Towards a Trusted Mobile RFID Network Framework

Abstract

Although the mobile RFID system has various applications in Internet of Things(IoT), it has a limited communication range and raises some serious privacy and security problems. To improve the issuers above, we propose a new mobile RFID network framework based on security and privacy protection. In the framework, we design a Reader Network using ad hoc mechanism, that readers with short communication range could extend their communication distance for meeting more application service requirement. Meanwhile, we introduce TPM(Trusted Platform Module) to reader node to ensure the security and privacy of node and give the detailed trusted and privacy mechanisms based on TPM. These mechanisms ensure the node secure and privacy.
