Electronic seal is an electronic device to check the authenticity and integrity of freight containers at the point of arrival. While RFID-based eSeals are gaining more acceptances and there are also some standardization processes for these devices, a recent research revealed that the current RFID-based eSeals are vulnerable to various attacks. In this paper, we provide a feasible solution to en...

Security and privacy of RFID systems have become very important issues along with their increasing applications. Recently, Jeon and Yoon proposed a new ultra-lightweight RFID authentication protocol(RAPLT) using merge and separation operations. Since their protocol uses very lightweight bitwise operations: XOR, merge, and separation operations, it will be suitable for the applications using low...

In this paper, we propose an enhanced version of the HB-MP authentication protocol, called the HB-MP protocol. The HB-MP protocol is a lightweight authentication protocol that is suitable for use in passive radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The HB-MP protocol overcomes the man-in-the-middle attack to which the basic HB-MP protocol is vulnerable while maintaining its suitability to ...

In this paper, we analyze the security of an RFID authentication protocol proposed by Liu and Bailey [1], called Privacy and Authentication Protocol (PAP), and show its vulnerabilities and faulty assumptions. PAP is a privacy and authentication protocol designed for passive tags. The authors claim that the protocol, being resistant to commonly assumed attacks, requires little computation and pr...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology has been increasingly integrated into numerous applications for authentication of objects or individuals. However, because of its limited computation power, RFID technology may cause several security and privacy issues such as tracking the owner of the tag, cloning of the tags and etc. Recently, two chaotic map-based authentication protocols have...

Recently, due to widespread use of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems in personal applications, security and privacy of these systems have got more attention. In order to provide security and privacy of RFID users, different authentication protocols have been proposed. In 2014, Mohammadi et al. proposed an improved authentication protocol for RFID systems. They claimed that their pro...

Low cost Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags are increasingly being deployed in various practical applications these days. Security analysis of the way these tags are used in an application is a must for successful adoption of the RFID technology. Depending on the requirements of the particular application, security demands on these tags cover some or all of the aspects such as privacy, ...

RFID, capable of non-contact automatic identification using the small, low-cost RFID tags, is taking the place of barcodes to become electronic tags of the new generation. EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 specification (Gen2 in brief) has been approved as ISO18000-6C for global use, but the identity of tag (TID) is delivered in plaintext which makes insecurity. Several solutions have been propose...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is the latest technology to play an important role for object identification as a ubiquitous infrastructure. However, current low-cost RFID tags are highly resource-constrained and cannot support its long-term security, so they have potential risks and may violate privacy for their bearers. To remove security vulnerabilities, we propose a robust mutual auth...

With the increased radio frequency identification (RFID) applications different authentication schemes have been proposed in order to meet the required properties. In this paper we analyze the security of a server-less RFID authentication protocol which is proposed by Deng et al. in 2014. Deng et al. proposed an improvement over Hoque et al. protocol to overcome its vulnerability against data d...
