Enhancing Security of EPCglobal Gen-2 RFID Tag against Traceability and Cloning

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is envisioned as a replacement for Barcode counterpart and expected to be massively deployed in the near future. The advantage of RFID system over barcode system includes many-to-many communication (i.e., one tag can be read by many readers and one reader can read many tags at once), wireless data transmission (versus optical communication, thus requiring light-of-sight, in case of Barcode) and its computing nature.
