RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a next generation technology that will replace barcode. RFID can identify an object by reading ID inside a RFID tag using radio frequency. However, because a RFID tag replies its unique ID to the request of any reader through wireless communication, it is vulnerable to attacks on security or privacy through wiretapping or an illegal reader's request. The RFID authentication protocol has been studied actively in order to solve security and privacy problems, and is used also in tag search. Recently, as the number of tags is increasing in RFTD systems and the cost of data collection is also rising, the importance of effective tag search is increasing. This study proposed an efficient search method that solved through ta9 group the problem of large volume of database computation in Miyako Ohkubo's hash chain mechanism, which meets requirements for security and privacy protection. When we searched first the group of tags with access rate of 5 or higher in a database with 100,000 records, search time decreased by around 30%.

RFID/USN core technologies for ubiquitous computing, It is possible to use variety of sensors, direct processors, and wireless network technology that easily collect the actual physical environment and can monitor information remotely. Especially the healthcare industry and services combined with U-Healthcare that have international competitiveness in the medical field. But the USN, standard management system of RFID such as EPCglobal architecture framework, the lack of interoperability issues and the global sensor network implementation. In this paper, a system for managing sensor nodes of the USN, USN of SIP-based management system (UMS) is proposed. UMS support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), provide session management and mobility capabilities, that is based on Internet standard protocol. UMS architecture of the existing SIP architecture, added USN User Agent (UUA) and the USN Name Server (UNS) that the location of sensor nodes should be possible to trace. UUA on behalf of the limited capacity of the location of the sensor nodes to perform the registration process, UNS to track the location of the sensor nodes to provide name resolution services. The proposed management system has the advantage of internet applications such as Web services interoperability and easy to recycle existing resources with other SIP-based because it uses the Internet standard protocol SIP. In this paper we propose is based on the UMS blood temperature management system is verified through the scenario.

Standard about OID(Object Identifier) to implement on Internet is discussed at ITU-T, ISO/IEC. The OID should be stored and searched for object on Internet, which is called 'ORS(OID Resolution System)'. The ORS is made by international standard for identifying RFID code types, and in the future would be discussed for USN, u-Health, etc. Therefore, this paper describes the current status of the international standard discussing ORS concept, system structure and protocol, the present issue of the ORS used for RFID and the method for USN services.

RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, technology is a contactless automatic identification technology using radio frequency. For this RFID technology to be widely spread, the problem of multiple tag identification, which a reader identifies a multiple number of tags in a very short time, has to be solved. Up to the present, many anti-collision algorithms have been developed in order to solve this problem, and those can be largely divided into ALOHA based algorithm and tree based algorithm. In this paper, two new anti-collision algorithms combining the characteristics of these two categories are presented. And the performances of the two algorithms are compared and evaluated in comparison with those of typical anti-collision algorithms: 18000-6 Type A, Type B, Type C, and query tree algorithm.

Radiofrequency(RF) signal is a key medium to the most of the present wireless communication devices including RF identification devices(RFID) and smart sensors. However, the most critical barrier to overcome in RFID application is in the failure rate in detection. The most notable improvement in the detection was from the introduction of EPC Class1 Gen2 protocol, but the fundamental problems in the physical properties of the RF signal drew less attention. In this work, we focused on the physical properties of the RF signal in order to understand the failure rate by noting the existence of the ground planes and noise sources in the real environment. By using the mathematical computation software, Maple, we simulated the distribution of the electromagnetic field from a dipole antenna when ground planes exist. Calculations showed that the dark area can be formed by interference. We also constructed a test system to measure the failure rate in the detection of a RFID transponder. The test system was composed of a fixed RFID reader and an EPC Class1 Gen2 transponder which was attached to a scanner to sweep in the x-y plane. Labview software was used to control the x-y scanner and to acquire data. Tests in the laboratory environment showed that the dark area can be as much as 43 %. One who wants to use RFID and smart sensors should carefully consider the extent of the dark area.

저가화, 소형화, 지능화되고 있는 RFID 칩은 조달, 국방, 우편, 교육, 문화, 교통 및 환경 등의 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 RFID를 생명공학의 핵심기술인 PCR 기술을 수행하는 Thermal Cycler에 도입하였다. 이는 사용자가 RFID 리더기를 장착한 Thermal Cycler 장비에 본인의 RFID 태그를 인식시켜 별도의 login을 하지 않고도 실험에 쓰인 protocol에 손쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 사용자 본인의 RFID 태그를 사용하기 때문에 같은 장비를 사용하는 다른 사용자나 제 3의 인물로부터 실험내용을 보호함으로써 보안성을 높일 수 있다.

To guarantee security between the tag and back-end server and implementation efficiency in low power tag, we propose two typed mutual authentication protocols in RFID system. One is static-ID authentication scheme which is well suitable in distributed server environments. The other is dynamic-ID scheme which is additively satisfied forward security. In proposed scheme, it does not need any random number generator in tag and requires only one(maximally three) hash operation(s) in tag or server to authenticate each other. Furthermore, we implement the proposed schemes in RFID smart card system and verify its normal operations.

It has been estimated that 'RFID' technology would be playing an important role in the incoming ubiquitous environment. For this reason, many studies on 'RFID' have been conducted and its application has been on the increase in various fields such as finance, medicine, transportation and culture as well as in logistics distribution. However, the communication between Tag and Reader in RFID system has been conducted by wireless communication of radio frequency so that the information on identification could be eavesdropped by the third party maliciously. Such eavesdropped information could be also used as basic information in attacking others; in this regard, it could impair the privacy of its users and the users have avoided using 'RFID.' To solve theses problems, many studies are being performed to different output of tags by renewing ID. However, protocols have been devised without considering an ID Synchronization in the ID renewal process between database and tag in the existing studies. In this regard, this study has suggested a RFID Authentication Protocol while considering the ID Synchronization.

EPCglobal has proposed the EPC Sensor Network to efficiently integrate and interoperate the RFID and WSN technologies based on the international standard EPCglobal Network. However, it can not deal with the sensor data without EPS. Also, it does not provide enough management function for the sensor data only. This study proposes USN management system that can deal with these weaknesses of EPC Sensor Network. Not only that, it is suitable for the medical environment properly. In the medical environment, it is important for the medical information to be integrated and interconnected via the standard for medical data. This proposed USN management system is based on SIP-HL 7 and can send RFID and WSN data based on SIP(Session Initiation Protocol). It can be interconnected with the existing hospital information system and exchange the information. Also it can design and materialize SIP Interface based on HL7 that allows the medical information to be exchanged and sent.
