Uniting Legislation with RFID Privacy-Enhancing Technologies

Abstract

RFID is a popular identification and automation technology with serious security and privacy threats. Legislation expounds upon the actual security and privacy needs of people in RFID-enabled environments, while technology helps to ensure legal compliance. This paper examines the main aims of RFID privacy legislation, and explains how to achieve them using RFID privacy-enhancing technologies. The discussion reveals that multiple RFID privacyenhancing technologies must be combined and coordinated to achieve the protection of an individual. People currently do not have a tool that allows them to do this, so we suggest the development of a unified platform that can manage, utilize, and integrate RFID privacy-enhancing technologies
