Recent dramatic drops in the cost of radio Frequency Identification(RFID) equipment, along with corresponding increases in performance and attention from the popular media, have ignited wide-spread government and corporate interest in massive RFID deployments.Meanwhile, privacy and security concerns began to dominate the public's views. Ubiquitous RFID tagging has enormous potential economic benefits: it will enable new discoveries, business models, and economic activity, as well as improve health care, national security, and the overall quality of life. Opposite these RFID-based capabilities and benefits is the fundamental right to privacy.Interestingly, it is possible to simultaneously realize both of these diametrically opposed goals (information transparency vs. individual privacy), but viable solutions are mathematically subtle and technologically complicated.This project will address the fundamental question of how to resolve the inherent tension between the conflicting goals of information ubiquity and privacy, in the context of reliable RFID technology. By drawing upon a rich set of techniques that lie at the confluence of algorithms, mathematics, randomization, cryptography, and VLSI design, this research will develop methodologies that will enable RFID technology to realize its full potential, while still preserving privacy and security. This project will investigate and test new approaches to RFID security, privacy, and reliability, under reasonably general and realistic conditions. The broader impact of this research lies in increasing the trustworthiness and utility of future RFID systems, and exploring their benefits to society, the economy, and national security.

最近射频识别(RFID)设备成本的大幅下降，以及性能的相应提高和大众媒体的关注，引发了政府和企业对大规模部署RFID的广泛兴趣。同时，隐私和安全方面的担忧开始主导公众的观点。无处不在的RFID标签具有巨大的潜在经济效益：它将实现新的发现、商业模式和经济活动，以及改善医疗保健、国家安全和整体生活质量。与这些基于RFID的能力和好处相对的是基本的隐私权。有趣的是，同时实现这两个截然相反的目标(信息透明与个人隐私)是可能的，但可行的解决方案在数学上是微妙的，在技术上是复杂的。这个项目将解决在可靠的RFID技术背景下，如何解决信息普及性和隐私之间的内在矛盾这一根本问题。通过借鉴算法、数学、随机化、密码学和VLSI设计的丰富技术，这项研究将开发出使RFID技术能够充分发挥其潜力，同时仍能保护隐私和安全的方法。该项目将在相当普遍和现实的条件下，调查和测试实现RFID安全性、保密性和可靠性的新方法。这项研究的更广泛的影响在于增加未来RFID系统的可信性和实用性，并探索它们对社会、经济和国家安全的好处。
