Abstract
This chapter illustrates how Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is vulnerable to attack. It discusses case study of Johns Hopkins versus SpeedPass. The SpeedPass vulnerabilities show that while Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a convenient technology, the trade off from the small size and the convenience, is processing power and security. It is noted that if the engineers had selected and implemented a stronger challenge or response system, the cost of the devices would have gone up and the SpeedPass system may not have been as successful. ExxonMobil must decide how best to serve the needs of the security of their customers, and shore up the security of the SpeedPass. Moreover, it is up to the individual company to acknowledge that some products are not secure forever. Therefore, the program should evolve, and the anticipated work and cost should be factored in from the beginning. Such prudent planning can help even if the product fails.
