Integrating RFID and Security Devices for an Innovative System to Manage Classified Documents

This paper presents an innovative RFID solution to manage sensitive document archives. The system aims at: i) automatically tracing all document accesses at level of each page (who read the document and when); ii) knowing at any time where a document is; iii) providing periodical archive inventory; and iv) automatically signaling anomalies detected in the archive. The system represents an important tool for national/international security, as it allows a quick document recovery in case of emergencies. Moreover, with the proposed system the institution in charge of sensitive document archives can demonstrate the secure management of the entrusted material. This paper describes how the system has been implemented and reports tests performed in laboratory by simulating different scenarios, showing that the solution allows a reliable management of sensitive documents.
