Abstract

In recent years, with the continuous development of the Internet of Things, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has also been widely concerned. The computing power of low cost tags is limited because of their high hardware requirements. Symmetric encryption algorithms and asymmetric encryption algorithms, such as RSA, DES, AES, etc., cannot be suitable for low cost RFID protocols. Therefore, research on RFID security authentication protocols with low cost and high security has become a focus. Recently, an ultralightweight RFID authentication protocol LP2UF was proposed to provide security and prevent all possible attacks. However, it is discovered that a type of desynchronization attack can successfully break the proposed scheme. To overcome the vulnerability against desynchronization attacks, we propose here a new ultra-lightweight RFID two-way authentication protocol based on stream cipher technology that uses only XOR. The stream cipher is employed to ensure security between readers and tags. Analysis shows that our protocol can effectively resist position tracking attacks, desynchronization attacks, and replay attacks.
