RFID Security and Its Application

Dear Colleagues,

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has evolved over the last few decades due to developments in various domains including supply chain tracking, electronic toll collection, retailing stock management, entrance guard systems, tracking library books, etc. RFID applications focus on integrating tags and readers with the backend database for enhancing data processes and items tracing. However, due to the publicity of wireless communication channels, security and privacy concerns with RFID systems have become a key research area. This Special Issue aims to solicit state-of-the-art research articles on advanced technologies for RFID systems, which encompass all types of research activities such as the design, development, challenges and application/service models. Moreover, we invite researchers to contribute review articles that will showcase the continuing efforts that will lead to future improvements of RFID security and privacy.
