Kulseng et al. have proposed several lightweight secure search protocols for low-cost systems: the basic protocol and the synchronisation-based protocol. To attack these two protocols successfully, the adversary needs to eavesdrop on the communication channel between reader and tag, and intercept and tamper with the exchanged messages. We show that the basic protocol cannot resist the tracking attack. The synchronisation-based protocol is vulnerable to the tracking attack and a kind of desynchronisation attack.

To accelerate the information flow and accomplish real-time updated information is the major concern of the bottom-up approach. With assistance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a quick response monitoring system is proposed. Even so, the visibility of the supply chain information is only supportive in development stage and not further tested explicitly in practice. Therefore, an RFID-enabled simulation will be explored and show our proposed approach in boosting the visibility of information and reducing the uncertainty existed in supply chain management. Finally, a rule-based supply chain process performance monitoring mechanism will be presented in this research; it will monitor the real-time physical flows between nodes continuously, and provide performance indicators of all levels of process.

There it can be applied to leave a virtual trace on writeable RFID tags. These applications use RFID in a different way, because the tags are stationary and related to each other, since each tag of the path points to the following one. This offers the possibility to develop more efficient algorithms for their detection. In this paper, we suggest to store the identifying masks of subsequent tag IDs on the tags. The approach can easily be used with query-tree anti-collision methods. We examine the requirements for such an approach and describe a concrete algorithm, which is simulated and compared with different anti-collision algorithms.

This technique is well adapted to the depositing of thin layers with good electrical properties directly on paper. This process helps to reduce the required amount of metal and the number of manufacturing stages in the realisation of RFID labels. The coil antenna consists of a thin aluminium layer evaporated through a masking system. The low thickness of metal that grows during thermal evaporation presents a good metal conductivity. After the RFID chip bonding, the tags are perfectly operational. We have developed the theoretical aspect related to the parameter thickness of the layer deposited as well as the simulation of the transponder. Technological processes implemented to carry out the transponder are then described. The electrical characterisations of the tags are presented and their good performance is illustrated.
