Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), a methodology that uses active and passive tags to communicate through radio signals at different frequencies, has made its way to different implementations, including tracking of merchandise in transit, inventory management, access restrictions to authorized personnel, different data-sharing applications embedded with Near Field Communication (NFC). This technology has been mainly used in airports for tracking people and tracking luggage. In the tracking people line, was found that the main targets are the employees; to allow them to enter specific locations in the airport and give them permissions based on the role/hierarchy they have in the company and for passenger tracking and authentication in airports. In the line of luggage tracking, with the increasing number of incidents of missing or misplaced luggage, our focus in the following work will be on the implementation of a testbed of an Io RFID tracking system for luggage. This proposed project has 4 stages (objectives): 1. Prototyping and testing of RFID IoT infrastructure. 2. Generate a vulnerability assessment for the RFID IoT infrastructure. 3. Simulate cyberattacks and test the likelihood of compromise of the system’s integrity and availability. 4. Propose a series of recommendations for securing RFID IoT Systems that meet the characteristics of the systems evaluated in this research.
