Abstract

It is possible to prevent an unauthorized read-out from both active tags and passive tags. Antenna emission is turned on and off by using a switch, or attenuated by using a resistor. A part of the antenna may be chipped. With these configurations, it is possible to lower the emission level of the antenna thus preventing an unauthorized read-out of important information from a remote reader.
