Abstract
RFID is an important technology that can be used to create
the ubiquitous society. An RFID system uses open radio wave
to transfer information and this leads to pose a serious threat
to its privacy and security. The current mainstream RFID tags
are some low-cost passive tags. They usually have very limited
computing and memory resources and this makes it difficult
to solve their security and privacy problems. Lightweight
authentication protocols are considered as an effective
approach to assure the security and privacy of the low-cost
RFID systems. Some typical authentication protocols usually
use Hash functions so that they require more computing and
memory resources. Rabin cryptosystem is a simple encryption
function and it needs less computing and memory resources
than Hash functions. Based on Rabin cryptosystem, we
propose a lightweight authentication protocol. This protocol
provides forward security and it can prevent information
leakage, location tracing, eavesdropping, replay attack,
spoofing, and DOS-attack effectively. It is very suitable to
some low-cost RFID systems.
