This document analyzes the security drawback of the Hash-based algorithm authentication protocols which is frequently used in low-cost RFID systems, and proposes a lightweight mutual authentication protocol. In the proposed protocol, all authenticated information is encrypted , the location privacy is also provided by refreshing an identifier of a tag in each session and lost massages can be recovered from many attacks such as spoofing attacks. The comparison result of the simulation experiment and the formal correctness proof of the proposed authentication protocol is based on BAN logic. It shows that the proposed protocol in this article greatly enhance the capability of verifiability, confidentiality and integrality, it also corrects the existing Hash-based protocol secure deficiency so that it is more suitable for low-cost RFID systems than those existing ones.

RFID is a key technology that can be used to create the ubiquitous society. Owing to the characteristics of RFID systems, it may pose a serious threat to privacy and security. In order to solve these problems we proposed a novel mutual authentication protocol based on NTRU which can prevent tracing, eavesdropping, replay attack, and backward traceability effectively. This protocol uses less computing and memory resources, and it is very suitable to some low-cost RFID systems.
