Abstract:

In order to authenticate low-cost tag and protect its privacy, a lightweight radio frequency identification mutual-authentication protocol is proposed. The proposed protocol takes advantage of HB# protocol with small amount of transmission and storage, combines with physically unclonable function to protect the tag from cloning, and updates the keys to prevent location tracking. Analysis shows that it realizes mutual-authentication between the reader and the tag, and not only inherits the security properties of HB# protocol, but also can resist clone attack, read memory attack and protect privacy. At the same time, the proposed protocol can also substantially reduce the reader's burden on searching keys.

Key words: radio frequency identification, lightweight, physically unclonable function, mutual-authentication
