Secure ubiquitous authentication protocols for RFID systems

Secure ubiquitous authentication protocols for RFID systems

In this article, the possible privacy and security threats to the radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are investigated and new authentication protocols are proposed which provide the identified privacy and security in a very efficient manner for a ubiquitous computing environment. The approach utilizes the concepts of two very different, widely known RFID protocols, i.e. the “low-cost...

Secure and Low-cost RFID Authentication Protocols

In this paper we propose two RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) authentication protocols for secure and lowcost RFID systems. The first protocol SRAC (SemiRandomized Access Control) is designed using only a hash function as security primitives in tags. In spite of very restricted functionality, SRAC resolves not only security properties, such as the tracking problem, the forward secrecy and ...

HB and Related Lightweight Authentication Protocols for Secure RFID Tag/Reader Authentication∗

Lightweight authentication protocols are necessary in Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) applications due to tag-level constraints. Over the past few years, several such protocols have been proposed and analyzed. We focus on the HB protocol and its variants. We show the vulnerability of some of these to attacks on tags, where the adversary pretends to be a valid reader, and propose a modifie...

A Secure and Efficient Authentication Protocol for Mobile RFID Systems

AbstrAct: The design of a secure communication scheme for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems has been extensively studied in recent years in view of the awareness of individual privacy and the requirement of robust system security. Most of previous works assume the communication channel between an RFID reader and its backend server is secure and concentrate on the security enhancemen...
