Abstract

In this paper, we propose a tamper resistant prescription RFID access control protocol for different authorized readers. Not only the authentication mechanism but also the access right authorization mechanism is designed in our scheme. Only the specific doctor, usually the patient’s doctor, can access the tag. Moreover, some related information of patient’s prescription is attached to a RFID tag for tamper resistance. The patients’ rights will be guaranteed.
