Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is susceptible to Man in the Middle (MIM) attacks because of its small size and low price. A MIM attack is an attack angle that takes advantage of the mutual trust of a third party, or the simultaneous impersonation of both sides of a two-way trust. MIM attacks are unknown parties in a communication, who relay information back and forth, giving the simultaneous appearance of being the other party. However, managing risk—security risks or any other risks—requires that one knows the threats and value of what one is getting into. Looking before leaping is an appropriate adage to follow for any IT project, and RFID is no exception. At its heart RFID has many benefits and features that dazzle some people who check out this technology. These people rush into a deployment, and when things backfire, they are left in the unenviable position of having to explain that their reliance on inappropriate decisions about what features to use and deploy caused things to go wrong.
