This paper summarizes the results of a study that explored the security implications of the use of “disruptive technologies” in various economic sectors. Robust evidence of the security challenges associated with deploying advanced technologies was gathered by bringing together internationally-renowned experts with firsthand experience involving major case studies. Policy recommendations in the...

In many countries, food safety crisis can negatively impact public welfare as well as political stability. In over the past tow years, three government agencies and major food companies in South Korea have implemented a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) project intended to explore and investigate the opportunities and challenges of RFID technology in the areas of instant food manufacture an...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is becoming increasingly important and is being used in business, production, manufacturing and logistics industries. However, RFID technology is still not fully development. This article examines the collection of some of the issues and challenges facing the RFID technology adoption in industrial applications and offers an initial roadmap to view the chall...

The social and ethical implications of contemporary technologies are becoming an issue of steadily growing importance. This paper offers an overview in terms of identity and the field of ethics, and explores how these apply to eHealth in both theory and practice. The paper selects a specific circumstance in which these ethical issues can be explored. It focuses particularly on radio-frequency i...

The number of RFID devices used in everyday life has increased, along with concerns about their security and user privacy. This paper describes our initial findings on practical attacks that we implemented against ‘proximity’ (ISO 14443 A) type RFID tokens. Focusing mainly on the RF communication interface we discuss the results and implementation of eavesdropping, unauthorized scanning and rel...

This paper aims to explore how Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can be utilized on dairy farms to enhance total farm management. There is a growing worldwide trend for countries to implement whole-of-life traceability systems for livestock, and RFID is clearly the dominant technology being chosen to achieve this aim. In line with this global trend, and to meet the requirements of key tradi...

This position paper describes the use of a radio frequency identification system to support group awareness. We collect location data of group members working on a certain floor in a building. The acquired spatial data is used to derive abstract online representations, which provide a context for the group members’ own activity. We focus on three application scenarios that show different use of...

Security and Privacy concerns in Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology particularly RFID Card, is a wide research area which have attracted researchers for over a decade. Authenticating users at the Card end of the RFID technology constitutes one of the major sources of attacks on the system. In this research, we studied the various known attacks and mitigation available. We proposed...

Logistics processes of perishable food in the supply chain include the distribution activities and the real time temperature monitoring to fulfil the cold chain requirements. The paper presents the use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology as an identification tool of receiving and shipping activities in the cold store. At the same time, the use of RFID data loggers with temperatu...

This article surveys recent technical research and achievements in the field of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification). Article also helps entering and better understanding the world of RFID systems. RFID tags are small, wireless devices that help identify objects and people. Thanks to dropping cost, they are likely to proliferate into the billions in the next several years – and eventually into...
