چکیده

Pseudorandom generators are the main security tool in EPC Gen2 systems. Besides its statistical compliance with the standard, no further information is provided on its design, performance or generation scheme. We empirically analyzed EPC Gen2 pseudorandom sequences using a novel experimental setup. From our analysis, we obtained evidences that pseudorandom number generators used in different commercial IC use the same algorithm. This paper presents the results of this analysis.

Warbler: A Lightweight Pseudorandom Number Generator for EPC C1 Gen2 Passive RFID Tags

A pseudorandom number generator is an important component for implementing security functionalities on RFID tags. Most previous proposals focus on true random number generators that are usually inefficient for low-cost tags in terms of power consumption, area, and throughput. In this contribution, we propose a lightweight pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for EPC Class-1 Generation-2 (EPC C1...

Analysis and Improvement of a Pseudorandom Number Generator for EPC Gen2 Tags

The EPC Gen2 is an international standard that proposes the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the supply chain. It is designed to balance cost and functionality. The development of Gen2 tags faces, in fact, several challenging constraints such as cost, compatibility regulations, power consumption, and performance requirements. As a consequence, security on board of Gen2 tags is of...

Secure EPC Gen2 Compliant Radio Frequency Identification

The increased functionality of EPC Class1 Gen2 (EPCGen2) is making this standard a de facto specification for inexpensive tags in the RFID industry. Recently three EPCGen2 compliant protocols that address security issues were proposed in the literature. In this paper we analyze these protocols and show that they are not secure and subject to replay/impersonation and statistical analysis attacks...

A Practical Implementation Attack on Weak Pseudorandom Number Generator Designs for EPC Gen2 Tags

The Electronic Product Code Generation 2 (EPC Gen2) is an international standard that proposes the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the supply chain. It is designed to balance cost and functionality. As a consequence, security on board of EPC Gen2 tags is often minimal. It is, indeed, mainly based on the use of on board pseudorandomness, used to obscure the communication between ...

Filtering Nonlinear Feedback Shift Registers Using Welch-Gong Transformations for Securing RFID Applications

Pseudorandom number generators play an important role to provide security and privacy on radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. In particular, the EPC Class 1 Generation 2 (EPC C1 Gen2) standard uses a pseudorandom number generator in the tag identification protocol. In this paper, we first present a pseudorandom number generator, named the filtering nonlinear feedback shift register using...
