Privacy-Friendly Mobile RFID Reader Protocol Design based on trusted Agent and PKI

As the technology of automatic identification using radio frequency called RFID which is expected to be the alternative of the next generation barcode improves, concerns to the privacy infringement grow harder. Since personal information is combined with the tagged objects in the information integration system, it can be arbitrarily misused. To solve the drawbacks of radically emerging technology, it should be implemented in a privacy conscious manner. Without providing approvable countermeasures, it is hard to utilize the technological innovation. In this paper, we will provide privacy protection scheme in terms of RFID reader. So far, RFID tag and its owner related privacy have been mainly focused on in the RFID fields, but reader-side consideration cannot be negligible when envisioning the whole RFID service architecture
