RFID workshop in EU

I have been listening to the presentations, and I’m very pleased to hear meaningful discussions about the security and privacy issues. The constant barrage of mindless banter with the “technology evil” slant in the media and books was wearing extremely thin.

Also, the privacy issues being discussed in detail are related to RFID/sensor technology, but really uncover the overall issues to the current collection and management of private information (credit card companies, loyalty programs, etc), regardless of the technology used to capture and associate the information.

Although this is for the EU, speakers from other countries outside the EU, including the US, are participating.
