Abstract

RFID has been regarded as a time and money-saving solution for a wide variety of applications, such as manufacturing, supply chain management, and inventory control, etc. However, there are some security problems on RFID in the product managements. The most concerned issues are the tracking and the location privacy. Numerous scholars tried to solve these problems, but their proposals do not include the after-sales service. In this paper, we propose a purchase and after-sales service RFID scheme for shopping mall. The location privacy, confidentiality, data integrity, and some security protection are hold in this propose mechanism.
