Background:

1
Secure Tag-to-Reader Authentication Protocol for
RFID-enabled Supply Chains

• Findings Achievements
• Design secure tag-to-reader authentication
  protocols compatible with EPCglobal standard
• Strengthen security and privacy of EPC RFID
  tags, systems and EPCglobal network
• Design and develop an industry-targeted system
  prototype
• Potential Impacts and Industry Applications
• Next generation security standard for EPCglobal
  Network
• Secure and real-time tracking for supply chain
  partners
• Wide variety of industries inventory
  management, supply chain management,
  anti-counterfeiting, asset management, etc.

• Background
• Currently, few security mechanisms have been
  developed in EPCglobal Network to ensure that the
  tracking services are confidential, verifiable,
  and accountable in the presence of realistic and
  malicious attacks coming from corrupted supply
  chain partners. We propose to fundamentally
  strengthen the design of EPCglobal Network such
  that it can provide provably secure tracking
  services in the presence of a wide variety of
  attacks.
• Objective
• Build a unified security framework for EPCglobal
  Network services to extend the current EPCglobal
  Network standards to incorporate security
  features in a formal, flexible, and systematic
  manner.
• Provide a wide range of secure tracking
  techniques under our security framework for
  practical usage and to demonstrate the
  feasibility, performance, and value of our
  proposed techniques

Methodology A methodology of literature review,
analysis and prototyping approach is adopted in
the RD project. Literature review and analysis
is for understanding the state-of-art for
technology and solution design development. The
proof-of-concept developed is intended to demo
the fundamental security techniques and to target
specific industry applications.
