Abstract

As information technology continuously progresses, more applied technologies are developed, such as radio frequency identification (RFID). In this paper, we propose a novel digital television (DTV) structure that uses RFID for encryption. RFID is widely used for various applications because of its advantages such as an extended lifetime and security, and it is less affected by environmental constraints. The proposed protocol uses RFID for encryption to withstand many attacks that the traditional system is vulnerable to, such as impersonation attack, replay attack and smart card cloning. Compared with other protocols, the proposed protocol is more secure and efficient. Thus, our proposed protocol makes the DTV framework more complete and secure.
