Abstract

A radio frequency identification(RFID) authentication protocol anonymous RFID authentication protocol(ARAP) protocol is analyzed.It is proved that ARAP protocol is vulnerable to impersonating attacks.An improved RFID mutual authentication protocol is proposed in this paper.Security analysis shows that the improved protocol can achieve mutual and anonymous authentication.The improved protocol is also resistant to impersonating attacks,tracking attacks and replay attacks.Moreover,comparing with other protocols,the improved protocol is more efficient.

Design of Secure Authentication Protocol Based on Radio Frequency Identification

LI Cui,SHI Lin

With the extensive application of Radio Frequency Identification(RFID),the contradiction between its security and computation is serious.On this background,the security defects and cost of the main RFID secure authentication protocols are analyzed.On this basis,a new authentication protocol is promoted with higher security and lower cost.Its security is verified via the strand space model,which proves that the mutual authentication of reader and tag can be realized safety and reliability.The analysis results show that the protocol is resistible to attacks such as spoofing attack,eavesdrop attack,replay attack,type flaw attack,tracking and so on,and also provides perfect forward secrecy,which has a lower computation,and is suitable for low-cost RFID system.

RFID Mutual Authentication Protocol and Performance Analysis

Wang Tu

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.

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.

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.

A New Strong Adversary Model for RFID Authentication Protocols

Mehdi Hosseinzadeh, Jan Lánský, Amir Masoud Rahmani +4 more

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems represent a key technology for ubiquitous computing and for the deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT). In RFID technology, authentication protocols are often necessary in order to confirm the identity of the parties involved (i.e. RFID readers, RFID tags and/or database servers). In this article, we analyze the security of a mutual authentication protocol proposed by Wang and Ma. Our security analysis clearly shows major security pitfalls in this protocol. Firstly, we show two approaches that an adversary may use to mislead an honest reader into thinking that it is communicating with a legitimate database. Secondly, we show how an adversary that has compromised some tags can impersonate an RFID reader to a legitimate database. Furthermore, we present a new adversary model, which pays heed on cases missed by previous proposals. In contrast to previous models where the communication between an RFID reader and a back-end server is through a secure channel, our model facilitates the security analysis of more general schemes where this communication channel (RFID reader-to-server) is insecure. This model determines whether the compromise of RFID tags has any impact on the security of the reader-to-server communication or vice versa. In a secure protocol, the possible compromise of RFID tags should not affect the RFID reader-server communication. In this paper, we show that compromising of RFID tags in Wang and Ma protocol has a direct impact on the reader-server security. Finally, we propose a new authentication protocol that offers an adequate security level and is resistant against the mentioned security risks. The security proofs of the proposed protocol are supported with Gong-Needham-Yahalom (GNY) logic and Scyther tool, which are formal methods to evaluate the security of a cryptographic protocol.
