Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system allows automatic identification of items with RFID tags using radio-waves. As the RFID tag has its unique identification number, it is also possible to detect a specific region where the RFID tag lies in. Recently it is widely been used in mobile robot navigation, localization, and mapping both in indoor and outdoor environment. This paper represents...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has recently received a lot of focus as an augmentation Technology in the Ubiquitous Computing domain. RFID system uses Tags which are small, wireless devices that help in identifying objects and people. When read range permits, clandestine scanning of tags is a plausible threat. In consequence, a person carrying an RFID tag effectively broadcasts a fixed s...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have become popular for automated identification and supply chain applications. This article describes the technical fundamentals of RFID systems and the associated standards. Specifically, we address the security and privacy aspects of this relatively new and heterogeneous radio technology. We discuss the related security requirements, the threats ...

Mobile RFID applications combine RFID technologies and mobile device to create a new convenient application area. However, most of the applications suffer from the security issues due to insecure communication channels among tags, readers and servers. In 2012, Zhou et al. proposed an ECC-based mutual authentication protocol to promote mobile RFID applications security. However, we found their p...

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...

1 The reader collision problem occurs when the signal from one reader interferes with the signal from other readers. Solutions like RTS-CTS are not applicable because a reader may communicate with multiple tags simultaneously. In this paper, we describe Pulse, a distributed protocol to reduce reader collisions. The operation of the Pulse protocol is based on periodic beaconing on a separate con...

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 ...
