A study on secure RFID mutual authentication scheme in pervasive computing environment

RFID is popular to be used in plenty of applications with its capability of remote automatic identification. However, information transmitted wirelessly is under the treats of eavesdropping, interception, or modification because of the nature of the transmission media. Thus, Yeh et al. proposed an RFID authentication scheme based on quadratic residues by improving Chen et al.'s. However, we find that the server needs to maintain the obsolete shared secret key to resist DoS (Denial of Service) attack in both schemes. To overcome this drawback and improve the computation load, an improvement will be given with simple operations, one-way hash function and XOR operations. The proposed scheme can defend against possible attacks and be suitable for applications requiring efficiency and security at the same time.

In this paper we present a novel approach to authentication and privacy in RFID systems based on the minimum disclosure property and in conformance to EPC Class-1 Gen-2 specifications. We take into account the computational constraints of EPC Class-1 Gen-2 passive RFID tags and only the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and pseudo random number generator (PRNG) functions that passive RFID tags are capable of are employed. Detailed security analysis of our scheme shows that it can offer robust security properties in terms of tag anonymity and tag untraceability while at the same time being robust to replay, tag impersonation and desynchronisation attacks. Simulations results are also presented to study the scalability of the proposed scheme and its impact on authentication delay.
