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...

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...

Despite its long history, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is considered as one of the most promising wireless technology in future ubiquitous computing environments. However, it’s a very different form of technology than today’s other wireless dominants such as cellular, satellite, and wireless computer networks. In short, RFID is a contactless, automatic, ultra-light, super-cheap, and ex...
