Abstract
Future RFID technology is moving towards integration with other systems. The integration of RFID with other systems is advantageous to users by taking advantage of its unique contactless communication ability for numerous sectors of the community. Unfortunately, this special ability of RFID system is vulnerable because the tag can be tracked by adversary who could then exploit and abuse its data and location information which leads to breach in privacy. Past works on privacy-preserving RFID protocols have dealt with lots of issues regarding trust and availability. In this paper, we take a slightly different approach and we emphasize on the importance of trust and privacy. We believe that data anonymity must be strengthened with integrity verification in every platform to avoid any untrusted platform from becoming threat to others. One such threat could be in the form of adversary making use of the privacy-preserving technique to hide its real identity. We believe that integrity verification which establishment trust for the system is crucial. Since trust and privacy are usually contradictory in their mechanisms, so we need to harmonize them to effectively protect user data. Therefore, we propose a hybrid technique for establishment of trust and privacy in RFID system. We also do a proof of concept experiment on trust and privacy on our proposed model.
