A library is considering using HF RFID tags for book checkout. They need a system that can read multiple books on a cart simultaneously and does not require line-of-sight. Which standard and frequency combination best meets these needs?

ISO 18000-2 tags operating at 125 kHz.

ISO 14443 tags operating at 13.56 MHz.

EPC Gen2 tags operating at 915 MHz.

ISO 15693 tags operating at 13.56 MHz.

A corporate campus uses HF RFID badges for employee entry. The security team is concerned about both relay attacks and cloning. They have a budget to upgrade one component of the system. Which upgrade would provide the most comprehensive protection against both threats?

Replace both the badges and the readers with a system that supports AES-128 and distance bounding

Replace the badges with ones that use AES-128 encryption and mutual authentication

Replace the readers with ones that support distance bounding protocols

Add a PIN pad to each reader so users must enter a PIN after presenting their badge
