Security in RFID and sensor networks [electronic resource] / edited by Yan Zhang, Paris Kitsos.

In the past several years, there has been an increasing trend in the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) as well as in the integration of both systems due to their complementary nature, flexible combination, and the demand for ubiquitous computing. As alw...
