Security framework of Ultralightweight Mutual Authentication Protocols for low cost RFID tags

Abstract

RFID is one of the rapidly growing identification schemes. Unique identification, non-line of sight capability and functional haste result its massive deployment in many supply chain applications. Because of limited computational capabilities at tag side Ultra lightweight protocols are the only solution to ensure secure communication in RFID systems. In this paper we have presented a detailed working of three eminent UMAPs. Further, a generic desynchronization attack model on these UMAPs has been discussed. Then finally, a novel security framework for low cost UMAPs has been presented to avoid all possible desynchronization attacks. The proposed security model is generic in nature therefore can be implemented to all upcoming UMAPs as well.
