More Criticism of Homeland Security Panel's RFID Viewpoint

The industry has at last circled the wagons and is speaking out about the vague and negative report from The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the viability of RFID.

The Smart Card Alliance (SCA) has given a robust defence of the technology claiming that the report makes some fundamental errors in coming to its conclusions. According to SCA: “We believe that the report defines RFID too broadly and, therefore, this recommendation will unduly restrict appropriate and secure applications of smart cards with RF technology that can meet the strictest privacy and security requirements.”
