Web Service Locating Unit in RFID-Centric Anti-counterfeit System

Abstract

The problem of piracy has disturbed people’s daily life for hundreds of years and has not been relieved until now, though many existing anti-counterfeit solutions have been applied. However, due to the emergences of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technologies, there is a more reliable alternative solution to construct authentication system. On the other hand, there arises another issue of how to simplify the deployment of RFID-centric anti-counterfeit system over the Internet. In this article, we propose an approach, Web Service Locating Unit (WSLU), to achieve this goal to manage numbers of RFID-centric authentication services (relied on web services).
