Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology one of the most promising technologies in the field of ubiquitous computing. Indeed, RFID technology may well replace barcode technology. Although it offers many advantages over other identification systems, there are also associated security risks that are not easy to be addressed. When designing a real lightweight authentication protocol for lo...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a modern communication technology, which provides authentication and identification through a nonphysical contact. Recently, the use of this technology is almost developed in healthcare environments. Although RFID technology can prepare sagacity in systems, privacy and security issues ought to be considered before. Recently, in 2015, Li et al. proposed S...

PROTECTING PRIVACY AND ENSURING SECURITY OF RFID SYSTEMS USING PRIVATE AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS Md. Endadul Hoque Marquette University, 2010 Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems have been studied as an emerging technology for automatic identification of objects and assets in various applications ranging from inventory tracking to point of sale applications and from healthcare applicati...

The security and privacy of the tag carrier has become the bottle neck of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system development further. In this paper, we propose a robust authentication protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which meets the requirement of resource-limited RFID systems. Our protocol achieves mutual authentication and possesses lightweight feature by reducing th...

To solve the problems about securities, absence of calculation pertinence, incapability of making the most of the reader’s computation and storage capacity that emerged in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) authentication protocols, the paper proposes a Hash function based server/serverless adaptive and mutual authentication protocol of RFID based on the analysis of RFID authentication proto...

In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual authentication protocol for low-cost Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags. Although RFID systems promise a fruitful future, security and privacy concerns have affected the proliferation of the RFID technology. The proposed protocol aims to protect RFID tags against a wide variety of attacks and especially Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. We f...

With the increasing popularity of RFID applications, different authentication schemes have been proposed to provide security and privacy protection to users. Most recent RFID protocols use a central database to store the RFID tag data. An RFID reader first queries the RFID tag and returns the reply to the database. After authentication, the database returns the tag data to the reader. In this p...

Privacy is a major concern in RFID systems, especially with widespread deployment of wireless enabled interconnected personal devices. In this paper, we consider privacy issues in RFID systems where the authorized readers must be able to identify tags without an adversary being able to trace them, and provide a formal security model for privacy in RFID system. Under this model, we analyze the r...

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems are gaining enormous interests in industry due to their vast applications such as supply chain, access control, inventory, transport, health care and home appliances. Although tag identification is the primary security goal of an RFID system, privacy issue is equally, even more important concern in the RFID system because of pervasiveness of RFID ta...

Computation RFID (CRFID) expands the limit of traditional RFID by granting computational capability to RFID tags. RFID tags are powered by Radio-Frequency (RF) energy harvesting. However, CRFID tags need extra energy and processing time than traditional RFID tags to sense the environment and generate sensing data. Therefore, Dynamic Framed Slotted ALOHA (DFSA) protocol for traditional RFID is n...
