9:00–10:15
Session 1: Brief History and Overview of RFID Technology—Where We Stand
Moderator: Bill Schilit (Scribe: Gaetano Borriello)
What are the technical realities of RFID? (What is its current functionality? What is it useful/not useful for?)
What are adjacent technologies and their complementary/competing roles (e.g., contactless smart cards and active tags)?
What is the spectrum of RFID and RFID-related technologies?

How might the use and distribution of RFID technology affect personal privacy and anonymity?
How will the interests and rights of consumers be handled?
What are possible government and law enforcement uses of RFID transaction data?
What effects will worldwide standards and other bodies have on RFID privacy issues?
What are the potential social and cultural implications of significant RFID use?
What are the data policy implications of RFID technologies (e.g., control, access, and ownership of RFID-generated data, etc.)?
