Abstract
Recently, radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been applied to various industrial fields. It is used for various health-care purposes such as patient information management and health management, thereby providing convenience for both hospital officials and patients. However, the RFID system also presents various health-care security threats such as spoofing attacks and counterfeit attacks in the data communication between the server, reader, and tag, which adversely affect both hospital officials and patients. An RFID mutual authentication technique is thus required, and various such techniques have already been proposed. Research is being conducted for performing RFID mutual authentication using bit operation or based on a lightweight public key cryptosystem for application to a low-cost tag environment. In this study, we analyze the RFID mutual authentication protocol for RFID medical devices and propose an efficient, lightweight mutual authentication scheme for secure RFID medical devices by satisfying various security requirements and decreasing the computation cost.
Highlights
With the development of information and communication technology, we are said to be living in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) age
We propose a lightweight radio-frequency identification (RFID) mutual authentication protocol in a low-cost tag environment by comparing and analyzing the RFID mutual authentication scheme proposed for a medical environment, using bit operation and lightweight encryption NTRU(N-th degree TRUncated polynomial ring) to satisfy various security requirements and increase system efficiency
The proposed scheme is focused on improving the efficiency by reducing the computation and ensuring safety from various security threats when compared with the existing RFID mutual authentication schemes
Summary
With the development of information and communication technology, we are said to be living in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) age. RFID technology has been used in various industrial fields such as distribution, manufacturing, logistics, defense, and traffic. It is widely used as a method for ensuring convenience and accuracy in its applications to medical equipment and medical products in a health-care environment. In the health-care field, RFID technology creates various security threats, such as patient data being forged by an attacker, eavesdropping on communicated data, spoofing and replay attacks, or tracking of a patient’s location. Studies are being conducted on RFID mutual authentication that requires less computation and are based on a low-cost tag environment and lightweight cryptosystem. We propose a lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol in a low-cost tag environment by comparing and analyzing the RFID mutual authentication scheme proposed for a medical environment, using bit operation and lightweight encryption NTRU(N-th degree TRUncated polynomial ring) to satisfy various security requirements and increase system efficiency
