Abstract

This paper presents penetration attacks and abduction drills conducted in a healthcare facility relying on RFID security system to prevent infant abduction and patient wander. The objective is to provide a better understanding to the limitations and weaknesses existing in the current used technology that is applied in different hospitals, and to provide guidelines for healthcare facility administration to change their policies in a way that cover vulnerabilities that exist in the current RFID security systems.
