Design and Analysis of a New Mutual Authentication Protocol for RFID

Abstract:

This paper proposes a lightweight mutual authentication protocol for RFID. Based on the simple bit operations, it creates the random number N1 on the tag and the identifier RID on reader to protect the transmission of information, and proves the protocol security at the end. The results show that the proposed protocol can meet the security requirements of confidentiality, integrity, and traceability in RFID applications. Furthermore, the protocol can resist attacks of tracking, eavesdropping, retransmitting and the denial of service, which makes up the security defects mentioned on this paper.
