Overview

AARFID -HAWCC™ combats:

• Black Market Ticket Sales
• Employee Theft
• Replay attacks
• Ticket pass back
• Child abduction
• Unauthorized access
• Unauthentic product sales

By utilizing our revolutionary, proprietary HAWCC™ system, company owners thwart fraudulent efforts. Once criminals realize that your products are protected by AARFID -HAWCC™ they will move on to other less secure activities. The public will demand genuine HAWCC™ protected goods and services to ensure piece of mind when visiting your facilities.

How AARFID -HAWCC™ works:

HAWCC™ uses MD5, SHA1, 128-bit encryption techniques that are comparable to any used by the banking industry to keep financial transactions secure.

Process Overview

1. RFID transponders we use are assigned a 16 character, unique identifier (UID) by the manufacturer. This code is written to a write once, read many area of the RFID computer chip. Once written, this number can not be overwritten or duplicated, by rule of ISO standards 15693, 14443A and 14443B.
   
   
2. After transponders are converted into wristbands, cards, or other media, they are shipped to the end user. It is during the shipping process that media can be intercepted by rogue elements of society.
   
   
3. At point of sale, AARFID -HAWCC™ secures the RFID media. To accomplish this task, AARFID -HAWCC™ takes these steps:
   
   
   • HAWCC™ reads the UID of the media.
   • HAWCC™ adds a series of codes to the UID known only to HAWCC™, and writes the resulting string back to the user memory area of the media.
     
     
     
4. At access points, point of sale stations and other read points, HAWCC™ first checks to make sure that a valid string of data exists in the user memory portion of the media. If there is a valid string, HAWCC continues with step 5. If no string exists, HAWCC™ assumes the media is counterfeit and security lock down procedures begin.
   
   
5. Next, HAWCC™  compares the UID with the UID stored in the string written to the user memory. If it does not match, HAWCC™ assumes the media has been exposed to replay attack and security lockdown procedures begin. If the UID match, HAWCC™ continues with step 6.
   
   
6. After checking for replay attacks, HAWCC™ certifies that the media is not reported as lost or stolen. If reported as lost or stolen, security lock down procedures begin.
   
   
7. Finally, HAWCC™ checks a “message list”. If messages exist for the UID, HAWCC™ interacts with the messaging system to alert the guest or security personnel to any number of possible messages.
   
   
8. If all conditions are “normal” the guest is allowed to complete the transaction.

Scanning for all of these conditions is typically completed in less than 1 second. Scanning may take longer if network bandwidth or computer memory is insufficient.

Reconciliation

Reconciliation reports allow managers to compare media issued to recorded sales. Discrepancies are easily identified, making it obvious to cashiers that cheating simply won’t pay.

Security Lockdown Procedures

When fraudulent or stolen media is identified, HAWCC™ does the following:

• Prevents applications from completing. 
• Writes a transaction to a “Violations Table”
• Sends silent messages to computer monitors at specified locations
• Sends e-mails and text messages to designated personnel

Lost or stolen media or goods

Online Readers

When product is sold, guests are issued any of the following:

• Receipt
• Username and Password
• Other

In the unfortunate event that product is lost or stolen, guests simply report to designated administration stations. Staff quickly deactivates the lost or stolen product in the system. Once deactivated, HAWCC™ automatically and quietly scans for the lost or stolen media at all on-line read points.

In the mean time, after presenting security information, new media is easily created for the unfortunate guests.

Off-line Readers

When media or product is reported as lost or stolen, it is important to update readers that are not online as soon as possible. Examples of off-line readers include:

• Mobile readers where wireless connectivity is not available
• Stand-alone Kiosks

In cases where readers are off-line, it is important to get information about lost or stolen product loaded to the readers as quickly as possible.

So when product is reported as missing, HAWCC™ immediately sends text and e-mail messages to designated personnel. Personnel then can do any of the following:

1. Go to a HAWCC™ station to upload deactivation codes
2. Key deactivation codes directly into mobile device
3. Use an RFID card to upload deactivation codes
