RFID Security Issues in IoT: A Comparative Study

Abstract

The landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) has been evolving at an increasing rate over the recent years. With the ease of availability of mobile devices, there has been a tremendous leap in technology associated with it. Thus, the need for efficient intercommunication among these devices arises. To ensure that IoT is seamlessly integrated into the daily life of people using appropriate technology is essential. One of the important associated technologies with IoT is RFID. RFID proves to be a simpler and efficient technology to implement IoT at various levels. Since IoT is greatly imapcting the lives of people, one of the major concerns of IoT is the security. IoT will have millions of devices and users connected to each other. It is important to authenticate both users and devices to prevent any breach of information. With the limitations in RFID technology, various authentication protocols have been developed to provide optimal solutions.
