Practical Schemes For Privacy & Security Enhanced RFID

Proper privacy protection in RFID systems is important. However, many of the schemes known are impractical. Some use hash functions instead of the more hardware efficient symmetric encryption schemes as a cryptographic primitive. Others incur a rather large time penalty at the reader side, because the reader has to perform a key search over large tag key space. Moreover, they do not allow for dynamic, fine-grained access control to the tag that cater for more complex usage
