Preserving Privacy in RFID Deployment
نویسنده
چکیده
Radio Frequency Identification, RFID, is an item-tagging technology which interests suppliers and retailers. RFID has potential to revolutionise supply chain management but also some potentially distressing social implications. When used inappropriately, RFID is capable of reducing or eliminating customer anonymity, thereby damaging privacy and threatening civil liberties. I begin with an introduction to the technological background. Second, I explain pros and cons by means of some example scenarios and, third, outline how this technology may be introduced in a way that can preserve privacy.

PCB: Physically Changeable Bit for Preserving Privacy in Low-End RFID Tags
Consumer privacy is a major concern impeding the wide deployment of radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in consumer market. To tackle this privacy issue, a simple and effective approach is proposed in this paper via adding one bit called ”physically changeable bit” (PCB) in RFID tags. The PCB bit can and only can be altered ”physically”. It controls whether RFID tags respond to queries s...

In the coming pervasive society, Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) Tags will be affixed within every product and object including human. This technology is anticipated to be a major technology which will be utilized by several pervasive services where these tags will be used to identify various objects. However, the use of RFID tags may create new threats to the security and privacy of indiv...
متن کاملSecurity and privacy in RFID systems. (Sécurité et protection de la vie privée dans les systèmes RFID)
While RFID systems are one of the key enablers helping the prototype of pervasive computer applications, the deployment of RFID technologies also comes with new privacy and security concerns ranging from people tracking and industrial espionage to product cloning and denial of service. Cryptographic solutions to tackle these issues were in general challenged by the limited resources of RFID tag...
متن کاملA Scalable, Privacy-Preserving and Secure RFID Protocol
In this paper we propose a communication protocol for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems that is based on the tags responding only to authenticated readers, otherwise tags always maintain RF silence. The protocol is practical from a deployment point of view and it not only meets the formal definitions of strong privacy and untraceability, but also addresses most, of the concerns rais...
متن کاملPrivacy Models for RFID Authentication Protocols
Privacy is a major concern in RFID systems, especially with widespread deployment of wireless enabled interconnected personal devices. In this paper, we consider privacy issues in RFID systems where the authorized readers must be able to identify tags without an adversary being able to trace them, and provide a formal security model for privacy in RFID system. Under this model, we analyze the r...
