An Overview of the RFID Experiment for IETF 76 in Hiroshima.
------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the details are still being worked out, but here is a summary:

Basics
------

* Each attendee will be issued an RFID card at the registration desk. 
  The information stored on the card is ONLY a number, no personal 
  data is stored on the card. (Note: the attendee can opt out at any
  time, including not collecting the card, see below).

Note that removing your name from the database doesn't remove the
ability of someone to track you via the tag.


* The "information" (number) on the card is not encrypted and could be 
  read by any RFID reader, but again, it's only a number.

How are the numbers assigned?


* The number is "linked" to a back-end database through the readers 
  provided at the meeting.

* The database will contain only the following information from the
  registration data:

First Name, Last Name, Affiliation (if present), and ISO-3166 Code

* Each attendee will also be issued a username and password. This will
  give him/her access to the back-end database (via a web interface)
  where the user can:

Does the Web UI make sure to hide the number->attendee mapping?
