Security Threats and Challenges for RFID and WSN Integration

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)

RFID Utilization in Public University Libraries in Jordan

“…Many risks are expected to have significant impact on the behavior and the performance of RFID applications or systems, the following are some: Confusing business processes, the need for performance management and training, increased work due to technology uncertainty, the excess cost of management and maintenance, and the management of vendors and partners may be too costly. In addition, research indicated other risks like: information technology infrastructure and the integration of existing information systems need to be built and maintained by experts and IT specialist; another potential risk is complex business processes which may be difficult to be realized and understood by employees; the management of platform compatibility; the security and privacy issues; and the standards and regulations issues mentioned previously (Abu-Shanab, 2013;Priya et al, 2012;Shemaili et al, 2012;Lim & Koh, 2009).…”

“…It is important to integrate the system with a "Wireless Sensor Network", is a network that aims to collect sensory data from the sensors in order to respond quickly to the queries. It basically consists of four components: the sensor field, the sensor nodes, the sink and the basic stations (Shemaili, Yeun, Mubarak & Zemerly, 2012). The authors emphasize that this integration between RFID and WSN will introduce a creative object, RFID and WSN can be complementary to each other by having additional improvements and services for each.…”
