Secure and Serverless RFID Authentication and Search Protocols

Serverless Search and Authentication Protocols for RFID

With the increasing popularity of RFID applications, different authentication schemes have been proposed to provide security and privacy protection to users. Most recent RFID protocols use a central database to store the RFID tag data. An RFID reader first queries the RFID tag and returns the reply to the database. After authentication, the database returns the tag data to the reader. In this p...

On the Security of Tan et al. Serverless RFID Authentication and Search Protocols

In this paper, we analyze the security of the mutual authentication and search protocols recently proposed by Tan et al. [20]. Our security analysis clearly highlights important security pitfalls in these. More precisely, privacy location of the tags’ holder is compromised by the authentication protocol. Moreover, the static identifier which represents the most valuable information that a tag s...

Secure and Low-cost RFID Authentication Protocols

In this paper we propose two RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) authentication protocols for secure and lowcost RFID systems. The first protocol SRAC (SemiRandomized Access Control) is designed using only a hash function as security primitives in tags. In spite of very restricted functionality, SRAC resolves not only security properties, such as the tracking problem, the forward secrecy and ...

Secure ubiquitous authentication protocols for RFID systems

In this article, the possible privacy and security threats to the radio frequency identification (RFID) systems are investigated and new authentication protocols are proposed which provide the identified privacy and security in a very efficient manner for a ubiquitous computing environment. The approach utilizes the concepts of two very different, widely known RFID protocols, i.e. the “low-cost...
