Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that is becoming readily available. It is currently used to identify cats and dogs, as well as tracking inanimate objects throughout the world by using the Electronic Product Code (EPC) standard. Trials are currently underway that involve the implantation of RFID transponders in humans in various parts of the world. This paper discusses the possible concerns with wide spread use of RFID, on both inanimate and living things. It will identify and discuss several socio-technical aspects of RFID, including privacy and security.
