Abstract
The invention discloses a method for managing the hardware device including the hardware device manufacture and management. Steps of the manufacture: Get the RFID internal serial number; Generate the hardware ID number according to the said RFID internal serial number; Generate the external sequence number of hardware according to the said RFID internal serial number; Manufacture the hardware device with RFID internal serial number, hardware ID number and external sequence number. Steps of management: Create the user database by the said RFID internal serial number; Manage the hardware device by indexing RFID internal serial number, hardware ID number or external sequence number. In the present invention, the RFID internal number is read directly by the RFID reader. The operation is simplified by ignoring the copy and online read. RFID is used for managing the hardware device; which improves the anti-counterfeit capability of the information security device as well.
