Rfid Middleware

This paper introduces the principle of a radio frequency identification (RFID) middleware, including its characteristics, problems and implementation in relation to Electronic Product Code (EPC). The targeted users are small and medium-sized domestic enterprises (SMEs), who need flexible and convenient solutions. This paper provides a framework and construction solutions of this simple RFID middleware, and discusses EPC concepts, solutions and advantages. It has been found that the best solution is to construct a simple and convenient platform and continuously add new common reader adapters based on the actual needs and extend special applications, which will become the basic functions of the RFID middleware, so that SMEs can conveniently use and extend these functions according to their needs. This study shows that the simple RFID middleware is suitable for SMEs to use and the open source can be easily applied to make a platform based on the RFID middleware.

Passive Rfid

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a common technology for identifying objects, animals, or people. The main form of barcode-type RFID device is known as an Electronic Product Code (EPC) and the most popular standard for passive RFID tags is Class-1 Generation-2. In this technology, the information transmitted between devices is through the air, therefore adversaries can eavesdrop these messages passed on the insecure radio channel and finally, the security of the system can be compromised. In this chapter, the authors analyze the security of EPC Class-1 Generation-2 standard, showing its security weaknesses and presenting some possible countermeasures.

Code Standard

This article focuses on the value of standards and the industry's work to date on an ePedigree standard, track-and-trace and electronic product code (EPC)/radio frequency identification (RFID). Parallels are drawn between the development of the bar code standard in the 1970s by EPCglobal's parent company, GS1 US, and the activities seen today in the EPC/RFID marketplace. The article also touches on issues such as patient privacy, item identification, sensor technology. Last, the article identifies areas other than counterfeit that may benefit from the standards that are being developed today.

The Future

The application of the electronic product code (EPC) in an enterprise may turn out to be one of the choices in the future. The subject of this article is an analysis preceding decisive conditions in an investment process of its implementation. These reflections are preceded by the research in Polish enterprises, aiming at an estimation of the possibility of the RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) transponder commercialisation (market potential) being consistent with the EPC requirements. Conducting such research in the future will lead to a decrease in the decision gap among managers within the scope of the possibility of implementing the innovative solution described, as well as the anticipated business results.  Methods of analysis and synthesis have been applied, within the theory of decision-making and telecommunications. An interdisciplinary approach to the issue in question constitutes the added value of this article.  The conclusion comprises a synthesis of the article contents—crucial decisive areas that require monitoring and simultaneous estimation (now and in the future) regarding implementation of the electronic product code in an organization. In general, these areas are macro environment, competitive environment, strategic potential of an organization, and managers’ decisiveness.
