Information security of RFID tags

Privacy and Security Aspects of RFID Tags

RFID has recently received a lot of attention as an augmentation technology in manufacturing, SCM and retail inventory control. However, widespread deployment of RFID tags may create new threats to security and privacy of individuals and organizations. This paper gives an overview of all types of RFID privacy and security problems and its countermeasures.

Usability of Display-Equipped RFID Tags for Security Purposes

The recent emergence of RFID tags capable of performing public key operations has enabled a number of new applications in commerce (e.g., RFIDenabled credit cards) and security (e.g., ePassports and access-control badges). While the use of public key cryptography in RFID tags mitigates many difficult security issues, certain important usability-related issues remain, particularly when RFID tags...

Strengthen RFID Tags Security Using New Data Structure

RFID was first proposed as a technology for the automatic identification of objects. However, some recent RFID devices can provide additional objects information and can be used for other applications. Security requirement is essential in most of the applications. An essential research challenge is to provide efficient protection for RFID systems, in particular against tag cloning and informati...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags & Their Implication to Container Security

The Study of RFID Authentication Protocols and Security of Some Popular RFID Tags

A radio frequency identification (RFID) system consists of three components: radio frequency (RF) tags (or transponders), RF readers (or transceivers), and a backend server. Tag readers inquire tags of their contents by broadcasting an RF signal, without physical contact, at a rate of several hundred tags per second and from a range of several meters. The advancements of Silicon manufacturing a...
