A system, method and related software architecture are disclosed as a platform for developing and deploying RFID-enabled software applications. The platform is a framework between these applications and their connected physical RFID devices. The runtime version of this platform can be thought of as a logical RFID device. The platform allows RFID-enabled applications securely communicate with physical RFID devices to monitor their status and to access their tag data. The platform includes externalized APIs for accessing tag data, an event manager to alert applications of events coming from RFID devices and tags, data manager to filter and reconcile data returned from physical RFID readers before relaying them to applications, device manager to monitor the RFID device status for network management, and secured communication channels with data encryption. The deployed RFID-enabled applications can recognize user identification via the RFID tags then access data of selected RFID tags within a secured infrastructure.
