The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been integrated into healthcare systems for the purpose of improving healthcare management. However, people have concerns about the security and privacy of this kind of RFID systems. In order to solve the security problems faced by RFID-based healthcare systems, a novel security authentication protocol based on Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm is designed. The protocol uses PUF technology to output unique and random responses to different excitation inputs, encrypts the authentication information sent by the tag, and uses the AES encryption algorithm to encrypt the authentication information between the cloud database and the reader. At the same time, in the authentication process, once the communicating entity completes the identity authentication of the other two entities, it immediately starts to update the key. The security analysis and formal analysis of BAN (proposed by Burrows et al.) logic prove the security and correctness of the protocol. Analysis results show that the computation cost and security performance of the proposed protocol are better than the compared protocols. Our findings will contribute to further enhancing the security for RFID healthcare systems.

Information in patients’ medical histories is subject to various security and privacy concerns. Meanwhile, any modification or error in a patient’s medical data may cause serious or even fatal harm. To protect and transfer this valuable and sensitive information in a secure manner, radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been widely adopted in healthcare systems and is being deployed in many hospitals. In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication protocol for RFID tags based on elliptic curve cryptography and advanced encryption standard. Unlike existing authentication protocols, which only send the tag ID securely, the proposed protocol could also send the valuable data stored in the tag in an encrypted pattern. The proposed protocol is not simply a theoretical construct; it has been coded and tested on an experimental RFID tag. The proposed scheme achieves mutual authentication in just two steps and satisfies all the essential security requirements of RFID-based healthcare systems.

To address the security problems caused by the fake readers, and the weakness of low authentication protocol efficiency, a new RFID security authentication protocol based on Hash function is proposed. The security ability of the protocol is compared with other protocols' and is proved by doing the formal analysis. The theoretical analysis and formal proof is presented to prove the security ability of the protocol. Consequently, the result showed that the new protocol could protect the data privacy, achieve the data synchronization, prevent the tag from location tracking, avoid information reproduction, prevent clone and counterfeit and possess forward security ability which was useful for low-cost tags.

Radio frequency identification is one of the key techniques for Internet of Things, which has been widely adopted in many applications for identification. However, there exist various security and privacy issues in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. Particularly, one of the most serious threats is to clone tags for the goal of counterfeiting goods, which causes great loss and danger to customers. To solve these issues, lots of authentication protocols are proposed based on physical unclonable functions that can ensure an anti-counterfeiting feature. However, most of the existing schemes require secret parameters to be stored in tags, which are vulnerable to physical attacks that can further lead to the breach of forward secrecy. Furthermore, as far as we know, none of the existing schemes are able to solve the security and privacy problems with good scalability. Since many existing schemes rely on exhaustive searches of the backend server to validate a tag and they are not scalable for applications with a large scale database. Hence, in this paper, we propose a lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol with physically unclonable functions (PUFs). The performance analysis shows that our proposed scheme can ensure security and privacy efficiently in a scalable way.

With the gradual application of RFID technology, the problems of privacy security arouse people's great attention. To address the problems of the existing RFID authentication protocol, such as the weakness on security and privacy, the high cost and the un-stabilizing systems performance, this paper puts forward a kind effective protection of privacy and low cost RFID security authentication protocol, analyses the security and performance of this protocol. This protocol can not only effectively solve the problems of replay attacks, location privacy attack and data synchronization, but also greatly use the Reader computing resources to reduce the cost of system construction, so it is appropriate for the application of RFID system.


The RFID (radio frequency identification) technology is being extensively accepted and used as a governing recognizing technology in medical management domain like information corroboration, patient records, blood transmission, etc. With more rigid security concern to RFID based authentication protocols, ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) established Radio Frequency Identification verification protocols is being expected to fit the prerequisite of security and privacy. However, abounding new published ECC based RFID protocols have severe security vulnerability. In the following paper, we have reviewed few RFID verification and authentication protocols and has compared its strengths, fragility and proposed less complex and more efficient authentication protocol.

In the traditional RFID system, the secure wired channel communication is used between the reader and the server, and the new mobile RFID system is different from the traditional RFID system. The reader and the server communicate based on the wireless channel. This makes authentication protocols applicable to traditional RFID systems not applicable to mobile RFID systems. To solve this defect, a two-way authentication protocol MSB is proposed for ultra-lightweight mobile radio frequency identification system based on bit replacement operation. MSB (most significant bit) encrypts information based on bitwise operations, and the amount of computation of the communication entity is reduced. Tags, readers, and servers first authenticate and then communicate. MSB can be resistant to common attacks. The security analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has high security attributes, and the performance analysis of the protocol shows that the protocol has the characteristics of low calculation volume. The formal analysis of the protocol is given based on GNY logic.

Weak security of RFID system is concerned by more and more people because of the fast development of internet of things. Some existing RFID authentications protocols begin to be analyzed, such as Mutual three-pass authentication, randomized Hash-Lock, which has some problem of being difficult to resist a variety of network attacks such as forgery tag attacks and a new bidirectional security authentication protocol,A multiple security authentication protocol is proposed to overcome the disadvantage of being vulnerable to cyber attacks. Analysis shows that this approach is of good security and privacy, low cost, and high efficiency.
