Another Improvement of RAPP: An Ultra-lightweight Authentication Protocol for RFID

  • Conference paper
Intelligent Data analysis and its Applications, Volume I

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 297))

Abstract

RFID technology has received increasing attention; however, most of the RFID products lack security due to the hardware limitation of the low-cost RFID tags. Recently, an ultra-lightweight authentication protocol named RAPP has been proposed. Unfortunately, RAPP is insecure against several attacks. In this paper, we propose an improvement of RAPP. Security analysis demonstrated that our protocol can resist several kinds of attacks.
