RFID (radio frequency identification) is a key technology supporting emerging solutions for the automation of the identification service and the mass product management. A key issue is to reduce the average time taken to identifying tags, which is called average identification time. Focusing on the issue, the paper proposes an efficient multicast protocol which is applied to the anti-collision ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag privacy is an important issue to RFID security. To date, there have been several attempts to achieve the wide-strong privacy by using zero-knowledge protocols. In this paper, we launch an attack on the recent zero-knowledge based identification protocol for RFID, which was claimed to capture wide-strong privacy, and show that this protocol is flawed. Su...

Embedding a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag into individual items enables the unique identification of such items over the wireless medium, without the need for a line-of-sight path. One of the main challenges for the successful commercialization of the RFID technology is the efficient, yet private, identification of low-cost tags in the presence of adversaries attempting to illegally...

In the last decade, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become popular in so many fields from military to industry applications. RFID tags have been embedded into many various products especially in logistics sector. A tag stores individual information of its attached object and an RFID reader communicates with the tag in radio frequencies to identify the object. This object to be monitor...

As a vital and integrated part of the radio-frequency identification (RFID) system, RFID antennas have been received much attention over years, and their design is very urgent and significant. In fact, the development of RFID antenna is of theoretical significance and practical value for the RFID system. In this chapter, the RFID technology is briefly introduced, and the operating principle of ...

For some scenarios of vehicle tracking and identification, it is desired that radio-frequency identification (RFID) interrogators can be deployed on roadside lampposts or high poles. In order to meet this requirement, active RFID electronic license plate (e-plate) with a slot-dipole antenna is proposed to provide up-tilted beams. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed e-plate anten...

This paper explores the concept of malware for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems — including RFID exploits, RFID worms, and RFID viruses. We present RFID malware design principles together with concrete examples; the highlight is a fully illustrated example of a self-replicating RFID virus. The various RFID malware approaches are then analyzed for their effectiveness across a range ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a promising technology for automated non-line-of-sight object identification. Traditional research of RFID middleware does not concern RFID related integration with enterprise information systems. Considering the requirements of RFID middleware and business process integration with enterprise information systems, an integration framework for RFID middlew...

Beyond identification purposes, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is an elegant way to transmit wireless sensor data. There are several RFID transponder ICs on the market, but for the data read out of the sensors, a low power microcontroller (μC) with a specific functionality is also often a necessary part of the system. So we present an easy way to integrate the functionality of the RFID t...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology can be used to significantly improve the efficiency of business processes by providing the capability of automatic identification and data capture. RFID system must implement functions to posses the enormous event data generated quickly by RFID readers. The proliferation of RFID tags and readers will require dedicated middleware solutions that ma...
