RFID usage issues in the supply chain

Abstract

Soon RFID technology will be universal for tracking items, products, animals, shipments and even humans. The pervasiveness of RFID technology has given rise to a number of serious issues including security and privacy concerns. This paper will discuss current RFID usage issues and conduct a threat analysis of the RFID usage in the SCM processes then identify issues/risks and discuss how these issues can be resolved or risks can be mitigated.
