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 ...

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has a diverse base of applications, but it is also prone to security threats. There are different types of security attacks which limit the range of the RFID applications. For example, deploying the RFID networks in insecure environments could make the RFID system vulnerable to many types of attacks such as spoofing attack, location traceabil...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is becoming a very affordable and reliable way of to track inventory items. Because of this, RFID systems have received considerable attention from researchers, engineers and industry personnel. Particularly, researchers involved with RFID systems have developed smaller antennas for tags deployed in these systems. Several of these designs have involved mean...

RFID is a promising technology in the healthcare area in order to improve patient safety and increase efficiency and reduce costs in the daily healthcare work. This paper analyzes the available literature regarding both interference of RFID systems in medical equipment and the interferences of medical equipment on RFID systems. The conclusion of this analysis is that is necessary to develop sta...

The automated identification technology, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), provides the potential to reduce costs in the transportation operations. Local Department of Transportation (DOT) offices have to carefully consider technologies such as RFID when considering their use for operation such as Right of Way (ROW) property control. ROW operations require strategic planning in that invent...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that has risen to prominence over the past decade. The clear advantages of this technology over traditional identification methods, along with mandates from supply chain giants like Wal-Mart and the Department of Defense, led to a large number of research and commercialization efforts in the early 2000s. However, almost a decade on, the earl...

Tampering of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag data results in misinterpretation of the object to which the tag is attached. Due to the advantages offered by RFID in the field of contactless auto identification, it is being used in the widespread range of applications. With growing adoption of RFID in industries, supply chain management, healthcare systems, security systems, government ...

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....

AbstrAct: The design of a secure communication scheme for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems has been extensively studied in recent years in view of the awareness of individual privacy and the requirement of robust system security. Most of previous works assume the communication channel between an RFID reader and its backend server is secure and concentrate on the security enhancemen...

The project ART proposes to enhance passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags with cryptographically secure authentication. Starting with a short introduction into common RFID systems with passive tags, we present a motivation why secure authentication with standardized symmetric crypto algorithms for RFID tags is necessary for many applications. We demonstrate vulnerabilities of curre...
