RFID
With the help of RFID, data can be read and stored contactlessly and without visual contact. This requires a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter (also called transponder) contains a code that is decoded by the receiver with the help of radio waves.
The use of RFID in production makes production processes more flexible and simpler. Automated recording supports low error rates and uncovers malfunctions within the production process. The additional use of RFID solutions in logistics simplifies chaos warehouses and offers direct implementation in merchandise management systems.

Requirements for use
Security
RFID tags can potentially be read without authorisation and without being noticed. Reading the transponders is also possible without mechanical access. Depending on the technology, ranges of a few metres can be achieved. It is the task of an appropriate security architecture to prevent this unauthorised reading. Due to the potentially very large distribution of RFID tags, attackers will have many opportunities in the future to read tags with suitable commercially available reading devices and, if necessary, to misuse the data thus obtained.
