RFID is an automatic identification technology that can control a range of information via IC chips and radio communication. Also known as electronic tags, smart tags or electronic labels, RFID technology enables embedding the overall process from production to sales in an ultra-small IC chip and tracking down such information using radio frequencies. Currently, RFID-based application and development is in progress in such fields as health care, national defense, logistics and security. RFID structure consists of a reader that reads tag information, a tag that provides information and the database that manages data. Yet, the wireless section between the reader and the tag is vulnerable to security issues. To sort out the vulnerability, studies on security protocols have been conducted actively. However, due to difficulties in implementation, most suggestions are concerned with theorem proving, which is prone to vulnerability found by other investigators later on, ending up in many troubles with applicability in practice. To experimentally test the security of the protocol proposed here, the formal verification tool, CasperFDR was used. To sum up, the proposed protocol was found to be secure against diverse attacks. That is, the proposed protocol meets the safety standard against new types of attacks and ensures security when applied to real tags in the future.

Papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) causes the most widespread and devastating disease in papaya. Isolates of PRSV originating from different geographical regions in south India were collected and maintained on natural host papaya. The entire coat protein (CP) gene of Papaya ringspot virus-P biotype (PRSV-P) was amplified by RTPCR. The amplicon was inserted into pGEM-T vector, sequenced and sub cloned into a bacterial expression vector pRSET-A using a directional cloning strategy. The PRSV coat protein was over-expressed as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli. SDS-PAGE gel revealed that CP expressed as a ~40 kDa protein. The recombinant coat protein (rCP) fused with 6x His-tag was purified from E.coli using Ni-NTA resin. The antigenicity of the fusion protein was determined by western blot analysis using antibodies raised against purified PRSV. The purified rCP was used as an antigen to produce high titer PRSV specific polyclonal antiserum. The resulting antiserum was used to develop an immunocapture reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (IC-RT-PCR) assay and compared its sensitivity levels with ELISA based assays for detection of PRSV isolates. IC-RT-PCR was shown to be the most sensitive test followed by dot-blot immunobinding assay (DBIA) and plate trapped ELISA.

This paper proposed hardware architecture of the block cryptographic algorithm HIGHT aiming small size and low power application, and analyzed its performance. The HIGHT is a modified algorithm of the Feistel. The encryption and decryption circuit were designed as one iterative block. It reduces the redundant circuit that yields small area. For the performance improvement, the circuit generates 32-bit subkey during 1 clock cycle. we synthesized the HIGHT with Hynix $0.25-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The proposed circuit size was 2.658 EG(equivalent gate), and its power consumption was $10.88{\mu}W$ at 2.5V for 100kHz. It is useful for a passive RFID tag or a smart IC card of a small size and low power.

In this article, the organic integrated circuits such as inverter, ring oscillator, NAND and NOR gates, and rectifier have been fabricated on PEN substrate by using pentacene TFTs, The OTFTs used bottom contact structure and produced the average mobility of 0.26 $cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. All circuits successfully worked as the simulation results. Especially, the rectifier was able to operate up to 1 MHz input AC signals, and ring oscillator exhibited oscillation frequency of 1MHz at 40 V. Based on the results of organic integrated circuits we could confirm the possibility of the low cost RFID tags and flexible display with OTFTs.

We developed a RFID terminal to voice guide the blind who have difficulties in reaching out to the pharmaceutical information. In this work, we used RFID technology to instruct the pharmaceutical information to the blind. The voice guidance reader was made to read the RFID tag attached to the drugs and announced the pharmaceutical information matching to the tag specific ID. We had the reader to obtain the pharmaceutical information from the ezDrug site operated by Korea Food & Drug Association. The voice guidance reader was fabricated as necklace type for the easy carry, and we added mp3 player as dual uses. ARM series Cortex M3 chip was used for the reader's core chip and low power MFRC523 chipset of NXP was used to construct RFID circuit. MFRC523 chip uses low power to meet the mobile application. We used VS1003B MP3 Decoder IC to make the voice generation circuit and CC2500 chipset for the wireless communication to the pharmaceutical information server. We also developed the system that can support ISO 14443A type and ISO 14443B type so that the system can be used to extend to various RFID protocols. Utilization of this system can conveniently convey the pharmaceutical information to the blind and reduce the drug abuse.

The glyoxylate cycle can conserve carbons and adequately supply tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates for biosynthesis when microorganisms grow on $C_{2}$ carbon sources. It has been reported that isocitrate lyase (ICL1), a key enzyme of the glyoxylate cycle, is highly induced when Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of rice blast, infects its host. Therefore, the glyoxylate cycle is considered as a new target for antifungal agents. A 1.6-kb DNA fragment encoding the ICL1 from M. grisea KJ201 was amplified by PCR, cloned into a vector providing His-tag at the N-terminus, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified ICL1 was approximately 60 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The ICL1 inhibitory effects of TCA cycle intermediates and their analogs were investigated. Among them, 3-nitropropionate was found to be the strongest inhibitor with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11.0{\mu}g/ml$. 3-Nitropropionate inhibited the appressorium development in M. grisea at the ${\mu}M$ level, whereas conidia germination remained unaffected. This compound also inhibited the mycelial growth of the fungus on minimal medium containing acetate as a $C_{2}$ carbon source. These results suggest that ICL1 plays a crucial role in appressorium formation of M. grisea and is a new target for the control of phytopathogenic fungal infection.
