This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-worksop proceedings of the 7th International Workshop Radio Frequency Identification: Security and Privacy Issues. RFIDSec 2011, held in Amherst, Massachusetts, USA, in June 2011. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 initial submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers focus on minimalism in cryptography, on-tag cryptography, securing RFID with physics, and protocol-level security in RFID.

This is an edited book covering fundamentals, security theories and protocols, and hardware implementations for cryptography algorithms and security techniques in RFID. It is the first book to comprehensively cover RFID security issues and solutions. Part 1 deals with RFID fundamentals. Part 2 addresses RFID security protocols and techniques. Finally, the book discusses hardware implementation of security algorithms and protocols dedicated to RFID platforms and chips.

In the beginning of 2003, I found a short article about the privacy implications of RFID technology in a newspaper. It raised my interest, and after reading some early research papers on the topic, I thought: “There must exist better solutions. ” I c- cerned myself with the topic in my spare time. After having developed my rst - lutions, I asked my supervisor, Prof. Dr. Paul Muller ̈ , whether I could write a paper about my results. As the topic did not t into any running project or at least the overall research directions of his group, he could have answered no. But instead, he encouraged me to do it. The paper became a success, and many other papers about new concepts and solutions followed. Now the answer is obvious: There exist better solutions. I have dealt with the topic over the past years. Now I want to share the basics as well as current research results with the reader. This book is surely not a bedside reading. But with all the presented concepts, it can broaden the mind of the reader concerning security,privacy, and RFIDsystems. Iwishthe reader many new insights. There are many people I would like to thank. First of all, my thanks go to my ̈ supervisor, Prof. Dr. Paul Muller. He gave me room for creativity and plenty of rope to work on my own.

This book presents the most interesting talks given at ISSE 2006 - the forum for the interdisciplinary discussion of how to adequately secure electronic business processes. The topics include: Smart Token and e-ID-Card Developments and their Application - Secure Computing and how it will change the way we trust computers - Risk Management and how to quantify security threats - Awareness raising, Data Protection and how we secure corporate information. Adequate information security is one of the basic requirements of all electronic business processes. It is crucial for effective solutions that the possibilities offered by security technology can be integrated with the commercial requirements of the applications. The reader may expect state-of-the-art: best papers of the Conference ISSE 2006.

The review process followed strict standards: each paper received at least three reviews. The Program C- mittee included 31 members representing 13 countries and 5 continents. These members were carefully selected to represent academia, industry, and gove- ment,aswellastoincludeworld-classexpertsinvariousresearch?eldsofinterest to RFIDSec. The Program Committee was supported by 38 external reviewers. Additionally, the workshop included three excellent invited talks. Ari Juels from RSA Laboratories discussed his vision of RFID security, in a talk entitled “The Physical Basis of RFID Security. ” Pim Tuyls from Intrinsic-ID described his experiences in a talk entitled “Hardware Intrinsic Security. ” Serge Vaudenay from EPFL discussed his vision of privacy in RFID systems in a talk entitled “Privacy Models for RFID Schemes. ” I deeply thank A. Murat Apohan and Serhat Sa? gd?co? ¸ glu, the General Chair and Co-chair of RFIDSec 2010, for their excellent and always timely work on managing the local organization and orchestrating conference logistics. I would liketodeeplythank theSteeringCommittee ofRFIDSec fortheirtrust,constant support, guidance, and kind advice on many occasions.

This book focuses on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), IoT (Internet of Things), and WSN (Wireless Sensor Network). It includes contributions that discuss the security and privacy issues as well as the opportunities and applications that are tightly linked to sensitive infrastructures and strategic services. This book addresses the complete functional framework and workflow in IoT-enabled RFID systems and explores basic and high-level concepts. It is based on the latest technologies and covers the major challenges, issues, and advances in the field. It presents data acquisition and case studies related to data-intensive technologies in RFID-based IoT and includes WSN-based systems and their security. It can serve as a manual for those in the industry while also helping beginners to understand both the basic and advanced aspects of IoT-based RFID-related issues. This book can be a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered, and find solutions that have been adopted in the fields of IoT and analytics.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-worksop proceedings of the 8th International Workshop Radio Frequency Identification: Security and Privacy Issues, RFIDSec 2012, held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in July 2012. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers focus on approaches to solve security and data protection issues in advanced contactless technologies.
