A variant of HB protocols based on permutation for low-cost RFID

Abstract

The security issues of RFID technology have been subject of a large number of research documents for over a decade. Several protocols have been developed to ensure reliable access control, namely a family of lightweight authentication protocols since Hopper and Blum proposed the HB protocol in 2001. Taking into account security and performance aspects, we present a new protocol derived from HB+ in which we add the permutation function, providing more effective resistant execution environment of active attacks and with roughly the same complexity.
