RFID Systems, Security & Privacy Implications

Overview The Auto-ID Center is developing low-cost radio frequency identification (RFID) based systems with the initial application as next generation bar-codes. The common theme in low-cost RFID systems is that computation resources are very limited, and all aspects of the RFID system are connected to each other. Understanding these connections and the resulting design trade-offs is an important prerequisite to effectively answering the challenges of security and privacy in low-cost RFID systems. The purpose of this paper is to explain the technology, the challenges, and the opportunities ubiquitous RFID systems present to the security and privacy communities.
