Recent emergence of RFID tags capable of performing public key operations motivates new RFID applications, including electronic travel documents, identification cards and payment instruments. In this context, public key certificates form the cornerstone of the overall system security. In this paper, we argue that one of the prominent challenges is how to handle revocation and expiration checkin...

Authentication has an important role in many RFID applications for providing security and privacy. In this paper we focus on investigating how RFID can be used in product authentication in supply chain applications and a review of existing approaches is provided. The different categories of RFID product authentication approaches are analyzed within the context of anticounterfeiting and fields w...

The number and extent of supply chain-related RFID applications far exceed those in the general manufacturing domain. We discuss possible reasons for this state. We review existing applications of RFID in manufacturing and discuss possible applications and related advantages and challenges.

This paper explores the applications and future commercial impacts of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Its objective is to summarize the ways in which organizations and academics are thinking about these technologies and to stimulate strategic thinking about their possible uses and implications. It first provides an overview of this technology and how it works. Then it explores...

Nowadays, the vital parts of the business programs are the data warehouses and the data mining techniques. Especially these are vital in the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) application which brings a revolution in business programs. Manufacturing, the logistics distribution and various stages of supply chains, retail store and quality management applications are involved in the RFID techn...

adio frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification (autoID) technology developed by the Auto-ID Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags and readers (Auto-ID Center, 2002; Doyle, 2004; EPC, 2004b; Finkenzeller, 2000; Shepard, 2005). With RFID technology, physical assets will have embedded...
