Security white papers

• Secura Key Radio Key Technology
  Published August 2009

  Radio Key is Secura Key's brand name for its 125 kHz proximity cards. Radio Key cards, key tags and interrogators employ proximity technology and are suitable for a variety of applications, including access control, time and attendance, membership, parking, fuel management, and more. This document outlines basic operation, credentials, control applications and uses for non-access applications, to familiarize applications providers, consultants, resellers and end users with the capabilities of Radio Key.

• FRAM-Based Smart ICs for Government Electronic IDs
  Published June 2008

  Texas Instruments' Joseph Pearson and Dr. Ted Moise detail the advantages of embedded FRAM memory for smart ICs, in contrast to the traditional memory technologies currently used in many e-passport and government ID programs.

• Improving Security With Identification Printing
  Published August 2005

  Zebra Technologies explains how to improve security with identification printing solutions, featuring bar-code, radio frequency identification, graphics, logos, digitized photos and text, with real-world examples of how companies and law enforcement agencies have benefited from ID card and label printing technology.

• The Role of Chips in Making Identification Documents More Secure
  Published July 2005

  With the United States taking enormous strides toward strengthening its homeland security in the years following the terrorist attacks of Sep. 11, 2001, Infineon Technologies examines the use of chip-based identification in ePassports, as well as the role of education in assuaging public concerns.

• ASEMC: Authentication for a SEcure M-Commerce
  Published June 2005

  This white paper, written by Christina Braz and Esma Aimeur, describes a user-centered security authentication system against fraud, counterfeit and theft for the mobile commerce domain, specifically for mobile devices. This, the authors assert, is achieved through a microprocessor chip implanted under human skin.

• Security and Privacy in Radio-Frequency Identification Devices
  Published May 2003

  This thesis, written by Stephen August Weis, presents an introduction to RFID technology, identifies several potential threats to security and privacy, and offers practical proposals for efficient security mechanisms. The author offers policy suggestions and discusses various open questions and areas of research.

• Security and Privacy in Radio Frequency Indentification Devices
  Published May 2003

  This white paper, submitted by Stephen August Weiss to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, was written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master of Science Degree in computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. RFID systems are a common and useful tool in manufacturing, supply chain management and retail inventory control. Due to advances in silicon manufacturing technology, RFID costs have dropped significantly. In the near future, low-cost RFID electronic product codes, or “smart-labels,” may be a practical replacement for optical bar codes on consumer items. However, the universal deployment of RFID devices in consumer items may expose new security and privacy risks not present in closed manufacturing environments. This thesis presents an introduction to RFID, identifies several threats to security and privacy and offers practical proposals for efficient security mechanisms, along with policy suggestions, open questions and areas of research.
