RFID Journal - Tag Encryption for Libraries

RFID Journal - Tag Encryption for Libraries: "To protect patrons' privacy, a new system encrypts data stored on a book's RFID tag.

Library systems specialists Library Automation Technologies (LAT) has developed an encryption system for RFID communications. Although the encryption system is designed to be used for its RFID-enabled FlashScan self-checkout, which library patrons use to take out tagged books without the assistance of library staff, the company believes it could go on to be used in host of other RFID implementations."
