“…In this case, if the tag does not perform a reliable mutual authentication, the attacker reader could impersonate readers as if it were an authentic reader in the network and transmit misleading messages to the tag. Desynchronization: The attacker tries to prevent the continuity of communication by violating the availability of Tag Cloning: In the cloning attack, an attacker first obtains confidential information from a tag, then clones the tag [2]. Thus, the security of the RFID system can be compromised by copying firmware, software, and secret keys since RFID tags deployed in remote environments are exposed to being caught physically and deceived.…”

“…In order to have a brief view of the design cost, the area of the tags in each protocol will be estimated based on the following assumptions: (2) 12145 [4] Encryption Rabin 1024-bit 80 (2) 1733 (3) (1) Serial variant (smaller area, more cycles) (2) Comparable strength recommended by NIST [25] (3) Excluding payload memory and one way function (counted later as part Table 5. Note that the area of the Rabin encryption excludes all memories (which are counted separately, see Table 4) and the one-way function (which is considered equivalent to PRNG).…”

“…RFID tagged products can be identified accurately without physical and visual contact. Therefore RFID technology reduces theft and provides tracking and dynamic pricing of products without affecting supply chain efficiency [2]. As the RFID technology is primarily needed in applications such as fraud protection, secure access and anti-counterfeiting, authentication protocols are the cornerstone in ensuring both the data confidentiality and integrity of RFID systems.…”

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).

This work ideates a novel approach for designing a QR-incorporated data encoding structure that functions as a fully-passive, chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Several concentric square-shaped resonant slots embedded strategically within a QR-patterned region constitute the tag. A functional prototype is realized over an ungrounded Duroid ® 5880 substrate, and the same is evaluated for its electromagnetic performance. The tag performs encoding of up to 118 data bits distributed across spectral and optical domain in a compact form factor measuring 55 × 55 mm 2. Possible applications of the formulated tag include multi-layer authentication for secure access control in smart cities and connected homes.
