Abstract
With the widespread use of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology as a means for commerce and identification, new types of cybercrime have emerged. Accordingly, revisions to extant cybercrime law are required. This research attempts to determine the relevance of current UAE laws in addressing new cybercrimes on emergent technologies. We reviewed the literature to identify threats to RFID systems, classifying works into three categories: blocking, interception, and physical attacks. We mapped these categories to 50 articles of the UAE cybercrime law to assess their relevance. According to the distribution of law articles pertaining to RFID attacks, it was found that RFID communication interception attacks are not sufficiently addressed in the law and that further amendments are required in the UAE. Example of international statutes are highlighted as models.
随着射频识别(RFID)技术作为商业和身份识别手段的广泛使用,出现了新型网络犯罪。因此,需要对现有的网络犯罪法进行修订。本研究试图确定阿联酋现行法律在应对新兴技术上的新型网络犯罪方面的相关性。我们查阅了相关文献,以确定 RFID 系统面临的威胁,并将作品分为三类:拦截、截获和物理攻击。我们将这些类别与阿联酋网络犯罪法的 50 个条款相对应,以评估其相关性。根据与射频识别(RFID)攻击有关的法律条文的分布情况,我们发现法律对射频识别(RFID)通信拦截攻击的处理不够充分,阿联酋需要进一步修订。国际法规的范例得到了强调。
