Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography: Raising Barriers to Product Counterfeiting / Edition 1

by Peter H. Cole, Damith C. Ranasinghe

Overview

This book consists of a collection of works on utilizing the automatic identification technology provided by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to address the problems of global counterfeiting of goods. The book presents current research, directed to securing supply chains against the efforts of counterfeit operators, carried out at the Auto-ID Labs around the globe. It assumes very little knowledge on the part of the reader on Networked RFID systems as the material provided in the introduction familiarizes the reader with concepts, underlying principles and vulnerabilities of modern RFID systems.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography: Raising Barriers to Product Counterfeiting is written to introduce readers to the new, complex and sometimes shadowy world of RFID cryptography. The book is divided into four sections, covering key aspects of the field. … The articles … present a generally comprehensive view of the issues and challenges facing RFID cryptographic technology developers and users. … for any enterprise considering the adoption of counterfeit-fighting RFID technology, Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography remains a valuable information resource." (Radio Frequency Identification Journal, August, 2008)
