From identification to authentication - A review of RFID product authentication techniques

Abstract

Authentication has an important role in many RFID applications for providing security and privacy. In this paper we focus on investigating how RFID can be used in product authentication in supply chain applications and a review of existing approaches is provided. The different categories of RFID product authentication approaches are analyzed within the context of anticounterfeiting and fields where future research is needed are identified. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
