Learn about ePedigrees and whatnot this month.

Louis Parks, founder and CEO of SecureRF Corporation will give a presentation titled “RFID in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain - Security Challenges and Opportunities” on Wednesday, April 25, from 3:15-4:15 p.m. at INTERPHEX2007 conference Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

In this session, he will detail security and privacy issues in deploying RFID and the validity of these concerns.
