Recently the US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) published guidance on how to securely use RFID technology.

SP800-98 delivers as follows:

- explains RFID technology,

- places RFID in context,

- reviews risk involved with each of its uses and

- suggests mitigative controls.

You can download the document here:

- Karygiannis, T., Eydt, B., Barber, G., Bunn, L., Phillips, T. (2007). Guidelines for Securing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems (SP800-98). Washington DC: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – 1.6 MB

The document addresses such issues as:

- business process,

- business intelligence and privacy risk, in addition to

- ‘external risks’ such as those involved with electromagnetic radiation.

These important issues where also addressed here:

e-passports cracked 1 – safety is non-existant

e-passports cracked 2 – German, Dutch and UK citizens beware and take care

e-passports cracked 3 – Budapest Declaration raises concerns about e-passports, privacy and citizens rights

- e-passports cracked 4 – will more biometrics make a difference?

The NIST document is 150 pages long and, as a result, very detailed.

Previous NIST documents:

- Best practice – NIST documents released – SP 800-45, SP 800-94, SP 800-97
