The first security application of RFID was the IFF, or Identify Friend or Foe transponders which allowed allied forces to determine if incoming airplanes were friendly or enemy aircraft. By the 1970’s, US government agencies experimented with methods of identifying objects and personnel in nuclear facilities.

The basic areas where RFID is used for security include:

  • Access Control
  • Ticket Collection
  • Emergency Response
  • Home Incarceration
  • Keyless Entry
  • Patient Monitoring
  • Patient Security
  • Theft Protection
  • Personnel Monitoring
  • Pet Identification
