S3PR: Secure serverless search protocols for RFID

Abstract

For RFID tags to proliferate in our day to day life, they will have to offer practical, low cost and secured mechanisms for tag authentication which has been in the midst of researcher's interest for almost a decade. One extension of RFID authentication is RFID tag searching, which has not been given much attention so far. But we firmly believe that in near future tag searching will be a significant issue. In this paper we propose a lightweight and serverless RFID tag searching protocol. This protocol can search a particular tag efficiently without server's intervention. Furthermore they are secured against major security threats. © 2008 IEEE.
