Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is an automatic identification technology that uses radio frequency to identify objects. Securing RFID systems and providing privacy in RFID applications has been the focus of much academic work lately. To ensure universal acceptance of RFID…
The goal of this thesis is to develop statistical and learning algorithms for the design, analysis, measurement, and modeling of networking and security systems with specific focus on RFID systems, network performance metrics, user security, and software security. Next, I give a…
Checking the integrity of groups containing radio frequency identification (RFID) tagged objects or recovering the tag identifiers of missing objects is important in many activities. Several autonomous checking methods have been proposed for increasing the capability of recoveri…
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are being used in numerous applications such as transportation ticketing, animal tracking, supply chain management, medical records, electronic passports and identity cards. These systems consist of three main components, namely: ser…
Near field Communication is a short-range wireless technology based on RFID standard ISO 18092, ISO 14443 and ISO 15693. This means, it provided compatibility with the millions of contactless smartcards and RFID scanners that already exist worldwide. NFC is now available on the …
In the current manufacturing environment, characterized by diverse change sources (e.g. economical, technological, political, social) and integrated supply chains, success demands close cooperation and coordination between stakeholders and agility. Tools and systems based on sof…
An essential factor adversely affecting the performance of construction projects is the improper handling of materials during site activities. Materials management is made problematic by materials shortages, delays in supply, price fluctuations, damage and wastage, and lack of s…
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is rapidly being adopted as a powerful tool used in object tracking[1, 2, 3, 4], access control[5], telemedicine[6, 7] and inventory management[8, 9]. Its basic architecture endows reader devices with the capability to wirelessly read stored…
Meander-line and multi-layer antennas have been used extensively to design compact UHF radio frequency identification (RFID) tags; however the overall size reduction of meander-line antennas is limited by the amount of parasitic inductance that can be introduced by each meander-…
Radio Frequency Identification, RFID, is a type of automatic identification system which has gained popularity in recent years for being fast and reliable in keeping track of individual objects. Due to limited available resources in RFID tags, providing privacy and security for …
