Abstract

RFID-based authentication protocols have started increasingly being used in various fields, such as tracking assets, managing stock, controlling quality processes, and automotive and healthcare services. In addition to authentication (unilateral or mutual), it is necessary that these protocols also ensure a certain level of privacy. Very often, privacy properties are studied ad hoc or informally. In this paper, we highlight two scenarios that, once identified in such protocols, show us that they cannot satisfy a certain level of privacy in the Hermans-Pashalidis-Vercauteren-Preneel (HPVP) privacy model. For each scenario, general results are presented and exemplified by existing protocols. We then analyze a recent authentication protocol based on simulatable PUFs and prove that a simplified variant of it achieves strong privacy in the HPVP model.
