Security Issues of RFID Technology in Supply Chain Management

Abstract:

RFID can be used to automate and thus streamline identification processes, which means that more checkpoints along the supply chain can be established at decreased costs. Additionally, the technology can provide further benefits which make it superior to the currently widespread automatic identification (Auto-ID) technology of the barcode. However, there are still some security issues in the current RFID technology, which has initially been developed decades ago. In this paper, one RFID protocol for supply chain management RFID protocols has been proposed, and will greatly solve the security issues of the Auto-ID process.
