Abstract

Security and privacy threats in technological environment are great hindrances to use latest technologies for our benefits. Such threats also exist in RFID systems which are currently utilized to a great extent in ubiquitous communication. These systems can also work in combination with cellular networks to control user´s physical objects in a secure way with sufficient privacy. This paper presents a secure system model which enables a user to control his possessions even sitting remotely from the objects´ locations. The limitations of RFID tags are taken into account and it is shown that the system mitigates many threats keeping the privacy of the tags and the user intact.
