Security and privacy of RFID systems have become very important issues along with their increasing applications. Recently, Jeon and Yoon proposed a new ultra-lightweight RFID authentication protocol(RAPLT) using merge and separation operations. Since their protocol uses very lightweight bitwise operations: XOR, merge, and separation operations, it will be suitable for the applications using low...

---RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) System Test Platform has attracted considerable attention in recent years because it has a great impact on many kinds of trade applications. However, there is dearth of available open frame test platform for RFID system. In this paper, we propose a new design and implementation of an open frame RFID test platform by thorough research which applies to alm...

This paper provides a state of the art on RFID technology in Supply chain management. It presents technical characteristics of existing RFID systems, a guideline for RFID deployment, and some applications in Supply chains. The paper summarizes the advantages of RFID technology for inventory control and introduces some challenging problems and perspectives dealing with, in particular, privacy an...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that has been in use since the 1940’s; however, practical business applications are more recently being developed. Dell Computers looked at their Xiamen, China manufacturing facility to see if RFID technology could result in improved efficiencies with quick payoff. The resulting scorecard showed areas within their facility that RFID technolo...

Nearly every industry is increasingly reliant on patent protections, and the future of entire industries and even countries can be analyzed and predicted based on patent development. Countries are responding to the rapid development of RFID applications by aggressively protecting pursuing and protecting RFID innovations. This study examines a number of patent indicators to predict and explain f...

Prior empirical research on the evaluation of RFID technology treats and assesses individual RFID applications as independent and in isolation from each other. However, the literature for investments evaluation of information technologies has recognised and utilised the significance of evaluating “interdependent” IS projects-that is IS projects with synergies. Moreover, previous studies when ap...

RFID technology finds immense applicability in domains utilizing identification as the base operation such as in access control, localization, etc. It may be designed to work well for either singular or a limited range of applications. However, the strict-coupling between applications and RFID equipment must be relaxed to scale up their usability. In order to do so, RFID middlewares are employe...

Educative environments such as public and private academic institutions are established with latest information communication technology (ICT) which includes RFID based devices. Innovation of academic infrastructure using latest ICT with maximum security is a future development in most of academic applications. Regarding the RFID based devices involved in educative environments; the level of se...

The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is expanding rapidly in numerous applications such as logistics, supply chain management, transportation, healthcare and aviation. Due to the variety of the current applications, typical RFID systems use application specific hardware and proprietary protocols. These systems generally have long design times, no tolerance to changes in a...

RFID is currently considered a hot topic in the IT arena. It is described as major enabling technology for automated contact less wireless data collection and as an enabler for the real-time enterprise, a future vision of Enterprise Information Systems. But little is known about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RIFD usage and areas of application or c...
