In a bid to tackle the problem of item counterfeiting, researchers at MIT have taken a significant step forward in developing a microscopic, cheap and secure cryptographic ID tag. This tiny tag, which uses terahertz waves and is notably smaller, less expensive, and safer than conventional radio frequency tags (RFIDs), was initially found to have…

A group of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a revolutionary anti-tampering ID tag. Notably smaller and significantly less expensive than traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, this evolution could revolutionize the way technology authenticates the legitimacy of a product. But how does it secure itself from the common issue of…

A team of MIT researchers has created a cryptographic ID tag that boasts several advantages over existing technologies - spurring hope it will revolutionize supply chain verification. The tag is several times smaller, much cheaper, and offers better security than the radio frequency identification (RFID) tags currently used for product verification. The new tag uses…

A team of researchers from MIT has developed an innovative antitampering cryptographic ID tag, which is smaller, cheaper, and more secure than traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Traditional RFIDs can be detached from a genuine item and reattached on counterfeit products, compromising the authenticity of the item. As a solution, the MIT team creates…
