RFID

Abstract:-

In recent years there is a rapidly growing increase in the use of RFID(Radio

Frequency Identification technology) to enhance the computing environment.
One of the pivotal reasons for the popularity of this technology is that it does not
require a line of sight method. In other words any device or object having an
RFID tag whether it is active or passive can be identified via a radio frequency
channel without the need of any contact. RFID technology is being used in varied
fields like production tracking, supply chain management and personalised
information services. But on the other hand it fails to enforce anonymity
completely and is able to accomplish only weak authentication and denial of few
other aspects. All of these flaws can be rectified over time(like RFID tags with
cryptographically secure authentication) and this technology does have the
potential to progressively be very reliable and making the lives of many easier.
RFID tag and system on their own are very vast topics consisting of various
important parts and even though it is an emerging field it is very well established
in many companies. The main aim of this presentation is to improve our outlook
and understanding of RFID technology and how future improvements and
projects can better the solutions offered today.
RFID tags are an improved version of the barcode overcoming it’s very obvious
setbacks like barcode is a read only technology and for RFID tags being able to
transmit information changes the dynamic altogether. Even keeping inventory in
stores is much easier in case of RFID tags as each product’s barcode must be
scanned in order to access it later.
