RFID uses radio frequency waves to transfer data using components such as tag, the reader and back-end server for device identification. Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) providing unique identification and tracking any device that has a tag attached to safeguard the products and protect from unauthorized users. There are many kinds of protocols to resolve these problems have been researched. Though, the security, cost, time and task of RFID are accountable to identify the feasible authentication protocol according to the business environment. In this research article, we proposed new authentication protocol as a method to protect privacy, especially for affordable cost and functionalities and have limited power consumption, memory and effective security process. The proposed protocol called as simple symmetric key (SSK) algorithm using random integers based on modulo 37. The proposed authentication protocol is secure against spoofing and replay attack and also it is suitable to support distributed database environment.

The reliability of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) mechanism is disturbed by illegal tracking and information intercepted.The paper proposed a new active RFID authentication protocol based on the dynamic tag ID and encryption key,which transforms the tag ID using chaotic transformation during authentication and communication between the reader and tags,and realizes mutual authentication of the reader and tags.Through the analysis of security, the protocol not only can ensure the integrity, fresh and confidentiality of data, but also can effectively prevent illegal tracking labels and replay attack.

Mobile Rfid

In the traditional RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) system, a secure wired channel communication is used between the reader and the server. The newly produced mobile RFID system is different from the traditional RFID system, the communication between the reader and the server is based on a wireless channel, and the authentication protocol is suitable for traditional RFID systems, but it cannot be used in mobile RFID systems. To solve this problem, a mutual authentication protocol MSB (Most Significant Bit) for super lightweight mobile radio frequency identification system is proposed based on bit replacement operation. MSB is a bitwise operation to encrypt information and reduce the computational load of communication entities. Label, readers, and servers authenticate first and then communicate, MSB may be used to resistant to common attacks. The security analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has high security properties, the performance analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has the characteristics of low computational complexity, the formal analysis of the protocol based on GNY logic Gong et al. (1990) provides a rigorous reasoning proof process for the protocol.

Internet Of Thing

Internet of Things is one of the most important components of modern technological systems. It allows the real time synchronization and connectivity of devices with each other and with the rest of the world. The radio frequency identification system is used as node identification mechanism in the Internet of Thing networks. Since Internet of Things involve wireless channel for communication that is open for all types of malicious adversaries, therefore many security protocols have been proposed to ensure encryption over wireless channel. To reduce the overall cost of radio frequency identification enabled Internet of Thing network security, the researchers use simple bitwise logical operations such as XOR, AND, OR, and Rot and have proposed many ultralightweight mutual authentication protocols. However, almost all the previously proposed protocols were later found to be vulnerable against several attack models. Recently, a new ultralightweight mutual authentication protocol has been proposed which involves only XOR and Rotation functions in its design and claimed to be robust against all possible attack models. In this article, we have performed cryptanalysis of this recently proposed ultralightweight mutual authentication protocol and found many pitfalls and vulnerabilities in the protocol design. We have exploited weak structure of the protocol messages and proposed three attacks against the said protocol: one desynchronization and two full disclosure attacks.

Mutual Authentication Protocol

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.

Security Concern

The RFID (radio frequency identification) technology is being extensively accepted and used as a governing recognizing technology in medical management domain like information corroboration, patient records, blood transmission, etc. With more rigid security concern to RFID based authentication protocols, ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) established Radio Frequency Identification verification protocols is being expected to fit the prerequisite of security and privacy. However, abounding new published ECC based RFID protocols have severe security vulnerability. In the following paper, we have reviewed few RFID verification and authentication protocols and has compared its strengths, fragility and proposed less complex and more efficient authentication protocol.

Area Of Concern

Automatic identification systems represent a wide classification of devices used primarily in commercial settings for inventory/logistics control. Familiar examples of such devices are bar codes, magnetic strips, smart cards, RFID (Radio frequency identification) and biometric and voice recognition. Security is especially lax in low powered RF (radio frequency) systems communicating through an unsecured radio wave channel. Security represents a critical component for enabling the large scale adoption of automatic identification systems. Providing an effective security solution for low powered systems is a major area of concern; it directs research towards ‘power consumption aware’ computations in security solutions. This paper proposes a Lightweight Inter-Zonal Authentication Protocol for moving objects in low powered RF systems. Formal validation and a thorough analysis of the protocol in SPAN security tool reveals its effectiveness and resiliency to attacks – eaves dropping, reader and tag impersonation, replay and desynchronization.
