Sanjay Emani Sarma, Stephen A. Weis, Daniel W. Engels · 2003
Low-cost Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags affixed to consumer items as “smartlabels” may emerge as one of the most pervasive computing technologies in history. While RFID systems can yield great productivity gains, they may also expose new threats to the security and privacy of both individuals and organizations. This article gives a brief introduction to RFID technology and describes potential security and privacy risks. We present several challenges to providing desired security properties in the unique setting of low-cost RFID devices and identify several areas for future research. II.
