Title:
The F_f-Family of Protocols for RFID-Privacy and Authentication

Authors: Erik-Oliver Blass, Anil Kurmus, Refik Molva, Guevara Noubir, Abdullatif Shikfa

Abstract:

In this paper, we present the design of the lightweight F_f family of privacy-preserving authentication protocols for RFID-systems. F_f is based on a new algebraic framework for reasoning about and analyzing this kind of authentication protocols. F_f offers user-adjustable, strong authenticity and privacy against known algebraic and also recent SAT-solving attacks. In contrast to related work, F_f achieves these two security properties without requiring an expensive cryptographic hash function. F_f is designed for a challenge-response protocol, where the tag sends random nonces and the results of HMAC-like computations of one of the nonces together with its secret key. In this paper, the authenticity and privacy of F_f is evaluated using analytical and experimental methods.
