RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
tags that are small wireless devices that provide unique identifiers which can be read by remote sensors.
Near-Field Communications (NFC)
is a specific kind of RFID technology, that is used for short-range wireless interactions and extends the capabilities of contactless technologies such as RFID to allow two-way initiation of communications.
Wimax (wireless interoperability for microwave access – standard implementation of IEEE 802.16 wireless networks):
alternative to other means of networking such as Ethernet or cable and minimal disruptive influence in terms of deploying
identity-based applications.
Zigbee
refers to a set of specifications for wireless sensor networks, an application of which could be a network of sensors used for home automation which uses sensors to control switches on household devices.
Biometric
Technologies that use biometric data to identify and
authenticate individuals, often for local authentication of a
person.
Profiling
is the practice of analysing a set of data about an individual in order to identify that individual as fitting into a particular category.
