Microsoft to Invest in Cryptography
Wednesday, January 11, 2006
Microsoft Research announced Tuesday that it is setting up a group to do research in cryptography at its lab in Bangalore, India.
The research focus in cryptography will include cryptography methods for RFID devices, in which the limited computational resources will be the main challenge.
The research lab in Bangalore is one of six research labs run by Microsoft. The lab in Bangalore already does research in the areas of computing technologies for emerging markets, multilingual systems, geographical information systems (GIS), sensors and sensor network applications, and technology that will enable software developers and system integrators to develop and modify enterprise business applications at a higher abstraction level from writing code.

Indian Secretariat to Introduce RFID Vehicle Tracking
Tuesday, January 03, 2006
Increased security assurance is the main reason behind the plan to introduce RFID-based vehicle tracking at the Indian Secretariat.
All the vehicles entering the Indian Secretariat premises will have to carry RFID tags for identification and tighten the security at those premises. Starting with tagging four-wheelers, the new system will also apply to the two-wheelers after a few months according to the chief security officer B V Ram Reddy told The Times of India on Monday.
The RFID system is expected to transmit vehicle numbers and other data to the security wing more than 200 metres away from their position.

Has Pantaloon Retail concluded a successful RFID pilot?
Monday, August 22, 2005
Pantaloon Retail in India has started the implementation of RFID technology starting from its warehouse and eventually branch offices and retail outlets.
The detail description of the article is quite intriguing because many still consider RFID item-level tagging in retail as an unnecessary luxury, especially when the article claims that the time saved for item scanning is 80% in inward warehouse processing and 12% in outward compared to barcode scanning, plus additional 90% improvement of real-time visibility of items during all stages of supply chain.

Tagging Cow Business in India
Monday, August 15, 2005
Cow business is special in India, because cow is considered sacred among Hindus. It does not matter whether it is a stray cow or a cow owned by someone, a cow is protected by the law of India.
The growing problem of stray cows has given the New Delhi's authorities an idea to implement RFID technology, considered an appropriate technology for animal control, to identify stray cows.
By inserting $12 worth of RFID tags into the stray cows in the streets and providing a reward of $46 to anyone bringing the stray cows to the authorities, the authorities can later demand $233 from the owner of the stray cows.
