RFID INFOSEC for Nation-wide Engineering Education
Radio frequency identification (RFID) information systems provide information to users about objects with RFID tags. RFID systems require the application of information systems security (INFOSEC) to protect the information from tampering, unauthorized information disclosure, and denial of service to authorized users. Typically, students experience only narrowly focused layers of a RFID system such as the tag, air interface, reader, network, middleware, or applications in separate courses instead of a system-wide approach. The goal of this project is to improve the quality of education nation-wide in RFID INFOSEC by creating new learning materials and teaching strategies that address security at the tag, air interface, reader, network, middleware, and application layers. The principal investigators are Drs. Dale R. Thompson and Jia Di. Senior investigators are Drs. Michael K. Daugherty and Craig W. Thompson.
