Confronting Security and Privacy Threats in Modern RFID Systems

The modern form of RFID technology that is set to dominate is that enabled by low cost RFID technology. This paper presents an overview of the technological aspects vital to illuminating associated security and privacy threats The paper also describes a simple security model and briefly considers some of the vulnerabilities faced by such low cost RFID systems. Finally the authors would like to extend preliminary work published on a minimalist encryption method first published in [26] and [27].
