T-4: Anti-Counterfeiting: A Multi-Layered Approach to Detection and Prevention 9:00AM - 10:00AM (Wednesday, March 26, 2008)
General:
With 10% of worldwide pharmaceuticals counterfeit, this is a growing problem that only gets worse as criminal enterprises get more sophisticated. This session covers multi-faceted approach to tackling this problem. Many of the techniques taught here also help address gray market and diversion problems.
• The problems of counterfeiting and diversion • Multi-layered protection • Overt, Covert, Forensic approaches – e.g. Polychromatic markings, Pen or Light revealable Inks, Ingestible Authentication Markers, Nano-patterning, etc. • Field audit programs • RFID and ePedigree

T-6: What Do We Really Mean By Security for RFID -- And How Much Is Enough? 2:00PM - 3:00PM (Wednesday, March 26, 2008)
Many pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors are looking to RFID as a solution for protecting, authenticating and tracking their products. Critical concerns around security and privacy, including HIPAA compliance, are being raised with the growing push towards adoption of RFID technology. Many people think of securing the pharmaceutical supply chain as “encrypting” data when in fact many different security tools may be used in different combinations. The level of security that is appropriate for particular pharmaceutical applications such as anti-diversion, e-pedigree, track & trace and cold chain management will also vary and must be balanced against the apparent risks. This talk will cover the spectrum of functions that can provide security for RFID such as encryption, authentication and other data protection methods. It will also discuss how security functions can help provide privacy protection and how security and privacy differ. The latest developments in security solutions from the RFID industry will also be reviewed.

T-10: RFID on the Packaging Level - How to get the Chip on the Box! 2:00PM - 3:00PM (Thursday, March 27, 2008)
RFID is an emerging technology to be used in volume for the identification and tracking of goods. For contactless communication with pallets, boxes and individual items an RFID label is applied onto the goods. Due to an intended one-way use the cost target for a smart label currently is five US cents or less. To achieve this ambitious goal the development of novel manufacturing strategies for RFID products is of major importance. Several attempts are made to streamline the production process with the goal to create a smart label on the packaging level. The improvements in printing of conductive inks for antennae in combination with pre-packaged RFID chips (so called straps) open new opportunities to move from a relative costly slap-and-ship approach to an integrated smart label production process on the packaging level.
