Abstract
Radio frequency identification is one of the key techniques for Internet of Things, which has been widely adopted in many applications for identification. However, there exist various security and privacy issues in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. Particularly, one of the most serious threats is to clone tags for the goal of counterfeiting goods, which causes great loss and danger to customers. To solve these issues, lots of authentication protocols are proposed based on physical unclonable functions that can ensure an anti-counterfeiting feature. However, most of the existing schemes require secret parameters to be stored in tags, which are vulnerable to physical attacks that can further lead to the breach of forward secrecy. Furthermore, as far as we know, none of the existing schemes are able to solve the security and privacy problems with good scalability. Since many existing schemes rely on exhaustive searches of the backend server to validate a tag and they are not scalable for applications with a large scale database. Hence, in this paper, we propose a lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol with physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The performance analysis shows that our proposed scheme can ensure security and privacy efficiently in a scalable way.
Highlights
Radio frequency identification technology, which can obtain the information and identify objects automatically through wireless channel, is a fundamental technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) [1].Since radio frequency identification (RFID) is able to work well even in many severe environments without any artificial interference, it has been widely used in many fields such as asset tracking, supply chain management, logistic control, and so on [2]
To address the drawbacks work, we propose lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocols based on of protocol, Gossamer protocol was introduced in
We summarize our contributions as follows: Firstly, our proposed protocols can meet several crucial security requirements such as untraceability, mutual authentication, resilience of desynchronization, forward secrecy, and unclonability, which are all important in RFID systems
Summary
Radio frequency identification technology, which can obtain the information and identify objects automatically through wireless channel, is a fundamental technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) [1].Since RFID is able to work well even in many severe environments without any artificial interference, it has been widely used in many fields such as asset tracking, supply chain management, logistic control, and so on [2]. Radio frequency identification technology, which can obtain the information and identify objects automatically through wireless channel, is a fundamental technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) [1]. Each tag has its own unique identity (ID) and is attached to an object. In order to recognize an object, the reader needs to launch an identification procedure to identify the tag ID though the wireless channel between the reader and the tag. After the reader obtains the tag ID, it can further retrieve the related data of the object from the backend database with the tag ID. Due to the weakness of wireless communication, RFID suffers from security issues
