Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are expected to be widely deployed in automated identification and supply-chain applications. Although RFID systems have several advantages, the technology may also create new threats to user privacy. In this paper, we propose the Fair RFID system. This involves improving the security and privacy of existing RFID systems while keeping in line with procedures already accepted by the industrial world. The proposed system enables the protection of users’ privacy from unwanted scanning, and, when necessary, is conditionally traceable to the tag by authorized administrators.
