Abstract
Bob died suddenly leaving his treasure to sister Alice. Moriarty will do anything to get it, so Alice hides the treasure together with Nipper, and promptly departs. Nipper is a low-cost RFID device that responds only to Alice’s calls—making it possible for Alice to locate the hidden treasure later (she is quite forgetful) when Moriarty is not around. We study the design of Nipper, the cryptographic mechanisms that support its functionality and the security of the application.
The HMV trademark comes from a painting by Francis Barraud who inherited from his late brother Mark a fox terrier, Nipper, a cylinder phonograph and a number of Mark’s recordings [11]. The painting portrays Nipper listening to the sound emanating from the trumpet of the phonograph.
