“…The protocols [7][8][9][10][11][12] use the Hash operation to search the database for the target tag, and we call their method as the one-layer-Hash indexing mechanism, short as 1-Hash. The protocols [13][14][15] use the PRNG operation to replace the Hash operation such that they can conform to the EPC class-1 generation-2 standard, and we call the tag indexing method that they use as one-layer-PRNG indexing mechanism, short as 1-PRNG. Our two-layer tag indexing mechanism can be denoted by 2-PRNG.…”

SUMMARYDuring the radio-frequency identification authentication process, it is of great significance to quickly find out the target tag from all tags stored in the database, because it affects the authentication performance to a great extent. Most of the existing schemes use the Hash or pseudorandom number generator operation to locate the target tag, but if the number of tags is extremely large, vast Hash or pseudorandom number generator operations may take much time and lower the authentication efficiency. To locate the target tag quickly, the RAP and LADP protocols adopt the simple value comparison method, and the back-end server can easily find the target tag by directly comparing the received index-pseudonym value with those stored in the database. This method does improve the authentication performance, but it results that these schemes suffer from the tag tracking attack. Motivated by these concerns, we propose a novel tag indexing method called the two-layer tag indexing mechanism, and at the same time, we give a lightweight radio-frequency identification authentication protocol based on it. Analyses show that our scheme can effectively resist the tag tracking attack and is almost as efficient as the RAP and LADP protocols in indexing tags.

Abstract-The emergence of RFID applications has huge influence to become pervasive in modern life. However the vulnerability of the transmission through the air and the unique identification number of RFID tag are the drawbacks that impact the popularity of RFID technology. In this paper, a mutual authentication protocol is proposed based on the challengeresponse model. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is used as a cryptographic primitive to secure the data. The experimental works are carried out to validate the protocol in term of security and privacy. The timing analysis is also presented and applied to a case study of conveyor belt system.

“…• Desynchronization: This is an active attack in which a malicious adversary tries to cause the tag and the reader to update inconsistent values and make tag disabled [11]. In recent years, many researchers have tried to propose lightweight and secure authentication protocols [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24], but unfortunately many vulnerabilities have been found in their schemes [25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38]. Recently Fu et al [39] proposed a scalable RFID mutual authentication and Li et al [40] suggested a mutual authentication protocol for RFID communication.…”
