Abstract

RFID is an automatic identification system that uses radio frequency technology in product tags. The technology brings out the greater enhancement to synchronize the logistics flow and information flow. Unfortunately, it also introduces the great concerns on the privacy and security protection, not only on the individual use but also on the supply chain collaboration. This study proposes an on demand access control to protect the information flow in an RFID-enabled supply chain. The design considers the role in a supply chain as well as the media of carrying the information. A case study on garment industry will be provided for validation.
