Scalable and resynchronisable radio frequency identification ownership transfer protocol based on a sliding window mechanism

In order to guarantee the tag identification accuracy and efficiency in mobile radio frequency identification system, it is necessary to estimate the tags’ arrival rate before performing identification. This research aims to develop a novel estimation method based on improved grey model(1,1) and sliding window mechanism. By establishing tags’ dynamic arrival model, this article emphasizes the importance of tags’ arrival rate estimation in mobile radio frequency identification system. Using sliding window mechanism and weighted coefficients method, weighted grey model(1,1) with sliding window (WGMSW(1,1)) is proposed based on traditional grey model(1,1). For experimental verification, three kinds of data are used as original data in WGMSW(1,1). The experimental results show that the proposed method has lower estimation error rate, lower computation complexity, and high system stability.

Supply chain management (SCM) governance is the streamline of the IoT product life cycle from its production to delivery. Integrating blockchain with supply chain management is essential to ensure end-to-end tracking, trustiness between manufacturers and customers, fraud and counterfeit elimination, and customizing administrative costs and paperwork. This paper proposes an RFID ownership transfer protocol with the help of zk-SNARKs (Zero Knowledge-Succinct Noninteractive Arguments of Knowledge) using Ethereum blockchain. When the owner performs RFID transfer, the transferred information will be recorded on the blockchain using smart contracts. When using a smart contract to transfer ownership on the Ethereum blockchain, because the content on the blockchain will not be tampered with, all accounts in the Ethereum can view the transfer results and verify them. The privacy of the supply chain is attained by generating the proof of product code via zk-SNARKs algorithm. This algorithm also enhances the scalability of the supply chain system by creating a trusted setup in off-chain mode.

Transfer Protocol

Mobile radio frequency identification (RFID) has been extensively applied in a wide range of fields. In supply chain management, RFID is used to more efficiently manage the ownership transfer of cargo. The transfer of a group of tags belonging to multiple owners is often required at the front end of a supply chain. This study, therefore, proposes a secure, high-performance threshold multi-owner partial tag ownership transfer protocol that supports a mobile RFID environment and features the capabilities and security required for supporting existing ownership transfer environments (e.g., application for different authorities, designation of the transfer target, and ownership transfer of a group of tags). Moreover, the proposed protocol can resist against most of the known attacks on RFID.
