Recently, Selim et al proposed public key cryptography based privacy preserving multi-context RFID authentication protocol. However Selim et al's proposed protocol not only doesn't fit into passive tag based RFID system because it uses public key based encryption algorithm to perform authentication between reader and tag, but also is insecure to an impersonation attack because it doesn't provide mutual authentication. In order to eliminate the above described efficiency problem and security vulnerabilities, this paper proposes a new multi-context RFID mutual authentication protocol that can prevent privacy invasion and tag impersonation attack through providing mutual authentication between single passive tag which is located different application space and readers which provide multi-context purposes and can secure against relay attack and denial-of-service attack. As a result, the proposed protocol performs secure mutual authentication based on the collected space and time information from the RFID reader and provides strong security and high computation efficiency because if performs secure one-way hash function and symmetric encryption operations suitable to the environments of passive RFID tags.

RFID technology is evaluated as one of core technologies for ubiquitous environment, because of its various characteristics which barcode systems don't have. However, RFID systems have consumer's privacy infringement problems, such like information leakage and location tracing. We need RFID privacy protection protocols, that satisfy three essential security requirements; confidentiality, indistinguishability and forward security, in order to protect consumer's privacy perfectly. The most secure protocol, that satisfies all of the three essential security requirements, among existing protocols, is the hash-chain based protocol that Ohkubo proposed. Unfortunately this protocol has a big disadvantage that it takes very long time to identify a tag in the back-end server. In this paper, we propose a scheme to keep security just as it is and to reduce computation time for identifying a tag in back-end server. The proposed scheme shows the results that the identification time in back-end server is reduced considerably compared to the original scheme of Ohkubo protocol.

Recently many researchers have been proved that general RFID system for proximity authentication is vulnerable to various location-based relay attacks such as distance fraud, mafia fraud and terrorist fraud attacks. The distance-bounding protocol is used to prevent the relay attacks by measuring the round trip time of single challenge-response bit. In 2008, Munilla and Peinado proposed an improved distance-bounding protocol applying void-challenge technique based on Hancke-Kuhn's protocol. Compare with Hancke-Kuhn's protocol, Munilla and Peinado's protocol is more secure because the success probability of an adversary has (5/8)n. However, Munilla and Peinado's protocol is inefficient for low-cost passive RFID tags because it requires large storage space and many hash function computations. Thus, this paper proposes a new RFID distance-bounding protocol for low-cost passive RFID tags that can be reduced the storage space and hash function computations. As a result, the proposed distance-bounding protocol not only can provide both storage space efficiency and computational efficiency, but also can provide strong security against the relay attacks because the adversary's success probability can be reduced by $(5/8)^n$.

This paper proposes a hardware structure and associated finite state machine designs sharing key scheduling circuitry to enhance the performance of the block cypher algorithm, HIGHT. It also introduces an efficient protocol applicable to RFID systems comprising the HIGHT block cipher algorithm. The new HIGHT structure occupies an area size small enough to accommodate tag applications. The structure yields twice higher performance them conventional HIGHT algorithms. The proposed protocol overcomes the security vulnerability of RFID tags and thereby strengthens the security of personal information.

Tags and Readers is receiving and sending the data using the wireless communication in the RFID environment. Therefore, it could allow an attacker to participate in the network without the physical constraints, which can be easily exposed to a variety of attacks, such as taps and data forgery. Also, it is not easy to apply the security techniques to defend external attacks because the resource constraints of RFID tags is high. In this paper, new tag-reader mutual authentication protocol is proposed to protect the external cyber attacks such as spoofing attacks, replay attacks, traffic analysis attacks, location tracking attacks. The performance evaluation of the proposed mutual authentication protocol is performed and the simulation results are presented.

A great number of RFID authentication protocols have been proposed for the secure RFID system. These are typically divided into three types according to primitive that they use : Hash-based, Re-encryption based, and XORing-based protocol. The well-known attacks in RFID system are eavesdropping. impersonating, location tracking, and so on. However, existing protocols could not provide security against above attacks, or it was not efficient to search for tags on database. Therefore, in this paper we present a protocol which is secure against above attacks by using hash function and makes Database search tags easily by attaining the state information of previous session through the shared values with all tags and database.

In this paper, we propose a general idea about an RFID system which provides lighted weight algorithm. We discuss how RFID could be applied for this kind of system, especially, compact protocol. We evaluate a few protocols that have been suggested for use in passive RFID tagged systems. We can reduce security computation without losing security features by message integration and pre-computation in this paper. And the proposed protocol can be used in low-cost RFID systems that require a small computational load for both the back-end database and the tags.

RFID system, which tries to identify a information of the tag using the wireless transmission, has been used to recognize long distance. However, each RFID system uses different way for individual needs. So, it is might not be compatible with the each system using a little different way. Also there is a trouble to freely use the protocols between the one tag and the other reader. So we tested a various RFID tags and readers to use the designed system with several protocols. Therefore, this paper shows that we designed and realized of the testing system for RF characteristics test as well as protocol analysis.
