy-threaten into their bodies and unlikely to be taken out undamaging to body. In this report, advantages and disadvantages of the technology will be shown with discussion of engineers responsibility regards on real life cases.

As we can see now RFID technology is becoming very popular around the world. However, in my opinion, I would like to say that RFID tags pose a risk to personal privacy. RFID tags easily to be stolen by hackers. They could steal your personal information such as your credit card or your passports. For example, now in some states of the U.S, the government allows the citizen to use RFID passports. However, many citizen still disagree to apply RFID passports because they think it contains many issued such as it is vulnerable to wireless attack by hackers (it can be read up to 30 feet away and copying without permission from the RFID owner). In addition, it is even more dangerous when the RFID passports can contain information that is corresponding to the photo of the RFID tags owner. So just think what will happen if someone hack your passports and what they can do with its information from that RFID passport? Therefore, even RFID tags is becoming popular and can be the next generation technology in the real world, but now, in my opinion, I would like to say that RFID still contains many problem that can harm to personal privacy.

In the case of the missing microchip, the guiding question was, who stole the microchip? Orin, Anna, and I’s claim was that Doug the coffee man stole the missing microchip. Doug was our man because of a couple reasons. First, near the crime scene, investigators found sugar from the coffee shop that Doug worked at on the floor. Not only that, but Doug had the easiest access to the chip out of all the suspects. Doug’s car was parked right next to the window of the office that held the chip. Lastly, Doug lied about the arrival times of everyone. To justify our evidence, Doug was the only person that could have had the sugar. Also, no one else had access into the building like Doug did. Finally, Doug lied about arrival times stating that no one

RFID is Radio Frequency Identification Technology and it is a wireless connection that is used for tracking. When RFID was first introduced it was used to keep track of pets and livestock, but now the microchips are getting smaller and smaller and being used in humans. The author discloses how she had two microchips implanted, one in the back of each hand. According to Nisbet, she asked four surgeons and a veterinarian if they would agree to perform the implantation of the microchip, and they all had different answers. The vet said she would supply the microchip but not implant it, one surgeon did not reply, one agreed, one agreed on special medical terms, and one declined (Nisbit

The RFID chip is rice grain sized electronic chip that gets implanted above your thumb in your hand. It can be used to make your daily life easier by storing your personal credit card information or medical information, open doors for you, unlock computers, and even can protect children from being abducted by tracking them with the chip. The chip has its Pros and Cons but, because of the harm and danger that the cons bring, the cons outweigh any benefits that may be gained. According to Andrew Brown in “Human Microchipping: An Unbiased Look at the Pros and Cons,” it mentions that the chip is already be used for tracking children in other countries, such as Brazil, to prevent or help save the children from child abduction. Now however, that benefit is really important because of how now in our generation kidnapping and sex trafficking has been rising, so this chip can save lives in that situation, however not everyone

Another side of this issue deals with the cons of getting an RFID implant. With any new technology, it takes a while to work out all the bugs and kinks. When putting so much information and dependence on a single chip it makes it a perfect target for hackers. In addition, if the information is writable or readable, there is also the likelihood of impersonation or data corruption(6). It is easy to hijack data off of an RFID chip. Anyone with an RFID scanner can connect to the implant and access the signal information and intercept the code that is being broadcast. This means anyone with a scanner can easily access and scan implants without anyone realizing it and steal their banking information and other identification information in a split second. Digital mimicry is a real-world likelihood, meaning

In the last decade there was an overproduction of coffee. Prices of coffee beans plummeted when the quantity supply of beans exceeded the quantity demanded, causing the surplus. Before the 2008 Recession, the economy was growing and people wanted to get the best coffee for their buck. Since the U.S economy was expanding, gourmet coffee suppliers wanted a cut of the money, so gourmet retailer shops started popping up. Coffee retailers were fairing pretty well in the market, and remained strong during and after the 2008 Recession.

The government is considering implacing microchip implants into people around the world. People have argued the fact that these microchips are good and will help us with our everyday lives . That one would be able to walk into a restaurant and be able to have their microchip scanned and the restaurant would be able to know what food or drink you prefered . Another good example of why the microchip implant is good would be that is you were to get into a car accident , the EMS could scan your microchip and see who you are and what allergies you have . However , with all of these good traits there are bad ones .

new advancements such as microchip implant for humans and animals can be very controversial. At first, the implants may seem to have benefits but in the long run they will actually cause more trouble than they are worth. These potential "troublemakers" are about the size of an elongated grain of rice and are injected in the skin under the arm or hand (Feder, Zeller 15). The chip is not powered by battery and there is nothing that can possibly leak out into the body (Posada-Swafford 8). An early form of this technology was used to monitor salmon and has been used for other wildlife research (Verhovek 5). The idea of the chips was started from the September 11 tragedy

When you think of a chip being implanted in your skin, there is a lot of thoughts that comes cross your mind. The idea of that seems very scary an unreal. Who would have ever thought that a device can be implanted in your skin and would be able to give all your health history and other personal information about yourself. This device is called the RFID and its seems to be becoming something that the government is wanting to start implanting the RFID into human. Whether it’s a good idea or not, I don’t know, but today I’m going to go into detail to explain the pros and cons of the, as well as the ethics and legalities of the RFID.

Over the years, there has been a high focus on the biometric technology for identifying people. According to Covacio (2003:843), this technology was focused on the use of fingerprint scans, voice prints as well as recognition by the retina as a way of identifying people. A new technology however has been identified that may be used for the same reasons and others such as medical, security or just for identification. This technology is the human identification chip. These chips have been used over the years for identification of animals especially tracking them in case they are lost.

This new RFID chip has been causing a lot of conversation how but the benefits but know one wants to talk about the dangers of the chip. A RFID chip is basically your whole life story in your embedded in your hand. With your personal information from credit card accounts to medical records. According to the computer world web page “ The rapid spread of RFID technology is making it very attractive to hackers, who can clone chips and steal authentication information to gain access to a user personal information.” Not to mention the biblical conncetion behind it. In relvation 13:17 “so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.” I interviewed a guy

RFID, or radio frequency identification, is the new system that is replacing the use of barcodes. RFID tags allow users to more quickly obtain information from the object that the RFID tag

ments tracked so closely. Location information might help direct a tow truck to a broken-down car, but it could also be used to find out where the driver went during the lunch hour. For similar reasons, privacy advocacy groups have opposed the use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in consumer items. RFID tags are small silicon chips equipped with tiny antennas that enable them to communicate with RFID readers and track the location of items as they move. When placed on individual products, they allow companies to tell exactly when a product leaves a store or learn more about the actions of consumers buying the products. Designer Lauren Scott had planned to add radio frequency tags to the childrens’ clothing she designed to help parents keep track of their children. An RFID tag sewn into a child’s clothing could store vital medical information or track the wearer’s location to prevent children from being
