Who We Are

We live with research

TagSys is an interest research group launched by Prof. Yunhao Liu and Dr. Lei Yang in 2012, in the School of Software, Tsinghua University. With the deep background of computer science, communications, and mathematics, the group is dedicated to establishing a research and practice environment to improve the current technologies and systems on RFID technology, security & privacy preserving, battery-free sensing, and pervasive computing. Such group has attract a wide attention in both academic and industry. Besides participating academic Symposiums, the group is often invited to give talk, training, consulting and auditing to industrial partners. Thus, it has a close relationship with its partners, aiming to strengthen collaborative applied research activities between the industry and research organizations.

Our Projects

TagAssist

Over the past several years, reports on baggage mishandling or lose have been paid more and more attention. According to statistics, there are totally 160 million baggage transported in China in 2011. Among these baggages, 2.3 million were lost or mishandled, and the airlines had paid a compensation of 3.7 million US$ for them. We are collaborating with the Hainan Airline, the Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) and Sanya Phoenix International Airport (SPIA) to conduct aRFID-Assisted Sortation System, called TagAssist. The Hainan Airline, which is the third biggest airline enterprise in China, suffers a lot of problems with baggage losses incurred by the manual sortation in BCIA T1, and SPIA. The ultimate goal of TagAssist is to pursue a guarantee for the passengers, “Never lose your baggage!”. To achieve this goal, TagAssist provides a automatically baggage track and check technique to wipe out the wrong sortation as much as possible. Currently, this system is under further development and is going to benefit people greatly.

TagHome

With the rapid economic development, people are seeking for life with higher quality. The TagHome project is an ongoing work for building an intelligent and user-friendly home system for normal families. It transforms the traditional homes into integrated systems with user-friendly interfaces and adaptive automation controls. With assistance of large amount of sensors and actuators, the homes can automatically adjust to the requirements of the users as they wish. Unlike existing intelligent home systems, this project focuses on the construction of comprehensive services covering all aspects of family life. With the centralized management of the network provider and services provided by third-party institutions, our system can provide services including medical, security and etc. This project is supported by the Shanxi Broadcast&TV Network Intermediary. The prototype has been implemented in the building of Shanxi Broadcast&TV Network Intermediary. Currently, this system is under further testing and is going to be implemented in a residential area.

Tagerify

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. Unlike a bar code, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader, and may be embedded in the tracked object. One of the most promising applications of RFID is anti-counterfeiting, i.e., to verify the authenticity of the products. Counterfeiting is considered as one of the most serious threats to the world economy, and statistics have shown that the counterfeit goods account for 5% of the world trade every year. In the Tagerify project we study the RFID batch authentication issue and propose the first probabilistic approach, termed as Single Echo based Batch Authentication (SEBA), to meet the requirement of prompt and reliable batch authentications in our large scale anti-counterfeiting solution. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of SEBA in fast batch authentications as well as its significant improvement compared to existing approaches.

Opensesame

Screen locking/unlocking is important for modern smart phones to avoid the unintentional operations and secure the personal stuff. Once the phone is locked, the user should take a specific action or produce some secret information to unlock the phone. The existing unlocking approaches can be categorized into four groups: motion, password, pattern, and fingerprint. Existing approaches do not support smart phones well due to the deficiency of security, high cost, and poor usability. In this project, we design a handshaking biometric-based approach to unlock the smart phone. Comparing with the existing methods, there are two major advantages of our approach. The first advantage is the difficulty to forge. Using our approach, the authentication process is based on the features of the user’s habits and motions, which is much harder for unauthorized users to obtain. The second advantage is the simplicity and convenience. Our approach can free users from remembering a large number of passwords or complicated patterns for unlocking their phones.
