Abstract

RFID security protocol is widely discussed as an important issue, while the mutual authentication with the security agreement is mostly discussed enthusiastically. In this paper we improve HB family to achieve the property of mutual authentication, so that the user privacy can be protected. The future direction is to adapt the protocol for cloud computing.

Robust Matrix-based RFID Mutual Authentication Protocol

Eun‐Jun Yoon, Kyeoung-Ju Ha, Kee-Young Yoo

In 2006, Lee and Ahn proposed a matrix-based RFID authentication protocol which eliminates the security problems in HB and RFID authentication protocols. Their proposed protocol provides the following three merits: (1) it reduces the computational costs of the RFID tag. (2) it reduces the communication overhead between the reader and the tag. (3) it protects the user privacy. However, this paper points out that Lee and Ahn's proposed protocol is insecure to various attacks because it does not provide mutual authentication which the RFID tag does not authenticate the legality of the RFID reader unlike their claims. In addition, this paper proposes an improved matrix-based RFID mutual authentication protocol that can provide the mutual authentication. As a result, the proposed protocol not only can provide strong security and but also guarantee high efficiency because it reduces the communication rounds compare with Lee-Ahn's protocol.

Design and analysis of the light-weight mutual authentication protocol for RFID

Huixian Li

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.

Study on UHF RFID Authentication Protocol

Yuanyi Dang, Angang Zheng, Zhenliu Zhou +1 more

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.

Design and analysis of security protocol for RFID without back-end database

Yongsheng Hao, Shao-jie Ren

RFID security protocol is one of the most important ways to solve security problems of RFID system and it is the focus of current research. This article summarized and classified the common security protocols, then proposed a new mutual authentication protocol without the back-end database which aimed at the actual need of military applications and proved the correctness of the new protocol by GNY logic. Safety analysis shows that the new protocol can effectively protect privacy, prevent tracking and avoid synchronization attack and such common problems. The protocol has not only high security, but also the obvious advantage of flexibility.

An Enhanced Mutual Key Agreement Protocol for Mobile RFID-enabled Devices

Kambombo Mtoga, Eun‐Jun Yoon

Mobile RFID is a new application that uses a mobile phone as an RFID reader with wireless technology and provides a new valuable service to users by integrating RFID and ubiquitous sensor network infrastructures with mobile communication and wireless Internet. Whereas the mobile RFID system has many advantages, privacy violation problems on the reader side are very concerning to individuals and researchers. Unlike in regular RFID environments, where the communication channel between the server and reader is assumed to be secure, the communication channel between the backend server and the RFID reader in the mobile RFID system is not assumed to be safe. Therefore it has become necessary to devise a new communication protocol that secures the privacy of mobile RFID-enabled devices. Recently, Lo et al. proposed a mutual key agreement protocol that secures the authenticity and privacy of engaged mobile RFID readers by constructing a secure session key between the reader and server. However, this paper shows that this protocol does not meet all of the necessary security requirements. Therefore we developed an enhanced mutual key agreement protocol for mobile RFID-enabled devices that alleviates these concerns. We further show that our protocol can enhance data security and provide privacy protection for the reader in an unsecured mobile RFID environment, even in the presence of an active adversary.
