Abstract

See full text

A personnel identity protection mechanism and method is provided which utilizes a pseudo-name that is used in conjunction with RFID or RFID-like tags. By correlating the location of the tag wearer to equipment or professionals attending to the tag wear, identity and/or private information relating to the tag wearer can be controlled on a need-to-know basis. Concomitantly, access to the tag wearer's identity and/or private information by attending professionals, wearing a non-pseudo-name RFID or RFID-like tag, can be automatically enabled or filtered by correlating the non-pseudo-name bearing tags' proximity to the accessing system. By use of such a pseudo-name having restricted access capabilities with a RFID or RFID-like tag system, patients or institutionalized persons can be assured of a higher degree of security with respect to their private or medical information.
