Abstract
The design of secure authentication protocols for RFID system is still a great challenging problem. Many authentication protocols for RFID have been presented, but most have security flaws. We analyzes the security of scheme proposed by Deng et al., and point out that this scheme can’t resist location tracking attack, and the low efficiency of the reader searches a target tag. Based on this, an improved protocol to overcome the security vulnerability of Deng’s protocol is presented. The formal proof of correctness of the improved protocol is given based on GNY logic which is one of the model logics, and finally experiments shows the improved protocol has the good efficiency of time complexity.
