Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of ownership transfer of RFID tagged objects in Internet of Things (IoT) in a secure manner. In application domains such as supply chain management, RFID tagged objects are required to securely change hands several times during their life cycle. To this end, we propose a novel ownership transfer mechanism that securely transfers an RFID tagged objects in Internet of Things (IoT). An important property of the proposed approach is that the proposed ownership transfer mechanism ensures the security of both the RFID tagged objects and the object owners. We analysed the proposed object ownership transfer protocol both qualitatively and quantitatively to evaluate its effectiveness. The analysis shows that the proposed protocol is more secure and requires less computation as compared to existing similar protocols. We address the problem of ownership transfer of RFID tagged objects in IoT.The proposed mechanism securely transfers ownership of an objects in IoT.The proposed protocol ensures the security of both objects and object owners.We analysed the proposed protocol both qualitatively and quantitatively to evaluate its effectiveness.
