RFID Ecosystem

The RFID Ecosystem is a test bed for experimenting with community-oriented ubiquitous computing services. The RFID infrastructure is deployed throughout the Paul Allen Center, consisting of 80 RFID readers and 300 fixed-location antennas.

I designed and implemented what we claim to be a socially-appropriate access control policy for the collected RFID data: Physical Access Control constrains the information a person can obtain from the database to that which they may plausibly have witnessed in their daily movements[1]. I worked most closely with Evan Welbourne, the lead graduate student on the project.

Play my hack of classic PacMan, PAC PacMan (yes, I had to...), which illustrates information disclosure under Physical Access Control.

History

I got involved in the RFID Ecosystem through a class project with Evan; we continued to develop PAC and I eventually it turned into my quals project. I'm no longer working on the project.
