This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of the RFID Guardian, the first-ever unified platform for RFID security and privacy administration. The RFID Guardian resembles an “RFID firewall”, enabling individuals to monitor and control access to their RFID tags by combining a standard-issue RFID reader with unique RFID tag emulation capabilities. Our system provides a platfor...

As the load of traffic increases in RFID middleware, RFID system can no longer manage the RFID tags. Because of the incapability of the RFID system to handle vast amount of RFID tags, there are possibilities that the data cannot be processed efficiently in the RFID middleware. Implementation of agent technology is useful for verification and validation in RFID system architecture because intell...

Radio Frequency identification (RFID) is the popular wireless induction system [1-7]. The same as the general bar code identification, each RFID tag in an RFID system is assumed that equips a unique ID (UID) itself. A standard RFID system is consisted of Tag, Reader, and Application. When an independent RFID tag approaches the RFID antenna, the induc‐ tion between RFID tag and antenna happens. ...

Mobile RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a new application to use mobile phone as RFID reader with a wireless technology and provides new valuable services to user by integrating RFID and ubiquitous sensor network infrastructure with mobile communication and wireless internet. However, there are an increasing number of concerns, and even some resistances, related to consumer tracking and...

An increasing number of applications use RFID in their design, but there is a lack of understanding of how mobility affects RFID performance in these applications. Unlike static RFID experiments, mobile RFID studies require more expensive equipment that are unavailable to most researchers. In this paper, we conduct machine-aided experiments to study the effects of mobility on RFID. Our results ...

There are many emerging technologies to achieve “ubiquitous networking,” which is a federated network technology that supports various enablers such as 3G and B3G mobile, RFID tags, sensors, and actuators. From a service perspective, a number of context or ambient aware services are envisaged for “ubiquitous networking.” This should be discussed with wide experience of theoretical studies and i...

With the increasing popularity of RFID applications, different authentication schemes have been proposed to provide security and privacy protection to users. Most recent RFID protocols use a central database to store the RFID tag data. An RFID reader first queries the RFID tag and returns the reply to the database. After authentication, the database returns the tag data to the reader. In this p...

Efficiently, tracking information related to components, materials and equipment from the production/construction phase to operation and maintenance is a challenge in the industries. The industry environment is a natural fit for generating and utilizing instance-level data for decision support. Advanced electronic identification and data storage technologies e.g. radio frequency identification ...
