Medication errors can cause substantial harm to patients. Automated patient medication systems with RFID technology is purposely used to reduce the medication error, to improve the patient safety, to provide personalized patient medication and identification and also to provide counterfeit protection to the patients. In order to enhance medication safety for patients we propose a new dynamic ID...

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...

Since security and privacy problems in RFID systems have attracted much attention, numerous RFID authentication protocols have been suggested. One of the various design approaches is to use light-weight logics such as bitwise Boolean operations and addition modulo 2 between m-bits words. Because these operations can be implemented in a small chip area, that is the major requirement in RFID prot...

The use of RFID technology in complex and distributed environments often leads to a multi-domain RFID system in which security issues such as authentication of tags and readers, granting access to data, and revocation of readers turn into an administrative challenge. In this paper, we propose a new public-key-based mutual authentication protocol that addresses the reader revocation problem whil...

For the purposes of information security and privacy between readers and tags, identity authentication is a significant issue for radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. In this study, the authors propose a novel security group-based key array authentication protocol, which is suitable for a large scale RFID environment. Based on a key array, this protocol can generate an authentication ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is one of the most emerging technologies in the field of pervasive systems, which provides the automatic identification of the object with non-line of sight capability. RFID is much better than its contending identification scheme (Bar code) in terms of efficiency and functional haste. Although it offers many advantages over other identification ...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has spread into many fields. Its security and privacy has received more and more attention. Based on traditional authentication protocols, some other branches related to practical applications have been introduced including server-less authentication and searching protocols. The server-less searching protocol is extended from server-less authentication prot...

Out of the large number of RFID security protocols proposed in recent years none have proven to be truly secure and the creation of a truly secure security protocol for systems employing low cost RFID tags remains an open problem. In this paper we develop and present a RFID security protocol which not only allows mutual authentication and secure transmission of data between the reader and tag b...

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...

In this letter, we propose a privacy-preserving authentication protocol with RSA cryptosystem in an RFID environment. For both overcoming the resource restriction and strengthening security, our protocol uses only modular exponentiation with exponent three at RFID tag side, with the padded random message whose length is greater than one-sixth of the whole message length. key words: cryptography...
