| Abstract | Over the past few decades, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has been an important factor in securing products along the agri-food supply chain. However, there still exist security vulnerabilities when registering products to a specific RFID tag, particularly regarding the ease at which tags can be cloned. In this paper, a potential attack, labeled the "Hilt Shao attack", is identified which could occur during the initial phases of product registration, and demonstrate the type of attack using UID and CUID tags. Furthermore, a system is proposed using blockchain technology in order for the attacker to hide the cloned tag information. Results show that this attack, if carried out, can negate the profits of distributors along the supply chain, and negatively affect the consumer. |
