Abstract

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an integral part of our life. This term is coined for short-range radio communication technology. It is used to send and receive the digital information between stationary location and non-stationary object or between movable objects. It automates the wireless technology using radio waves to identify an object. This technology has widespread applications in the field of security, access control, transportation, etc. In this paper, we analyze an existing RFID-based protocol and demonstrate that it is insecure against impersonation attack, man-in-middle attack, server-masquerading attack, insider attack, and denial-of-service. We also propose a novel protocol, namely Encrypted Tag Identity and Secret Value Protocol, to overcome the shortcomings and loopholes existing in the surveyed protocols.
