In recent years, radio frequency identification technology has moved into the mainstream applications that help to speed up handling of manufactured goods and materials.However, the low-cost RFID tags are facing new challenges to security and privacy. Some solutions utilizes expensive cryptographic primitives such as hash or encryption functions, and some lightweight approaches have been reported to be not secure. This book describes a lightweight Mutual authentication and ownership transfer protocol utilizing minimalistic cryptography using Physically Unclonable Functions (PUF) and Linear...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are a common and useful tool in managing the devices or objects. RFID is a contactless technology; it considered the way to replace the barcode, since the barcode is data read with line of sight and limits the utility for item-level of logistic and supply chain application in the future. Due to advances in silicon manufacturing technology, RFID costs have dropped significantly. In the near future, low-cost RFID "electronic product codes" or "smart-labels" may be practical replacement for optical barcodes on consumer items. Unfortunately, the...
