Abstract

In this paper,we propose Double Edged (DE)-Sword, an incentivized verifiable tag path query scheme. DE-Sword queries tag records stored across a path of participants within an RFID-enabled supply chain in a verifiable way. Different with previous works, DE-Sword works in a dishonest-data owner model in which participants are the owners of tag records and may be dishonest. DE-Sword introduces a novel double-edged reputation incentive mechanism to encourage participants to behave honestly; and couples it with cryptographic primitives to ensure query verifiability. We evaluate DE-Sword through game theory, security analysis,and performance evaluation. The game theory and security analysis shows that DE-Sword guarantees query verifiability. The evaluation results show that DE-Sword incurs low overhead in supply chain systems.
