Security and privacy on authentication protocol for low-cost RFID

Abstract

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification system, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data about objects we want to manage using devices called RFID tag. Even though RFID system is widely used for industrial and individual applications, RFID tag has a serious privacy problem, i.e., traceability. To protect the users from tracing and also to support Low-cost RFID, we propose an authentication protocol which can be adopted for read-only RFID tag using XOR computation and Partial ID concept. The proposed protocol is secure against reply attacking, eavesdropping, and spoofing attacking so that avoiding the location privacy exposure. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
