The Lightweight RFID Grouping-Proof Protocols with Identity Authentication and Forward Security

Security Analysis of Two Ultra-Lightweight RFID Authentication Protocols

In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabilities of two ultra-lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocols: LMAP and MAP, which are recently proposed by Peris-Lopez et al. We identify two effective attacks, namely De-synchronization attack and Full-disclosure attack, against their protocols. The former attack can break the synchronization between the RFID reader and the tag in a singl...

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...

A High-security RFID Grouping Proof Protocol

Several categories of RFID authentication protocols have been proposed recently, among which Jules [5] introduced a novel research direction, named yoking proof. It is used to solve the problem that two tags have to be scanned simultaneously for some reasons. Afterwards, the yoking proof was developed into the grouping proof protocol and many such protocols have been presented. However there ar...

A Lightweight RFID Authentication Protocol with Forward Security and Randomized Identifier

A survey on RFID security and provably secure grouping-proof protocols

RFID security is a relatively new research area. Within less than a decade, a large number of research papers dealing with security issues of RFID technology have appeared. In the first part of this paper, we attempt to summarise current research in the field of RFID security and discuss some of their open issues. In the second part of this paper, we address some of the open problems we suggest...
