Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to communicate between a reader and a tag attached to an object, to identify and track it. RFID systems consist of a reader, an antenna, and a tag or transponder (Ait et al., Math Model Comput 8(4): 616–626, 2021). In this research, the aim was to examine the vulnerabilities of RFID-related physical controls in an infrastructure, to identify potential vulnerabilities, and to assess the associated risks. The findings of this study provided important insights into the current state of RFID-related physical controls in an infrastructure and will assist organizations in improving the security of their RFID systems.
