“…RFID tags [3]. While a number of lightweight authentication protocols have been proposed in [4,5,6,7,8], none of them offers a complete security solution in the context of the key three qualities of lightweight mutual authentication, availability and tag unclonability. Therefore, none of them is truly secure solution in providing fraud protection, secure access and anti-counterfeiting.…”

“…Therefore, none of them is truly secure solution in providing fraud protection, secure access and anti-counterfeiting. For example, none of the schemes proposed in [4,5,6] protect against physical cloning attacks. The WIPR protocol proposed by Arbit et al [4] uses the shared public key pre-installed in the tag memory and is vulnerable to tag cloning attack and does not provide mutual authentication.…”

Counterfeited products are costing the global economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Radio frequency identification(RFID) technology provides a promising solution for this problem, wherein each product is fitted with a secure tag, which is difficult to forge. However, RFID technology is faced with numerous security threats, for example, if the communication link between the reader and the tag is compromised, then it will be possible for a malicious adversary to obtain the private data stored on the device. Tag cloning attacks have also been demonstrated to be feasible, which severely undermines the capabilities of the RFID technology to protect against counterfeiting. One solution to this problem is the use of authentication protocol; however, existing schemes do not support mutual authentication and are still vulnerable to tag cloning attacks. In this paper, a new security mechanism is proposed, which consists of a lightweight three-flights mutual authentication protocol and an anti-counterfeit tag design. The proposed solution is based on combining the Rabin public-key encryption scheme with physically unclonable functions (PUF) technology. The security of the proposed protocol is systematically analysed and compared with existing schemes. The implementation cost of the proposed security primitives, assuming the 1024-bit public key, is 10139 GEs, which is suitable for low-cost RFID tags. Our results show that the proposed design is up-to 50% more area-efficient compared to systems based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).

“…Most of these implementation efforts are concentrated on reducing the register number of elliptic curve cryptography processor without considering the practical applications, such as the transaction time. Generally, the total transaction time of RFID is required less than 300 ms [ 14 ]. However, most papers for RFID show that the time consumption to finish one point multiplication is over or close to 300 ms.…”

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an important technique for wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things. Recently, considerable research has been performed in the combination of public key cryptography and RFID. In this paper, an efficient architecture of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Processor for RFID tag chip is presented. We adopt a new inversion algorithm which requires fewer registers to store variables than the traditional schemes. A new method for coordinate swapping is proposed, which can reduce the complexity of the controller and shorten the time of iterative calculation effectively. A modified circular shift register architecture is presented in this paper, which is an effective way to reduce the area of register files. Clock gating and asynchronous counter are exploited to reduce the power consumption. The simulation and synthesis results show that the time needed for one elliptic curve scalar point multiplication over GF(2163) is 176.7 K clock cycles and the gate area is 13.8 K with UMC 0.13 μm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Moreover, the low power and low cost consumption make the Elliptic Curve Cryptography Processor (ECP) a prospective candidate for application in the RFID tag chip.
