摘要：	Over the last few years there has been a steady increase of international trade and of shipments arriving at US ports from countries where security practices are considered less reliable. This led to a parallel rise of the vulnerability of the supply chains and the ports in particular. As a possible way to reduce these vulnerabilities, the use of Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags in shipping containers has been suggested. RFID tags ideally can be used to identify and monitor individual containers without physically having to inspect them. However these tags themselves can possibly become security risks. In this research project we studied the potential vulnerabilities of such tags as they likely will be used in the near future in RFID systems at the Long Beach and Los Angeles ports. Based on the results of this investigation we make some recommendations on how to best protect the supply chains and the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles themselves.
