Privacy and Security Issues with RFID Technology in Ubiquitous Computing

Ubiquitous computing is a computing paradigm, which enables computing to be appearing everywhere using any device, in any location and any format. It includes resource-constrained mobile and wearable devices, where computations are embedded in the environment (everyday artifacts). To realize this, recently Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has received a lot of attention as growing technology in the ubiquitous computing Environment. In this paper, I discuss the various sources of errors in RFID tags and some of the privacy and security issues related to RFID communication along with possible solutions.
