RFIDsec launches privacy-enabled RFID tag
RFIDsec’s brand new product line, available this instant, compose “the World’s first series of solutions that completely block unauthorized access to a RFID tag.”
Or so says the company’s press release.
Here’s the dirt:
With the RFIDsec goods, you get the possibility of differentiated access using a patent pending and secure access management system.
You also get the option of shutting off the tag at the point of sale - using the RFIDsec unique feature “Silent Mode.” (Instead of killing the tag, the RFIDsec tag are just put in silent mode, maintaining all data for further use in reclaim situations and the like.) The owner of the product carrying the tag is in complete control of the tag and the way it communicates. RFIDsec offers “Control” instead of “Kill”.
Using a so-called unique technology implementing cryptography on tag level, the RFIDsec tags are safe for eavesdropping all the way through the product life cycle. Combined with the patent pending Access Management System, which allows for differentiated access to the tag, both regarding the right to read and write data on the tag, the solutions are offering unprecedented safety and flexibility of use to the users of RFID throughout the product life cycle.
RFIDsec Product launch: The first privacy enabled and secure RFID tag on the market
[06/21/06]
RFIDsec announced the availability of the World’s first series of RFID solutions that completely block unauthorized access to a RFID tag.
Alongside with uncontested security the RFIDsec solutions offer owners the possibility of differentiated access using a patent pending and secure access management system.
Buyer scepticism towards product’s “tagged” with RFID tags has been a major obstacle for the deployment of RFID tags. The RFIDsec solutions solve this once and for all, offering the possibility to shut off the tag at the point of sale - using the RFIDsec unique feature “Silent Mode”. Instead of killing the tag, the RFIDsec tag are just put in silent mode, maintaining all data for further use in reclaim situations and the like. The owner of the product carrying the tag is in complete control of the tag and the way it communicates. RFIDsec offers “Control” instead of “Kill”.
Safety at all times
Using a unique technology implementing cryptography on tag level, the RFIDsec tags are safe for eavesdropping all the way through the product life cycle. Combined with the patent pending Access Management System, which allows for differentiated access to the tag, both regarding the right to read and write data on the tag, the solutions are offering unprecedented safety and flexibility of use to the users of RFID throughout the product life cycle.
A set-up with multiple keys, allows to control access and data on the tag in a flexible and dynamic manner. Furthermore RFIDsec tags are protected against cloning and copying, providing unique features for product authentication and preventing counterfeit products.
RFIDsec calls this ‘Privacy by Design’
“We are working with the Industry, Large Global Systems Integrators, RFID Tag Manufacturers and RFID ASIC providers and it is definitely confirmed that our technology is addressing real needs in the Market place across the various Industries. The huge interest we have met tells me that a number of the current RFID Tag Providers will want to integrate our technology on their Tags , as it seams there are no other solutions available.” says Henrik Granau, CEO RFIDsec.
RFIDsec are accepting orders for privacy enabled and secure RFID solutions now!
Product descriptions will be available from the company’s website. www.rfidsec.com
The ASIC has been developed with assistance from RFIDsec’s Development Partner, DELTA. The manufacturing of the production version is managed by DELTA on RFIDsec’s behalf.
