Abstract
Abstract With the development of information science and technology, more new devices and technology have been continuously introduced. Radio Frequency Identification System is indeed seen as the gateway to a new phase of the information society, often referred to as the internet of things in which the internet does not link computers and communications terminals, but potentially any of our daily surrounding objects. RFID is not only an integral part of our life but also brings a lot of benefits, such as food traceability, healthcare, anti-counterfeiting of drugs, shorter queues in supermarkets, more accurate and reliable handling of luggage at airports, automated payment, patents suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. However, RFID opens a Pandora’s Box of information privacy and security issues. At the intersection of information privacy and technology, the conflict has arisen. In theory, the establishment of regulation corresponds to the social development in order to resolve the existing conflict. Generally speaking, there seems to be conflict and difference between the regulation of information privacy and technology，and this opinion is denied. This article attempts to break the fatalism and firmly suggests there must a balance between the regulation of information privacy and technology. The main goal of this article is to define the best mode of regulations about RFID. At first, it will introduce the basic principles and the applications of RFID briefly, then analysis of the influences and doubts that RFID brings. Secondly, it focuses on the relevant regulations and concerns in Europe and America to find some references and clues. Thirdly, it concentrates on the influence on privacy regulations of RFID application by legal aspects and the disadvantages of current privacy regulations. Additionally, do current privacy regulations copy with the influence﹖Finally, it will find out the probability of RFID regulated types and conclusions.
