RFID security for hospitals
RFID isn’t as secure as it needs to be on its own. Due to many of the implementations out there, there is a perception that people will read information without being traced, and cause identity theft. Android cell phones have been modified to steal contactless credit card information using the NFCProxy application. It’s also possible to clone RFID tokens for physical or computer system access. Because of these findings, there’s a need to build security into the ecosystem supporting it, and guard against several key types of attacks. There are two types of attacks that can cause major issues for a health enterprise, those being the unauthorized interception of patient information, and attacks on the supply chain and associated systems.
