Abstract
It is described a RFID device () comprising a data memory () and an electronic circuit arrangement () coupled thereto. The electronic circuit arrangement has a first and a second operational configuration, wherein by receiving a control command () the electronic circuit arrangement can be switched irreversibly from the first to the second configuration. The RFID device further comprises a communication interface () being coupled to the electronic circuit arrangement. In the first configuration the RFID device is adapted to communicate with a standard RFID reader () via the communication interface. In the second configuration the communication with the standard RFID reader is disabled and the RFID device is adapted to communicate with a readout-RFID device (). The RFID device may be equipped with a secondary communication interface that can be used to communicate with the RFID device in a privacy-preserving manner. After the RFID device has been disabled, the secondary interface can be used to access data in a secure manner.
