RFID security and privacy concerns

ABSTRACT

There are a number of business cases for passive RFID and most are based on the assumption that the RF tags, to include underlying IT systems are secure and authentic, and that privacy and security will not be a concern to the consumer. How do we identify the "real issues" and how do we eliminate or mitigate these concerns for government and commercial entities. What is the reality of all of the articles being circulated regarding RFID security and privacy?
