Advances in Ultralightweight Cryptography for Low-Cost RFID Tags: Gossamer Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of ultralightweight authentication protocols that conform to low-cost tag requirements is imperative. This paper analyses the most important proposals (except for those based in hard problems such as the HB [1–3] family) in the area [4–6] and identifies the common weaknesses that have left all of them open to various attacks [7–11]. Finally, we present Gossamer, a new protocol inspired by the recently published SASI scheme [13], that was lately also the subject of a disclosure attack by Hernandez-Castro et al. [14]. Specifically, this new protocol is designed to avoid the problems of the past, and we examine in some deep its security and performance.

Yet Another Ultralightweight Authentication Protocol That Is Broken
Eghdamian and Samsudin published at ICIEIS 2011 an ultralightweight mutual authentication protocol that requires few bitwise operations. The simplicity of the design makes the protocol very suitable to low-cost RFID tags. However, we demonstrate in this paper that the long-term key shared by the reader and the tag can be recovered by an adversary with a few eavesdropped sessions only.
متن کاملTwo Ultralightweight Authentication Protocols for Low- Cost RFID Tags
The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system plays an important role in authentication, security control, supply chain management, and inventory control. Due to market consideration, low-cost RFID systems have become very popular in recent years. In many applications, such as e-passport, RFID systems need security mechanisms to resist all possible attacks and security risks. However, becaus...
متن کاملAnalysis and Enhancement of Desynchronization Attack on an Ultralightweight RFID Authentication Protocol
As low-cost RFID tags become more and more ubiquitous, it is necessary to design ultralightweight RFID authentication protocols to prevent possible attacks and threats. We reevaluate Ahmadian et al.’s desynchronization attack on the ultralightweight RFID authentication protocol with permutation (RAPP). Our results are twofold: (1) we demonstrate that the probability of the desynchronization bet...
متن کاملSecurity Flaws in a Recent Ultralightweight RFID Protocol
In 2006, Peris-Lopez et al. [1, 2, 3] initiated the design of ultralightweight RFID protocols –with the UMAP family of protocols– involving only simple bitwise logical or arithmetic operations such as bitwise XOR, OR, AND, and addition. This combination of operations was revealed later to be insufficient for security. Then, Chien et al. proposed the SASI protocol [4] with the aim of offering be...
متن کاملA One Round-Trip Ultralightweight Security Protocol for Low-Cost RFID Tags
Radio Frequency Identification systems are already used in many sensitive areas, and are likely to be adopted almost everywhere. But their massive deployment implies several security and privacy issues. Moreover, low cost RFID tags have very limited storage and computational capabilities and cannot afford classic cryptographic primitives, which makes them vulnerable to several attacks. In this ...
