Dynamic Privacy Protection for Mobile RFID Service

Abstract

Recently, mobile RFID has been studied actively as a primary technology in computing environments. The mobile RFID service is defined as a special type of mobile service using RFID tag packaging objects and RFID readers attached to mobile RFID terminals. While the mobile RFID system has many advantages, it may make new intrusions to the user’s privacy. We propose the policy-based dynamic privacy protection framework leveraging globally mobile RFIDs. In this paper, we describe privacy infringements for the mobile RFID service environment and requirements for personal privacy protection, and develop privacy protection service based on a user privacy policy. The proposed framework provides a means for securing the stability of mobile RFID services by suggesting personal privacy-policy-based access control for personalized tags. This means a technical solution to privacy protection for the mobile RFID service system.
