An approach to test security of EPCglobal class 1 generation 2 RFID system

In this paper we present an approach to test the security of RFID system. Starting from a division of RFID system architecture, we divide the security of RFID system into three parts: fore-end subsystem security, back-end subsystem security, security caused by malicious software. To each part, several test cases are listed to test security. The key benefit is that this approach can solve the interoperation problem of security when RFID system in application is not provided by the same provider.
