Abstract
The security of the lightweight LMAP++ bidirectional authentication protocol commonly used in low-cost RFID systems is studied. The vulnerability of LMAP++ authentication protocol is analyzed, and the reason of LMAP++ authentication protocol vulnerabilities is studied. An improved lightweight LMAP++ bidirectional authentication protocol is proposed and a concrete formula is given to prove the protocol security. After comparison, the improved lightweight LMAP++ bidirectional authentication protocol can meet the security requirements such as confidentiality and traceability faced in RFID systems. Attacks such as tracking, counterfeit tags, replay, and positioning can be resisted, making it more adaptable to the security needs of low-cost RFID systems.
