Describe some RFID applications that might pose a threat to privacy. What information does RFID enable them to track? </span><br /></strong></span><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span>Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a type of automatic identification system. The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics about the product tagged, such as price, color, date of purchase, etc. The use of RFID in tracking and access applications first appeared during the 1980s. RFID quickly gained attention because of its ability to track moving objects. As the technology is refined, more pervasive—and invasive—uses for RFID tags are in the works. While barcodes have historically been the primary means of tracking products, RFID systems are rapidly becoming the preferred technology for keeping tabs on people, pets, products, and even vehicles. One reason for this is because the read/write capability of an active RFID system enables the use of interactive applications.<br />RFID Applications are limited only by imagination! Many will become cost effective as the price of individual tags reduces with volumes manufactured, and other opportunities will be enabled as the technology develops. You can limit the search of the RFID Exchange database for companies to those that support the application areas below<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=s"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Supply chain automation</span></strong></a> - the key early driver for developments and implementation of the technology<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=a"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Asset tracking</span></strong></a> - tracking of assets in offices, labs, warehouses, pallets and containers in the supply chain, books in libraries<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=h"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Medical applications</span></strong></a> - linking a patient with key drugs, personnel giving the drugs, biometric measurements<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=p"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">People tracking</span></strong></a> - security tracking for entrance management or security, contact management at events, baby tags in hospitals to manage access to post-natal wards<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=m"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Manufacturing</span></strong></a> - tracking of parts during manufacture, tracking of assembled items<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=r"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Retail</span></strong></a> - tracking store trolleys in supermarkets, active shelves<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=w"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Warehouses</span></strong></a> - Real-time inventory by automated registration of items in a warehouse or store-room<br /><a href="http://www.rfidexchange.com/applications.aspx?applications=l"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Livestock</span></strong></a><span style="color:#000000;"> </span>- implanted RFID tags in animals for tracking and linking the animal to food, location.

How do these applications threaten personal privacy? how serious is this threat?</strong></span><br /><br />Surveillance is becoming much easier thanks to radio frequency identification (RFID) technology - a fact not lost on well-informed consumers and the privacy and data protection community.<br />There is growing recognition that the same RFID application which is employed ostensibly to prevent counterfeiting or the theft of cash or goods could also be used to track an individual’s spending habits, preferences and even physical movements. This information could be used for a host of unauthorised and unsolicited activities such as targeted marketing and dynamic pricing.<br /><br />From a privacy standpoint, the current simplicity of the tag’s response, which does not differentiate between requests based on origin or identity, is a flaw. Thieves could use the tags to locate the whereabouts of valuables and interested persons could obtain access to another’s medical records or passport details, or trace another’s spending habits or physical movements.<br />The implications are therefore extensive but, at present, many concerns about RFID are largely theoretical. This is due to the fact that most RFID applications are not yet widely deployed because they are being trialled or because of cost.<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">"RFID sort of lends itself to a surreptitious tracking model, simply because of the way the tech operates, silently and through radio waves. If people have an interest in surreptitious tracking, RFID is a natural candidate."<br /></span></em><br />Civil liberties advocates point out that the ability to track people, products, vehicles, and even currency would create an Orwellian world where law enforcement officials and nosy retailers could read the contents of a handbag—perhaps without a person's knowledge—simply by installing RFID readers nearby.<br /><br />Even the RFID industry itself is aware of the threat to privacy posed by the development and installation of tags in commonplace items. Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (CASPIAN) recently located internal public relations <a href="http://www.autoidcenter.com/media/external_comm.pdf" target="new">documents</a> which detail how RFID developers plan to offset public opposition to the technology<br /><br />The proposed uses of RFID tags pose exponentially greater risks to personal privacy. Many technology experts predict the development of a seamless network of millions of RFID receivers strategically placed around the globe in airports, seaports, highways, distribution centers, warehouses, retail stores, and consumers' homes, all of which are constantly reading, processing, and evaluating consumers behaviors and purchases. In addition to undermining a consumer's ability to enjoy a lifestyle in relative anonymity, critics of the technology counter that the information gathered by RFID readers could be obtained by the government for surveillance or monitoring the activities of citizens, or even misused by hackers and criminals. Even more, the ever-expanding use of RFID chips would leave no aspect of life safe from the prying eyes of retail and corporate giants. Chips integrated into commonplace products such as floor tiles, shelf paper, cabinets, appliance, exercise equipment, and grocery and packaged products would allow even our most intimate activities to be monitored.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#000066;">3. Should those RFID applications be deployed? Why, or why not? Justify your answer.</span><br /></strong><br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>Positive Uses for RFIDs<br /></strong><br />RFID tags are allowing for some pretty amazing new inventions. Among them:<br /><br />· <span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Talking prescriptions</strong>,</span> which allow people with visual impairments to "read" the drug's name, warnings, etc. using a battery-powered talking prescription reader.<br /><span style="color:#000000;">· <strong>Pet identification.</strong></span> Tiny microchips can be implanted into pets so they can be located and returned to their owners if lost.<br />· <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Cattle identification</span></strong>. RFIDs can replace barcode tags and identify an animal's herd of origin.<br />· <span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Automatic toll collection</strong>.</span> Perhaps the most common way RFIDs are currently used, the tags allow tolls to be debited from a prepaid account when vehicles drive by.<br /><span style="color:#000000;">· <strong>The Smart Key/Smart Start option for some vehicles</strong>.</span> This allows the owner to open their car's doors and start the car while the key is still in their pocket or purse (an RFID senses the key when it is within a range of about three feet).<br /><span style="color:#000000;">· <strong>Prison tracking wristbands</strong>,</span> which can tell if an inmate has tried to remove the band and sends an alert to a prison computer in response.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Protection by law</strong><br /><br /><br /><ul><li>If an application involves the processing of personal data, which can be used directly or indirectly to identify an individual, that application will be subject to certain core data protection principles contained in the law.<br /></li><li>These principles include requirements of fair and lawful processing, retention of personal data for only as long as necessary and collection of data which is relevant and not excessive for the purposes it has been collected.<br /></li><li>A further requirement is informed consent, which means in many circumstances the details of how the information in a RFID tag will be used will need to be made clear at the outset.<br /></li><li>In addition, the requirement of fair and lawful processing is broad and means that manufacturers and deployers of RFID tags would need to label those products containing tags, provide information on how to disable or remove the tags and inform consumers when RFID readers are within range.<br /></li></ul><p>As RFID develops and becomes more mainstream, it will need to be monitored from a legal standpoint and the benefits of certain applications weighed against the sometimes competing interest of maintaining privacy.The risks and conflicts of RFID may be addressed in the future through legislation, but for the time being it seems the issue will remain the subject of debate. Meanwhile, I don't think the possibility of inappropriate tracking tomorrow should prevent us from using RFID technologies for the important benefits they can bring us today.<br /></p>Fauzan Naeemhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02454437094853129085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890870251155104812.post-76364548593885405572009-04-03T07:24:00.000-07:002009-04-03T07:32:51.522-07:00All Karachi Futsal Tournament Coming SoonHow many of you have played futsal, football's mini-version, but lament the number of tournaments which support the sport?

I was born having a weight of about 2.5 pounds...yes thats true :D<br /><br />Academically, my life has taken me to :<br />Bahria college karsaz : Kindergarden till grade 5<br />Army Public School O'levels : Grade 6 till O' levels i.e. grade 11<br />The Lyceum : A ' Levels<br />Institute of Business Administration : BBA ongoing<br /><br />Throughout my life i have always been fascinated by sports, sports stars and many of these have been my role models. Till today, I have played Cricket, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Table tennis, Volleyball, Badminton, Rugby, Atletics and even Gymnastics.<br /><br />I have always played for my academic institutions and have played various sports. I have played for My Houses in institutions, was the captain os school Fooball team in APS, member of school and house cricket & Hockey team.<br />In lyceum i was in school & House team for both Cricket and football. Currently im an active member of the IBA football team named IBA UTD.<br /><br />Other than sports, TV and movies takes a lot of my time. I am also into gaming and my preferances are sports, action, and straegy games. It has not been a long time, that i have also incorporated music and piano into my already busy schedule :D<br /><br />In Pakistan i have visited Lahore, Pindi, Faisalabd, Gujranwala, Islamabad, Muree and the northern areas. The only foreign place have been to is Dubai and that was a family tour during the festival.<br /><br />My favourite music is softrock, rock, alternative/pop rock, and blues. I love to hear to Muse, Coldplay, Poets of the fall, Brayan adams, greenday, U2 and the list goes on.<br /><br />The only books i have read are:<br />Harry potter, The kite runner, Beckham's & Gerrard's Biographies and a few more.<br /><br />I am a die hard follower of Manchester United Football club and this is the sport that i love to play and watch. I try to collect jerseys and anything related to the sport, clubs and masters of the game. I have also played in some clubs, an academy and just normal street football.<br /><br />So, i guess this is it...<br />U let me know if u know more =)<br />cheers <div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSUf6n1MFL3bIhW7S93VLGN2hKEIOR5r7GEuihNutF2rbwey4Kn1CBTHVXm0y_IF-1HYOtvuoFs7OQy-Avolhld-T6H0dtFqTI4-BcOmWgFyfe2aBj6zdWAX-SZMA8nLI98XdpLeUuiTT9/s1600-h/n665175225_1966574_6002.jpg"></a></div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxy8Bcj-sCjlVWeGxsp_dtOMNothuGe6qr6cjCjyBTmmTE8jFwvwKxZ-4f0dOLAizzKsIyBPNtVZQu0bx_UOK7aWhn0PcaavL1z0rKMwVs_YN2133Yhsh84H7671bWPhIM2oNq25gfYIq6/s1600-h/n505040497_2604623_7138633.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314511912051247618" style="FLOAT: left;

Football is by far the most popular sport at the IBA as it is played by many and the on-campus tournaments entertain the student body in general. Consequently, IBA United has gone from strength to strength over the past five years, both in terms of success and recognition.</div><br /><div>For several years students have taken an iniative to formulate a football team for IBA - a team which was not recognized by the IBA and therefore did not have any support from the administration. Initially the University Campus and City Campus had separate teams until in 2004 the campuses united to form a team known as IBA United. IBA United, over the past four years, have played in several competitions in Karachi and play friendly matches on a regular basis. Additionally, they hold practice sessions on a regular basis as well. However, this was always unofficial as students would always pool in money for ground fees, kits, and equipment. The first time IBA United received any sort of recognition was when they played in the AKU tournament in May'08; as it was the requirement of the organizers that forms etc. were stamped and that a cheque from the university was issued. </div><br /><div>IBA United’s success began by winning the Adidas Cup held in 2004 in Karachi. During the same period it also defeated the infamous Karachi United.

I hope to enlighten u all about the issue at hand and provide u with some cold facts and visuals to show how real the threat is. Please allow me from the outset to stress that I’m not a specialist on global warming. I’m no Al Gore, but the subject is one I feel passionately about.<br /><br />Global warming refers to an average increase in the earth’s temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. History has already shown us examples of the fatal consequences of over-exploitation of natural resources. It is said, “History repeats itself”, but before, it was some local cultures that suffered, this time climate change is such that the future of the entire globe is at stake.<br /><br />Global warming is not just an environmental issue, as too many people believed for too long. It is an all-encompassing threat. It is a threat to the world’s supply of fresh water, our source of life. Through reduced rainfall, melting glaciers, extended drought and salt-water intrusion, water stress is expected to increase and spread as this century unfolds.<br /><br />It could imperil the world’s food supply, as rising temperatures and prolonged drought render fertile areas unfit for grazing or crops. It could endanger the very ground on which nearly half the world’s population live – in coastal cities – which face inundation from sea levels rising as a result of thermal expansion of oceans and melting icecaps and glaciers. This is not science fiction. These are plausible scenarios, based on clear and rigorous scientific modelling. Many scientists long known for their caution are now saying that global warming trends are perilously close to a point of no return.There is no debate among scientists about the basic facts of global warming. The only debate in the science community about global warming is about how much and how fast warming will continue. Scientists have given a clear warning about global warming.<br /><br />But why so much hype ?<br />It’s because of its potential devastating effects<br />The projected implications for the economy, energy, food production, water supplies, natural disasters and migration from climate-stressed regions, have made climate change a factor of national and global security.<br /><br />(presentation)<br />Ladies and gentlemen, now I would like your attention as I show you some visuals and consequences supporting the claim that global warming is indeed “an inconvenient truth”.<br /><br />(Speech)<br />So these were only a handful of facts and visuals to support the claim of global warming as a threat to life on earth.<br /><br />There is little doubt that the planet is warming and a rise of about two degrees Fahrenheit over land areas, seems almost innocuous, being less than day-to-day weather fluctuations. But more warming is already “in the- pipeline”. If u look at 10 hottest years ever measured, they have all occurred over the last 14 years and the hottest of all was 2005. More ominous tipping points loom. West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are vulnerable to even small additional warming. These two-mile-thick behemoths respond slowly at first, but if disintegration gets well underway it will become unstoppable.<br /><br />New evidence has emerged that a large plate of floating ice shelf attached to Antarctica Wilkins ice is breaking up, in a troubling sign of global warming, In the past three decades, six Antarctic ice shelves have collapsed completely .Debate among scientists is only about how much sea level would rise by a given date. Some say Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches by the end of the century and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters). Mountain glaciers are the source of fresh water for hundreds of millions of people. These glaciers are receding world-wide, in the Himalayas, Andes and Rocky Mountains. They will disappear, leaving their rivers as trickles in late summer and fall, unless the growth of carbon dioxide is reversed.<br /><br />Water shortage, drought, desertification, rising sea levels , storms, floods , heat waves , cold waves are the extreme consequences of global warming and their frequency and intensity will be greater. It is clear that climate protection is a matter of both national and international security. The consequences of global warming will hit hardest on the developing countries because they are poor – giving them less adaptive capacity. They already live on the front lines of pollution, disaster and the degradation of resources and land. Their livelihoods and sustenance depend directly on agriculture, forestry and fisheries. For them adaptation is a matter of sheer survival. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313827983490073154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 215px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNI9nLfo83j5F3VW4mcmm52r6nrXa8wh8daF8OwCuj5AT36ONPoAlRxZ-fT2693cGixWc8Ko-sD42LoFxnce30vykOzGglIiJ5QneHEK2Kb6lU_5Hs8GPrNv2HkW3vCHD1lJiF-Q70kaBu/s320/Global_Warming_Cartoon.jpg" border="0" /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;">There can be no room any more for skepticism on global warming.<br />If politicians remain at loggerheads, citizens must lead. We must demand a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants. We must block fossil fuel interests who aim to squeeze every last drop of oil from public lands, off-shore, and wilderness areas. Those last drops are no solution.<br />We do not own the earth. We administer it on behalf of our successors. Each of us is confronted with a choice: a choice that will impact not only our future, but the futures of our children and grandchildren. Do we continue with a business-as-usual attitude? Or do we make the changes necessary to prevent catastrophe?<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;">Ladies and Gentlemen, Our earth’s fragile ecosystems are already stretched to their limit.Be energy conscious. Bring pressure on your utility, your government, and commit yourself and your family to reduce energy consumption. Don't shift the burden to the next generation. The choice is clear. It is time to stop talking and to begin acting. Even as we seek to cut emissions, we must at the same time do far more to adapt to global warming and its effects. Together, let us seek solutions that will lighten our human footprint on the environment; solutions that will leave our children, our grandchildren, and future generations, a healthy legacy.<br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;">Thank you very much for your attention.</span></div>Fauzan
