Dependability issues become more and more significant in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) development and especially in critical domains. However, Operations of reading, detection of readers, and measurements of sensors in a RFID system are inevitably subjected to errors. These factors degrade the overall dependability of RFID systems. The authors study the Fault Tolerance in RFID systems as a means to ensure the dependability. The authors propose to perform a statistical analysis on the RFID tags data, using a confidence interval, at the level of the middleware enabling the detection of erroneous readers and sensors.

In the traditional RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) system, a secure wired channel communication is used between the reader and the server. The newly produced mobile RFID system is different from the traditional RFID system, the communication between the reader and the server is based on a wireless channel, and the authentication protocol is suitable for traditional RFID systems, but it cannot be used in mobile RFID systems. To solve this problem, a mutual authentication protocol MSB (Most Significant Bit) for super lightweight mobile radio frequency identification system is proposed based on bit replacement operation. MSB is a bitwise operation to encrypt information and reduce the computational load of communication entities. Label, readers, and servers authenticate first and then communicate, MSB may be used to resistant to common attacks. The security analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has high security properties, the performance analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has the characteristics of low computational complexity, the formal analysis of the protocol based on GNY logic Gong et al. (1990) provides a rigorous reasoning proof process for the protocol.

In this chapter, we discuss the business implications, as well as security and privacy issues, of the widespread deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. We first describe, in more detail, the components that make up an RFID system to facilitate better understanding of the implications of each, and then review the commercial applications of the RFID. We then discuss the security and privacy issues for RFID systems and what mechanisms have been proposed to safeguard these. The topics discussed in this chapter highlight the benefits of using RFIDs for user convenience in ubiquitous and pervasive commercial services and e-businesses, while maintaining the integrity of such systems against malicious attacks on the users’ security and privacy. This is vital for a business establishment to coexist with peers and remain competitively attractive to customers.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that has grown in popularity and in the applications of use. However, there are major issues regarding security and privacy with respect to RFID technology which have caught the interest of many researchers. There are significant challenges which must be overcome to resolve RFID security and privacy issues. One reason is the constraints attached to the provision of security and privacy in RFID systems. Along with meeting the security and privacy needs of RFID technology, solutions must be inexpensive, practical, reliable, scalable, flexible, inter-organizational, and long-lasting. To make RFID identifiers effective and efficient they must identify the item(s) while resisting attacks aimed at obtaining the tag’s information and compromising the system or making it possible to bypass the protection RFID tags are supposed to provide. Different authentication methods have been proposed, researched, and evaluated in the literature. In this work, we proposed our methodology in evaluating RFID authentication, and a few of the most promising authentication methods are reviewed, compared, and ranked in order to arrive at a possible best choice of protocol to use.

This paper focuses on an electronic toll collection (ETC) system using radio frequency identification technology (RFID). Research on ETC was started in 1992, during which RFID tags began to be widely used in vehicles to automate toll processes. The proposed RFID system uses tags that are mounted on the windshields of vehicles, through which information embedded on the tags are read by RFID readers. This eliminates the need for motorists and toll authorities to manually perform ticket payments and toll fee collection. The Data of each vehicle crossing the toll gate is stored in the website. A LCD screen is also provided for user convenience.The toll Gate arena is monitored by means of a camera at all times. Data information are also easily exchanged between the motorists and toll authorities, thereby enabling a more efficient toll collection by reducing traffic jams and eliminating possible human errors.


This paper discourses about a very general problem that occurs in everyday life. In many universities, students are at risk of misplacement or theft of valuables. So, to avoid such mis happening, the development of security system was designed for providing the safety of university student belongings. The proposed security system contains some common information, methodology, schematics and some details related to technical field that is employed into the system, such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and barcode readers along with the design of the established system. For the functioning of the system in a most effectively manner, assumptions with some specific requirements that is needed to be met are encompassed in this paper
