RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION?

RFID is a system that facilitates the tracking Of, ,objects primarily for inventory tracking via a three

,part technology comprised of a reader a decoder host( ).and a transponder RF tag RFID is a wireless system

that works in conjunction with an organization sinformation technology infrastructure to improve

business processes such as inventory management andefficienc in su l chain mana ement

RFID System Components

RFID Tag(Transponder)o Also known as a ,transponder the tag consists of a silicon chip

RFID Reader(Transceiver)o , ,Consist of a RF module a control unit and a coupling element t

interrogate tags via RF communicationo Also have secondary interface to communicate with backend systemso Reads tags located in hostile environment

Data Processing Subsystem(Host)o -Connected via high speed networko Database storage

TYPES OF TAGS

Active tags Passive tags

Power Battery Supplied by the reader

Availability of power Continuous Only in field of reader

Range ~100m up to 3-5m, usually less

Price 10-100 euro less than 10 eurocentsMemory 1-2Mb 0.5-2Kb

Size > 2cm > 0.05mm

.Tags can be passive or active An active tag,contains some type of power source on the tag

whereas the passive tags rely on the radio signal.sent by the reader for power Most RFIDapplications today utilize passive tags because

.they are so much cheaper to manufacture

;RFID tags can be read at much greater distances an RFID reader can.pull information from a tag at distances up to 300 feet The range, .to read a barcode is much less typically no more than fifteen feet

.RFID tags and barcodes both carry information about products

,However there are important differences between these twotechnologies:

APPLICATION OF RFID TECHNOLOGY IN A PORT

APPLICATION OF RFID TECHNOLOGY IN A PORT

/The primary advantage to RFID in a port terminal application is that it is . ,an automatic data collection technology That is no operator

,intervention or action is required Whereas other forms of data collection,whether bar code or manual methods depend on employees to record

.information

:The two direct benefits of this are

se of RFID for Human Identification

Miners or firefighters might be appropriately identified using RFID because

.of identification is at a premium in dangerous situations

Facilities managers use identification to control access to sensitive.infrastructures that may be damaged or used to harm They use it to control

access to facilities where sensitive information about other infrastructure

, .may be kept or where security planning or operations are carried out

:2004 The attorney general of Mexicoand 18 of his staff had chips- .implanted to allow them to gain access to certain high security areas

:2006 President of Colombia

:agree to require Colombian citizens to be

implanted with RFID chips before they could gain entry into the US forseasonal work

:2008 UK jails considering RFID implants for prisoners

Things that can go wrong

Skimming-The envelope contains a hermetically sealed RFID enabled

.credit card Malicious reader can extract the information as

- .the envelope is not necessarily RF hermetic Can be a problem.if mailboxes can be easily accessed

Tag cloningJamming

jamming attack, where an adversary blocks all RF channels between reader

Recent Developments in RFID

, , ,Companies like Microsoft IBM and Philips Electronics which recently,made product enhancement announcement in this area are also

. , , , ,participants in the industry IBM in Armonk New York and Philips in, ,Amsterdam will team on RFID for supply chain management retail and

, , -asset management as well as smart card technology for finance e, .government transportation and event ticketing

- , , Wal Mart the world s second largest company is deploying RFID.technology in its stores

The US Defense Department recently announced it would require its suppliers( )to use wirelesstagsbased on radio frequency identification RFID

technology

Positive trendsq - .Degines of RFID are improving day by dayqq Cost of RFID decreases as capablity and funtionality expand

qq .Expanding capablities of RFIDq


18/21

enefits ASSOCIATED WITH PORT USING RFIDq Consistently monitor container security and

.integrity

q .Speed shipments through the supply chainq Verify that a container was loaded at a secure

.loading pointq Gather enough data to conduct a virtual

.inspection in advance of arrivalq Guarantee that shipping containers meet

.governmental security regulationsq Receive fast track or green lane handling through

/customs at the point of dispatch and or the point

.of receipt

q Avoid extensive delays in the shipment and receipt.

Conclusion

Most of the Ports around the World is using thisTechnology for betterment

RFID Technology is coming faster than what wethought

RFID is a boom for Port and Shipping Industry If properly used it provides a Greater Landmark for

&Port Shipping Sector

Suggestions...

o Individuals should be able to turn off any RFID signal

.associated with tracking their presence or activities Where,possible they also should have the option not to participatea program involving the use of RFID technology to track

.their movements

o

o

o ,Ensure that only authorized readers can read the tags and that;only authorized personnel have access to the readers

o

o /Avoid electronic collisions when multiple tags and or readers

are present;o

o Maintain the integrity of the data on the chip and stored in;the database

o

o

Private tag contents should be protected by access control and

encryption

Should be very cheap
