To assure the privacy of RFID Tags, symmetric challenge-response identification protocols have been considered. Due to the low cost requirements for tags, it has been assumed that the tampering of RFID tags is possible. In this paper, we estimate the privacy leakage of challenge-response RFID authentication protocols based on symmetric key using discrete probability under the assumption that ta...

The project ART proposes to enhance passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags with cryptographically secure authentication. Starting with a short introduction into common RFID systems with passive tags, we present a motivation why secure authentication with standardized symmetric crypto algorithms for RFID tags is necessary for many applications. We demonstrate vulnerabilities of curre...

Security in passive resource-constrained Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags is of much interest nowadays. Supply-chain, inventory management are the areas where low-cost and secure batchmode authentication of RFID tags is required. Resistance against illegal tracking, cloning, timing, and replay attacks are necessary for a secure RFID authentication scheme. Reader authentication is also...

Internet of Things (IoT) is a pervasive environment to interconnect the things like: smart objects, devices etc. in a structure like internet. Things can be interconnected in IoT if these are uniquely addressable and identifiable. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one the important radio frequency based addressing scheme in IoT. Major security challenge in resource constraint RFID networ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is appearing as a favorite technology for automated identification, which can be widely applied to many applications such as e-passport, supply chain management and ticketing. However, researchers have found many security and privacy problems along RFID technology. In recent years, many researchers are interested in RFID authentication protocols and their s...

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system plays an important role in authentication, security control, supply chain management, and inventory control. Due to market consideration, low-cost RFID systems have become very popular in recent years. In many applications, such as e-passport, RFID systems need security mechanisms to resist all possible attacks and security risks. However, becaus...

With the increasing popularity of RFID applications, different authentication schemes have been proposed to provide security and privacy protection to users. Most recent RFID protocols use a central database to store the RFID tag data. An RFID reader first queries the RFID tag and returns the reply to the database. After authentication, the database returns the tag data to the reader. In this p...

In the context of Dolev-Yao style analysis of security protocols, we investigate the security claims of a proposed strong-security RFID authentication protocol. We exhibit a flaw which has gone unnoticed in RFID protocol literature and present the resulting attacks on authentication, untraceability, and desynchronization resistance. We analyze and discuss the authors’ proofs of security. Refere...

As low-cost RFIDs with limited resources will dominate most of the RFID market, it is imperative to design lightweight RFID authentication protocols for these low-cost RFIDs. However, most of existing RFID authentication protocols either suffer from some security weaknesses or require costly operations that are not available on low-cost tags. In this paper, we analyze the security vulnerabiliti...
