In this paper, we present a passive attack for finding out the secrets used in MAP (Minimalist Mutual Authentication Protocol), which is an authentication protocol between RFID tags and RFID readers. We describe an algorithm that breaks the protocol after eavesdropping a few consecutive rounds of communication. After two eavesdropped runs of the protocol, the attacker can learn the identificati...

Massively deploying RFID systems that preserve data integrity and security is a major challenge of the coming years. Since RFID tags are extremely constrained in time and space, enforcing high level of security with excessive cryptographic computation is not possible. Secured mechanisms for tag authentication have been in the midst of researcher’s interest for almost a decade. One extension of ...

Logistical management has been advanced rapidly in these years, taking advantage of the broad connectivity of the Internet. As it becomes an important part of our lives, it also raises many challenging issues, e.g., the counterfeits of expensive goods pose a serious threat to supply chain management. As a result, path authentication becomes especially important in supply chain management, as it...

RFID technology has become popular in many applications; however, most of the RFID products lack security related functionality due to the hardware limitation of the low-cost RFID tags. In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual authentication protocol adopting error correction code for RFID. Besides, we also propose an advanced version of our protocol to provide key updating. Based on the ...

The biggest challenge for current RFID technology is to provide the necessary benefits while avoiding any threats to the privacy of its users. Although many solutions to this problem have been proposed, almost as soon as they have been introduced, methods have been found to circumvent system security and make the user vulnerable. We are proposing an advanced mutualauthentication protocol betwee...

Over the last few years, more people perform their social activities on mobile devices, such as mobile payment or mobile wallet. Mobile commerce (m-commerce) refers to manipulating electronic commerce (e-commerce) by using mobile devices and wireless networks. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology which can be employed to complete payment functions on m-commerce. As an RFID subs...

Several threats in RFID systems are obstacles to intermingle this technology into human lives. On the other hand ensuring flexible privacy mechanism has been an enormous challenge due to extremely inadequate computational storage of typical RFID tags. So in order to relieve tags from responsibility, privacy protection and security assurance was guaranteed by central server. In this paper, we de...

RFID has been more and more attention and application by people, but the existence of security and privacy problems worthy of attention is concern. The certification process analysis of several typical security protocols is based on existing RFID authentication protocol. It proposed an improved bidirectional authentication algorithm. The use of one-way HASH function can solve the security probl...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), which can be implemented in various applications, has become one of the most popular technologies for remote, automatic identification. Currently, many scientific researchers are focused on this issue with the goal of achieving high security and privacy protection. Recently, Chen et al. proposed an RFID access control protocol that can satisfy the practica...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is a contact less automatic identification system that has attracted much attention recently. It consists of RFID tags, RFID reader and back-end server. The information stored in the RFID tag is easily exposed to the outside world. So various types of attacks are possible such as bruteforce attack, eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attack. The adve...
