  • This paper proposes a novel anti-collision method for the ISO/IEC 18000-6 type B protocol which is the standard protocol of the 900 MHz RFID system. We improve the anti-collision performance by reducing the transmission number of commands and the length of bits required for multi-tag identification in the ISO/IEC 18000-6 type B protocol. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the multi-tag identification time by 21.7% over the conventional method, irrespective of number of tags.

  • Recently, RFID technology can successfully be used to reduce medical errors. This technology can aid in the accurate matching of patients with their medications and treatments. The enthusiasm for using RFID technology in medical settings has been tempered by privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient RFID authentication system to not only authenticate patients' authenticity but also protect patients' personal medical informations. The proposed system consists of RFID-based patient authentication protocol and database security protocol. As a result, since the proposed RFID authentication system provides strong security and efficiency, it can be used practically for patient authentication and personal medical information protection on the high technology medical environments such as u-Hospital and u-Healthcare.

  • As an automatic identification technology, in which electronic tags are attached to items and system auto-identifies informations of the items using wireless communication technology, use of RFID system is increasing in various fields. According to that, related security problems are becoming important issue. Up to now, many authentication protocols have been proposed to solve security problem of RFID system. In this paper, We show that the RFID authentication protocols in [9, 10], which are compatible with Type C RFID system in ISO 18000-6 Amd1[8], are vulnerable to a spoofing attack. In addition, we propose improved protocols having small additional cost over the original protocols.

  • In 2012, Woosik Bae proposed a DAP3-RS(Design of Authentication Protocol for Privacy Protection in RFID Systems) using the hash function and AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm to hide Tag's identification and to generates variable data in every session. He argued that the DAP3-RS is safe from spoofing attack, replay attack, traffic analysis and etc. Also, the DAP3-RS resolved problem by fixed metaID of Hash-Lock protocol using AES algorithm. However, unlike his argue, attacker can pass authentication and traffic analysis using by same data and fixed hash value on the wireless. We proposed authentication protocol based on AES algorithm. Also, our protocol is secure and efficient in comparison with the DAP3-RS.

  • Passive tags are inferior to active tags in processing efficiency, so they have difficulty in largevolume processing. The proposed protocol reduces the volume of computation in passive tags and, at the same time, improves authentication for enhanced safety and security. That is, different from existing RFID protocols that return the same value even if an error happens when the reader reads a tag, the improved RFID security protocol returns a new value using a re-counter and processes the computation part of a tag in the reader or in a back.end system. Even if the information of a tag is acquired by an malicious way, it is not actual information but encrypted information that is not usable. In addition, even if tag information is read in sequence, it is changed in each read, so the protocol is safe from Location Tracking.

  • RFID is a generic term for technologies which use RF waves to identify, track, or categorize any object. A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader recognizes objects through wireless communications with RFID tags. Tag collision arbitration for passive tags is a significant issue for fast tag identification due to communication over a shared wireless channel. One of the research areas in RFID system is a tag anti-collision protocol. In this paper, various anti-collision protocols are discussed. The pros and cons of different anti-collision protocols are compared with each other and their performance is analyzed and the better performance anti-collision protocol is suggested.

  • RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) system is non-contact identification technology. A basic RFID system consists of a reader, and a set of tags. RFID tags can be divided into active and passive tags. Active tags with power source allows their own operation execution and passive tags are small and low-cost. So passive tags are more suitable for distribution industry than active tags. A reader processes the information receiving from tags. RFID system achieves a fast identification of multiple tags using radio frequency. RFID systems has been applied into a variety of fields such as distribution, logistics, transportation, inventory management, access control, finance and etc. To encourage the introduction of RFID systems, several problems (price, size, power consumption, security) should be resolved. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to significantly alleviate the collision problem caused by simultaneous responses of multiple tags. In the RFID systems, in anti-collision schemes, there are three methods: probabilistic, deterministic, and hybrid. In this paper, we introduce ALOHA-based protocol as a probabilistic method, and Tree-based protocol as a deterministic one. In Aloha-based protocols, time is divided into multiple slots. Tags randomly select their own IDs and transmit it. But Aloha-based protocol cannot guarantee that all tags are identified because they are probabilistic methods. In contrast, Tree-based protocols guarantee that a reader identifies all tags within the transmission range of the reader. In Tree-based protocols, a reader sends a query, and tags respond it with their own IDs. When a reader sends a query and two or more tags respond, a collision occurs. Then the reader makes and sends a new query. Frequent collisions make the identification performance degrade. Therefore, to identify tags quickly, it is necessary to reduce collisions efficiently. Each RFID tag has an ID of 96bit EPC(Electronic Product Code). The tags in a company or manufacturer have similar tag IDs with the same prefix. Unnecessary collisions occur while identifying multiple tags using Query Tree protocol. It results in growth of query-responses and idle time, which the identification time significantly increases. To solve this problem, Collision Tree protocol and M-ary Query Tree protocol have been proposed. However, in Collision Tree protocol and Query Tree protocol, only one bit is identified during one query-response. And, when similar tag IDs exist, M-ary Query Tree Protocol generates unnecessary query-responses. In this paper, we propose Adaptive M-ary Query Tree protocol that improves the identification performance using m-bit recognition, collision information of tag IDs, and prediction technique. We compare our proposed scheme with other Tree-based protocols under the same conditions. We show that our proposed scheme outperforms others in terms of identification time and identification efficiency.

  • RFID, a non-contact wireless identification technology is being noticed as a technology to alternate barcode system in distribution industry and general industry. Despite of merit of RFID, there are issues to be solved for practical use. One of them, which are most important, is resolution of user's information protection. RFID system without security function bears risk exposing personal data and user's privacy. In this paper, we propose mutual authentication protocol for RFID system in order to solve this security issue. This study aimed to protect user's privacy by providing dynamic ID for tag through authentication protocol safe from security threats. Information being transmitted between backend, reader and tag has no direct connection with ID of tag, and it conducts authentication process using one-way hash function, which prevents attacker's obtaining of tag information using information being transmitted.

  • Recent advancement of USN technology has lent itself to the evolving communication technology for implantable devices in the field of medical service. The wireless transmission section for communication between implantable medical devices and patients is a cause of concern over invasion of privacy, resulting from external attackers' hacking and thus leakage of private medical information. In addition, any attempt to manipulate patients' medical information could end up in serious medical issues. The present study proposes an authentication protocol safe against intruders' attacks when RFID/USN technology is applied to implantable medical devices. Being safe against spoofing, information exposure and eavesdropping attacks, the proposed protocol is based on hash-function operation and adopts session keys and random numbers to prevent re-encryption. This paper verifies the security of the proposed protocol using the formal verification tool, Casper/FDR.

  • A tag collision problem occurs when many tags are placed in a interrogation zone in RFID system. A tag collision problem is one of core issues and various protocols have been proposed to solve the collision problems. Generally tree-based protocols generate unique prefixes and identify tags with them as quick as possible. In this paper, we propose the QT-BCS protocol which decreases the identification time by reducing the number of query-response. The QT-BCS protocol makes a prefixes using time slot and bit change sensing unit. This protocol compares the current bit of tags until the current bit is differ from the previous one. When this occurs, all of the bits scanned so far are transferred to slot-0 and slot-1 depending on the first bit value in Reader. Consequently, this method can reduce the number of queries by tracing prefixes easily. Simulation result shows QT-BCS is more efficient in identifying tags than Query Tree and 4-ary Query Tree protocol.
