Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology one of the most promising technologies in the field of ubiquitous computing. Indeed, RFID technology may well replace barcode technology. Although it offers many advantages over other identification systems, there are also associated security risks that are not easy to be addressed. When designing a real lightweight authentication protocol for lo...

High Frequency (HF) passive Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is currently a widely adopted technology for mobile HCI with physical objects. Prototypes, pilot projects and industrial systems have been developed in a number of areas mostly following an approach in which RFID tags are either attached to mobile real world entities or carried by mobile users, whilst RFID readers are static and ...

RFID technology has attracted the attention of several businesses and experts worldwide. Given the potential benefits of RFID such as efficient inventory, streamlined supply chain, reduced stock outs and cost reductions, several retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target have decided to adopt RFID technologies. They have also mandated their suppliers to adopt and use RFID technologies. However, anec...

RFID systems allow fast and automatic identification of RFID tags through a wireless channel. Information on product items like name, model, purpose, expiration date, etc., can be easily stored and retrieved from RFID tags attached to items. That is why, in the near future, RFID tags can be an active part of our everyday life when interacting with items around us. Frequently, such items may cha...

Motivated by the need to understand the underlying antecedents of RFID adoption in retail, this study proposes and tests a framework predicting RFID adoption intent. Based on the TOE (technology-organizationenvironment) framework, this research develops and validates the research framework to examine the influence of twelve contextual factors under four broad categories (technological, organiza...

This paper discusses the relevance and potential impact of both RFID and reverse engineering of RFID technology, followed by a discussion of common protocols and internals of RFID technology. The focus of the paper is on providing an overview of the different approaches to reverse engineering RFID technology and possible countermeasures that could limit the potential of such reverse engineering...

After exploring industrial and consumer applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and reviewing the state-of-theart and development in RFID technology, the paper put forward RFID smart parts. A currently operative smart part based manufacturing system is described which uses RFID as the key technology. The role of them in the emerging Wireless Internet Manufacturing field is highlig...

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...

APPLICATIONS OF AUTOIDENTIfication technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) in everyday life include security access cards, electronic toll collection, and antitheft clips in retail clothing. RFID applications in health care have received increasing attention because of the potentially positive effect on patient safety and also on tracking and tracing of medical equipment and ...
