The problem of privacy is considered one of the main concerns to deploy RFID applications. In this paper, we propose methods to change a tag state and assign a master leader for the protection of privacy. By changing a tag state, we can limit the range for the information retrieval of the tag to all leaders or a specific leader (mater leader). Whenever the owner of a tag changes, with the master leader assignment method for the tag, we can make only the master leader get the information for the tag. With the proposed methods, it is expected that the privacy problems can be solved by preventing the private information of tags that persons have from being exposed by illegal leaders.

Recently, study on RFID Tag Searching technique which is used to find a specific tag in particular tag group were developed continuously. RFID tag searching technique can be applicate in various fields such as product management, finding children, and electronic anklet. To implement a RFID tag search system, RFID tag searching protocol should be considered various security threats such as reader and tag tracking, privacy, etc. For implementing a safe RFID tag lookup system, it is important to consider the potential security threats such as the tag tracking problem, and the privacy of the owner of the tag reader problem. There exists an RFID tag lookup system that satisfies a few security requirements, but the privacy of the owner of the tag reader problem has still been left unsolved, and even if it were solved, it requires a considerable amount of cryptographic operations to be performed which results in a decrease in performance. This paper proposes a system that does not degrade the performance while solving the privacy of the owner of the tag reader problem.

RFID tag search system which is used to find a specific tag has an application such as asset management, supply chain, and this search scheme has been given much attention so far. In RFID tag search system, especially, mobility of the reader is important in order to search tags. Therefore, even though the handheld reader cannot connect with the central database because of unreliable wireless connection or remote location, handheld reader should search the specific tag without help of the central database. In addition, in RFID tag search system, users hold not the tag but the reader, the privacy of users should be considered. Since the signal strength of the reader is stronger than that of the tag, the privacy of the reader holder is very important. Recently, in order to solve these problems, a number of RFID tag search schemes have been proposed. However, since these schemes did not consider the privacy of reader holders, there are serious privacy breaches of reader holders. In this paper, we propose efficient RFID tag search protocol for passive tags. Our proposed scheme preserves the privacy of reader holders.

Most of the sources of security and privacy issues in RFID technology arise from the violation of the air interface between a tag and its reader. This paper will approach the security risk analysis is process from the perspective of the RFID tag life cycle, identify the tag usage processes, identify the associated vulnerability and threat to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information assets and its implications for privacy, and then mitigate the risks.

In this paper, we have proposed a privacy protection RFID system using random number based ID allocation. Currently, there are rising issues about privacy violation in RFID system. This issues caused by tracking the ID of tag which present unique identity of tag. The proposed system dynamically allocates random basis ID to tag, then the tag can not be traced. The random ID allocation procedures of this system can be operate in cryptographic mode or normal(non-cryptographic) mode. This system can be applied to privacy protected customer tracking RFID system in mesa-outlet stores which tracing customer's moving path.

In ubiquitous computing environment, An RFID system will be the important way that recognizing an object instead of Bar-code system. But a privacy infringement problem is predicted between a tag and leader to be serious. There is many difficulty that just uses an existing research method because it has an Hardware restriction. Therefore we will suggest that A RFID Privacy Protect system using Hareware friendly security algorithm. we will use RC5 and CBC_MAC because the tag has hardware restriction .To implement, We will simulate and test on One chip microprcessor environment. In the result of the experiment, We will know that a suggested system solves privacy problem on RFID system that it was using CBC-MAC and RC5 security algorithm.

In 2010, Pedro et al. proposed RFID distance bounding protocol based on WSBC cryptographic puzzle. This paper points out that Pedro et al.'s protocol not only is vulnerable to tag privacy invasion attack and location tracking attack because an attacker can easily obtain the secret key(ID) of a legal tag from the intercepted messages between the reader and the tag, but also requires heavy computation by performing symmetric key operations of the resource limited passive tag and many communication rounds between the reader and the tag. Moreover, to resolve the security weakness and the computation/communication efficiency problems, this paper also present a new RFID distance bounding protocol based on WSBC cryptographic puzzle that can provide strong security and high efficiency. As a result, the proposed protocol not only provides computational and communicational efficiency because it requires secure one-way hash function for the passive tag and it reduces communication rounds, but also provides strong security because both tag and reader use secure one-way hash function to protect their exchanging messages.

The RFID system provides undeniable advantages so that it is used for various application. However recent RFID system is vulnerable to some attacks as eavesdropping, replay attack, message hijacking, and tag tampering, because the messages are transmitted through the wireless channel and the tags are cheap. Above attacks cause the tag and reader impersonation, denial of service by invalidating tag, and the location tracking concerning bearer of tags, A lot of RFID authentication protocol bas been proposed to solve the vulnerability. Since Weis, Sanna, Rivest, and Engel, proposed the bash-based RFID authentication protocol, many researchers have improved hash-based authentication protocol and recent bash-based authentication protocols provide security and desirable privacy. However, it remains open problem to reduce the tag identification time as long as privacy and security are still guaranteed. Here we propose a new protocol in which the tags generate the message depending on the state of previous communitions between tag and reader. In consequence, our protocol allows a server to identify a tag in a reasonable amount of time while ensuring security and privacy, To be specific, we reduced the time for the server to identify a tag when the last session finished abnormally by at least 50% compared with other bash-based schemes that ensure levels of security and privacy similar to ours.

The choice of RFID system is recently progressing(being) rapidly at various field. For the sake of RFID system popularization, However, We should solve privacy invasion to gain the pirated information of RFID tag. There is the safest M Ohkubos's skill among preexistent studying to solve these problems. But, this skill has a problem that demands a immense calculation capability caused an increase in tag number when we discriminate tags. So, This paper proposes the way of transplant to Grid environment for keeping Privacy Protection up and reducing the Tag Identification Time. And, We propose the Tag Identification Process Model to apply Even Division Algorithm to separate SP with same site in each node. If the proposed model works in Grid environment at once, it would reduce the time to identify tags to 1/k.
