Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an electronic tagging technology that allows objects to be automatically identified at a distance without a direct line-ofsight using an electromagnetic challenge-and-response exchange of data.An RFID system consists of RF readers and RF tags.RF tags are attached to objects, and used as a unique identifier of the objects.RFID technologies enable a number of business and personal applications, and smooth the way for physical transactions in the real world, such as supply chain management, transportation payment, animal identification, warehouse operations, and more.Though bringing great productivity gains, RFID systems may cause new security and privacy threats to individuals or organizations, which have become a major obstacle for their wide adaptions.Therefore, it is important to address the security and privacy issues in RFID systems.In this dissertation, we investigate security and privacy issues for large-scale RFID systems.Since any object is uniquely identifiable with an RF tag, the tag's ID must be protected from adversaries during data communications in keeping with the authenticity of tags.Hence, we first propose private authentication protocols that RF readers to singulate individual tags without disclosing tags' content to adversaries.To design a secure access protocol, two different approaches are taken, encryptionbased and non-encryption-based.In the encryption-based approach, we propose a structured key management with low cost cryptographic operations based on a skip
