Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is emerging as an important tool with applications in a variety of fields. The major concern regarding RFID is the ubiquitous nature of its deployment that extends far beyond the capabilities of any of the tools available today for monitoring any item without an RFID tag. Many of the applications envisioned have a legitimate use. However, this te...

RFID technology emerged some time back and was not used that much because of lack of standardization and high costs. Latest technologies have brought costs down and standards are being developed. Today RFID is mostly used as a medium for numerous tasks including managing supply chains, tracking livestock, preventing counterfeiting, controlling building access, and supporting automated checkout....

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a distributed system of physical objects that requires the seamless integration of hardware (e.g., sensors, actuators, electronics) and network communications in order to collect and exchange data. IoT smart objects need to be somehow identified to determine the origin of the data and to automatically detect the elements around us. One of the best positioned tech...

introduction: applying information technology in healthcare system is one of the most important criteria of the world health organization for evaluating the quality of healthcare systems of different countries. moreover, applying this technology in different parts of health care system can create great potentials for improving the quality of healthcare services. in this regard, radio frequency ...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is emerging as an all pervasive ubiquitous technology which holds the promise of revolutionizing supply chain management applications. The volume of information generated by such system is enormous. Managing such high volume of data poses the challenges to applications as well as back-end databases. This data is redundant, needs to be consolidated and reduc...

Successful object identification is the primary objective of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Yet, a recent major study by Wal-Mart has shown that object detection probability can be as low as 66%. We propose the tagging of objects with multiple tags to address the fundamental issue of object detectability. We show that this strategy dramatically improves the efficacy of RFID s...

Recently, the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology attracts the world market attention as essential technology for ubiquitous environment. The RFID market has focused on transponders and reader development. But that concern has shifted to RFID software like as high-valued e-business applications, RFID middleware and related development tools. However, due to the high sensitivity of ...

With the increased awareness of the potential of RFID technology across a range of applications and as a new source of information emerge new points of attack. Due to cost issues most proposals focus on securing the RFID reader rather than the tag. This paper investigates some of the low-cost proposals for securing RFID tags from potential misuse through authentication and encryption.

In some applications, the bearer of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag might change, with corresponding changes required in the RFID system infrastructure. We survey the security requirements for RFID tag ownership transfer, and propose novel authentication protocols for tag ownership and authorisation transfer. The proposed protocols satisfy most of the requirements that we present, a...

RFID is one of the emerging technologies for a wide-range of applications, including supply chain and asset management, healthcare and intruder localization. However, the nature of an RFID data stream is noisy, redundant and unreliable, making it unsuitable for direct use in applications. In this paper, we propose specific RFID Online Filtering and Uncertainty Management techniques that operate...
