The rise in e-commerce transactions and innovations in payment methods mean that faster, more secure, and more convenient payment options are available to the consumer and retailer. For example, proximity payment methods such as radio frequency identification (RFID) are ideal in merchant locations where speed is essential. Payment information is sent from the consumer’s smart card via wireless technology to a reader at the payee site. The rise in card fraud over the last few years – caused by hi

Tech.view: Have chip, will travel : Via The Economist. A MONTH of tramping around Europe has given your correspondent a chance to see how effective the new e-passports are at border crossings. Between them, his family holds American, Japanese and British passports, each recently renewed. Unlike previous ones, the e-passports contain biometric data embedded in a radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip, along with the usual mugshot and optical bar-code. Although all new passports conform, m

The Associated Pressreports on the privacy and security problems that can come from embedding use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology (which transmits data wirelessly from a chip or tag to a reader) into identification cards. The Associated Pressdiscusses the video made by Chris Paget, a hacker who was able to remotely scan, gather ID information, and clone “passport cards” and “enhanced driver’s licenses.”Paget used cheap, off-the-shelf technology, “a Matrics antenna and a Motorola

War drivers have moved, from looking for open wireless systems to obtain free Internet access, to skimming data off IDs that use unencrypted embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) chips. Government agencies are using RFID chips to remotely and silently check the identity of persons carrying these special ID documents. As RFID enabled government issued IDs become more prevalent government, commercial, and criminal applications for the technology will develop. Chips in official IDs ra

HealthCareNews Note: This comes from my friend "Mike" I asked him once what kind of work he was involved with? He told me that "He would tell me"...but then he would have to........I think you get the point...JDL HARRISBURG, PA – The VeriChip Corporation, a Delray Beach, Fla.-based provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare, is supporting a Pennsylvania bill that would ban the forced implantation of identification devices in people. The bill, introduced by

Will Your ID Soon Be a Microchip Under Your Skin? Drew Halley Singularity Hub July 3, 2009 Yet another sci-fi milestone is upon us: microchips implanted under your skin and used to identify you. The VeriChip is the first radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip that’s been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in humans. The chip is the size of a long grain of rice, and can be implanted pretty much anywhere in the body (most commonly along the tricep). Depend

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.

An RFID tag is an object that can be stuck on or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification using radiowaves. The RFID tag can automatically be read from several meters away and does not have to be in the line of sight of the reader. The current thrust in RFID use is in supply chain management for large enterprises. RFID increases the speed and accuracy with which inventory can be tracked and managed thereby improving logistical effectiveness while reducing logistical cost.

Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a (RF) signal and perhaps other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal. A technology called chipless RFID allows for discrete identification of tags without an integrated circuit, thereby allowing tags to be printed directly onto assets at lower cost than traditional tags.

Nope. My primary reason for being here is not to buy and sell.
