Exercise 1

You have been asked to participate in developing the requirements for an RFID-based identification card for students, faculty, and affiliates at a university. First, list five to ten different uses of the card. Second, from that list of uses, detail what data the card needs to broadcast to receivers that will accomplish those uses. Third, identify uses that could be made of that data by rogue receivers surreptitiously planted around the university campus. Which rogue accesses threaten personal privacy? In what ways? What is the degree of harm?

Step 1 of 7

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification)

The problem speculates on the use of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) for Universities. The identification cards are assigned to faculty, students, and affiliates at a university.
