Light authenticated RFID transponder

摘要

The present invention is directed toward Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices (116) and related technologies. Specifically, an RFID device (116) is provided that includes a photon receiver (328). Photon signals (128) are received at the photon receiver (328) and analyzed before the RFID device begins interacting in Radio Frequency (RF) communications, thereby disclosing data stored on the RFID device to other devices (112).
The RFID transponder (116) is enabled by light emitted by a reading device (112) conforming the authenticity of the reading device (112)
