RFID Border Security Markets RFID and Biometric Technologies Secure Identification Documents and Enhance Homeland Security Homeland security is a major priority for countries and governments worldwide. Branches of government concerned with security have been the subject of increased focus over the past four years, fueled mainly by terrorist attacks. Most countries have plans to increase security at their borders as well as internally. This study evaluates homeland security initiatives worldwide that involve RFID and biometric technologies. It examines many security applications, including e-passports, contactless visas, container tracking and internal security tools such as national identification cards. Privacy concerns, the viability of technologies, and international legislation are discussed. The report also presents a summary of the major participants in the market. Background information on RFID and biometric technologies is included for reference. Forecasts provide data by region and application for the period 2003-2009. What Does This Report Answer? Why are governments using RFID and biometrics for homeland security? When will countries begin adopting these systems? What legislation has been passed to regulate these markets? Will these new technologies infringe on privacy rights? How do RFID and biometrics work together? Who are the major players in this market? Who Needs This Report?
