A passive RFID tag which received attention as a future technology for automatic and quick identification faces some difficulties about security problems such as tag authentication, reader authentication, data protection, and untraceability in addition to cost and reliable identification. A representative passive RFID technology is the ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C which is an international standard for 900 MHz UHF-band. This standard has some difficulties in applying to the security services such as originality verification, tag's internal information protection, and untraceability, because it does not provide high-level security solution. In this paper, we summarize security requirements of ISO/IEC ITC 1/SC 31 international standardization group, propose security protocols suitable for the UHF-band passive RFID system using a crypto engine, and analyze its security strength. In addition, we verify that it is possible to implement a tag conforming with the proposed security protocols by presenting concrete command/response pairs and cryptographic method.

In this paper, we suggest a modified slotted ALOHA algorithm for fast tag collection in active RFID system and implement the reader and tag operation using CC2530 chip of Texas Instruments Co. to prove the performance of the proposed algorithm. In the present international standard related with active RFID including ISO/IEC 18000-7 the reader sends sleep command to each tag after successful obtaining tag's information. Meanwhile, in this paper, the tags decide to sleep after checking the second command from the reader resulting in enormously decreased tag collection time. We tested the proposed algorithm with 30 tags over the range of 0-3m and the results showed that the tag collection process was completed in 400msec at average. And 30 tags are collected in one second with 99.7% and the collection rate is 100% in 2m distance between reader and tag. The collection rates are 99.94% and 99.7% for distance 2.5m and 3m, respectively. The average collection rate is 99.91% over all range and it is concluded that the proposed algorithm is enough to apply to real fields.

IoT has been consistently used in various fields such as smart home, wearables, and healthcare. Since IoT devices are small terminals, relatively simple wireless communication protocols such as IEEE 802.15.4 and ISO 18000 series are used. In this paper, we designed the 802.15.4q 2.4 GHz TASK physical layer. Physical protocol data unit of TASK supports bit-level interleaving and shortened BCH encoding. It is spread by unique ternary sequences. There are four spreading factors to choose the data rate according to the communication channel environment. The TASK physical layer was designed using verilog-HDL and verified through the loop-back test of the transceiver. The designed TASK physical layer was implemented in a fpga and tested using MAXIM RFICs. The PER was about 0% at 10 dB SNR. It is expected to be used in small, low power IoT applications.

The low-rate (LR) UWB is a promising technology for the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) due to its extremely low power consumption and simple transceiver implementation. However the limited communication range is a bottleneck for its widespread use. This paper deals with a new frame structure of class 4 active RFID multi-hop relay system based on ISO/IEC 18000-7 standard integrating with IEEE 802.15.4a LR-UWB PHY layer specification, which sets up a connection to USN. As a result of the vital importance of the coverage and throughput in the application of USN, further we analyze the performance of the proposed system considered both impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) and chirp spread spectrum (CSS). Our simulation results show that the coverage and throughput are remarkably increased.

In this paper, it is studied anti-collision algorithm based on the transmission protocol for RFID baseband system of the lSO/IEC 18000-6 Type-C regulation and designed the baseband part of RFID reader system using FPGA. To compensate this weak point of the slot random aloha algorithm which must have a long time to be dumped before deciding an appropriate slot size according to the number of surrounding tag, we suggested how to apply Bit By Bit algorithm to be able to recognize the tag when the tag is clashing. The design of the baseband part in the RFID reader system is accomplish by use of the ISE9.1i and I made an experiment on it targeting Spartan2. Construction verification is measured each block through Logic Analyzer and I can verify it has no error. I also compared and analyzed the performance between proposed algorithm and past algorithm and verified the improvement of performance.

In this paper, we first propose the security enhancing of authentication protocol for Hash based RFID tag, and then a digital Codec for RFID tag is designed based on the proposed authentication protocol. The protocol is based on a three-way challenge response authentication protocol between the tags and a back-end server. In order to realize a secure cryptographic authentication mechanism, we modify three types of the protocol packets which defined in the ISO/IEC 18000-3 standard. Thus active attacks such as the Man-in-the-middle and Replay attacks can be easily protected. In order to verify effectiveness of the proposed protocol, a digital Codec for RFID tag is designed using Verilog HDL, and also synthesized using Synopsys Design Compiler with Hynix $0.25\;{\mu}m$ standard-cell library. Through security analysis and comparison result, we will show that the proposed scheme has better performance in user data confidentiality, tag anonymity, Man-in-the-middle attack prevention, replay attack, forgery resistance and location tracking.

The 'Quality Competitiveness Index' (QCI) is defined as an quantitative and disinterested indicator that measures and compares the quality of products across the world. The purpose of this study is to suggest the 'Quality Competitiveness Assessment Model' (QCAM) and calculate QCI of a popular UHF RFID Label tag (Global ISO 18000-3C supported) available these days in a global apparel market. The model was based on KS-QEI(Korean Standard-Quality Excellence Index), and was composed with the following 4 evaluation categories, a process capability test, an environmental reliability test, a durability test and a design margin test. The QCI score can be calculated with the following formula, using the weighted arithmetic mean between a score of each evaluation category ($X_1$, $X_2$, $X_3$, $X_4$) and each weight($w_1$, $w_2$, $w_3$, $w_4$). The actual weights was determined by an result of AHP survey to which was conducted for the related Industry-University-Institute experts. The proposed index shows the results of comparisons with global competitor's products as well as the high-quality domestic RFID label tags. In addition, it will play an important role for manufacturers when developing their future products.

An alternator which converts mechanical rotating energy into electric energy is an important component of a vehicle. It operates in broad range from 3000 RPM to 18000 RPM. So, sufficient flow rate and low noise are needed in such broad operating range for a cooling fan of this alternator. In current study, the cooling fan of an alternator is developed through DFSS process and numerical analysis. In order to calculate flow rate and noise level, SC/Tetra and FlowNoise S/W are used respectively, for a new developed fan, compared with original model, numerical result shows 3 dBA reduction and measured value shows 4 dBA reduction.

RFID 기술은 ISO/IEC 18000 표준문서에서 정의한 규격에 기반하여 기술 개발이 진행되고 있으며, USN 기술은 IEEE 802.15.4에 기반한 Zigbee 표준문서를 따르는 센서 노드를 중심으로 기술이 발전하고 있다. 이러한 기본적인 통신 기능과 더불어 RFID/USN 정보 보호를 위한 보안 기술 논의도 활발하게 전개되고 있으며, 그 결과로서 RFID/USN 보안 취약점, 보안 필요성 및 보안 요구사항 등에 대한 분석 자료들은 지속적으로 발표되고 있다. 그러나 요구사항 분석 자료와 달리 기술적인 해결 방안을 제시하는 자료들은 단편적인 기능에 중점을 둔 학술적인 이론 분석에 머무르고 있을 뿐 실제 상용화 수준의 개발 내용들을 제공하는 발표는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 기본적인 보안 요구사항 정리 수준을 넘어보다 구체적인 RFID/USN 보안 기술의 개발 결과를 제시하고자 한다.
