This paper analyzes the tag data inconsistency problem caused by incomplete execution of the tag access operation to the RFID tag's memory and proposes a protocol to control consistent tag data accesses with finalizing the incomplete operation. Passive RFID tag cannot guarantee complete execution of the tag access operations because of uncertainty and unexpected disconnection of RF communications. This leads to the tag data inconsistency problem. To handle this, we propose a concurrency control protocol which defines incomplete tag operations as continuous queries and monitors the tags're-observation continuously. The protocol finalizes the incomplete operation when the tag is re-observed while it blocks inconsistent data accesses from other operations. We justify the proposed protocol by analyzing the completeness and consistency. The experiments show that the protocol shows better performance than the traditional lock-based concurrency control protocol.

The essential factor of ubiquitous is security technology to properly prepare making possible network access, economic and convenient information exchange. This paper proposes an authentication protocol for RFID as one technology to realize such an ubiquitous. The proposed protocol used only the EXOR and the hash function operations reduces operations at RFID tag, which improves stability compared to existing protocols.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 센서를 통하여 실시간의 상황인식 서비스를 제공하며, 이를 위해 사용자의 위치 정보 수집이 필요하다. NTT에서는 RFID에 대한 익명화를 통한 프라이버시보호 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 그러나, 불법적으로 접근하는 리더가 존재할 경우 i값의 비동기화를 통한 태그에 대한 Random Tampering공격이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 NTT 연구소의 RFID 익명화 방법을 개선하여 태그의 Random Tampering 공격 방지가 가능하고, 태그와 리더 상호간 인증이 가능하며, 연산 과정을 절감시킨 새로운 RFID 익명화 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 통하여 보다 안전하고 효율적으로 RFID기반 센서 네트워크 환경에서 사용자의 프라이버시를 보호할 수 있다.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a next generation technology that will replace barcode. RFID can identify an object by reading ID inside a RFID tag using radio frequency. However, because a RFID tag replies its unique ID to the request of any reader through wireless communication, it is vulnerable to attacks on security or privacy through wiretapping or an illegal reader's request. The RFID authentication protocol has been studied actively in order to solve security and privacy problems, and is used also in tag search. Recently, as the number of tags is increasing in RFTD systems and the cost of data collection is also rising, the importance of effective tag search is increasing. This study proposed an efficient search method that solved through ta9 group the problem of large volume of database computation in Miyako Ohkubo's hash chain mechanism, which meets requirements for security and privacy protection. When we searched first the group of tags with access rate of 5 or higher in a database with 100,000 records, search time decreased by around 30%.

The RFID system has the security problem of location tracking and user privacy. In order to solve this problem, the cryptographic access method using hash function is difficult to in real applications. Because there is a limit of computing and storage capacity of Tag, but the safety is proved. The lightweight authentication methods like HB and LMAP guarantee the high efficiency, but the safety is not enough to use. In this paper, we use the AES for RFID Authentication, and solve the problem of using fixed key with key change step by step. The symmetric keys of the tag and server are changed by the random number generated by tag, reader and server successively. This could prevent the key exposure. As a result, the output of the tag and reader always changes. These key changes could make it possible to prevent eavesdropping, replay attack, location tracking and spoofing.

RFID는 자동 객체 식별 기술로써 유비쿼터스 환경과의 연결을 통해서 적용 범위가 더욱 확대되고 있다. 그러나 RFID 시스템은 전파를 이용하는 통신 구조와 낮은 태그 가격 제약으로 인해서 사용자의 프라이버시 문제와 악의적인 공격노출 등의 위험이 발생하고 있다. 이런 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 물리적인 방법과 암호학적인 접근 방법 등 많은 방법들이 제안되었다. 그 중에서 해시 체인 기법은 다른 방법과 비교하여 강력한 보안 수준을 제공하면서도 간단한 인증 과정이 장점이다. 그러나 재전송 공격과 스푸핑 공격에 취약한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존 해시 체인의 장점을 유지하면서 보안 취약성을 개선한 RFID 인증 프로토콜을 제안한다. 계산 효율성을 고려하여 최소한의 난수와 비트 연산(XOR)을 이용하여 보안 취약성을 개선한다.

This paper proposes a method of estimating the optimal position of a robot in order to provide a service by approaching a user located outside the sensing area of the robot in an indoor environment. First, in order to estimate the user's location, the location in the indoor environment was estimated by applying a trilateral approach to the beacon-tag module data, and Voronoi thinning to set the optimal movement goal from the user's estimated location. Based on the generated nodes, the final location was estimated through the calculation of the user location, obstacle, and movement path, and the location accuracy of the service robot was verified through the movement of the destination of the actual robot platform.

The development of computing technology and networking has developed into a fundamental technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which provides a ubiquitous environment. In the ubiquitous environment, the IoT environment has become an issue so that various devices and the things can be actively accessed and connected. Also, the RFID system using the wireless identification code attaches an RFID tag to the object, such as the production and distribution of products. It is applied to the management very efficiently. EPCglobal is conducting a research on RFID system standardization and various security studies. Since RFID systems use wireless environment technology, there are more security threats than wire problems. In particular, failure to provide confidentiality, indistinguishability, and forward safety could expose them to various threats in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, this study analyzes the standard method of EPCgolbal and proposes RFID security method using hash code that can consider the amount of computation.
