Despite its long history, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is considered as one of the most promising wireless technology in future ubiquitous computing environments. However, it’s a very different form of technology than today’s other wireless dominants such as cellular, satellite, and wireless computer networks. In short, RFID is a contactless, automatic, ultra-light, super-cheap, and ex...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a group of technologies used to identify or track electronic devices (RFID tags or transponders), typically applied to or incorporated into products, animals, or even persons, using radio waves or electromagnetic fields. RFID systems have various applications, with the most prevalent one being enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency ...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are gaining enormous interests at industry due to their vast applications such as supply chain, access control, inventory, transport, health care and home appliances. Although tag identification is the primary security goal of an RFID system, privacy issue is equally, even more, important concern in RFID system because of pervasiveness of RFID tags....

RFID (radio frequency identification) is a key technology supporting emerging solutions for the automation of the identification service and the mass product management. A key issue is to reduce the average time taken to identifying tags, which is called average identification time. Focusing on the issue, the paper proposes an efficient multicast protocol which is applied to the anti-collision ...

This paper features the results of an empirical online survey focusing on radio frequency identification initiatives and the revalidation of these results using brief case studies on Charles Voegele and Vail Resorts. The empirical study investigates the ability of information technology (IT) infrastructure integration and supply chain process integration to moderate the relationships between th...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag privacy is an important issue to RFID security. To date, there have been several attempts to achieve the wide-strong privacy by using zero-knowledge protocols. In this paper, we launch an attack on the recent zero-knowledge based identification protocol for RFID, which was claimed to capture wide-strong privacy, and show that this protocol is flawed. Su...

Embedding a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag into individual items enables the unique identification of such items over the wireless medium, without the need for a line-of-sight path. One of the main challenges for the successful commercialization of the RFID technology is the efficient, yet private, identification of low-cost tags in the presence of adversaries attempting to illegally...

In the last decade, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become popular in so many fields from military to industry applications. RFID tags have been embedded into many various products especially in logistics sector. A tag stores individual information of its attached object and an RFID reader communicates with the tag in radio frequencies to identify the object. This object to be monitor...

As a vital and integrated part of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) system, RFID antennas have been received much attention over years, and their design is very urgent and significant. In fact, the development of RFID antenna is of theoretical significance and practical value for the RFID system. In this chapter, the RFID technology is briefly introduced, and the operating principle of ...
