Bp Case Study

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.

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

Radio-Frequency Identification chip implant “is an object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radio waves” (Smith 123). The implant is a “typical diameter of an injectable micromodule is 2–3 mm, and its length is 1–1.5 cm. The shape is usually cylindrical to facilitate passage through a hypodermic needle” (Troyk 179). This is not the first time the world has heard of the RFID. The device has been around for quite for some

As for who it is being marketed to, let’s say it looks as though they have focused their attention on the healthcare industry but eventually it will move into whoever can pay the cost. The end game is to get it into the hands of the public because the cost is not high in term of price. “Applied Digital plans to sell the chips to people or companies for about $200 each. Individuals will be able to encode it with the desired information before having a physician implant it into their bodies. Applied Digital will give away chip readers to hospital and ambulance companies, in hopes they will become standard equipment” (Ramstack and Sorokin). Here in America the RFID chip is being

Nowadays, RFID has been used widely in many industrial services, distribution, manufacturing and security. It can help to identify and monitor items (products, people, animals, etc...) wirelessly within a specified range. Although RFID technology dates back to WWII, it has not been used commercially until fairly recently, when Wal-Mart began using it for inventory management. In an attempt to fully integrate the RFID system, thereby substantially saving on logistics and manpower costs, streamlining in-store automatic product management procedure, and raising the company overall operating efficiency Wal-Mart demanded that its top 100 suppliers to affix a RFID tag onto the packaging of the goods they supplied. In an effort to improve business and service quality, save time and effort.

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

RFID has been employed in various industries to keep tracking of their products. For example they can be installed in an automobile industry to keep track on the production throughout assembly. Similarly, RFID tags are now being used in the pharmaceuticals industry to keep track of medicinal items in warehouses and throughout the supply chain. The supply chain can often be complex in nature, with several data points as it relates to item movement from the original manufacturer to its final destination, the customer.

RFID systems contribute largely to the wireless revolution that is taking place. RFID or radio frequency identification systems administer powerful technology to transmit data in order to aid in tracking the movement of goods and inventory through a company’s supply chain. RFID systems consist of three main parts which include tags, readers, and a computer system. Ultimately, the tags transmit data to a reader in which captures this data and sends it to a host computer for further processing by an employee of a company, however RFID systems have much more depth to them than just this.

The RFID technology consists of three key elements: RFID tags, RFID readers, and a back-end database server to identify information. The RFID tag stores its particular ID and some application data for RFID readers thus the tag contains electronically stored information which is used for access control system. The major advantage of using the RFID tag is that it allows convenience contactless access. However, the traditional RFID-based access control system identifies an individual only by means of his or her RFID card that is anyone who presents a registered RFID card will pass the authentication even he/she is not the genuine card holder or owner. Moreover, there are many RFID attacks which are:

The Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) is a powerful technology for companies in the logistics and supply chain management industry. According to Jakobs (2000), he states that the RFID system use tiny tags with embedded microchips that contains data. This data contains the location and information about the product/item and transfers the data to RFID readers through radio signals.

The components of an RFID system are the tag, the reader and the host computer system, which has the software that works as an interface between the data collected and storage device by converting the same into useful information. RFID has immense potential for all parties in the supply chain, to mention few:

It’s more reliable, efficient, secured, inexpensive and accurate than other similar automatic identifiers such as sensor networks, imagery systems and so on. These reasons are why the RFID technology is more popular, recently [where from?].

Radio Frequency Identification, or as it is more commonly known, RFID, is an automated identification and data collection (AIDC) technology. From access cards to passports to toll tags RFID has now become ubiquitous as an integral part of our daily lives.

RFID refers to any system that can transmit identification numbers over radio. RFID system is made up of a unique identification number, which is allocated to a specific item, an identity tag which is attached to the item with a chip capable of storing a unique identification number, networked RFID readers and data processing systems that are capable of collecting signals from multiple tags at high speeds and of pre-processing this data, and one or more networked databases that store the product information RFID is a wireless technology, which allows transmission of information without the physical connection. In its most basic form, an RFID system has two components: tags and readers. A tag (transponder) consists of a microchip that stores identification data of the item to which it is attached and an antenna to transmit this data via radio waves. A reader (interrogator) sends out a radio signal and prompts the tag to broadcast the data contained on its chip. The reader then converts the radio waves returned from the tag into digital data and forwards them to a computer system. A reader can scan an area for any tags that are tuned to the same frequency as the reader. The frequency on which the RFID system operates designates the intensity of the radio waves used to transmit information and is a key factor in determining performance levels and applications for the system. Nearly all RFID systems operate

Radio Frequency Identification chips are becoming more common as well. They are small and inexpensive, making them increasingly useful in numerous applications. Certain companies have begun using employee ID badges embedded with RFID chips in order to ascertain the whereabouts of its employee’s. This same technology can be found in several other devices, such as tags for tracking livestock, and in certain retail items in order to prevent theft. The wireless signals and location tracking abilities enabled by RFID chips have made privacy conscious individuals more concerned about the general usage of these chips in everyday products. Some worry that such technology will bring our society closer to a surveillance state, while others
