A research on Denial of Service attack in passive RFID system

As RFID technology being applied more and more widely, its security and privacy problems are increasingly called into question. Means of RFID attack emerge in endlessly and RFID security becomes a relatively new research area. This paper makes research on one of the attack methods — Denial of Service (DoS). We thoroughly expound and analyze the active jamming to the RFID system which, mentioned as Active Jamming Attack later, is a form of DoS. Through theoretical derivation and simulation, the most effective active jamming approach is summarized, which is also demonstrated by presenting experimental results. This work may provide a reference for RFID designers to prevent or weaken this type of DoS attacks to the greatest extent.
