System and method for recording temperature on an RFID tag. A first RFID tag is attached to a container. The first RFID tag includes a temperature sensor. The container contains a multiplicity of packages. A multiplicity of second RFID tags are attached to the multiplicity of packages, respectively. The first RFID tag transmits temperature information to the multiplicity of second RFID tags. In response, the multiplicity of second RFID tags record the temperature information. Consequently, there is no need for expensive temperature sensors on the multiplicity of RFID tags on the packages. According to features of the present invention, the first RFID tag is an active RFID tag, and the multiplicity of second RFID tags are passive RFID tags. The first RFID tag also transmits other information to the multiplicity of second RFID tags to enable the second RFID tags to authenticate the temperature information. Other types of environmental sensors such as a humidity sensor or vibration sensor can substitute for the temperature sensor.

The invention claimed is: 1. An assembly for recording temperature on an RFID tag, said assembly comprising: a container with a first RFID tag attached to said container, said first RFID tag including a temperature sensor, said container containing a multiplicity of packages, a multiplicity of second RFID tags attached to said multiplicity of packages, respectively; and means within said first RFID tag for transmitting temperature information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags, and means, responsive to said transmission, within said multiplicity of second RFID tags for recording said temperature information, wherein said means within said first RFID tag also transmits other information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags to enable said multiplicity of second RFID tags to authenticate said temperature information. 2. An assembly for recording temperature on an RFID tag, said assembly comprising: a container with a first RFID tag attached to said container, said first RFID tag including a temperature sensor, said container containing a multiplicity of packages, a multiplicity of second RFID tags attached to said multiplicity of packages, respectively; means within said first RFID tag for transmitting temperature information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags, and means, responsive to said transmission, within said multiplicity of second RFID tags for recording said temperature information; means for storing in said multiplicity of second RFID tags an identity of said first RFID tag; said means within said first RFID tag also transmitting to said multiplicity of second RFID tags said identity of said first RFID tag; said multiplicity of second RFID tags including means for comparing the identity transmitted by said first RFID tag to said identity of said first RFID tag stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags; and if the identity transmitted by said first RFID tag matches said identity of said first RFID tag stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags, said multiplicity of second RFID tags recording said temperature information, and if the identity transmitted by said first RFID tag does not match said identity of said first RFID tag stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags, said multiplicity of second RFID tags not recording said temperature information. 3. A method of recording an environmental condition on an RFID tag, said method comprising: providing a container with a first RFID tag attached to said container, said first RFID tag including an environmental condition sensor, said container containing a multiplicity of packages, a multiplicity of second RFID tags attached to said multiplicity of packages, respectively; said first RFID tag transmitting environmental information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags, and in response, said multiplicity of second RFID tags recording said environmental information; and said first RFID tag also transmitting other information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags to enable said multiplicity of second RFID tags to authenticate said environmental information. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said environmental condition is temperature, said environmental condition sensor is a temperature sensor and said environmental information is temperature information. 5. A method of recording an environmental condition on an RFID tag, said method comprising: providing a container with a first RFID tag attached to said container, said first RFID tag including an environmental condition sensor, said container containing a multiplicity of packages, a multiplicity of second RFID tags attached to said multiplicity of packages, respectively; said first RFID tag transmitting environmental information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags, and in response, said multiplicity of second RFID tags recording said environmental information; storing a shared secret in said first RFID tag and said multiplicity of second RFID tags; said first RFID tag also transmitting to said multiplicity of second RFID tags a transmitted hash value based on said shared secret stored in said first RFID tag and said environmental information which is transmitted; said multiplicity of second RFID tags independently computing a hash value based on said shared secret stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags and said environmental information received from said first RFID tag, and if the transmitted hash value matches said independently computed hash value, said multiplicity of second RFID tags recording said environmental information, and if the transmitted hash value does not match said independently computed hash value, said multiplicity of second RFID tags not recording said environmental information. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said environmental condition is temperature, said environmental condition sensor is a temperature sensor and said environmental information is temperature information. 7. A method of recording an environmental condition on an RFID tag, said method comprising: providing a container with a first RFID tag attached to said container, said first RFID tag including an environmental condition sensor, said container containing a multiplicity of packages, a multiplicity of second RFID tags attached to said multiplicity of packages, respectively; said first RFID tag transmitting environmental information to said multiplicity of second RFID tags, and in response, said multiplicity of second RFID tags recording said environmental information; storing in said multiplicity of second RFID tags an identity of said first RFID tag; said first RFID tag also transmitting to said multiplicity of second RFID tags said identity of said first RFID tag; said multiplicity of second RFID tags comparing the identity transmitted by said first RFID tag to said identity of said first RFID tag stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags; and if the identity transmitted by said first RFID tag matches said identity of said first RFID tag stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags, said multiplicity of second RFID tags recording said environmental information, and if the identity transmitted by said first RFID tag does not match said identity of said first RFID tag stored in said multiplicity of second RFID tags, said multiplicity of second RFID tags not recording said environmental information. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein said environmental condition is temperature, said environmental condition sensor is a temperature sensor and said environmental information is temperature information.
