Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems are becoming more popular today because of the wide area of applications. It is being used in several industries such as the transport industry, sports, medical and government institutions. Its advantages such as the capacity to store more information than other identification technologies as well as the ease with which data can be read (since it doesn't require line of sight and human intervention), have sparked its widespread use and implementation in the various industries. The most widely used class of RFID tags is the class 1 tag because it offers identification functionality at low cost. Class 1 tags have limited computational power and memory resources. Due to these limitations, common authentication protocols such as AES cannot be implemented on the class 1 tags. As these tags provide essential implementation capabilities for development countries such as South Africa, it is vital that researchers focus on providing adequate security solutions. Taking into account the information security needs and performance limitations of the class 1 tags, we present a lightweight protocol based on the Hopper and Blum's human authentication protocol.
