Attacking RFID--Part II
Find out how attacks take place by reading Part 2 of a 2-Chapter series from 'RFID Security.' Here is the first segment of Chapter 5--RFID Attacks: Tag Application Attacks.
Retail Supply Chain
Metro Group: Intranet of (Retail) Goods
The German-based retailer plans to expand engineering and design efforts for RFID projects at strategic locations throughout Europe and Asia. The company also plans to open a Future Store in May to highlight new technologies.
RFID Item-Level Tagging Leaps Toward 2008
RFID was heralded as the technology that would revolutionize business. While it hasn't lived up to the hype, item-level tagging holds promise for the new year. These retail deployments contribute to software and hardware worldwide revenue gains that Gartner expects to reach $960 million this year, climbing to $3.46 billion in 2011.
Nonretail Businesses Take Lead With Item-Level RFID
Retailers have pushed hard to develop RFID, but they lag other industries when it comes to the technology's gold standard--item-level tagging

Attacking RFID--Part I
Find out how attacks take place by reading Part I of a 2-part series from 'RFID Security.' Chapter 3--Threat and Target Identification--looks at how they do it.
RFID Automation Bundled In SaaS
Think of a digital music download site like Napster, which relies on a P2P network. The platform works similar, but the peers are the RFID devices on a company's network.
Put RFID in the Toolbox
We're past the hype--so how does really RFID fit into today's toolbox?

NATO's Challenge In Multinational Logistics
Find out how North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meets multinational supply chain and logistics challenges by reading Part I of a 2-part series. The findings can provide insight into understanding security vulnerabilities and identifying where things could go wrong in any business supply chain.
Where is my ammo?
Radio-frequency identification has ushered the U.S. militarys global supply chain into the 21st century. That was clear in the massive logistics operations last year for the Iraq war as the military services precisely tracked myriad shipments from all over the world to the war front, located quickly needed material and eliminated human errors that plague manual tracking systems.
RFID Reality Check

NATO's Engineering Challenge
Find out how North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) meets multinational supply chain and logistics challenges by reading Part II of a 2-part series. The findings can provide insight into understanding engineering and security vulnerabilities to identify where things could go wrong in any business supply chain.
E-seals: The Missing Key
A new generation of RFID devices aims to improve shipping container security to keep cargo and consumers safe.
New ID system is 'lousy' technology but it's cheap
Three different identification card programs under development in the United States will use three different technologies with no consistency, little long-term strategy and a virtually nonexistent regime of government coordination.

Consumer Devices and Embedded Applications
European Union: Internet of Things
By 2020 the Internet will have disappeared. It will integrate into the physical environment. The much-debated Web 3.0 or Web N.0 will become a reality. What are the key policy issues--security, privacy, safety, governance, standards, spectrum, sustainability, health--and how will society address them?
'How to Cheat': The Physics of RFID--Part V
In this final segment of Chapter 2 from 'How to Cheat at Deploying and Securing RFID,' we finally pull it all together with a summary of the chapter and a glossary of key terms used throughout the article. The entire chapter--The Physics of RFID--provides a basic understanding of the physics of RFID communications and the characteristics that affect system performance during an RF wave's journey.
Reporter's Notebook: Engineering Consumer Apps
Company executives now realize the same technology deployed in supply chains to improve visibility of goods can offer consumers unique experiences in stores they won't soon forget. Conversations with executives at Microsoft, Time Domain, Impinj and ThingMagic reveal some of the business and consumer applications you can expect to see in the near future. Separately, Patrick Moorhead, national manager, research and development for advanced marketing solutions at the digital advertising agency Avenue A-Razorfish, reveals insight on a sensor-based application called Microsoft Surface for retail stores.
