In 2004, Ari Juels [1] proposed a Yoking-Proofs protocol for RFID systems. The aim is to permit tags to generate a proof which is verifiable off-line by a trusted entity even when the readers are potentially untrusted. However, we find that their protocol not only doesn’t possess the anonymity property but also suffers from both of the off-line and replay attacks. In 2006, Kirk H.M. Wong et al....

The threat of relay attacks on authentication protocols is often well recognized, especially for contactless applications like RFID chips. It is, therefore, a bit surprising to meet an implementation that actually encourages rather than eliminates these attacks. We present our experimental observations concerning Czech e-passports. These show clearly an inherent weakness rooted in lower layers ...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are getting pervasively deployed in many daily life applications. But this increased usage of RFID systems brings some serious problems together, security and privacy. In some applications, ownership transfer of RFID labels is sine qua non need. Specifically, the owner of RFID tag might be required to change several times during its lifetime. Beside...

Over the past decade, besides authentication, ownership management protocols have been suggested to transfer or delegate the ownership of RFID tagged items. Recently, Niu et al. have proposed an authentication and ownership management protocol based on 16-bit pseudo random number generators and exclusive-or operations which both can be easily implemented on low-cost RFID passive tags in EPC glo...

In the last decade RFID technology has become widespread. It can be found in various fields of our daily life. Due to the rapid development more and more security problems were raised. Since tags have limited memory and very low computational capacity a so-called lightweight authentication is needed. Several protocols have been proposed to resolve security and privacy issues in RFID systems. Ho...

While RFID systems are one of the key enablers helping the prototype of pervasive computer applications, the deployment of RFID technologies also comes with new privacy and security concerns ranging from people tracking and industrial espionage to product cloning and denial of service. Cryptographic solutions to tackle these issues were in general challenged by the limited resources of RFID tag...

Speaker: Professor Guang Gong Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology for the automated identification of physical entities using radio frequency transmissions. In the past ten years, RFID systems have gained popularity in many applications, such as supply chain management, library systems, e-passports, contactless cards, identification systems, and human implantation. R...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a crucial component of the Internet Things (IoT), and RFID using elliptic curve Cryptography (ECC) public key cryptosystem authentication approach that tackles problem electronic tag data encryption in systems. The commercialisation large-scale deployment systems has raised number security-related issues suggest need for security protocols. Logic events ...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are gaining enormous interests at industry due to their vast applications such as supply chain, access control, inventory, transport, health care and home appliances. Although tag identification is the primary security goal of an RFID system, privacy issue is equally, even more, important concern in RFID system because of pervasiveness of RFID tags....

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that is very popular due to the simplicity in its technology and high adaptability in a variety of areas. The simplicity in the technology, however, comes with a caveat – RFID tags have severe resource restrictions, which make them vulnerable to a range of security attacks. Such vulnerability often results in the loss of privacy of the tag o...
