RFID Standards: three reactions
•• There aren’t any RFID standards
• There are far too many RFID standards
• Who cares about standards!

Why are Standards needed?Why are Standards needed?
Virtually every thing you did from the moment you woke up today was enabled because of
STANDARDS

The Traditional view of StandardsTo allow two or more items to interact with each other in a predictable way, even when there is no prior knowledge that this will happen.
• Interoperability
• Open systems
• Multi-sourcing
- But things are changing…..

RFID Standards•• Air Interfaces – frequency based: ISO 18000
• passive and active tags, sensors, vocabulary!
• Conformance and performance: ISO 18046/47• the need for consistency and predictability
• Data structure and access: ISO 15691/92• Data Security and Privacy: EU Mandate 436• Regulatory
• ETSI FM – spectrum sharing/power outputs• ICNIRP etc – medical issues
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo

RFID standards – the air interface
•• ISO IEC JTC1 SC31
• 18000-2 LF (125-134 KHz), passive
• 18000-3 HF: (13.56 MHZ) 3 modes, passive, EPCg
• 18000-4 SHF : (2.45 GHz) passive and active
• 18000-6 UHF: (850-960 MHz) passive EPCg
• 18000-7 UHF: (433 MHZ) active; RTLS
• ISO stack model

RFID Standards - Data
• Data structure, compaction, addressing
• ISO 15691, ISO 15692, ISO 24753, ISO 15459
• Very technical: largely transparent to user
• Licence plate, item attendant data e.g. sensors
• EPC 96 bit structure: EPCG, GS1, but also……?
• EPC does not (necessarily) mean EPCGlobal!

Risk Management and Sensors“ I keep six honest serving-men(They taught me all I knew);Their names are What and Why and WhenAnd How and Where and Who”
Kipling, The Elephant’s Child, 1902
“ If only I knew what is where and when, then my boss would not ask How the (bleep) and Why the (bleep) and especially WHO the (bleep) caused that foul-up”
- Not technology: it is about DATA! And Information….
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo

Data – The Payload!
• Licence Plate: basic minimum• use as lookup to secure managed database
• Item Attendant data • removes worry about connectivity• increases risk of data loss, corruption
• Attribute data• User data as tag memory increases: ATA• remember air interface speed issue!• SENSORS – temperature, humidity, shock

RFID and Data
•• Data Carrier, Data Carried
• The data carrier is (con)temporary, and is a cost
• The data carried is timeless, and is the benefit
• It is very expensive to change data structures within an organisation
• Tag-Interrogator link - data
• Interrogator-World link: data transforms to information
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo
©Scanology 2010
RFID Data Access
• Data Access• Open systems allow data to be shared
• But you have to be able to find it • and have a common understanding
• To be EPCGlobal, or not to be EPCGlobal• GS1 Visibility program
• Internet of Things• Governance, control• Trust, resilience
• IPv6, Super EDI: a prediction and a warning
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo

RFID and Society
• Data has to be secure• Data has to be trusted• Privacy of users, both consumer and industrial, must be protected.
- This must be achieved if RFID is to realise its potential• to improve economic competitiveness• to achieve societal objectives
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo
©Scanology 2010
RFID and Society
• PIA• Privacy Impact Assessment• A form of risk assessment• Template based to assist SME compliance• Useful check list (but still scary red tape)• Considers intent of system• Key component of EU RFID Mandate work
• Logos and Signage
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo

RFID Data Privacy
• Big issue in Europe:• EU consultation process• Silent unauthorised transaction fear• The misunderstanding Active vs. Actief
• The Reality• RFID not fundamentally different from barcode• no need for new legislation
10th May 2010RFID RNet Workshop Oslo
©Scanology 2010
RFID Data Security
• cg• Another big issue for the lobbyists• Related to Privacy but different• Introduces authenticity aspect: item ID theft• Needs to be looked at on a system-wide basis: the weakest link determines the overall security• Security should be a layered approach
• if the number of bits in the encryption scheme exceeds the number of beans in the tin, just maybe you have gone a little overboard on securoty

RFID Standards – who is doing what…. Global
• ISO (IEC JTC1) SC31• Basic building blocks
• RFID air interfaces• Conformance and performance methods• Data structures and security• Reader API?• Works with IEEE on sensors
• EPCGlobal (GS1)• uses ISO 18000-6C for UHF• will probably use ISO 18000-3M3 for HF
• And many others!

BP“ Imagine being able to quickly and accurately determine the physical location of a BP asset (physical/human) anywhere on theplanet, and combining this locational information with corporateinformation to visualise and facilitate faster and better decision taking”
“The main source of innovation is outside the energy sector”
• Can’t find – buy more, rent more = cost• Grass grows over the asset you own
- note current emphasis on WHERE - RTLS

RFID standards – the future
•• Industry standard application standards
• Data carrier will evolve/change just as barcode has done but more so and faster
• RFID will have a supporting role, not a star role
• Not RFID+ , but +RFID?
• RFID Sensor standards pointing the way
• ISO and IEEE 1451.7

Please remember!
RFID is not the silver bullet – it is an enabler within a bigger system
- Choose it on the basis of fitness for purpose, not because it is the latest fashion!!

RFID standards: conclusion•• There are many standards but they form part of a big system
• Understand the difference between data carrier and data content standards
• Be prepared for item identity theft and misrepresentation
• Observe the principle of consent in any RFID application
• Don’t be put off by the privacy issue!
- And get ready for the Internet of Things
