A Novel RFID Based Anti-Counterfeiting Scheme For Retailer Environment

This book investigates the use of RFID technologies to develop anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft solutions that can be deployed in retail environments. Through a detailed review of literature and analysis of methods proposed by other researchers, in this work a combination of security protocols and frameworks that provide a comprehensive anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft system for retailer market and supply chain management is proposed. The proposed system will address those two issues and provide a solution that can result in significant benefits for retailers due to the reduction of revenue loss due to counterfeiting. The proposed protocols have been designed to be lightweight and suitable for implementation on low-cost passive RFID tags making them ideal for large-scale and cost-effective implementation across a range of industry sectors. The proposed protocols have been designed to address identified weaknesses in previous schemes and also shown through formal methods to be provably secure. This book was dedicated to the people who are mentioned in the dedication section who helped the author to achieve this.
