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...

RFID technology is an emerging market with a wide spectrum of application domains. The introduction of RFID systems in industrial manufacturing has already been taken up more than ten years ago. Currently RFID tags are appearing in public environments like ticketing applications and retail supply chains. One the one hand mass applications will imply a break-through for RFID technologies, on the...

Advantages of Physically Uncloneable Functions (PUFs) have led to appearing a substantial number novel identification and authentication based systems such as Radio frequency (RFID), which is expected replace the conventional bar-code system due its advantages real-time recognition considerable objects. For example, RFID can be used identify an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) when it attached wit...

Privacy is a major concern in RFID systems, especially with widespread deployment of wireless enabled interconnected personal devices. In this paper, we consider privacy issues in RFID systems where the authorized readers must be able to identify tags without an adversary being able to trace them, and provide a formal security model for privacy in RFID system. Under this model, we analyze the r...

RFID tags will exist pervasively in our daily life in a near future. In RFID systems, privacy and security are of critical importance to avoid potential tracking abuse and privacy violations. Many protocols have been proposed to address privacy and security issues in RFID systems. Physical attacks receive few considerations from the current research. Through physically attacks, attackers can ge...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) devices have matured to the point where they are now expanding beyond the retail supply chain and public transit fare management systems. RFID technology provides a low power and economical method to link remote sensors to larger control systems. In these cases, the RFID protocols provide the communication link between the sensor and larger control system. ...

Recently, there have been an increasing interest in RFID system and RFID systems have been applied to various applications. Load balancing is a fundamental technique for providing scalability of systems by moving workload from overloaded nodes to under-loaded nodes. This paper presents an approach to adaptive load balancing for RFID middlewares. Workloads of RFID middlewares can have a consider...

RFID today is the popular wireless induction system. Each RFID tag in RFID system is given a unique ID (UID). The RFID tag with memory also records the on demand information. When an independent RFID tag approaches the RFID antenna, the induction between tag and antenna happens. The information and content recorded in the tag is transmitted to the RFID antenna and translated into the computatio...

RFID technology can be used to significantly improve the efficiency of business processes by providing the capability of automatic identification and data capture. This technology poses many new challenges on current data management systems. RFID data are time-dependent, dynamically changing, in large volumes, and carry implicit semantics. RFID data management systems need to effectively suppor...

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...
