Security is one of the major world wide concerns because of the terrorist attacks suffered in the last years. In fact, The European Commission has dedicated a Security specific programme within the 7th Framework Programme. New technologies bring about new capabilities and their use in conjunction with other technologies will provide us with brand new approaches to solve our actual security needs. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are part of a new technology which is currently being researched and the first commercial solutions have started to appear. The capabilities of WSN can be easily foreseen as well as the wide range of possibilities of integrating sensor devices and actuators. On the other hand, RFID technology is becoming more and more extended in different applications. This paper shows the integration of WSN and RFID technologies to provide an integrated physical and logical security solution. The best of both technologies are put together into a unique solution directly applicable in those organizations which require high level of security.
