A survey of RFID privacy approaches
A bewildering number of proposals have offered solutions to the privacy problems inherent in RFID communication. This article tries to give an overview of the currently discussed approaches and their attribute
Tampering in RFID: A Survey on Risks and Defenses
RFID is a well-known pervasive technology, which provides promising opportunities
for the implementation of new services and for the improvement of traditional
ones. However, pervasive environments require strong efforts on all the aspects
of information security. Notably, RFID passive tags are exposed to attacks, since strict
limitations affect the security techniques for this technology. A critical threat for RFIDbased
information systems is represented by data tampering, which corresponds to the
malicious alteration of data recorded in the tag memory. The aim of this paper is to describe
the characteristics and the effects of data tampering in RFID-based information
systems, and to survey the approaches proposed by the research community to protect
against it. The most important recent studies on privacy and security for RFID-based
systems are examined, and the protection given against tampering is evaluated. This
paper provides readers with an exhaustive overview on risks and defenses against data
tampering, highlighting RFID weak spots and open issues

A Privacy Preserving Framework for RFID Based Healthcare Systems
RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is anticipated to be a core technology that will be used in many practical applications of our life in near future. It has received considerable attention within the healthcare for almost a decade now. The technology’s promise to efficiently track hospital supplies, medical equipment, medications and patients is an attractive proposition to the healthcare industry. However, the prospect of wide spread use of RFID tags in the healthcare area has also triggered discussions regarding privacy, particularly because RFID data in transit may easily be intercepted and can be send to track its user (owner). In a nutshell, this technology has not really seen its true potential in healthcare industry since privacy concerns raised by the tag bearers are not properly addressed by existing identification techniques. There are two major types of privacy preservation techniques that are required in an RFID based healthcare system—(1) a privacy preserving authentication protocol is required while sensing RFID tags for different identification and monitoring purposes, and (2) a privacy preserving access control mechanism is required to restrict unauthorized access of private information while providing healthcare services using the tag ID. In this paper, we propose a framework (PriSens-HSAC) that makes an effort to address the above mentioned two privacy issues. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first framework to provide increased privacy in RFID based healthcare systems, using RFID authentication along with access control technique
