Abstract

Mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) has been extensively applied in a wide range of fields. In supply chain management, RFID is used to more efficiently manage the ownership transfer of cargo. The transfer of a group of tags belonging to multiple owners is often required at the front end of a supply chain. This study, therefore, proposes a secure, high-performance threshold multi-owner partial tag ownership transfer protocol that supports a mobile RFID environment and features the capabilities and security required for supporting existing ownership transfer environments (e.g., application for different authorities, designation of the transfer target, and ownership transfer of a group of tags). Moreover, the proposed protocol can resist against most of the known attacks on RFID.

Highlights

  • Mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) is a combination of a wireless network, mobile telecommunication technology, and RFID systems [1,2]

  • This study proposes a secure, high-performance multi-owner partial ownership transfer protocol to overcome the problems concerning the performance of existing multi-owner tag ownership transfer methods and address the security threats and privacy concerns that may arise in the process of ownership transfer

  • The present study proposes a secure, high-performance multi-owner partial tag ownership transfer
