Every year researchers and engineers are finding new and useful applications for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems (Finkenzeller, 2003). Because of the growing use of RFID systems, many different areas of research have also been developed to improve the performance of such systems. A few of these areas of research include novel antenna designs (Rao et at., 2005; Calabrese & Marrocco...

Evaluation of RFID middleware is a complex process due to its cost for constructing a test bed involving RFID readers and tags. An input dataset of the RFID middleware is a tag event stream from connected readers. A randomly generated dataset can be considered for stress testing, but this cannot guarantee whether the middleware can provide correct answers on given dataset. To enable this, the d...

Successful object identification is the primary objective of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Yet, a recent major study by Wal-Mart has shown that object detection probability can be as low as 66%. We propose the tagging of objects with multiple tags to address the fundamental issue of object detectability. We show that this strategy dramatically improves the efficacy of RFID s...

The security of RFID systems is a very important issue in the applications of RFID systems. Developing of authentication protocols is a general solution to * Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] (Eun-Jun Yoon) 3434 Il-Soo Jeon and Eun-Jun Yoon resist security attacks. However, since low-cost RFID tags have very limited hardware resources, it is not easy to develop an authentication pr...

RFID-tags can be seen as a new generation of bar codes with added functionality. They are becoming very popular tools for identification of products in various applications such as supply-chain management. The widespread deployment of RFID technology will depend to a large extent on its acceptance by the general public. Thus, developing privacy and security technologies specifically suited to t...

The cognitive content of the paper discuss about the Radio frequency identification (RFID) which is a generic term that is used to delineate a system that transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serial number) of an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves. Lineaments of RFID Tags are hashed out and various vantages are discussed. RFID is an extremely efficient method of identific...

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...

Cloned fake RFID tags and malicious RFID readers pose a major threat to RFID-based supply chain management system. Fake tags can be attached to counterfeit products and medicines. Malicious readers can corrupt and snoop on genuine tags. These threats can be alleviated by incorporating a RFID tag-reader mutual authentication scheme. In this paper we propose a simple, cost-effective, light-weight...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio signals for object identification. Since the invention of RFID in the mid 1930’s, the technology has been used to identify aircraft, collect bridge-toll payments, deter theft, and track livestock, among many other applications. Interest in RFID has spiked in recent years with the formation of the Auto-ID Center and visions of...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been used in a wide variety of tracking, monitoring, and access control applications. The spreading adoption of RFID and its large scale deployments have given importance to some planning and coverage problems in this field. Tags coverage in RFID networks is one of these problems that can be defined generally as finding the number and locatio...
