In the past few years, the design of RFID authentication protocols in accordance with the EPC Class-1 Generation-2 (EPC C1 G2) standards, has been one of the most important challenges in the information security domain. Although RFID systems provide user-friendly services for end-users, they can make security and privacy concerns for them. In this paper we analyze the security of an RFID mutual...

Many RFID authentication protocols have been proposed to preserve security and privacy. Nevertheless, most of these protocols are analyzed and it is shown that they can not provide security against some RFID attacks. Moreover, some of the secure ones are criticized, because they suffer from scalability at the reader/server side as in tag identification or authentication phase they require a lin...

RFID technology has many potential applications that would ease object identification seamlessly. One of its potential benefits to government is the adoption of RFID tag as embedded smart material within vehicle license plate. However, adoption of RFID in vehicle license plate is fragile from various RFID attacks while efforts to improve its security will lead to additional cost. Enhancing RFID...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are gaining enormous interests in 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 the RFID system because of pervasiveness of RFID ta...

As low-cost RFID tags become more and more ubiquitous, it is necessary to design ultralightweight RFID authentication protocols to prevent possible attacks and threats. We reevaluate Ahmadian et al.’s desynchronization attack on the ultralightweight RFID authentication protocol with permutation (RAPP). Our results are twofold: (1) we demonstrate that the probability of the desynchronization bet...

Due to the stringent computational capabilities of low-cost RFID tags, several lightweight secure authentication protocols have been proposed for an RFID-based supply chain using bitwise operations. In this paper, we study vulnerabilities associated with operations by doing cryptanalysis a protocol tags. The like rotation and XOR show that is vulnerable tag, reader, node impersonation attacks. ...
