Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are poised to dramatically increase their presence in business and consumer applications. While the technology is 50 years old, recent advances and standardization activities have opened new opportunities for RFID to improve commerce and everyday life.

Some of these same advances create a new potential for infringements of consumer privacy. The responsible development and deployment of RFID technology can enable its many benefits while mitigating or eliminating these difficulties.

Trustworthy Computing is a major commitment of Microsoft Corporation. Trustworthiness demands not only that technology providers create hardware and software that embody integrity and provide fundamental security, reliability and privacy protections, but that all of these elements be demonstrated to the public conclusively. In this whitepaper, Microsoft describes the key privacy issues around RFID use, and presents recommendations to address these issues.
