What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising:receiving, at an RFID read device, RFID tag information from an RFID tag, wherein the RFID tag information comprises a tag identification code and an encrypted tag authentication code, and wherein the RFID tag information comprises encrypted data that is encrypted according to a tag security protocol associated with the RFID tag;decrypting, by the RFID read device, the encrypted tag authentication code using a decryption key to authenticate the RFID tag, wherein the decryption key is associated with the tag identification code, and wherein the RFID tag mutually authenticates the RFID reader; andvalidating, by the RFID read device, the encrypted data received from the RFID tag by communicating with a tag processing service (TPS), wherein the encrypted data is decrypted using the tag security protocol maintained by the TPS, and wherein the validating is in response to the RFID read device authenticating the RFID tag.
