A serial number is then written to the tag's memory. You could read the TID and serial number and make sure there was a correct match, in order to ensure the tag was not cloned.
Imagine true security badges, credit cards, and other IDs in use today for access or spending.

There is no question that new cards could be issued that could not be cloned. But, without issuing new cards, can the new software differentiate between a valid working card and a clone?
