Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology for automated identification of objects and people. RFID systems have been gaining more popularity in areas especially in supply chain management and automated identification systems. However, there are many existing and potential problems in the RFID systems which could threat the technology’s future. To successfully adopt RFID technology i...

In this article, we compare the different types of batterypowered RFID tags that are available today and explore several emerging wireless standards that are candidates for active RFID tagging. We also present an active RFID platform we have developed and a supply chain application implemented on that platform. INTRODUCTION Passive (battery-less) RFID technology has been the primary candidate f...

RFID technology has been widely applied to various domains. However, the privacy concern embedded in RFID data becomes a major obstacle of its further application. In this paper, we report our recent achievement in developing a practical RFID data anonymization platform that supports both global and local suppressions to prevent RFID data from privacy linkage attacks without compromising the su...

1 Networked RFID in Industrial Control: Current and Future This paper introduces the notion of networked Radio Frequency Technology (RFID) and reviews the work of the Auto ID Center in providing a low cost, global networked RFID solution. The paper then examines the role of networked RFID in changing the nature of industrial control systems operations. In particular the notions of connectedness...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is expected to become an important and ubiquitous infrastructure technology. As RFID tags are affixed to everyday items, they may be used to support various useful services. However, widespread deployment of RFID tags may create new threats to user privacy, due to the powerful tracking capability of the tags. There are several important technical points whe...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices and related technologies have received a great deal of attention for their ability to perform noncontact object identification. Systems incorporating RFID have been evaluated from a variety of perspectives. The authors constructed a networked RFID system to support event management at NetWorld+Interop 2004 Tokyo, an event that received 150,000 visit...

These days, the concept of Smart Home or Ubiquitous Home Network System is becoming more popular. It is anticipated that Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Mobile RFID technologies would play a major role in such an environment. At the outset this paper describes some of the RFID-based applications that are applicable to smart home environment. We then identify the security threats and s...

BACKGROUND The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems in healthcare is increasing, and concerns for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) pose one of the biggest obstacles for widespread adoption. Numerous studies have demonstrated that RFID systems can interfere with medical devices; however, the majority of past studies relied on time-consuming and burdensome test schemes based on...

Purpose: Drawing from literature on innovation, strategy and culture the objective of this study is to explore the role of perceived potentials and perceived strategic importance on CIOs’ perspective on RFID technology in two different cultural settings. Methodology:Based on survey responses from463German and 157 Italian IT decisionmakerswe analyzed the data with PLS structural equation modelin...

When applying RFID in production, it needs to be integrated into the used IT systems. However, till today system designers cannot rely on a standard solution for integrating RFID technology in manufacturing software systems. Each manufacturer has to deal with the same challenges: No consolidated findings on how to integrate RFID into the IT infrastructure exist. The consequence is that each IT ...
