Peter Neumann, a computer scientist at SRI International, said that it shouldn't surprise him that a system that was designed to be manufactured as cheaply as possible was designed with no security constraints whatsoever. Mr. Neumann is the co-author of an article to be published in the May issue of the Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery on the risks of RFID systems. He cited inadequate identification for users, the potential for counterfeiting or disabling tags, and the problem of weak encryption in a passport-tracking system being developed in the United States.
