Abstract
A system and method of loss prevention using a pair of ID tags is disclosed. The user or owner of the protected object can dynamically create a security perimeter by using key ID tag and object ID tag pair. An object ID tag is either embedded in or attached to a protected object. A key ID tag, which is in a handheld device, has protection to prevent unauthorized scan. The object ID tag information can only be obtained from key ID tag using preprogrammed algorithm. The area security system will be armed after reading and validating a key ID tag scanned by the user. If anyone takes protected object with object ID tag out of the area without proper key ID tag authentication, alarm will be triggered.
