RFID Security & Privacy Lounge

The RFID Security and Privacy Lounge references technical works related to security and privacy in RFID systems published in journals, conference proceedings, technical reports, thesis, eprints, and books. It is maintained and updated roughtly monthly by the UCL's Information Security Group in Belgium headed by Gildas Avoine.

A mailing list associated with the website alerts the registered members when an update is performed. The alert may also contain some useful information like calls for papers related to RFID security and privacy. You can simply subscribe / unsubscribe to the mailing list using the Mailing list left menu. You can also suggest a missing paper by sending an email to Gildas Avoine.

Books

We reference below books strongly related to RFID security and privacy. We will be pleased to publish the summary of your book on this page if you send us a complementary copy of your book. Contact Gildas Avoine to do so.

RFID Security and Privacy

            

RFID Security and Privacy
Yingjiu Li, Robert H. Deng, Elisa Bertino
January 2014, 158 pages, Morgan & Claypool Publishers
ISBN: 978-1627053259

"As a fast-evolving new area, RFID security and privacy has quickly grown from a hungry infant to an energetic teenager during recent years. Much of the exciting development in this area is summarized in this book with rigorous analyses and insightful comments. In particular, a systematic overview on RFID security and privacy is provided at both the physical and network level. At the physical level, RFID security means that RFID devices should be identified with assurance in the presence of attacks, while RFID privacy requires that RFID devices should be identified without disclosure of any valuable information about the devices. At the network level, RFID security means that RFID information should be shared with authorized parties only, while RFID privacy further requires that RFID information should be shared without disclosure of valuable RFID information to any honest-but-curious server which coordinates information sharing. Not only does this book summarize the past, but it also provides new research results, especially at the network level. Several future directions are envisioned to be promising for advancing the research in this area."

RFID Systems: Research Trends and Challenges
Miodrag Bolic, David Simplot-Ryl, Ivan Stojmenovic (Eds.)
July 2010, 576 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 978-0-470-74602-8

"This book provides an insight into the 'hot' field of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Systems. In this book, the authors provide an insight into the field of RFID systems with an emphasis on networking aspects and research challenges related to passive Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID systems. The book reviews various algorithms, protocols and design solutions that have been developed within the area, including most recent advances. In addition, authors cover a wide range of recognized problems in RFID industry, striking a balance between theoretical and practical coverage. Limitations of the technology and state-of-the-art solutions are identified and new research opportunities are addressed. Finally, the book is authored by experts and respected researchers in the field and every chapter is peer reviewed. This book will be an invaluable guide for researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science, and researchers and developers in telecommunication industry." [Wiley].

User Control in Ubiquitous Computing: Design Alternatives and User Acceptance

User Control in Ubiquitous Computing: Design Alternatives and User Acceptance
Sarah Spiekermann
2008, 221 p.
ISBN-10: 3832270957
ISBN-13: 978-3832270957

This work presents a holistic discussion of Ubiquitous Computing and empirically investigates peoples’ cognitive attitudes, emotions, drivers and concerns vis-à-vis the new technologies. The maintenance of human control and privacy - a key adoption challenge of Ubiquitous Computing - is analysed in great detail and is set into relation to the positive promises of the new application landscape. A major emphasis of this work is put on the much-debated RFID technology and the technical alternatives that exist today to design privacy-friendly RFID environments. We apply sound empirical analysis and forecasting techniques to rigorously evaluate these alternatives with respect to future users and conclude with a roadmap on how to build privacy sensitive RFID mass-market applications.

RFID Handbook: Fundamentals and Applications in Contactless Smart Cards, Radio Frequency Identification and Near-Field Communication
3rd Edition
Klaus Finkenzeller
2010, 478 p.
ISBN-10: 0470695064
ISBN-13: 978-0470695067

"This is the third revised edition of the established and trusted RFID Handbook; the most comprehensive introduction to radio frequency identification (RFID) available. This essential new edition contains information on electronic product code (EPC) and the EPC global network, and explains near-field communication (NFC) in depth. It includes revisions on chapters devoted to the physical principles of RFID systems and microprocessors, and supplies up-to-date details on relevant standards and regulations. Taking into account critical modern concerns, this handbook provides the latest information on: (1) the use of RFID in ticketing and electronic passports; (2) the security of RFID systems, explaining attacks on RFID systems and other security matters, such as transponder emulation and cloning, defence using cryptographic methods, and electronic article surveillance; (3) frequency ranges and radio licensing regulations. The text explores schematic circuits of simple transponders and readers, and includes new material on active and passive transponders, ISO/IEC 18000 family, ISO/IEC 15691 and 15692. It also describes the technical limits of RFID systems. A unique resource offering a complete overview of the large and varied world of RFID, Klaus Finkenzeller’s volume is useful for end-users of the technology as well as practitioners in auto ID and IT designers of RFID products. Show More Klaus Finkenzeller was awarded the Fraunhofer-Smart Card Prize 2008 for the second edition of this publication, which was celebrated for being an outstanding contribution to the smart card field."
