In this paper, we point out the use of secret sharing strategies as a promising solution for managing the key distribution and recovery in the Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID)enabled supply chains. To this end, we designed a new model based on a secret sharing approach to solve the key distribution issue within the supply chains. We further proposed a secret key update protocol incorporating a resynchronisation capability to counter the disruptive effects of location tracking, replay
