Abstract

RFID provides the basis for the development of ubiquitous computing. This ever present computing environment creates new exploitable channels for adversaries. Therefore, numerous publications on RFID security appear every year, adding to the topic’s diversity. Nevertheless, there are only few state-of-the-art overviews that clarify common opinions on the topic. Hence, we examined the existing literature and present our observations on privacy and security in RFID.
