“…Security of RFID as an independent technology is reaching an adequate maturity level, thanks to research advances in recent years; however, its integration into the PN model, interaction with other network resources, remote users, and service providers, requires a specific security analysis and a secure PN architecture prepared to support these heterogeneous pervasive technologies. Although an increasing amount of research is focusing on the PN paradigms with the proposal of some network architectures and the benefits of the integration of wireless sensor networks and RFID technology have already driven the proposal of several architectures in different scenarios , to the best of our knowledge, no architecture had introduced the secure integration of RFID and wireless sensor networks technologies in PNs until our initial proposal . This paper expands on our previous work and exposes the benefits of the collaboration of RFID and sensor technologies in PN networks, analyzes how this integration could be achieved, and defines a secure PN architecture that provides the foundations in order to securely register and maintain the personal tags as members of the PN, authenticate and authorize PN nodes and remote devices in their requests to access these context‐aware technologies, provide a secure tunnel to communicate with this non‐IP‐enabled entities, and enforce the fulfillment of security and privacy policies in these communications.…”

A personal network (PN) should enable the collaboration of user's devices and services in a flexible, self‐organizing, and friendly manner. For such purpose, the PN must securely accommodate heterogeneous technologies with uneven computational and communication resources. In particular, personal radio frequency identification (RFID) tags can enable seamless recognition of user's context, provide user authentication, and enable novel services enhancing the quality and quantity of data handled by the PN. However, the highly constrained features of common RFID tags and their passive role in the network highlights the need of an adequate secure communication model with personal tags, which enables their participation as a member of the PN. In this paper, we present our concept of PN, with special emphasis on the role of RFID and sensor networks, and define a secure architecture for PNs including methods for the secure access to context‐aware technologies from both local PN members and the Internet of Things. The PN architecture is designed to support differentiated security mechanisms to maximize the level of security for each type of personal device. Furthermore, we analyze which security solutions available in the literature can be adapted for our architecture, as well as the challenges and security mechanisms still necessary in the secure integration of personal tags.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a self-configuring and highly flexible distributed network used for real time monitoring and is comprised of a number of wireless, minute, battery-operated independent sensor nodes connected to a common sink. Due to energy considerations, the network is generally divided into clusters and the entire communication is carried out through the cluster heads. The clock mismatch between various nodes and clusters often leads to collisions, delay and data loss. In order to overcome this problem, a novel RTS/CTS based Relative Time Synchronization Protocol is being proposed for Radio-Frequency Identification based WSN. It achieves better performance due to its energy efficiency and lower service messages. Simulation results show a substantial improvement in the net throughput and reliability of the network when compared with the GPS-based Synchronization technique.
