A New Strong Adversary Model for RFID Authentication Protocols

A Forward Privacy Model for RFID Authentication Protocols

In this paper, we propose a new variant of indistinguishabilitybased security model for the RFID authentication protocol, which allows an adversary to obtain an authentication result and secret key of a target tag. Ng et al. showed that symmetric-key based RFID authentication protocols cannot be resilient to the above information leakage simultaneously in the Paise-Vaudenay security model. We r...

On RFID Authentication Protocols with Wide-Strong Privacy

Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag privacy is an important issue to RFID security. To date, there have been several attempts to achieve the wide-strong privacy by using zero-knowledge protocols. In this paper, we launch an attack on the recent zero-knowledge based identification protocol for RFID, which was claimed to capture wide-strong privacy, and show that this protocol is flawed. Su...

RFID Protocols and Authentication

Lightweight RFID Authentication Protocols for Special Schemes

This thesis addresses the problem of providing secure protocols for the practical application of low cost Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags. This is particularly challenging because the tags are limited in cryptographic functionality and general performance, but also when there is a need to read multiple tags in a range of practical environments whilst maintaining data privacy. Several...

Privacy Models for RFID Authentication Protocols

Privacy is a major concern in RFID systems, especially with widespread deployment of wireless enabled interconnected personal devices. In this paper, we consider privacy issues in RFID systems where the authorized readers must be able to identify tags without an adversary being able to trace them, and provide a formal security model for privacy in RFID system. Under this model, we analyze the r...
