Abstract:

We propose a new approach to detection of counterfeit tags and goods in RFID-enabled supply chains. Called tailing, our approach involves periodic insertion of random data into tags, creating a kind of “synthetic pedigree.” We show in supply-chain simulations how our approach enables a verifier to detect bogus tags even when hindered by partial visibility.
