“…As the final point, all the required information will be received by the reader. [39] In the larger environments where it may be possible that readers do not receive the (due to the noise caused by the attacker) of the tag, the tags may have updated its value without the corresponding update of the database. To avoid this problem, the tag needs to wait for an Acknowledgement (Ack) message (which comes from the reader's side) before storing its new secret value.…”

“…Whenever a tag is read, its current ID ( 〈 , 〉)is sent to the reader ( corresponds to the tag and is the number of reading). The tag's identification phase is done in three steps below [39]: 1) The tag calculates its in such a way that 〈 , 〉 = 〈 , 〉 * 〈 , − 1〉 where ( 〈 , 〉) and ( 〈 , − 1〉) are the abscissa and the coordinates of the existing and previous secret points, and presents some last bits of the input bits, and finally ‗ * ' is a none-algebraic operation over . This operation can be either a bitwise (if the field is prime) or a modular addition (if the field is binary).…”

Abstract-In this paper we derive an engineering specification for functionality, security, and implementation demands for RFID Implantable Medical Devices (IMD) requiring medical data storage and wireless communication. We illustrate the specification by sketching a secure communication protocol for RFID IMDs. The specification follows from our requirements analysis of application characteristics, legal restrictions, security requirements and ethical concerns of IMDs. In our analysis we have recognized three main types of IMD applications: identification, financial and medical/emergency. The hardware implementation constraints and security level requirements of IMD systems differ from mainstream applications of RFID. The presented specification that considers the special operating environment, delicate use cases and safety-critical functionality of IMD systems is aimed to be a conceptual platform for designing robust security schemes and long-term functional and physical reliability.Index Terms-RFID implant systems, security and privacy, hardware limitations, ethical concerns, lightweight cryptography. I. INTRODUCTIONThe developments of mobile and wireless technologies have set the infrastructure for the communication systems universally. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), one of the recent new wireless technologies, can be used to identify items tagged with an RFID tag. The identification process of RFID is executed by three major modules: an RFID tag, an RFID reader, and a back-end database system. An RFID tag communicates with an RFID reader wirelessly to identify it. The information required to complete the identification process is provided by the back-end database system, which the readers access through the Internet.Currently RFID technology is deployed in widespread applications, such as electronic passports, asset tracking, toll payments, and entrance access control. RFID tags have for some time been used for identifying animals, and analogous solutions for humans are emerging.RFID enabled implants are medical devices implanted into a human body through a surgical procedure. One of the prominent implant brands is Positive ID (formerly VeriChip). It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) read from a distance of up to 10-15 cm. Other essential data associated to the owner of the tag is kept in a centralized database. VeriMed, the commercial application of VeriChip RFID implants, is designed to be used for patient identification in healthcare.Like all wireless applications and devices, also RFID is vulnerable to interception or eavesdropping by unauthorized parties. This quite justifiably raises privacy and security concerns. If no countermeasures are in place, it is possible to read some or even all information on an RFID tag without consent, and subsequently acquire relevant information on the item bearing the tag. It is also possible to track an individual tag if its ID is known. Once a tag has been read by an attacker, if the same tag ID is identified later, it is very likel...

The security and privacy of the tag carrier has become the bottle neck of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system development further. In this paper, we propose a robust authentication protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which meets the requirement of resource-limited RFID systems. Our protocol achieves mutual authentication and possesses lightweight feature by reducing the computation cost over the tag end. Moreover, the proposed protocol possesses remarkable security properties in RFID system and the immunity against the possible malicious attacks as well as an excellent performance through the detailed security analysis. Performance evaluation and function comparison demonstrate that our protocol makes a balance between cost and security in RFID authentication protocol. Compared to the previous relevant RFID authentication protocols, our protocol improves efficiency, enhances robustness, which is well suitable for RFID tags with the scarceness of resources.

In Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), node authentication is an inherent problem since nodes enter and leave the network freely. In wireless networks, the management of identities becomes important because of the propagation medium, where problems such as the loss of node's privacy, the disclosure of personal information, and particularly identity theft and impersonation should be avoided. This paper proposes a pseudonym-based identification scheme that assures security and revocation of identities protecting identity data through advanced cryptography. The presented scheme is based on the generation of a pseudonym formed by node's real identity and an identifier assigned by a trusted third party (Identity Management Server, IMS) after an identification process. The IMS helps to achieve the privacy desired by nodes and the traceability required by law enforcement.
