Security Threats and Countermeasures in the Internet of Things Based on RFID

Abstract

Nowadays, the internet of things (IOT) has attracted the attention of the researchers. As a key technology of the Internet of Things, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has also attracted the interest of industry and academia. One of the most important issues for the applications of the IOT based on RFID is security. In order to promote the development of IOT based on RFID, first of all, we briefly introduce the IOT system components and work process based on RFID, and then we deeply analyze the security threats in the IOT based on RFID, by the means of these analysis we discuss the current countermeasures for the security threats of RFID. Aiming at the RFID system, the corresponding technologies are raised such as Tag killing, Tag sleeping and blocker Tag; and the authentication based on HASH is the main method aiming at the communication process.
