Can RFID help prevent counterfeiting?
RFID tags can help combat counterfeiting by providing a clearer and more detailed picture of the flow of goods. RFID tags, however, are themselves subject to cloning. This is particularly true of inexpensive RFID tags. Attaching an RFID tag to a valuable object may help establish its whereabouts in a supply chain, but may not serve as a reliable mark of authenticity.
