Thesis (MTech. degree in Computer Systems) -- Tshwane University of Technology, 2010. / Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are becoming more popular today, especially in first world countries. This is a result of the systems wide range of applications. RFID technology is used in several industries, such as: transport, sport, medicine and government institutions. The advantages that the technology offers promote its widespread use and implementation in various industries. RFID systems have the capacity to store more information than other identification technologies (for example barcode technology). Data can be read with ease as it does not require line of sight and human intervention. Despite several implementations in many industries, RFID still has some disadvantages, for instance implementation cost and issues of security and privacy. The focus of this study is the security and privacy issues in the RFID environment.
