Abstract:
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are used to automatically identify objects by using radio waves transmitted between readers and tagged objects. While the RFID technology has numerous potential applications in healthcare, military, commerce, to list a few, it raises many security and privacy risks and concerns due to the wireless transmission for data between the tag and the reader. Additionally, the limited computational power of the tag is usually insufficient to apply robust security measure.. In this paper, we will discuss the main RFID privacy and security threats and their countermeasures. Our emphasis will be on RFID usages in smart spaces such as smart hospitals and how to maintain the privacy of subjects in the systems including doctors, nurses and patients.
