Passive Human ICT Implants: Risks and Possible Solutions

Le résumé fourni par la source

Despite the advantages that the use of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology entails, privacy stemming from its mass deployment causes concern both in society and the academic community. Although non-implantable passive RFID devices in general remain more advanced than implantable, glass capsule types, both generally have fundamental technological limitations that mean they are susceptible to similar issues. Indeed, the security and privacy implications of RFID for a variety of applications have been well explored; however, the use of them inside the body serves to further aggravate some of the known issues. Whilst the numbers of people with such implanted devices are still small, the commercialisation of this technology means that they could become commonplace and so these concerns are paramount. In this chapter, these issues are described, and it is argued that controls and measures can be developed and engineered now in order to minimise such risks. In addition, the medical risks specific to implantation of these devices is explored in light of recent research. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
