The RFID Guardian

The RFID Guardian is a mobile battery-powered device that offers personal
RFID security and privacy management for people. The RFID Guardian monitors
and regulates RFID usage, on the behalf of consumers. 

The RFID Guardian is meant for personal use; it manages the RFID tags within
physical proximity of a person (as opposed to managing RFID tags owned by
the person, that are left at home). The RFID Guardian is portable. It should
be PDA-sized, or better yet, could be integrated into a handheld computer or
cellphone. The RFID Guardian is also battery powered. The RFID Guardian also
performs 2-way RFID communications. It acts like an RFID reader, querying
tags and decoding the tag responses, and it can also emulate an RFID tag,
allowing it to perform direct in-band communications with other RFID
readers. 

The heart of the RFID Guardian is that it integrates four previously
separate security properties into a single device: 

*       Auditing 

*       Key management 

*       Access control 

*       Authentication

RFID Guardian Demonstration Video

To see the RFID Guardian in action, we have prepared a video. It is
available in three popular video formats and two resolutions. The low
resolution runs at 250 kbps and the high resolution runs at 1000 kbps.
