Security Vulnerability and Considerations in Mobile RFID environment

In this paper, we present some cases which raise security vulnerability in the forthcoming mobile RFID environment and discuss some security considerations to prevent such cases. We also describe other security requirements related with authentication of the EPC tags through the mobile RFID devices. The mobile RFID environment means that mobile RFID devices like mobile (cellular) phone and PDA employing cellular network can be used at querying information of the consumer product related an EPC tag. In particular, the mobile RFID devices in this paper have a mobile RFID reader which is compliant with EPC Class-1 Generation-2 UHF (860-960 MHz) standard
