While there are many positive aspects in which RFID devices are useful, there have also been increased concerns over the privacy and security of personal information. Advanced Security and Privacy for RFID Technologies addresses these concerns with its comprehensive coverage on current issues with security models and everyday threats and vulnerabilities. This informative publication not only addresses the security risks involved with RFID technologies, but also gives insight on some possible solutions and preventions. Researchers, professionals, and practitioners aiming to better understand the risks involved with these developing technologies will benefit from this book’s expansive coverage on the topic.
