Discovering Suppliers’ Customers by means of Statistical Disclosure Attacks

This paper analyses the vulnerability of a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) equipped distribution centre (DC) of a supply chain against the Statistical Disclosure Attack (SDA).We built a simulation model to assess the success probabilities of the attack against differently configured distribution centres and attackers.The success probability of an SDA against a DC varies, depending on the organization of the DC, as well as on the number of customers and their structure.The success probability decreases if a supplier delivers multiple products to a customer in a single round, as well as if the fraction of observed deliveries by the attacker falls below a certain threshold.
