Abstract
For the RFID authentication protocols based on Hash functions, there are some shortcomings, such as imperfect defense on the attacks, intensive calculation, time-consuming authentication process, and so on. By using of the dynamic-shared key and one-way feature of Hash function, a lightweight Hash-based mutual authentication protocol has been proposed and proved by SVO logic in this paper. It avoids an exhaustive search in the back-end database, and supports the transfer of ownership of the tag and the scalability of RFID system. Besides resisting the common attacks, the protocol is suitable for the RFID system that needs to be low-cost, lightweight computing and large numbers of tags, which is of significant merit for RFID application.
