ABSTRACT
EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags are industry-standard
RFID devices poised to supplant optical barcodes in many
applications. They are prevalent in case and pallet track-
ing, and also percolating into individual consumer items and
border-crossing documents.
In this paper, we explore the systemic risks and challenges
created by increasingly common use of EPC for security ap-
plications. As a central case study, we examine the recently
issued United States Passport Card and Washington State
