VeriChip
''VeriChip'' (now re-branding ''PositiveID'') was the only Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved human-implantable microchip. It was marketed by PositiveID, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, and it received United States FDA approval in 2004. Its manufacture and marketing were discontinued in 2010. About twice the length of a dime, the device is typically implanted between the shoulder and elbow area of an individual’s right arm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Verichip Consumer FAQ ) 〕 Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip responds with a unique 16 digit number which could be then linked with information about the user held on a database for identity verification, medical records access and other uses. The insertion procedure is performed under local anesthetic in a physician's office. As an implanted device used for identification by a third party, it had generated controversy and debate. VeriChip's merger in 2010 officially changed their name to "PositiveID."
Destron Fearing, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, initially developed the technology for the VeriChip.〔Smith, Richard M. (“Tough Sell Ahead for the VeriChip Implant ID System.” ), ''Computer Bytes Man''. 27 Dec. 2001. 16 Oct. 2007〕
==Privacy concerns==
Certain privacy advocates have raised concerns regarding potential abuse of the VeriChip, with some warning that adoption by governments as a compulsory identification program could lead to erosion of civil liberties. In addition, it has been shown that the VeriChip's lack of security features made it susceptible to cloning, which could present a risk of identity theft. At the same time if these security features were to be increased the chips could begin to play a major role in Identity Theft protection. There has been three states so far in the United States of America that have passed anti-chipping legislation, protecting against mandated implantation. These states are California, Wisconsin, and North Dakota.
