چکیده

Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is a broad term that is used for classifying technologies that use radio waves to automatically recognize objects and people (Greene, 2005). This radical concept came into existence in 1940s (Landt, 2001), when it was first used in World War II by British aircrafts to identify friendly airplanes returning from their missions. RFD has the ability to track signals and store data, which helped its commercialisation through RFID tags -small silicon microchips, which may be as small as a half a millimetre square, attached to antennae and can be placed anywhere (Taghaboni-Dutta, Velthouse, 2006). RFID tags are able to store unique serial numbers and other ABSTRACT
