The Improvement of RFID Authentication Protocols Based on R-RAPSE

Numerous RFID authentication protocols proposed often have some security vulnerabilities, since they lack systematic theory support. We had proposed a series of rules called R-RAPSE (RFID Authentication Protocol Security Enhanced Rules) for RFID authentication protocol design and verification. By three examples, this paper justifies why the protocols do not offer sufficient security and privacy protection, and thereafter, proposes relevant solutions to fix the security holes based on R-RAPSE, which demonstrates how R-RAPSE can be used to verify and improve RFID authentication protocols.
