Cryptography and protocols of identification and authentication applied to Radio Frequency Identification systems

Abstract

A way of creating Radio Frequency Identification systems more secure relies on cryptography. Taking into consideration the security and privacy of RFID systems, this paper outlines a chaotical matter on the RFID protocols, by pointing out essential issues: discovering what types of RFID protocols of identification or authentication are most recommended to various RFID systems. Critical examinations as regards the RFID security and privacy have determined wide thoughts over the time. Radio Frequency Identification applications have assumed two important hierarchies: solutions aiming to offer security to RFID systems and solutions aiming to offer functionality, with no security issues. An essential matter so as to establish and design the RFID protocols consists in defining their aim. Two RFID protocols of identification and authentication will be examined in this paper, so as to analyze the strong points and to find solutions for the weak or jeopardizing points that threaten the security and privacy of RFID structures. Reaching the best security and privacy solutions, the use of RFID systems will bring visibility within developing business strategies or logistics processes, in thoroughly transparency.
