Method about the Authentication Process on the Air Interface of the Tag and the Reader in the Radio Frequency Identification System

Abstract:

As the development radio frequency identification, main researches are mainly focused on the information safety of the air interface, the communication protocol between the tag and the reader. If the air interface is not security, the information cannot be protected, bringing a serious threat to the system security. Although the physical based method can solve this problem in a certain extent, communication safety still cannot be satisfied. Therefore, in order to improve the information safety, this paper introduces a new method about how the tag and the reader authenticate each other. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the information security in the authentication process between the tag and the reader on the radio frequency identification system.
