Patent number: 11170595Abstract: An access control system comprising a first detector, a second detector, and a processor. The first detector is operable to detect presence of a subject in proximity of the access control system. The second detector operable to detect an object identifier associated with an object carried by the subject in proximity of the access control system. The processor is operably connected with the first detector and the second detector. The processor is operable to receive, from the first detector, a first signal indicative of the detection of the presence of the subject, and receive, from the second detector, a second signal containing the detected object identifier. During operation, the processor is arranged to determine that an access event has occurred when it receives both the first signal and the second signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Hong Kong R&D Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management Enabling Technologies LimitedInventors: Jing Tian Xi, Chin Chiu Chung, Chi Hung Tong, Kwong Yeung Simon Wong

Patent number: 8368517Abstract: A system and method for RFID privacy-preserving authentication is disclosed. The method first has a reader sending a request and a first random number to a tag. The tag then generates a second random number. A plurality of hash values are then computed at the tag. Each hash value uses the first random number, the second random number and at least one part of a key of the tag as inputs. The second random number and the computed hash values are then sent to the reader. Lastly, the reader identifies a validity of the tag from the received values. The hash values are all generated in parallel and are independent to each other.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2009Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Hong Kong R&D Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management Enabling Technologies LimitedInventors: Li Lu, Yunhao Liu, Jinsong Han
