A survey on attacks in RFID networks

Abstract

Today, RFID applications are going to be ubiquitous and an importance of security and privacy of these applications are increasing day by day. By considering security and privacy issues in RFID systems, it is necessary to identify different attacks on RFID and propose appropriate countermeasures to reduce the effect of these attacks. At the first part of this research, RFID architecture is introduced. Next, different existing attacks which threat security and privacy of RFID applications are described. Finally, existing countermeasures that are proposed by different researchers are discussed.
