Abstract

RFID plays a significant role in todays manufacturing automation. Automatic identification as fundamental characteristic of RFID enables manufactures to reduce cost and time which in turn let them increasing total productivity. However, security is still regarded as a serious issue to entirely deploying RFID for whole identification processes of manufacturing systems. This paper proposes a new insight on how to tackle the security problem by taking into account cloud computing technology to current RFID based manufacturing system. After careful review on related literature, hash chain authentication protocol in different approaches were chosen as the viable option to address the problem. Using cloud computing paradigm, a novel cloud based RFID manufacturing system powered by hash chain authentication protocol is conceptualized from the perspective of Security Authentication as a Service.
