Smart&Secure: Insight Tag

Smart&Secure Insight is a pressure-sensitive RFID tag that combines a dedicated conductive ink tamper circuit with an RFID chip and antenna. More advanced than Smart&Secure Inform tags, Insight tags alert an RFID reading device that tampering has occurred while maintaining the tag’s RFID functionality. This enables ongoing retrieval of data stored on the tag.

The MIKOH Smart&Secure Insight tag is a pressure-sensitive RFID label incorporating a chip, antenna and dedicated tamper circuit manufactured from destructible conductive ink. Smart&Secure Insight’s tamper layer causes disruption to the tamper circuit on tampering or removal of the tag without affecting the chip or antenna. During a read operation, this disruption is sensed by the chip and the tampering is reported to the reader. This is done through a special multi-layer adhesive design. A proprietary adhesive chemistry and multi-layer manufacturing process result in reliable tamper indication even when sophisticated tamper methods are used, including:

• Temperature Extremes (e.g. Liquid Nitrogen Freezing, Heat Guns)
• Chemical Attack (e.g. Solvents, Corrosives)
• Mechanical Attack (e.g. Razor Blades, Knives)

MIKOH's highly-flexible Smart&Secure Insight platform is currently available at 13.56 MHz. UHF chip designs are currently on the roadmap for future introduction.
