Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) has been emerged as the new technology that forms the foundation of today’s intelligent and connected world. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is a fundamental component of the IoT ecosystem. When integrated with IoT systems, RFID enhances connectivity, data collection, and automation capabilities. While dealing with secure IoT infrastructure, authentication plays an imperative role. An appropriate solution to provide security for both communicating parties is mutual authentication, in which both parties get authenticated before the actual transmission. Due to the limitations and constraints of the IoT, classical cryptography methods are costly and inefficient, so lightweight authentication protocol is the best way to overcome security shortcomings in this environment. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is a promising solution for situations where resources are limited. Although intensive efforts were made in designing RFID authentication scheme based ECC for IoT applications, the majority has some security weaknesses. Therefore, our goal in this paper is to present a comprehensive survey of some of the newest ECC-authentication solutions suggested for RFID systems in the IoT environment. Finally, a discussion of security requirements of all articles is included in terms of the current features that are required to IoT solutions.
