Abstract

Radio frequency identification technology is becoming ubiquitous and as an unfortunate side effect, more and more authentication solutions come to light that have plenty of security issues to deal with. In our former contribution we introduced a solely hash-based secure authentication algorithm that is capable of providing protection against most of the well-known attacks and performs exceptionally well even in very large systems. We gave a theoretical analysis of the SLAP protocol in the point of view of security and performance. In this paper we illustrate the proposed protocol's performance characteristics with measurements carried out in a simulation environment and compare with the theoretical results. We show the effects of numerous attacks and the system's different parameters on the authentication time. Finally, we examine the performance of two other protocols chosen from the literature in order to compare with SLAP algorithm and give proper explanation for the differences between them.
