The Graz University research group has built a prototype UHF RFID tag using an Internet Protocol Security layer to ensure that an RFID tag and its sensor data can be secure, no matter what RFID reader is used to interrogate it.

A research group at the Institute of Applied Information Processing and Communications (IAIK), at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), has developed a prototype for an RFID-based system aimed at providing security of RFID data on an open Internet of Things (IoT) network. Researchers say the technology provides security as sensor- and RFID-based data is collected—potentially in large volume—using virtual private network (VPN)-based software. The UHF EPC RFID tags they developed, which the team dubbed PIONEER, use their own communication channel, the Internet Protocol security (IPSec) protocol, and can require authentication before responding to an RFID reader.
