Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved scheme to solve the security risks of S-S’s scheme. In order to resist the replay attack, the improved protocol uses the pseudo identifier XOR to encrypt the random number generated by the reader; the random number generated by the reader is added to the tag’s response message to resist the tag impersonation attack. In addition, this paper uses Avoine model to analyze the privacy of the improved protocol. The theoretical analysis shows that the proposed scheme can effectively resist against replay attack, tag impersonation attack, and de-synchronization attack. Moreover, the improved scheme can provide forward untraceability and tag untraceability. Compared with the existing RFID tag search protocol, the computational complexity of the tag and gate complexity on the tag side in the improved protocol is lower, the number of interaction with the reader is less, so the search for low-cost tags can be implemented more efficiently.
