Abstract

The wide deployment of RFID systems has raised many concerns about the security and privacy. Many RFID authentication protocols are proposed for these low-cost RFID tags. However, most of existing RFID authentication protocols suffer from some feasible problems. In this paper, we first discuss the feasible problems that exist in some RFID authentication protocols. Then we propose a lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol against these feasible problems. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first scalable RFID authentication protocol that based on the SQUASH scheme. The new protocol is lightweight and can provide the forward security. In every authentication session, the tag produces the random number and the response is fresh. It also prevents the asynchronization between the reader and the tag. Additionally, the new protocol is secure against such attacks as replay attack, denial of service attack, man-in-the-middle attack and so on. We also show that it requires less cost of computation and storage than other similar protocols.
