Constructing Enterprise Application Framework for Secure RFID Application Using SPKI/SDSI

RFID environment needs a standard architecture to exchange data smoothly in the heterogeneous networks. The architecture should offer efficient and secure standard environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an Enterprise Application Framework (EAF) which includes a standard communication protocols, security functions, and abstract level business processes. EAF uses SPKI/SDSI and GRBAC-based security since existing PKI technology has some limitations. Also it offers abstract class as well as concrete class to deal with a specific business, thus the domain programmer could construct their own specific programs efficiently and easily using the derived classes. The suggested framework is expected to provide secure management and software reuse in the dynamic RFID environments.
