The Survey of RFID Attacks and Defenses

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems are one of the most pervasive computing technologies with technical potential and profitable opportunities in a diverse area of applications. However, they also present a number of inherent vulnerabilities. This paper comprehensive analysis the potential security threats and attacks that RFID networks faces, discusses possible countermeasures,reviews the existing RFID system security mechanisms and examines the weaknesses or flaws in these protocols. Then fields where future research is needed are identified.
