This book presents various security aspects in RFID and sensor networks. Each chapter represents a self-sufficient, independent paper, and the topics are not formally bound together by means of e.g. an introduction or an overview of the debated topics. The editors have chosen and arranged the discussed topics in such a way, however, as to give a good overview of the security challenges in resou...

RFID-based public transport ticketing systems rely on widespread networks of RFID readers that locate the user within the transport network in real time to be able to verify whether he can travel at that time with the ticket he holds. This paper presents a system that uses that same RFID-based location information to give the user navigation indications depending on his current location, provid...

RFID authentication on large numbers of tags or tag groups has attracted many researchers’ attention as an extension of initial one-or-two-tags scenarios. Due to demands of RFID application in supply chain, various proofs are proposed in the purpose of solving existing problems of grouping tags identification. However, it is proved that verifiers in these proofs are not aware of abnormal relati...

In this concept paper, we study the complex innovation of Radio Frequency Identification Systems (RFID) in context of their functional value. The purpose of this research is to provide an interpretation of functionality as presented by contemporary RFID systems and organized in the form of a functional matrix that demonstrates RFID mainstream applications. The fundamental functions are broken d...
