1 Introduction

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as a new kind of automatic identification technology, both at home and abroad in recent years has been rapid development.

At present, China's development of RFID products generally low frequency-based, such as the second-generation ID card, ticket management. In the UHF segment our homegrown products less, making it difficult to adapt to the huge market demand and intense international competition. Ultra-high frequency (UHF) label refers to the operating frequency in the 860 ~ 960 MHz RFID tags with read/write long distance, reading speed, scope broad, etc., can be widely used in logistics management, storage, access control, etc. In order to meet market needs, this article to EPC C1G2 agreement, ISO/IEC18000.6 supplement, designed a UHF labels of digital circuits.

2 UHF RFID tag works

Radio frequency identification systems are typically determined by the reader (Reader) and RFID tag (RFID Tag).

Attached to the question to identify objects on the RFID tag memory agreed format for electronic data, as the question to identify items of identifying information. The reader can read labels with no contacts in the electronic data or information is written to the tag, in order to achieve the object of the automatic identification and management. Reader and RFID tags in accordance with the conventions of communication protocol using advanced RF technology to communicate with each other, their basic communication process is as follows.

(1) the reader role within the label carrier receiving reader sends energy, power-on reset;

(2) label receive reader sends commands and operations;

(3) the reader choose and inventory order issued on label identification, selected a single tag to communicate, the remaining labels temporary dormant;

(4) unrecognized tags perform Reader access to the command is sent, and inverse scattering modulation mode sends data to the reader, to sleep, then no longer answer to the reader;

(5) the reader to the remaining labels continue to repeat the search, (3)

(4), respectively, wake-up a single label for read until identify all labels.

3 UHF RFID tags with structural and system specifications

UHF RFID tags in the diagram shown in Figure 1, from analog and digital made up of two parts.

Analog circuit including antennas, wake-up clock generation circuits, circuit, envelope detector circuit, circuit and reflection modulation circuit; digital part of the main implementation of EPC reader communication protocol, to identify and execute commands, such as when reading multiple labels anticollision method, perform the reader sends a read/write command, the realization of the reader and the tag's communication process and output data as encoded. Agreement provides for labelling system specification as shown in table 1.

  

4. the label design of digital circuits

4.1 circuit design of the overall system

After the contents of the agreement, this article takes an in-depth study of design method, Top.down first circuit features a detailed description, in accordance with the functionality of the entire system for modular Division; then a hardware description language VHDL RTL code design and functional simulation; function correctly after using EDA tools, process library optimized for logic synthesis; and finally uses the automatic layout wiring for formation of chip layout design.

This article determines the structure of the system diagram as shown in Figure 2, which includes decoding module, CRC (cyclic redundancy check, a cyclic redundancy check) calibration module, state machine modules, CRC generation module, memory, encoding module and clock frequency module. Decoding module receives analog demodulation of command signals, in accordance with the agreement of command format will signal decoding a tag number portion of the recognized binary data, and send it to the CRC modules and state machine modules. CRC modules to command the integrity check, if recognized as a valid command, the trigger state machine modules, control tab to perform operations such as read-write memory, anti-collision control, etc. When processing is complete, the data will be sent to the CRC generation modules produce the appropriate CRC checksum, and then will be sent together with the data and parity-check codes sent to encoding module, the module by coding to a specific form of pulse is sent to the analog part for processing and use of radio frequency technology to the reader. To reduce power consumption, the clock frequency module for global clock frequency, the frequency of frequency can be used by other modules using the digital part. Memory storage labels identifying information. The following will describe the implementation of the various modules.

  

4.2 decoding module implementation method

The command takes the reader to issue PIE (pulse.interval encoding) format, in order to synchronize the head (preamble), as shown in Figure 3.

Decoding module implementation method: first judgment on the first synchronization, the labels for the input signalDetection, once detected falling edge description may be a new command delimiter (the delimiter), count low level, will count values stored in registers count0, simultaneous detection of the input signal is a rising edge jump to jump on the rise, the data is cleared to zero recount and after the count value delimiter into register count, continue to compare registers the value of the count count0 and, as shown in Figure 3, figure out the relationship between the delimiter, data 0, RTcal (reader to tag calibration), TRcal (tag to reader calibration), confirm the synchronization of the head; and then synchronize the data after the head than RTcal/2 short as data 0, than RTtcal/2 long as data 1, from a range of high and low level of recovery of the real 1 signal and the signal, 0 into the command registers, and provides the control state machine and validation module related flags.

4.3 CRC checksum generation module

UHF RFID system uses a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to determine data validity and integrity, CRC can protect reader of RjT (reader to tag) command and inverse scattering of TjR tag (tag to reader) sequence.

From a mathematical point of view, the CRC is used will be processing data bytes as a binary polynomials coefficient of A (), the coefficient is divided by the sender and the receiver predetermined good generated polynomial g (), you will find the remainder of the P () as CRC. CRC calculation includes to calculate the CRC value of the data bytes, as well as all previous data byte CRC value. When a block is transmitted, the data sender computes the data block of the CRC and check code attached to the block of data transmission together after. Data receiver computes all received data CRC values, the result is always zero, or during the transfer process must transmit error occurred. Zero calibration can easily analyze data integrity and avoid costly checksum comparison process. Agreement with linear feedback shift register for CRC checksum, CRC.5 CRC.16 validation of circuit diagram shown in Figure 4.

4.4 RF tags in state machine

RFID tag all actions are based on a series of logical control state transitions, such as the label in the core of digital circuits.

This design uses finite-state machine to enable this module here uses three types of basic operations and 7 typical State. As shown in Figure 5, when you receive a different command, the label will be in 7 State between conversions. Select (select) command and inventory (inventory) command is used to identify from the label group a specific one, label the corresponding status is ready, arbitrate, reply, acknowledged; once the label is recognized, the reader will be issued access (access) orders, read the label of information or send information to the label, the label of the corresponding status is open, secured, and killed.

  

Identify multiple tags with stochastic precipitation tank anti-collision algorithm (slotted random anti.collision algorithm) to resolve the conflict.

Reader to read and write to the scope of each label sent contains parameter Q (a value of 0 to 15) of the Query command, the control label to their respective precipitation tank within the loaded a counter Q value of random numbers (range 0 ~ 2Q.1), random number generation is mainly based on linear feedback shift register. The reader then issued other inventory command to change the value of a random number, random number only when a value of 0, the label will not be answered. If multiple labels of the counter value is 0, these tags at the same answer, causing a conflict. The reader after a conflict is detected, the command issued inventory labels for conflict from random numeric value 0000h (hexadecimal) to 7FFFh, and then set the new Q parameter to random hash decomposer counter values, making the conflict more tags individually identified, keep an active tag and reader creation impact communication, thus effectively resolved the conflict. Although this method of distinguishing linearity (215_1) than binary search method (2 septentrionalis) low, but high reading speed, calculus, prevention mechanisms complete several signal collision possibilities, significantly reduce the probability of collisions of the signal.

4.5 coding module

Tag backscatter to reader data using FM0 coding, Figure 6 shows the encoding format. FM0

  

FM0 encoded data before a previous synchronization code, choose the former synchronous code from the reader's command of TRext parameters; FM0 coding in each data boundaries reverse phase and in the middle of reverse phase 0 data.

FM0 coding with memory function, a series of signal, after a level you must accept the end level on a bit, so you will need a register contains a bit on the end level signal, thereby to judging the next signal starting level. According to the reader's command to determine the label returned data link frequency (LF: link frequency), the internal clock count produces the required frequency as label returns data send rate. To reduce power consumption, you can set the global clock frequency, the lower the clock frequency. In order to correctly implement encoding functionality, you need to fully understand the standard, based on the strict definition of the module with the state machine interfaces betweenSequence. Encoding module only state machine module in the sequence on the close coordination, both sides to properly send and receive signals. Realization process: when the state machine sent makes can signal when encoding module effectively into the encoding status, while the state machine to send out the data signal; encoding module is triggered after the start, first of all, in accordance with the agreements before synchronous code, then you want to output the data then click encoding, resulting in a level 1 bit half 0 signal, or harmonization level 1 signals, serial; when the state machine to send the last bit of data at the same time, notification encoding module, state machine data has been sent.

4.6 memory and storage control logic

RFID tag data information is stored in the storage, general use EEPROM to store EPC code and password, and other labels identifying information.

Memory and state machine interface 5 J: Di is memory input data signal; Do is store output data signal; Addr is memory input address signal; oen is output enable signal memory, high level of effective; cen is the memory chip, enabling effective signal, high level; we are the memory read/write control signal, we write valid = 1; when reading we = 0.

5 simulation results and layout

This article uses the VHDL UHF RFID tags were completed for digital circuit design, RTL code on the tag and reader communication process for comprehensive simulation and emulation, and is based on a 0.18 μ m CMOS technology standard cell library, the EDA tools used on the integrated circuit for the front-end and back-end physical implementation.

The simulation results as shown in Figure 7, you can see, the integrated circuit will reader after issue of the format command CMD data PIE succeeded in decoding the binary data, stored in command register command and in control state machine and validation module related commands enable signal (Query QueryAdjust — en en, etc.); in various commands enable signals triggered by label do, according to the reader requires all output data (rn, handle, and so on); and the output data encoding generated CMD out FM0; also implements the interface with the memory. Simulation results show label digital circuit in various situations are functioning, fully meet the agreements. Integrated circuit scale after about 11000 door, power consumption of about 35 μ w. Because the circuit is very large, through automatic layout line layout design, the design of the layout shown in Figure 8. Empire has passed the DRC (design rule check) and LVS (layout and circuit diagrams are consistent comparison) authentication, time-series analysis also suffice, the circuit has a large margin, higher reliability.

  

  

  

  

6 closing

Technology case study: CPU card applications and password management technology (1)

This article to LEGIC CPU card application programmes — "card card", for example, on the CPU card application encryption algorithm, a comprehensive introduction, pointed out that the encryption method based on universal CPU system security also poses a security risk.

Recommended CPU card application is selected through a security certification (GP, EAL +), preferably with AES encryption method of CPU card technology; the choice of the COS, the best use of a communication security certification of the system, as well as the best Java based COS, as JCOP, etc.

End-to-end security

In the course of the entire card, LEGIC provides CPU card application programmes, not only from the front of the card for data confidentiality, to the end to read data from a reader sent in the process, have a very strict protection.

Figure 1 is the card to the data in the air transport, to gather data, the card reader to reader put data transmission a point-to-point data security.

Figure 1

1, card data protection in the

The CPU card unique MTSC (primary token system) is a key management system.

Each token is a key gene. The key is to protect data from key genes plus the card's UID number, through the operation of the program, the card initialization process. So the card after initialization, it established a "one card" dense "and a fan of a dense" to protect the data within your sector. Using encryption methods, in addition to the General DES, 3DES, SHA-1, there are also new CPU card application uses AES encryption method. Due to a system-supplied read head and CPU card applications, and supports online update, there is a guarantee of security.

System not only on the card to make protection of data, such as the application need, even open serial number (UID) can also be encrypted.

So you can guarantee the uniqueness of the UID, while enhancing security.

System although the diversification of key concepts (DiversifyKey) to protect the data, but each chip card key operations program.

The "hackers", explains a chip-key operation method, does not mean that the other types of chips together, break, in fact, he has to start from scratch. In addition to the traditional logic of high security encryption technology, written on the CPU card data not only COS of key protection by, while also protecting their data, which not only more secure and will not conflict with other applications, which is also on the CPU card application.

2. reader and card data transmission between

All of the reader and card at the beginning of the communication, flowing through a verification process to ensure that the card reader in front of the card is not a real CPU card, rather than "clone cards".

The advantage is that you can prevent an attempt to steal the air transport data.

Card reader and card communication is absolutely not protect data key in the air transport, this is to ensure that key security.

All data transfer can choose their own encryption methods can choose to market generic DES, 3DES or AES (only on the achieved AFS4096) encryption methods.

The advantage is that even if the data was stolen in transit, or you cannot unpack the contents of the data itself.

All data transmission can be combined with validation (CRCCheck), this also ensures that the data transmission of stability and reliability.

3, card reader security

CPU card reader is automatically eliminate token functionality, to match the card reader store upon illegal open, token will be automatically eliminated.

The PSAM card storage used relative key to security. Because the event sat card reader or POS terminal is stolen, along with the PSAM card will be stolen. The PSAM card technology and the DES algorithm is widely used, but it has been argued for security. First, DES as lucifer algorithm version, but the password from lucifer algorithm 128 bits in length, turned into a 56-bit. 56-bit cipher should be sufficient to protect against brute force attacks. Second, the internal structure is essential in DES of s-box design standard is confidential and cannot be sure it is secure. The password information stored on the chip itself, better security.

CPU card reader accept related tokens authorization can only be related to the card reading and writing, with no password.

Authorize the card is in kind, can authorize and back, allowing to manage risk.

4, the reader to the computer and communications security

Reader-to-computer communication, you can also use authentication and encryption for data protection.

Its realization and wireless interface is similar to the third certification no longer dwell. Above all the different security features are in the technology base to increase its own complexity, relative also increases resistance to cracking of the technology itself.

Password management system

Password management generally include password generation, password, dispersion, password pass, the following password management is the management of the Ministry of construction's password.

Key card in a new key is generated mainly two kind of way: that is, directly in the key card in the new key; in other security devices to generate new key, and then load it into the key card.

Generate a new key data, can be a bit single, key in the form of seeds. Code key single is actually a form of seed, it will seed data into several parts, respectively controlled by different people, which can raise security of system.

Different application keys are based on the encryption algorithm for distributed computing.

After the data from the seeds, to apply the master key, the distinction between keys, cards, multi-tiered distributed key progressive decentralized. The key purpose of decentralized even when aSub key compromise, nor the security threat management master key because the key is not available from the child and decentralized data derived from the master key, thereby improving system security, reduces security risks and management costs.

Chinese video monitoring market simulation atrophy digital expansion

Chinese video surveillance market, rapid development, traditional analog monitor market gradually atrophy, and digital surveillance becomes increasingly mainstream.

Networked, personalized and intelligent will be China video monitoring market important trends.

In the "safe city" project, technical and cost improvements as well as the Olympic Games, World Expo, and so on, China's video surveillance market, rapid development, traditional analog monitor market gradually atrophy, and gradually become mainstream digital monitor, network monitor steady growth.

Networked, personalized and intelligent will be China video monitoring market important trends, video monitoring of the application will gradually become more extensive.

Video from the analog to digital transition

In 2007, China's video surveillance market overall market size reached 41 billion, an increase compared to 2006 24.2%.

Traditional analog surveillance market is shrinking rapidly, its share of the 2004 56.9 per cent to 19.7% in 2007; Digital monitoring into the mainstream of the video surveillance market, 2004 to 2007, digital monitoring in overall market share from 35.7% growth to 54.4%. You can see, the video surveillance market is the transition from analog to digital. Concern is that the network video surveillance market is steadily growing, proportion of 2004 7.4% growth in 2007 of 25.9%.

Chinese video monitoring market development of the main driving factors include "safe city" project, technical and cost improvements, as well as the promotion of the Olympic Games and the World Expo.

In 2004, the Ministry launched the "safe city" project, aimed at enhancing urban safety and security measures, including important is deploying video surveillance system. Video system deployment accounted for 28% of total investment, greatly promoted the development of the video surveillance market.

Network video monitoring and control of a broke through the analog and digital video surveillance, use a TCP/IP network that enables remote monitoring and low-cost expansion monitoring range, making video surveillance can infiltrate into many areas.

Olympic and World Expo on the video surveillance market also has a role in promoting. Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Qingdao and Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen and other cities in the Olympic venues and related building security monitoring systems have done a lot of work.

After the Olympic Games, the video surveillance market is missing an impetus to market demand growth will slow; in addition, network bandwidth restrictions will inhibit the development of network video monitoring.

Now family ADSL bandwidth only 1 trillion, this network video monitoring applications in the field of the family is a limit.

Industry chain usher opportunities

Video monitoring market developments in the industry chain enterprises to bring important development opportunities.

Video surveillance industry chain key players including chip vendors, device manufacturers, software vendors, systems integrators, telecom operators and end users. Video surveillance of chips used in mainly include the camera captures the image information and photoelectric conversion chips, image sensor, but also for Digital hard disk recorders, video servers, and network video camera for video compression. Video monitoring systems used equipment mainly have an analog video camera, Digital hard disk recorders, video server, network cameras, monitors, as well as head, cable, etc. Software include system software and video management software, etc. System integrators provide complete hardware and software video surveillance solution. Beginning in 2006, telecom operators have access to video surveillance areas, China Telecom and China Netcom launched the "global respectively eyes" and "kuanshijie" video surveillance operations, mainly for small and medium-sized customers.

Video monitoring market will give a major equipment manufacturer and chip manufacturers enormous market opportunities.

According to the forecast, 2012 In-Stat, Digital hard disk recorders of shipments will reach 650 million units, video server shipments will reach 850 million units, network camera shipments will reach 230 million units.

Video monitoring device on video processing chip requests mainly concentrated in compressed format, resolution, and ASIC (application specific integrated circuit)/DSP (digital signal processor).

At present it is mainstream MPEG-4 compression technology, and we consider H.264 is also a wide range of applications, more and more equipment manufacturers need to support H.264 MPEG-4/dual-mode devices. In the resolution, CIF (352 x 288) is the resolution of the mainstream, but as the storage technology, D1 (704 × 576) will become the preferred device manufacturers. Additionally, for video surveillance equipment, manufacturers are more inclined to use ASIC chip; for some high-end equipment, especially with automatic identification and analysis of intelligence monitoring equipment or combined with the intelligent control of devices, manufacturers are preferred to adopt the software programming DSP chip.

Networking, personal technology, intelligence is the trend

Networked, personalized and intelligent will be China video monitoring market important trends.

Network video surveillance has unique advantages. And analog and digital control technology, network video monitoring using a TCP/IP network, you can realize remote monitoring and control of low-cost expansion. Network video monitoring of these advantages make it significantly expands video monitoring scenario. Network video monitoring including analog video camera + network video server and network camera two solutions. At present the network server used for large-scale monitoring project.

The emergence of network video monitoring allows video surveillance began to road traffic, enterprise information, family, educational, medical, and other new applications.

The present situation, Government, financial and telecommunications is video monitoring major application areas, respectively the overall market size of 29.4% 20.2% and 14.7%. Due to the emergence of network video monitoring, in particular the emergence of the network cameras, video surveillance more rapidly becoming family and personal application.

In European and American markets, network camera has become a kind of consumer electronics products

Products purchased in the supermarket. In the domestic market, video surveillance at home (community and family) also in the field of application of rapid development, the market share reached 6.4% more than the application of enterprise information. In addition, the deployment of 3 g, mobile network bandwidth improvements for mobile operators to deliver mobile video monitoring business created conditions, this will be more personal video monitor business development.

Intelligent monitoring to automatically identify the monitoring object, changes in perceived object, an exception occurs when a control object can be achieved when automatic alarms and other functions.

From 2006, have some foreign video surveillance software and hardware manufacturers started to introduce some have intelligent monitoring capabilities, cost and technology limitations, intelligent monitoring has not been widely used. But we believe that intelligent monitoring with accurate, timely and resource-saving advantages, as the technology evolution, intelligent monitoring will be applied to more fields, not only in public safety and industrial safety, will be integrated into domestic intelligence.

Future network video monitoring mainstream trend: the transition to IPv6 in

Once the underlying network IPv6 transition is complete, network video monitoring equipment will transition to IPv6 technology.

IPv6: power monitor large networking

At present, with security technology, based on traditional analog CCTV video surveillance system has scenery is no longer, instead, is a highly efficient and flexible IP digital system.

Security industry application mainly in IPv6 IP network video monitoring system, based on the one hand, IPv6 application is hosted IP video streaming IP network support the IPv6 protocol, on the other hand network cameras, network video server, network modules required to support the IPv6 protocol stack.

IPv6 as a new network protocol for improving network address extensions, security, mobility and QOS and convection support has a clear advantage, we can see IPv6 applications on network video monitoring of the application and development will contribute to achieving the "monitoring large networking" effective solutions, application of IPv6 can effectively resolve the monitoring network consists of single node, expand the node to the multi-level, from local to Metro expansion of network problems, you can greatly reduce the system's deployment cycle, so that the video surveillance system with higher scalability, security, convenience and mobility.

Currently: advantages and disadvantages of coexistence

Relative to IPv4, IPv6 has some technical advantages.

First, the IPv6 IP address from the 32-bit to 128-bit, in order to be able to support larger address space that extends network routing and addressing capability solves the problem of IPv4 address depletion.

Second, it simplifies the message format, discard the IPv4 packet of redundant components, reduced the message processing and bandwidth cost, more efficient network forward.

Third, the IPv6 integration of IPSec, used for network authentication and encryption layer, providing end-to-end security.

Fourth, IPv6 multicast support and enhance the flow of support and QOS considerations, this allows multimedia applications on the network have a great opportunity for service quality control provides good network platform.

Fifth, MobileIPv6 enhances mobile terminals of mobile features, security features, routing properties, reducing network deployment complexity and investment that provides users with a permanent online services.

Existing security systems and in the final analysis is the combination of IPv6 network video surveillance system for terminal equipment and the combination of IPv6 network, you need to upgrade via Terminal devices support the IPv6 protocol stack.

At present in the security industry, network video monitoring equipment, including network cameras, network video server, and network video surveillance platform software product would be the first to implement IPv6 applications. IPv6 video monitoring technology will in such as traffic management, emergency and other large-scale network video monitoring of the application in the industry. For example, the Beijing Olympic Games, video surveillance in IPv6 support for the protection of the Olympic security plays a crucial role, is the security system and the combination of IPV6 is successful cases. Now fenghuo network companies as IPv6 actively advocate, has developed a technology based on IPv6 SmartEye6000-v6 video surveillance management platform and NV2000S series video front-end coding device.

IPv6 is an opportunity, security enterprise and how to effectively utilize the advantages of IPv6 to optimize the product, improve product functionality, rich product application is the key to seize this opportunity.

Application: network transition is critical

The current IPv6 in China Security's mass application time is not ripe, IP network also is mainly dominated by IPv4 to IPv6 transition, there is a certain distance to go, but network IPv6 is a general trend, the current mainstream network equipment providers already offer IPv6 solutions, while telecom operators have started to plan the deployment of IPv6 network.

Once the underlying network IPv6 transition is complete, network video monitoring equipment will transition to IPv6 technology.

Network video monitoring device from IPv4 to IPv6 transition are not technically difficult, major technology transition is the device's network module support for IPv4 protocol stack to IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, and eventually transition to support IPv6 protocol stack, on the video encoding does not have a significant impact.

Overall, the emergence of IPv6 on network video monitoring of development is to promote the role of, essentially on the basis of a video stream of optimization, hosting environment will enable network video monitoring scenarios and applications of content-rich.

Ireland wishes to make use of security cameras for fall of meteorites

Ireland's security camera (securitycamera) perhaps scientists find 5 night descends to Earth of meteorites.

It is reported that many parts of the 5 day everyone in the United Kingdom daylight saving time 12: 30 pm saw the bright meteors, some people in many bonnigal, some people are in Cork, and the two local 187 miles apart.

Ireland Astronomical Society President David · Moore said he believes the big Fireball is a piece of space rock, it crashed somewhere in Ireland.

So he asked residents to report to the Astronomical Society of Ireland 5 day and night to see this strange phenomena, and they captured this shooting star video sent to the Council. He told United Kingdom broadcasters said: "we are convinced that it was a space rock, this shooting star may have formed a meteorite. We are called on people to send us the related reports, we hope to be on the basis of this information for the determination of its falling trajectory, calculate it fall where in Ireland. ”

Most of the Meteor's volume ratio of sand, flying into the Earth's atmosphere by the fastest available 100000 miles per hour, and then immediately vaporization, form the light, become beautiful Meteor.

If the volume ratio of the full moon of the fireball, it falls to the Earth, there may be some that haven't been burning up the rock, finally fell to the Earth, this is the meteorite. These celestial bodies are believed to have Apple so big, it looks like a piece of molten rock.

In the last century in Ireland only found two star, a dual card in 1999, Lou County over another in the sky from Northern Ireland in 1969.

So far I haven't received the Meteor event photos, but security camera may offer some clues.

Moore said: "the car park or outdoor installation of security cameras, perhaps the chance to photograph the Meteor falls to Earth in the process.

So if someone got this video or photos, we very much want to see. We believe that this star is from Western to central regions of Ireland, this means that Ireland's everyone could see it. We have received reports from Cork's witness, the witness reports from multiple bonnigal. ”

Military experts say Russian bombing alert global terrorist attacks in transition (1)

29 March, Russia Moscow subway explosions occurred, riot police after the explosion of the subway exit patrol

2010 has just the past three months, almost daily hot constantly.

When people are addicted to the financial crisis, psychologically, all kinds of weather disasters, geological hazards has quietly come. People are struggling to cope with, utterly exhausted and had to turn manufacturing of explosions in Moscow subway terrorist, multi-pronged they may just be the next attacks targeted at your side, the terrorist attacks of the alarm sounds in the world again.

Perspective 1: terrorist attack in transition

Moscow time on 29 March and 7 a.m., docked at the Moscow Lubyanka Metro station of the train in a car explosion.

After less than one hour, the same Metro line culture Park station or an explosion. On the day of the Russian security services said, "manufacturing Moscow subway explosions in two female suicide attackers and the North Caucasus." The Russian Government to 30 March to Moscow of mourning. Chechen anti-Government armed March 31 in Internet publishing news, claims that "on 29 March took place in Moscow subway bombing of two responsible". Chechnya's terrorist Umarov also threatened in video: "the explosive action will continue in the territory of Russia, the war will come to you, let you experience the war in life. ”

This is not only threatening, it can be said is a manifesto of terrorist attacks, a new round of attacks may be quickly spread throughout the territory of Russia.

By explosions in Russia subway, global terrorist attacks in the transition.

First of all be playing politics.

Terrorist attacks rise through social conflicts, as a result during attack social instability. Since last year Russia affected by financial crisis, prices, public dissatisfaction with rendering. Coupled with the Russia-Georgia war, Western and await the reprisal against Russia. Chechen rebel groups use this period of international climate, domestic social environment to make a big fuss about manufacturing serial terrorist attacks, in order to achieve the purpose of disrupting the social order, which is no longer like Chechnya war, terrorist with pure vengeance and terrorist attacks. It is precisely this explosion in Russia more than a dozen cities appears anti-Putin small demonstrations occurred, the Chechen rebel groups are using this excellent opportunity to create social chaos, shaken jemeppe regime.

Followed by training in the military.

Terrorists long preparation, suicide bombers are well-trained, close to the paramilitary forces. In Russian, those engaged in terrorist activities of a woman known as "black widow". The "black widow" is generally in the Chechen war dead relatives, in order to revenge they become terrorist tools. They not only professionally trained, also experienced a religious ceremony, once elected, no retreat. The "black widow" combat levels high, they can easily through Moscow security checks, quiet fire bomb, is no longer the Bolshoi hostage incident look toned appearance. In a series of attacks, "black widow" action practice using very fine details, is perfect. Description of the Chechen rebel groups attack on Moscow ready for a long-term, advance walkthrough is very mature.

Third, the selected target.

The target of terrorist acts, and more specifically, the target location and more carefully selected. To expand the impact of terrorist attacks target countries of the edge necessary from the regions to the core area of expansion. Moscow has become the preferred target of terrorist attacks and permanent goal is the world's only major terrorist attacks, repeated by the famous big cities. Chechen terrorists that approach will play an exemplary role, warning capitals will become the preferred destination for terrorist attacks and permanent target.

Similarly, the attacks on places with exemplary, Metro and Metro station will be the most likely suffered from attacks of core objectives.

From the perspective of the history of the terrorist attacks, combined with the London subway attack, Tokyo subway gas attack, it is clear that features, Metro and dense, internationalization features prominent, large explosive lethal attacks extremely difficult evacuation after population, reach range, media effects, go easy, than hijacking SBG.

Pivot two: anti-terrorism operations also in transition

After sweeping the Moscow explosions, the entire country in the sad and emotional.

But it is not too sad loss of sanity, rescue operations, respond quickly and effectively. Russian President Medvedev said, "will not allow militants in Russia sowing fear." Prime Minister Vladimir Putin also on terrorists evolve and relentless, "even if they are hidden to the toilet spot you want to put them into the toilet." Russia strongly sector to investigate the bombings, but also quickly took a series of emergency security measures. The Russian Government is also seeking and OECD, United States on strengthening counter-terrorism cooperation, establish a counter-terrorism cooperation mechanisms. From here you can see, the global terrorist attacks or in transition, to truly become a comprehensive emergency project.

A complete set of the RFID system working principle and structure

A complete set of the RFID system, is a reader (Reader) and the electronic label (TAG) that is called a transponder (Transponder) and application software system consists of three parts, its working principle is a specific frequency Reader emits radio frequency energy to Transponder for internal actuation Transponder circuit will be sent out of the data, in order to receive Reader will interpret the data, given to the application accordingly.

RFID card readers and electronic communication between the label and the energy inductive way generally can be divided into, inductive coupling (InductiveCoupling) and backscatter coupling (BackscatterCoupling) two, most low-frequency RFID in general the first type, and a high-frequency most of the second kind of way.

Reader according to the use of structures and technologies can be read or read/write device, is the RFID system information control and processing centres.

Readers typically consists of coupling module, transceiver modules, control module and interface modules. Readers and portable between generally use half-duplex communication for the exchange of information, while the reader through the coupling to passive transponders provide energy and time series. In practice, you can further through Ethernet or WLAN, and other identifying information for objects of the collection, processing and remote transmission and other management functions. Transponder is RFID system information carriers, the transponder is mostly original by coupling (microstrip antenna coil, etc) and micro-chips on passive unit.

Transponder typically contain:

A. antenna: used to receive the signal sent from the reader, and the requested data back to the reader.

B.AC/DC circuit: the card reader sent over radio frequency signals converted to DC power supply, and the large capacitance stored energy, then by the regulator to provide stable power supply.

C. demodulation circuit: removal of the carrier to remove the genuine modulated signal.

D. logic control circuit: decoding the sent from the reader signals, and in accordance with the requirements of the echo data to the reader.

E. memory: for system operation and identification of the location of the data stored.

F. modulation circuit: logic control circuit is sent out after the data has been loaded into the modulation circuit giving readers an antenna.

Readers often contains:

A. antenna: to send a wireless signal to the Tag and the Tag response back data receive back.

B. system frequency generator: generate system operating frequency.

Monitoring technology from the 1980s into the country, along with the security requirements of a sharp increase has been developing rapidly, from a technical point of view, has undergone a number of different stages of development.

As computer technology development and popularization of the Internet, at present, the video surveillance has been developed to monitor the network multimedia system.

Next-generation video surveillance management system and the previous generation of video surveillance system is the fundamental difference is that it is no longer limited to simply complete on video signal processing, transmission and control, its core is based on the IP network of multimedia information (video/audio/data) provides an integrated, comprehensive management control platform.

Network multimedia monitoring system Web-based to digital video compression, transmission, storage and play as the core, smart and practical features of image analysis and alarm systems, access control system into a platform on the video surveillance industry of a technical revolution, swift has been the security industry and user attention. Network monitoring and management systems, multimedia can be widely used multimedia video dispatching, network video monitoring and meeting, multi-media webcast, online teaching, and telemedicine.

Network multimedia monitoring system monitoring and management by a network of multimedia platforms and front-end information acquisition devices, whose core is the network monitoring and management of multimedia platforms.

Network monitoring and management of multimedia platforms set computer network, telecommunications, video, streaming media, and automation technology, is video, audio, data and graphic integration solutions, and network video surveillance, video conferencing, video, broadcast, and other functions that have the super large-scale networking capability is built on top of LAN/Internet networks, support for multiple transports of integrated multimedia business management platform, its application is far beyond the control of the content covered by itself.

Network multimedia video server (NetworkMediaVideoSever, NMVS) is responsible for the front end of the video processing part, it also has a network video server network transport functions and DVR storage capabilities (VideoSever + DVR), NMVS is a video, audio, data compression, storage and processing of special computer equipment, video surveillance, Internet, IP video conferencing, video live broadcasting and VOD, and so has a wide range of applications.

NMVS uses the most advanced MPEG-4 or H.264 compression format such as, in line with specifications for video data compression, in order to meet the requirements of the storage and transport.

Video system characteristics of storage requirements

Video surveillance on the storage requirements are the following characteristics:

1. storage capacity demand elasticity is relatively large, storing more with the picture quality, screen sizes increase, the increase of video line will be multiplied by the increase in capacity requirements.

2. performance requirements for storage is not high, but need to be able to meet the long continuous data read/write, data flow is large but the number of access requests.

3. the data is saved and the cycle time is short, the General monitoring site data saved some time (e.g. 1-month) can be deleted later.

For video surveillance programmes choose suitable storage device, first to estimate storage requirements.

So now the mainstream of the compression method to calculate as follows:

MPEG4 compression method: 200MB/hour/road;

H.264 compression method: 150MB/hour/road
