System and method for providing secure identification solutions
The present invention provides a method and system for verifying and tracking identification information. In an embodiment of the invention, a system for delivering security solutions is provided that includes at least one of the following: a radio frequency (RF) identification device, an identification mechanism (e.g., a card, sticker), and an RF reader.
1. A system of verifying registration information of a vehicle, the system including:
a database configured to store vehicle identification information;
a radio frequency device, the radio frequency device including a radio frequency antenna and a chip, the chip comprising:
a memory, the memory configured to store a security key and vehicle identification information, and
a processor coupled with the memory the processor configured to provide access to the memory based on a security key, the processor further configured to:
receive a signal via the radio frequency antenna, the signal comprising a request to access the memory and a security key,
compare the security key included in the received message with the security key stored in the memory,
provide the vehicle information in response to the access request when the security keys match; and
a reader coupled with the database, the reader configured to:
generate the access request, insert the security key into the generated request, and transmit the access request to the radio frequency device,
receive the vehicle information from the radio frequency device,
cause the vehicle information to be compared to the vehicle information stored in the database, and
verify the information related to the vehicle based on the comparison.
2. A system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive a first signal via the radio frequency antenna;
receive a second signal via the radio frequency antenna that includes a security key;
compare the security key included in the received message with the security key stored in the memory,
provide the vehicle information in response to the access request when the security keys match.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide the security key in response to the first signal.
4. The RFID transponder of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a third signal via the radio frequency antenna that includes a second security key, grant access to the memory based on the second security key, and send further memory contents in response to the third signal.
5. The RFID transponder of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to provide the second security key in response to a received signal.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the reader is further configured to:
send a first signal to a radio frequency device;
send a second signal to the radio frequency device that includes a security key;
receive at least the vehicle information included in the memory in response to the second communication and as a result of validation of the security key, and
transmit the vehicle information to a central server.
7. The RFID reader of claim 6 , wherein the security key is based on information received from the radio frequency device.
8. The RFID reader of claim 6 , wherein the reader is further configured to receive a response from the radio frequency device in response to the first signal and that includes the security key.
9. The RFID reader of claim 6 , wherein the reader is further configured to send a third signal to the radio frequency device that includes a second security key for validation by the radio frequency device and receive further memory contents in response to the third signal and as a result of validation of the second security key.
10. The RFID reader of claim 9 , wherein the second security key is based on information received from the radio frequency device.
11. The RFID reader of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a second response from the radio frequency device that includes the second security key.
