A utilização do dispositivo de identificação por radio frequência (RFID) como ferramenta da computação ubíqua

Abstract

The present study objective is to present RFID device as a tool of Ubiquous Computing by explaining shortly the impacts which may affect human privacy unless there is an appropriate legislation. The uses of implantable RFID devices in human beings have useful purposes to society such as storage of medical history and tracking kidnapped people. This study was based on literature review and emphasizes that personal information exposition is a worrying issue and must be analyzed. However, there are no specific privacy laws related to the use of RFID device, allowing judges to analyze facts based on a specific case and not based on law.
