An authenticated encryption based grouping proof protocol for RFID systems

Abstract

Radio frequency identification grouping proof authentication protocol is an approach to identify a set of tagged objects simultaneously. Over the past decade, several protocols in this domain have been presented, but each was weak with flawed attributes. It is essential that a grouping proof protocol be both scalable and affordable, considering its use for applications with large quantities of tags and the high level of security. In this paper, we present a secure and scalable grouping proof protocol by utilizing an encryption method that is called authenticated encryption. This encryption method provides both confidentiality and message integrity simultaneously. In addition, it can satisfy the resource limitation of passive tags. The proposed protocol eliminates the dependency among the tags' responses and provides the scalability with minimum message broadcasting. We evaluate the proposed protocol based on formal and informal security methods, and the results prove that it is robust against radio frequency identification attacks and suitable for low‐power and low‐cost devices.

A novel grouping proof authentication protocol for lightweight devices:GPAPXR+

“…Rostampour et al [24] focused on the simultaneous identification of a set of objects tagged using RFID technology, an approach named RFID grouping proof authentication protocol. Using a method called authenticated encryption, they created a new authentication method that is scalable and secure.…”

Novel designated ownership transfer with grouping proof

“…In the same year, Burmester and Munilla [9] extended earlier work on grouping proofs and group codes to capture resilient group scanning with untrusted readers. Rostampour et al [10] adopted authenticated encryption to design a scalable grouping proof protocol with message authentication code, which provides both confidentiality and message integrity simultaneously. Each tag individually computes authenticated message, and the reader is responsible for gathering the response messages of all tags in the authentication phase.…”
