In this paper we present a holistic view on RFID security using logical entities that most RFID applications will use. Starting from an abstract model of anRFID-System we propose a generalized threat model for RFID-Systems based on the classical terms of information security: Confidentiality, Availability and Integrity. We use the method of attack trees for a listing of threats that apply to RFID-Systems. The key benefitis that this threat model enables a systematic analysis of a specific RFID-System's security and it allows to compare the security of RFID-Systems. By analyzing this threat listing we show that all parts of an RFID Systemare vulnerable to attacks and a single weakpoint in the system can breach information security.
