Class II Devices ( Rfid Chips )

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).

RFID chipped licenses is the simplest ways to use biometric technology for increased security. Information that is contained on the chip can be as simple as a set of numbers or complex and contain the person’s name, address, photograph, fingerprints, and iris scan. RFID chips are passive, meaning they do not have a power source within them, they must be scanned in order to read them. In an article written for an online technology magazine, Kim Zetter explains that in most cases, the chips must be within one foot of the scanner to work, but some can be scanned from further than 10 feet away (Zetter). Additionally, the cards are issued with a protective sleeve that keeps the chip protected while it sits in your wallet or purse. Also, a RFID scanner cannot read the chip while it is in the protective case, which helps keep the personal information safe. The chips that would be used in for this program would ones that must be placed in the scanner to work, this adds a piece of security. When the cards are issued out, DMV employees would have out informational handouts regarding the capabilities, use, storing, and contact numbers for troubleshooting problems that may arise with the chip.

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.

To justify the objective I have begun the research with literature revi9ew and by collecting the secondary data from the articles, peer reviewed journals, related research papers and books. Journals and articles were important to understand the challenges and risk RFID technology is facing .I Addition to data collected from another sources are discussing with industries who implemented and using RFID technology to track their products, Reviews and people who are technically involved with RFID technology helped me to collect the data required for my

As part of its effort to promote the quality of health care delivery, the government has established a committee to analyze the possibility of implanting electronic health record into every American citizen. The process basically involves the insertion of Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) containing the individual's medical information. RFID would provide access to complete and accurate medical information that helps in lessening patient safety and identification issues. The medical information in the chip will be accessed through scanning at the point of care and the patient's health information will be uploaded into the health information system of the health provider. The patient's new health information is uploaded into the health information system and onto the implanted chip in the individual.

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

This is dangerous because your information could potentially be getting into the wrong hands. RFID chips are

If proper care isn't taken of the implant, there is a real possibility of it migrating within the body. This wouldn't be such a problem if the implant were universal and everyone had one. Until then it's completely plausible they could be totally overlooked (for example, medical emergency) if not found in the usual location. The FDA has warned that several risks for human RFID implanting includes "adverse tissue reactions, electrical hazards, and- potentially most importantly- 'incompatibility' with strong-magnet medical equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs). You can't take anything metal into an MRI; that includes pacemakers, aneurysm clips, dental implants, hip/knee replacements(unless they're nonmagnetic titanium), and embedded microchips"(5). Next, putting so much value on a device only available to the people who seek it out requires keeping a close eye on its availability and cost effectiveness. If the advantages then disadvantage those individuals who choose not to participate, the gap may widen between

First and foremost the RFID IC or (Radio Frequency Identification Chip) is a tag, label, or card that can exchange data with the reader using its built in antenna and its IC (Integrated circuit ). There are a numerous amount of different things that helps tie this chip tie together, such as your personal ID, Medical history , bank information, and all of the other information government wants to know about you. The chip is inserted by doctors in one of your hands right between your index finger and you thumb they say it take no longer than thirty seconds to a minute.

Today, RFID is used in retail, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, travel, entertainment, etc. RFID increases efficiency of operations, decreases reliance on manual process, improves asset visibility and traceability, reduces operation costs, and provides useful data for business analytics. There are many different reasons why companies and firms are beginning to make the switch to RFID, some examples are: automating inventory and asset-tracking in healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and business sectors; identifying the source of products, enabling intelligent recall of defective or dangerous items; prevent use of counterfeit products in the supply chain; improve shopping experience for consumers; provide visibility into the supply chain

RFID chips are found in lots of things we use every day, credit cards, pet trackers, to everyday phones, also connecting with phone apps. Even creepier, the microchip is also found in the technology that is currently at Disney World's MagicBand, which tracks a wearer's location within the park and connects to that person's accounts for the parks amusement rides. One fact about the RFID microchip is that it was not the first microchip to be approved. A company called VeriChip actually got approved by the FDA to market an implant back in 2004. The implant was designed to carry a unique ID number that hospitals could use to pull up a patient's medical records if he or she were unconscious; however, the chip was discontinued in 2010 over privacy concerns with HIPPA. Even if the microchip is roughly the shape and size of a grain of rice and works like a tiny computer, even the tiny computer can catch a virus just as a regular computer today can. The chances of identity theft becoming more and more common will increase dramatically. Also with a microchip being so small and fragile it would make it easier for damaged, even more so for those who have jobs that require hands on. Our number rule in the medical field is the patient’s privacy; with the microchip approved it will only make it our number

For this policy paper I have chosen Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. RFID is able to provide a lot of advantages in the supply chain management, health care system, government operations. RIFD uses electronic magnetic fields for automatically identifying and tracking the tags attached with the objects. The tags contain electronic information. The RFID devices consist of an antenna which emits a radio signals for activating a tag and read and write the electronic data to those. The technology is able to provide a lot of advantages to the users but there are several ethical considerations associated with the use of this technology. Mostly the ethical issues are associated

Radio frequency identification (RFID) can be loosely linked all the way back to WW2 as a method of tracking allied planes versus enemy fighters during aerial combat (Roberti, 2005). In the PBSC class MAN4504, this technology was worshiped as a way to ring up an entire cart of groceries with one simple hovering swipe over top of all the merchandise contained within the cart. However, control freak school officials have recently gotten the idea that the RFID system might be amply used as a way to keep track of students. But, the problem with this somewhat big-brotherish type of philosophy is that it can, indeed, be construed as an invasion of privacy. If one is at all familiar with the Constitution that our

Just as all other technologies have such difficulties, RFID technology has obstacles to overcome. Two main concerns are discussed in this paper: radio wave technology hindrances such as collisions, and the ethical concerns that entangle this controversial yet extremely helpful technology.

The advantages associated with using RFID technology for supply management are clearly the reason why Harley Davidson would even consider implementing its use. According to the text, RFIDs can be read much more quickly and with a higher degree of accuracy than bar codes. Bar codes must be
