RFID Applications and Security Review

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is widely used in several contexts, such as logistics, supply chains, asset tracking, and health, among others, therefore drawing the attention of many researchers. This paper presents a review most cited topics regarding RFID focused on applications, security, privacy. A total 62,685 records were downloaded from Web Science (WoS) Scopus core databases processed, reconciling datasets to remove duplicates, resulting 40,677 unique elements. Fundamental indicators extracted are presented, citation number, average growth rate, number documents per year. We top reviewed relevant using free Python tool, ScientoPy. The results discussed following sections: first Applications Section, whose subsections Internet Things (IoT), Supply Chain Management, Localization, Traceability, Logistics, Ubiquitous Computing, Healthcare, Access Control; second Security Privacy section, Authentication, Privacy, Ownership Transfer; finally, we present Discussion section. intends provide reader with global view current status trending different analyses perspectives depending motivations or background.
