Zusammenfassung:A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader may be configured to endorse an RFID tag. The reader receives an identifier from the tag and challenges the tag with a challenge. After receiving a response from the tag, the reader sends a first message including at least the identifier, challenge, and response to an authenticating entity and sends a second message including at least the identifier to a certifying entity. The reader then receives a first reply from the authenticating entity and a second reply from the certifying entity. The second reply may include a certificate associated with the tag, or may identify some property of the tag or an item associated with the tag. In some embodiments, the reader may serve as the authenticating and/or certifying entity.
