The Vulnerability Analysis of Some Typical Hash-Based RFID Authentication Protocols

Cryptanalysis of Some RFID Authentication Protocols

Two effective attacks, namely de-synchronization attack and impersonation attack, against Ha et al. ’s LCSS RFID authentication protocol, Song and Mitchell’s protocol are identified. The former attack can break the synchronization between the RFID reader and the tag in a single protocol run so that they can not authenticate each other in any following protocol run. The latter can impersonate a ...

Another Fallen Hash-Based RFID Authentication Protocol

In this paper, we scrutinize the security of an RFID protocol [9], which has been recently proposed, and show important vulnerabilities. Our first attack is a passive one that can disclose all secret information stored on the tags’ memory. We only need to eavesdrop one session of the protocol between a tag and a legitimate reader (connected to the back-end database) and perform O(217) off-line ...

RFID Protocols and Authentication

The Study of RFID Authentication Protocols and Security of Some Popular RFID Tags

A radio frequency identification (RFID) system consists of three components: radio frequency (RF) tags (or transponders), RF readers (or transceivers), and a backend server. Tag readers inquire tags of their contents by broadcasting an RF signal, without physical contact, at a rate of several hundred tags per second and from a range of several meters. The advancements of Silicon manufacturing a...

The Improvement of RFID Authentication Protocols Based on R-RAPSE

Numerous RFID authentication protocols proposed often have some security vulnerabilities, since they lack systematic theory support. We had proposed a series of rules called R-RAPSE (RFID Authentication Protocol Security Enhanced Rules) for RFID authentication protocol design and verification. By three examples, this paper justifies why the protocols do not offer sufficient security and privacy...
