Privacy Commissioner Warns of Privacy Threat From RFID Use
RFID technology could become a major privacy threat, warns Privacy Commissioner Marie Shroff. In a keynote address to last week�s Privacy Awareness Week opening forum, she said although RFID might not present a clear and immediate threat to personal privacy, the potential range of applications left room for concern, as well as doubt about future uses. The devices were promiscuous in that they could talk to any compatible reader, as well as being stealthy and remotely readable.
