Abstract

Due to advantages like global reach, cost-effective connectivity and easy maintenance, machine to machine (M2M) communication through long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A) is emerging as an infrastructure for the Internet of things (IoT). In LTE-A, base stations can be configured as evolved NodeBs (eNBs) in macrocells and home eNBs (HeNBs) in femtocells. Through these stations, connections among M2M devices can be extended in both indoor and outdoor conditions. Radio frequency identification device (RFID) has the potential to play a crucial role as an M2M device in the IoT. However, anonymous authentication of RFID in LTE-A is a challenge, as pseudonymization is used instead of anonymization in LTE-A. Moreover, a typical anonymization technique may not be suitable for RFID, because it is limited by power, storage, and computational capability. In this paper, a lightweight scheme for anonymous RFID authentication in LTE-A is proposed.
