RFID is a key technology that can be used to create the ubiquitous society. Owing to the characteristics of RFID systems, it may pose a serious threat to privacy and security. In order to solve these problems we proposed a novel mutual authentication protocol based on NTRU which can prevent tracing, eavesdropping, replay attack, and backward traceability effectively. This protocol uses less computing and memory resources, and it is very suitable to some low-cost RFID systems.

In order to content with the security requirements of RFID system,the study uses mathematic and cryptography methods to solve these problems.Considering the security,privacy and effectiveness of RFID protocol,the paper researches the authentication protocol of the RFID system and proposes a mutual authentication protocol of RFID.Its safety and performance analysis show that the proposed protocol is relatively good in these aspects.It can prevent many security including contents privacy,location tracing,replay attack,spoofing attack,and also has forward security ability.
As for so many security vulnerabilities, such as readers' ID-disclosure attack, man-in-the-middle attack, spoofing attack in Yao's authentication protocol, we propose a Radio Frequency Identification mutual authentication protocol based on NTRU public key encryption system, and perform formal analysis with GNY logic. The protocol not only has character of once a secret, but also the session key exchanged when mutual authentication protocol completed.Main computing tasks is implemented on the readers, so the pressure of server can be reduced effectively, the position tracking and forward security issues exist in current protocols can be solved as well. Analytic result shows that the proposed mutual authentication protocol can resist replay attack, counterfeit attack, denial of service attacks and other malicious attacks,and has featuresof low computational complexity,little communication,high efficiency. It is suitable for apply this protocol in low-cost tags.
With the advantage of long distance, high speed and low cost, the UHF RFID technology has become a hot research area of RFID and it will become a fundamental technology of future information society construction. Because of the openness of RFID, RFID application takes a risk of being attacked, security and privacy issues become a constraint bottleneck to its further development. To solve the existing problems of UHF RFID authentication protocol, the article proposed a reliable RFID authentication protocol. The new protocol solves many security problems including mutual authentication, anonymity, untraceability, anti-impersonation and anti-replay.
As a non-contact identification technology, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is widely used in various Internet of Things applications. However, RFID systems are highly vulnerable to diverse attacks due to the openness of communication links between readers and tags, leading to serious security and privacy concerns. Numerous RFID authentication protocols have been designed that employ hash functions and symmetric cryptography to secure communications. Despite these efforts, such schemes generally exhibit limitations in key management flexibility and scalability, which significantly restricts their applicability in large-scale RFID deployments. Confronted with this challenge, public key cryptography offers an effective solution. Taking into account factors such as parameter size, computational complexity, and resistance to quantum attacks, the NTRU algorithm emerges as one of the most promising choices. Since the NTRU signature algorithm is highly complex and requires large parameters, there are currently only a few NTRU encryption-based RFID authentication protocols available, all of which exhibit significant security flaws-such as supporting only one-way authentication, failing to address public key distribution, and so on. Moreover, performance evaluations of the algorithm in these contexts are often incomplete. This paper proposes a mutual authentication protocol for RFID based on the NTRU encryption algorithm to address security and privacy issues. The security of the protocol is analyzed using the BAN-logic tools and some non-formalized methods, and it is further validated through simulation with the AVISPA tool. With the parameter set (N, p, q) = (443, 3, 2048), the NTRU algorithm can provide 128 bits of post-quantum security strength. This configuration not only demonstrates greater foresight at the theoretical security level but also offers significant advantages in practical energy consumption and computation time when compared to traditional algorithms such as ECC, making it a highly competitive candidate in the field of post-quantum cryptography.
A low-cost, efficient and safe mutual authentication protocol for RFID based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is proposed, specific to the security and privacy problem existed in the existing RFID authentication protocol, on the basis of deep analysis of the existing RFID protocol based on ECC.As to this proposal, mutual authentication between the tag and reader can be realized only through two sessions, under the condition of not destroying the security strength.So, the workload of calculation and system resource expense are reduced.The paper has described the protocol in detail and analyzed its security.The analysis result shows that, the protocol can resist tracking attack, replay attack, man-in-themiddle attack and other attacks, has good forward security and can realize mutual authentication between the server and the tag.Besides, it has definite practicability, due to low cost, security and scalability.
In order to solve the weakness in security and privacy and the poor performance of the existing RFID authentication protocols,a Hash-based mutual authentication protocol for RFID is proposed and its security is proved by using the provable security model,with the privacy and security features of the proposed protocol analyzed.Compared with several RFID authentication protocols with the similar structure,the proposed protocol can effectively solve the privacy and security issues of the RFID system and has significant performance advantages,because it greatly reduces the amount of storage and computation of tags,and particularly improves the search efficiency of the server database.
