Security Attacks and Enhancements to Chaotic Map-Based RFID Authentication Protocols

Security Attacks and Enhancements to Chaotic Map-Based RFID Authentication Protocols

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology has been increasingly integrated into numerous applications for authentication of objects or individuals. However, because of its limited computation power, RFID technology may cause several security and privacy issues such as tracking the owner of the tag, cloning of the tags and etc. Recently, two chaotic map-based authentication protocols have...

Defending RFID authentication protocols against DoS attacks

In this paper, we present a security weakness of a forward secure authentication protocol proposed by Tri Van Le et al. called O-FRAP which stands for Optimistic Forward secure RFID Authentication Protocol. In particular, we point out that in the O-FRAP protocol, the server can be subject to a denial-of-service attack due to a flaw in the database querying procedure. Our attack also applies to ...

Desynchronization Attacks on RFID Security Protocols

The characteristics of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems introduce growing security and privacy concerns. RFID systems need security protocols to provide confidentiality, user privacy, mutual authentication and etc. Many security protocols for the RFID system have been presented. This paper analyze several of the newest RFID security protocols which proposed by Niu et al., Fu et al....

HMAC-Based Authentication Protocol: Attacks and Improvements

As a response to a growing interest in RFID systems such as Internet of Things technology along with satisfying the security of these networks, proposing secure authentication protocols are indispensable part of the system design. Hence, authentication protocols to increase security and privacy in RFID applications have gained much attention in the literature. In this study, security and privac...
