Safeguarding Backscatter RFID Communication against Proactive Eavesdropping. ICC 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC). :1–6.
Passive radio frequency identification (RFID) systems raise new transmission secrecy protection challenges against the special proactive eavesdropper, since it is able to both enhance the information wiretap and interfere with the information detection at the RFID reader simultaneously by broadcasting its own continuous wave (CW) signal. To defend against proactive eavesdropping attacks, we propose an artificial noise (AN) aided secure transmission scheme for the RFID reader, which superimposes an AN signal on the CW signal to confuse the proactive eavesdropper. The power allocation between the AN signal and the CW signal are optimized to maximize the secrecy rate. Furthermore, we model the attack and defense process between the proactive eavesdropper and the RFID reader as a hierarchical security game, and prove it can achieve the equilibrium. Simulation results show the superiority of our proposed scheme in terms of the secrecy rate and the interactions between the RFID reader and the proactive eavesdropper.

Anomaly Detection in RFID Networks Using Bayesian Blocks and DBSCAN. 2020 SoutheastCon. :1–7.
The use of modeling techniques such as Knuth's Rule or Bayesian Blocks for the purposes of real-time traffic characterization in RFID networks has been proposed already. This study examines the applicability of using Voronoi polygon maps or alternatively, DBSCAN clustering, as initial density estimation techniques when computing 2-Dimentional Bayesian Blocks models of RFID traffic. Our results are useful for the purposes of extending the constant-piecewise adaptation of Bayesian Blocks into 2D piecewise models for the purposes of more precise detection of anomalies in RFID traffic based on multiple log features such as command type, location, UID values, security support, etc. Automatic anomaly detection of RFID networks is an essential first step in the implementation of intrusion detection as well as a timely response to equipment malfunction such as tag hardware failure.

Security Job Management System Based on RFID and IOT Technology. 2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR). :44–48.
As it was difficult for the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) to manage a large amount of safety equipment efficiently, resulting in the frequent occurrence of safety accidents caused by the quality of equipment. Therefore, this paper presents a design of a self-powered wireless communication radio frequency identification tag system based on the Si24R1. The system uses blockchain technology to provide a full-length, chain-like path for RFID big data to achieve data security management. Using low-power Si24R1 chips to make tags can extend the use time of tags and achieve full life cycle management of equipment. In addition, a transmission scheme was designed to reduce the packet loss rate, in this paper. Finally, the result showed that the device terminal received and processed information from the six tags simultaneously. According to calculations, this electronic tag could be used for up to three years. This system can be widely used for safe operation management, which can effectively reduce the investment of manpower and material resources.

Application-Specific Instruction Set Architecture for an Ultralight Hardware Security Module. 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Hardware Oriented Security and Trust (HOST). :69–79.
Due to the rapid growth of using Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the daily life, the need to achieve an acceptable level of security and privacy according to the real security risks for these devices is rising. Security risks may include privacy threats like gaining sensitive information from a device, and authentication problems from counterfeit or cloned devices. It becomes more challenging to add strong security features to extremely constrained devices compared to battery operated devices that have more computational and storage capabilities. We propose a novel application specific instruction-set architecture that allows flexibility on many design levels and achieves the required security level for the Electronic Product Code (EPC) passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag device. Our solution moves a major design effort from hardware to software, which largely reduces the final unit cost. The proposed architecture can be implemented with 4,662 gate equivalent units (GEs) for 65 nm CMOS technology excluding the memory and the cryptographic units. The synthesis results fulfill the requirements of extremely constrained devices and allow the inclusion of cryptographic units into the datapath of the proposed application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP).

Research of Ubiquitous Power Internet of Things Security Authentication Method Based on CPK and RIFD. 2020 IEEE 4th Information Technology, Networking, Electronic and Automation Control Conference (ITNEC). 1:1519–1523.
As RFID system has fewer calculation and storage resources for RF tag, it is difficult to adopt the traditional encryption algorithm technology with higher security, which leads to the system being vulnerable to counterfeiting, tampering, leakage and other problems. To this end, a lightweight bidirectional security authentication method based on the combined public key is proposed. The method deals with the key management problem of the power Internet of things (IoT) in the terminal layer device by studying the combined public key (CPK) technology. The elliptic curve cryptosystem in the CPK has the advantages of short key length, fast calculation speed and small occupied bandwidth, which is very suitable for the hardware environment of RFID system with limited performance. It also ensures the security of the keys used in the access of the IoT terminal equipment to the authentication, and achieves overall optimization of speed, energy consumption, processing capacity and security.

Radio frequency identification system (RFID) is a wireless technology based on radio waves. These radio waves transmit data from the tag to a reader, which then transmits the information to a server. RFID tags have several advantages, they can be used in merchandise, to track vehicles, and even patients. Connecting RFID tags to internet terminal or server it called Internet of Things (IoT). Many people have shown interest in connected objects or the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is composed of many complementary elements each having their own specificities. The RFID is often seen as a prerequisite for the IoT. The main challenge of RFID is the security issues. Connecting RFID with IoT poses security threats and challenges which are needed to be discussed properly before deployment. In this paper, we proposed a new distributed encryption algorithm to be used in the IoT structure in order to reduce the security risks that are confronted in RFID technology.

Design and Analysis of a New RFID Security Protocol for Internet of Things. 2020 5th International Conference on Information Science, Computer Technology and Transportation (ISCTT). :16–18.
As the core of the third information revolution, the Internet of things plays an important role in the development of the times. According to the relevant investigation and research, we can find that the research on the Internet of things is still in the stage of LAN and private network, and its open advantages have not been fully utilized[1]. In this context, RFID technology as the core technology of the Internet of things, the security protocol plays an important role in the normal use of the technology. With the continuous development of Internet information technology, the disadvantages of security protocol become more and more obvious. These problems seriously affect the popularity of Internet of things technology. Therefore, in the future work, the relevant staff need to continue to strengthen research, according to the future development plan, effectively play the advantages of technology, and further promote its development.

Edge Data Security for RFID-Based Devices. 2020 International Conference on Smart Technologies in Computing, Electrical and Electronics (ICSTCEE). :272–277.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) has become a preferred technology for monitoring in industrial internet of things (IIoT) applications like supply chain, medical industry, vehicle tracking and warehouse monitoring where information is required continually. Typical security threats seen in these applications are denial of service (DOS) attack, transmission attack etc. We propose a novel edge data security schema based on spike modulation along with backscatter communication technique to modulate both sensor and identification (ID) information. It is observed that this data encoding schema works well even in a multi-tag single-reader environment. Further, it uses lower power and offers a low-cost solution for Industrial IoT applications.
