Introduction:
RFID is one of the most important technology in the world, where in our daily life we use it frequently and also it reduces our effort and work very much. This is very easy to establish and use as it contains only a small tag which has small space to store data with a small antenna which transmits the signals from the tag to the reader. There is a reader where it scans the tags and find out the information present in the tag find outs the pulls the relevant information from the back end that is the data bases where the whole lot of information is stored. RFID is used in different places to track, identify and update the information. This technology also provides safety and privacy from the thief’s and forgery problems there are many kinds of security attacks which are handled with this technology.
RFID Devices:
There are three main components which are present in RFID technology which are as follows
1. Tags.
2. Reader.
3. Antenna.
4. Transponder.
5. Database (back-end).
Let’s have a brief explanation on each of the component
1. Tags:
RFID tags are attached to different items to whom it is designated to as the data present in is given at the time of manufacturing. It has as space 96 bits where data can be stored and that information is just a small bit of code which can only understood by the reader. As the distance between the tag and reader increasers as the size of the tag and antenna in it also keeps on increasing. There are two types of RFID tags which are
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).
The RFID system mainly includes three parts: reader, antenna, and RFID tag, as shown. Because of the uniqueness of the RFID tag, the reader can locate and
As RFID technology evolves and becomes less expensive, there will be an increase in the number of companies and vendors using the technology. Eventually, new applications will be developed and these systems may even be able to solve common or unique problems associated with business in today’s market.
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
The RFID technology consists of three kinds of tags i.e. active RFID tags, passive RFID tags, and battery
First of all, what are RFID chips, and what are they capable of? In more detail RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification, a technology that uses tiny computer chips smaller than a grain of sand to track items at
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.
RFID tags can be read-only; some even have a factory-assigned serial number that it can be used as a key into a database, or read/write, object-specific data can be written on the tag by a system user. Programmable field tags may be written with an electronic product code by the user.
Radio Frequency Identification Detection (RFID) is a technology that involves a silicon chip and an antenna, which together is called a TAG. The tags emit radio signal to devices that are called readers. One of the things that is important to know about the Electronic Product Code (EPC) is that some people use RFID and EPC interchangeably, but they are different.
As technology advances so does the threat to our privacy as citizens, we enter into this technological world worried only with what’s new and hot and not diving deeper into how these devices are collecting data on us. One of these new devices is called a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) it’s a wireless system of both what is called tags and readers that pick up radio waves and hold information. The many uses include Inventory control, Equipment tracking, Out-of-bed detection and fall detection (FDA).
Radio Frequency Identification RFID is an established data-carrying technology used throughout industry. Data relating to an item is stored on a tag, which is attached to the item. The tag is activated by radio waves emitted from a reader. Once activated, the tag sends data stored in its memory relating to the item back to the reader. This data can then be shared between organizations and trading partners via the EPCglobal Network in a secure manner.
Since RFID technology use radio waves to transmit data, they are subject to medium as well as other interfering radio waves. One of the core issues RFID
“RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) can be defined as an automatic identification technology which uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to identify objects carrying tags when they come close to a reader.” [2]
The basic idea of the NFC is designed and was built upon the radio frequency identification technology (RFID). An RFID system has two components, a reader and a target. The reader is an electronic device which is active and generates the radio frequency field while the target devices uses that specific field for the
