Adopting RFID technology is an emerging trend in industry as it enables product information to be collected, shared, and managed in real time. However, the RFID technology has also triggered significant security concerns as industry espionage may eavesdrop on wireless RFID communications and launch active attacks. To address the security concerns in RFID applications, we created the RFID Security Lab on August 1, 2008. Since then, we have been conducting comprehensive research on RFID system security, including

 

Mechanisms for joint work: collaborate in RFID security and privacy research; provide industry requirements and participate in user testing for the development of practical RFID information platforms.

 

Mechanisms for financial & resource support: Resources for supporting research engineers; resources for equipment.
