Design of ultra-lightweight authentication protocols for RFID systems conformed with the EPC Class-1 Generation-2 standard is still a challenging issue in RFID security. Recently, Maurya et al. have proposed a CRC based authentication protocol and claimed that their protocol can resist against all known attacks in RFID systems. However, in this paper we show that their protocol is vulnerable to...

In today’s competition environment which is changing very fast, organizations need to renew their services, products and communication technics, change and replace their working methods with new ones continuously to benefit more from time and sources. Therefore, automatic object identification and tracking systems, data gathering, management and analysis technologies were always needed by compa...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is one of the most promising technologies in the IoT (The Internet of Things) era. Many RFID systems have been used in supermarkets or warehouses. There are two challenges for RFID anti-collision algorithms. The first challenge is accurately estimating the number of tags; the other is improving the efficiency of RFID systems. This paper proposes ...

Along with the development of RFID technology, RFID tag is used for identifying object in more and more areas. RFID becomes one of the most important technologies in application and development of Internet of Things. Currently, in the applications of Internet-Internet of things, one of the most important issues is that the information carried by tag code can't be shared in different tag code st...

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio frequency signals for purposes of identification and tracking of objects, humans or animals. Since it allows automated identification and potential new features such as sensing of environmental parameters, RFID is gaining preference over legacy identification technologies. RFID is also being implemented in future mobile termi...

The purpose of building smart home system is some home devices (audio and video equipment, lighting systems, air conditioning control, security systems, digital cinema systems, network appliances, etc.) through smart home network automation, broadband and wireless networks, and we can achieve remote control home devices. The paper proposes application of RFID technology and ontology model in de...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is expected to become an important and ubiquitous infrastructure technology. As RFID tags are affixed to everyday items, they may be used to support various useful services. However, widespread deployment of RFID tags may create new threats to user privacy, due to the powerful tracking capability of the tags. There are several important technical points whe...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology one of the most promising technologies in the field of ubiquitous computing. Indeed, RFID technology may well replace barcode technology. Although it offers many advantages over other identification systems, there are also associated security risks that are not easy to be addressed. When designing a real lightweight authentication protocol for lo...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are emerging as the primary object identification mechanism, especially in supply chain management. However, RFID naturally generates a large amount of duplicate readings. Removing these duplicates from the RFID data stream is paramount as it does not contribute new information to the system and wastes system resources. Existing approaches to deal w...

RFID-technologies have been described as major enabling technologies for automated, contactless data collection. We conveyed a quantitative survey of 463 executives across various industries in Germany to investigate about the perceived strategic importance of RFID among IT decision makers, current RFID usage, companies' intentions to invest in RFID and visions of RFID application. The survey r...
