RFID authentication protocol resistant to the man-in-the-middle attack

Abstract

HB+ family protocols that based on LPN problem are effective and well suited for the Internet of Things. However, the HB+ family protocols have vulnerability on the man-in-the-middle attack. In this paper, we propose a new privacy preserving RFID authentication protocol based on the multiplication on (formula presented). By analyzing the differential property on (formula presented), we show that the protocol is resistant to the man-inthe- middle attack. Moreover, the performance analysis shows the protocol meets the demands of the large-scale RFID systems.
