Abstract :
RFID is one of the enabling technologies of the Internet of Things. RFID has the potential to enable machines to identify objects, understand their status, and communicate and take action if necessary, to create "real time awareness." The pervasiveness of RFID technology has given rise to a number of serious issues including security and privacy concerns. This paper will discuss current RFID usage issues and conduct a threat analysis of the RFID system components then identify issues/risks and elucidate how these issues can be resolved or risks can be mitigated.
