Abstract
Over the years, computer security has been an art and science that deals with different
policy models, mechanisms that enforce these policies such as confidentiality, availability
and integrity, and how security goals can be achieved if there is violation of any of these
policies. However, recently, there has been growing interest in one-technology that
replaced the popular barcodes as identifiers on products. Moreover, this RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) technology is offering a wide range of possibilities to help
organization track their asset as well as people. With this approach, research have shown
that there is a growing concern from law defenders on how information gathered on this
RFID chips could trespass on personal privacy. This paper provides an analytical
framework for use by the university to decide whether to deploy a RFID based (ID) cards
to identify and/or store electronically the data of staff and student, describing the benefits
of RFID technology and its effectiveness as a security mechanism and alsostudying its
technological features, current applications, and future trends. This paper also focuses on
staff and student’s personal safety, and some of the important implication of RFID
technology, with respect to privacy. It is hoped that information from this study may be
useful in identifying the kind of data needed to be stored on the RFID chip to reduce
rogue access threat on staff and student’s privacy while complementing the university’s
management.
