RDATE:18112005

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c28024) has announced the addition of Securing RFID: Vendor Strategies to Pre-Empt the Potentially Catastrophic Breach of an Unsecured RFID System to their offering

With RFID starting to make headway in a number of industries, few are considering the security of wireless tags. The effects of a very public breach of security in an RFID environment could irreparably damage the technology's future, especially in customer facing applications.

This report highlights the main ways in which security could impact RFID implementations within the manufacturing, retail or public sector verticals. It apportions responsibility between the different technology players within the RFID market for the security issues. The report singles out one of the technology companies, RSA Security, currently offering solutions to aid the securing of RFID in the market at the moment.

Vendors need to act now in order to pre-empt any major issues in the future. A single implementation that is split apart by poor security within full public view could reverse the steady uptake of RFID and permanently affect its future.

RFID as a technology has already encountered numerous stumbling blocks in its path to expected ubiquity. The high cost of tags, the lack of best practices and high levels of skepticism are but a few issues attributed to hindering wider market adoption.
