This is interesting. Here is another one from NIST. NIST has finally released security guidelines for RFID security. This should make for an interesting read.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), released this week its guidelines describing the various risks to data security and personal privacy that RFID deployments may pose, while also providing best practices and procedures, based on existing technology and regulations, to mitigate those risks. The 154-page report, Guidelines for Securing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems, is meant to assist retailers, manufacturers, hospitals, federal agencies and other organizations in understanding how to deploy RFID technology securely and safely.
The paper focuses on RFID applications in the product supply chain, including tracking at the item level, says Tom Karygiannis, senior scientist at NIST and lead author of the paper. It does not address the use of RFID technology in smart-card applications for identification or payments, or applications that use near-field communications (NFC) technology.
So, what? No Logan’s Run?
