RFID Links and Resources
I created this page because I know I?m not yet an expert on this technology. I wanted to be able to provide a page with external links that people can use to learn more about RFID and even see different perspectives. The last thing I wanted was for there to be a biased message on this website.

This resource gives a very good perspective on privacy and security provided by RFID technology. It really allows an informational facts ?based view on the implications and applications of RFID technology.

People might be worried that someone could wirelessly steal your information wirelessly off of your passport.

Each passport has an individual identification number that would not give any potential thieves access to you.

This video provides information about securing government identification using RFID and allows the viewer to see how RFID cards will be used and how they work compared to smart cards. Given today?s current security climate it is important to create a faster and more secure form of government identification.
