Privacy protection for secure mobile RFID service

Abstract

Widespread deployment of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags may create new threats to user privacy due to the automated tracking capability. Recently, RFID technology shows a convergence tendency. RFID reader is contained in a mobile phone. User privacy problem is a prior consideration for mobile RFID service deployment, since most mobile RFID service scenario is based on end-user service. In this paper, we propose a new solution for user privacy protection, which is a modification of EPC Class-1 Generation-2 protocol. Furthermore, we introduce a privacy protection scenario for mobile RFID service using this proposed scheme.
