Synopsis

The book consists of a collection of works on utilising the automatic identification technology provided by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to address the problems of global counterfeiting of goods. The book presents current research, directed to securing supply chains against the efforts of counterfeit operators, carried out at the Auto-ID Labs around the globe. The collection of works and the organisation of the book assume very little knowledge on the part of the reader on Networked RFID systems as the material provided in the introduction familiarises the reader with concepts, underlying principles and vulnerabilities of modern RFID systems. The collection of works presented on highlighting the counterfeiting problem and problems with existing low cost RFID technology is an important guide to practitioners, professionals and graduates in the area of RFID systems application, implementation and integration.

About this title

Review:

"Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography: Raising Barriers to Product Counterfeiting is written to introduce readers to the new, complex and sometimes shadowy world of RFID cryptography. The book is divided into four sections, covering key aspects of the field. ... The articles ... present a generally comprehensive view of the issues and challenges facing RFID cryptographic technology developers and users. ... for any enterprise considering the adoption of counterfeit-fighting RFID technology, Networked RFID Systems and Lightweight Cryptography remains a valuable information resource." --Radio Frequency Identification Journal, August, 2008

From the Back Cover:

This book considers the methods used by illicit manufactures and traders to introduce counterfeit goods into the supply chain, the extent of their success, the various barriers that may be brought against their actions, and the effectiveness of those barriers. The new field of lightweight cryptography is described in the context of using RFID systems in the fight against counterfeit products, its cost effectiveness is examined and feasible approaches to its deployment are described. Research problems and likely avenues for solutions are also presented to guide a global effort in anti-counterfeiting.
