Welcome

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies provide security, improve inventory management and speed up everyday transactions at the grocery store, in airports and on the nation’s highways. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) E-Commerce Architecture Program (ECAP) has created this Web site as a public service to provide a balanced source of information about the use of RFID and potential privacy implications.

Follow the What, Why, Who, How, and Where roadmap above to learn more about RFID technology, how it works, who is using it and why it is an important and beneficial technology.
