  1. Comment - Study: RFID Tags Carry Potential Virus Threat

    (Mar 16, 2006 - 2:45 PM)

    A logical defence would seem to be to encapsulate RFID tag data and buffer/screen it before sending it for downstream processing.

    Other potential threat scenarios involving RFIDS: a competitor can walk around rival's store gathering data on available merchandise. Even without a complete and accurate inventory, trends over time could be of critiacal marketing value.

    As RFID tags drop in price, simply distributing them around a competitor's store could skew the inventory processing.

    I'm not an expert on RFID technology and I don't know if the protocols already protect against such attacks. I would hope so.
