A lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol with ownership transfer

Abstract

By analyzing Jin et al's protocol, we find it doesn't resist replay attack and man-in-the-middle attack. And then , based on the improvement of the Rabin encryption scheme (SQUASH function), a new lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol is proposed,which satisfies security requirement: untraceability, denial of service(DoS) resistance, man-in-the-middle attack resistance, replay attack resistance and forward security etc. And the new proposed protocol can support secure ownership transfer between the current tag owner and the new one. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
