Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology for automated identification of objects and people. RFID may be viewed as a means of explicitly labeling objects to facilitate their "perception" by computing devices. RFlD 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 RFlD systems which could threat the technology s future. To successfully adopt RFID technology in various applications. we need to develop the solutions to protect the RFID system s data information. This study investigates important issues related to privacy and security of RF1D based on the recent literature and suggests solutions to cope with the problem.
