Abstract

Out of three types of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags, passive tags are widely used as they are cheaper and long-lasting. However, those tags are bounded with constraints, and also there is no acceptable method to manage the changing hands of the same tagged-product throughout the product lifecycle. Therefore, ensuring security and privacy of RFID tagged-products during the product-lifecycle has become crucial. This paper proposes a method named POP (Product-flow with Ownership-transferring Protocol), which consists of robust communication protocol and anonymous-ownership transferring mechanism to securely manage the changing hands of the same tagged-products and to control the behaviors of tags throughout the product lifecycle. Furthermore, the proposed method alleviates the risks by providing the controlling power of communication to the tagged-products' owners and also by introducing a long-term security maintenance technique. Thus, the POP method comprehensively ensures the privacy and security in RFID tagged-products used throughout the product lifecycle.
