RFID Anti-Counterfeiting for Retailing Systems

چکیده
Counterfeiting is one of the most serious problems in the consumer market. One promising approach for anti-counterfeiting is to attach a low-cost Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) tag to the product authentication. In this paper, we propose an RFID system for detecting counterfeiting products. This RFID system consists of the tag authentication protocol and the database correction protocol. We use the tag authentication protocol for authenticating tags without revealing their sensitive information. This protocol also allows the customer to freely inquire the tag. To prevent the widespread of the counterfeit products, we use the tag status information along with tag identity information. Meanwhile, the database correction protocol guarantees the correctness of the tag status. Our anti-counterfeiting system is the first work considering the seller who plays an important role in the consumer product supply chain. Finally, we show that anti-counterfeiting system is quite secure against counterfeiting and the tag authentication protocol is lightweight enough to be implemented in RFID-based applications.

EPC Class-1 Generation-2 UHF tags, one of Radio frequency identification or RFID tag types, is expected that most companies are planning to use it in the supply chain in the short term and in consumer packaging in the long term due to its inexpensive cost. Because of the very cost, however, its resources are extremely scarce and it is hard to have any valuable security algorithms in it. It caus...
متن کاملA Hierarchical Anti-Counterfeit Mechanism: Securing the Supply Chain Using RFIDs
Counterfeiting is a very serious threat to supply chain management systems. RFID systems are widely used to automate and speed up the process of remotely identifying products, however these systems are vulnerable to counterfeiting. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical anti-counterfeiting mechanism which uses a layered approach to identify dishonest middle parties involved in both counterfei...

Subsequently, a track-and-trace anti-counterfeiting system using RFID is proposed. The proposed system is aimed at relatively high-end consumer products, and it helps protect genuine products by maintaining the product pedigree and the supply chain integr...

As markets become more global and competition intensifies, firms are beginning to realize that competition is not exclusively a firm versus firm domain, but a supply chain against supply chain phenomenon (***a, 2008). Under these circumstances, an increasing strategic importance to any organization independent of size or of sector is to deliver information, goods and services in full, on time a...
متن کاملDistributed Path Authentication for Dynamic RFID-Enabled Supply Chains
In this paper, we propose a distributed path authentication solution for dynamic RFID-enabled supply chains to address the counterfeiting problem. Compared to existing general anti-counterfeiting solutions, our solution requires non sharing of item-level RFID information among supply chain parties, thus eliminating the requirement on high network bandwidth and fine-grained access control. Our s...
