RFID technology is already used in the various application fields such as identification card, traffic card and etc. Many RFID application systems using UHF have been developed in the field of asset management, logistics and security. Because a human being can make mistakes, we need the system that can efficiently manage the special assets such as small arms, jewelry and medicine and can monitor them in real time. In this paper, we proposed a special assets management system to keep assets in safe custody, to monitor their safety status in real time and to manage distribution channels and history of those assets. The developed system is called Smart Cabinet because it has cabinet's form. Smart Cabinet integrates such technologies as RFID, smart card, fingerprint recognition, several sensors and LCD display in order to provide the functions for special asset management. Those functions include condition monitoring of assets, traceability management, distribution channels and security logs, which are to interact with a management server. The article demonstrated the potentiality of RFID by presenting special asset management solutions dedicated to guns and medicine management, and also showed the effectiveness and possibility of those solutions.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system is expected to play a critical role providing widespread services in the ubiquitous period. However, widespread use of RFID tags may create new threats to the privacy of individuals such as information leakage and traceability. It is difficult to solve the privacy problems because a tag has the limited computing power that is not the adequate resource to support the general encryption. Although the scheme of [2] protects the consumer privacy using an external agent, a tag should compute exponential operation needed high cost. We propose Self Re-Encryption Protocol (SREP) which provides song privacy without assisting of any external agent. Our SREP is well suitable to low-cost RFID system since it only needs multiplication and exclusive-or operation.

Pharmaceutical companies over the world are exposed to risks of lessened sales and negative impact on corporate image due to circulation of counterfeit drugs, which eventually threatens safety of patients. thus, in order to eradicate distribution of counterfeit drugs, many countries are taking initiatives to legalize and set serialization through e-Pedigree, which is based on RFID technology or barcode system to track and trace distribution of drugs from point of manufacturing to usage. therefore, this study contemplates domestic and international management system of medical drugs and suggests application methods of e-Pedigree based on RFID technology that promotes safety of patients and distribution of drugs.

Most world-leading companies are aware that Environment and Health and Safety Issues are critical to the product quality and sustainable growth of their company. Environment-friendly efforts are seen in almost all aspects of business operations in an advanced nation. The Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR) and EU Directive on Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment(WEEE) attempt to tackle the growing quantity of WEEE by making producers responsible for the costs of the collection and recycling of their products at the End-of-Life(EOL). To implement the RFID-based integration system for EOL household electric appliances, such as washing machines and refrigerators, we analyzed the process of collecting, recovering, and recycling the EOL products returned from the distribution points. Furthermore, we proposed a soon-to-be process using the RFID-based integration system in the metropolitan recycling center(MRC). This soon-to-be process model is composed of RFID tags, readers, ALEs, applications and several devices. Through the introduction of the RFID-based integration system, we are expecting to see increasing traceability and real-time management for EOL products from customers, and also improvements in valuable reusable materials(VRM) produced from recycling processes.

In this paper, we propose a manufacturing process model of Internet of Things devices using a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)-mounted RFID tag chip for reducing electronic wastes. Electrical and electronic products require a PCB surface mount and many examination. Also, conventional barcode systems cannot provide traceability management in PCB manufacturing before finishing Surface Mount Technology (SMT) process. The proposed process model does not require workers' attaching and detaching process unlike barcode systems. Also, RFID tag chip can record all the data in manufacturing steps. Thus, the number of connections to a database management system (DBMS) can be reduced.

Recently, many hash-based authentication protocols were presented to guarantee mutual authentication between tag and DB in RFID system. To be suitable for distributed DB environment, one generally uses fixed constant value as a tag ID. However, some existing protocols have security flaws or heavy computational loads in DB in order to search a tag ID. We propose a secure authentication protocol which is suitable for distributed DB environment by using unchangeable tag ID. The storage method of pre-synchronized information in DB at previous session is core idea of our proposal which gives low-cost ID search of DB at next session. In normal synchronization state, our protocol only requires 3 hash operations in tag and DB respectively.

Lee et al. recently proposed an RFID mutual authentication scheme based on synchronized secret information. However, we found that their protocol is vulnerable to a spoofing attack in which an adversary can impersonate a legal tag to the reader by sending a malicious random number. To remedy this vulnerability, we propose two RFID authentication protocols which are secure against all possible threats including backward and forward traceability. Furthermore, one of the two proposed protocols requires only three hash operations(but, $[m/2]{\cdot}2+3$ operations in resynchronization state, m is the number of tags) in the database to authenticate a tag, hence it is well suitable fur large scale RFID systems.

The purpose of this study is to investigate what influence the external variables of the RFID system for eco-friendly agricultural products such as reliability, safety, effectiveness and innovation have on ease and usefulness, perceived value and behavioral intention. An empirical analysis were conducted to the general consumers over the age of 20 years who live in Seoul and Gyeonggi areas having experience of buying eco-friendly agricultural products in department stores, supermarkets and eco-friendly agricultural product specialty stores from November 10 to November 23, 2012, A total of 350 copies of questionnaire were distributed for this research and, excluding partial ones that were too concentrated on one side or found missing values, a total of 305 copies(87.1%) were used as the final statistical analysis data. The result shows that such external variables of the RFID system for eco-friendly agricultural products as liability, safety, effectiveness and innovation are useful enough as a theoretical basis for later study on RFID systems for eco-friendly agricultural products. Also, it reveals that, since all the process from production to sale of agricultural products can be seen, the products are provided safely for consumers, are objectively and rapidly investigated when problems occur, induce a positive attitude with their historical information, and are supplied through systematic management such as consumers' rights to know and choose and recall of unfit products.
