Abstract
Designing a reliable secure low-cost protocol for radio-frequency identification
(RFID) is difficult, standard cryptographic primitives can become a limitation for
low-cost tags due to their costly large requirements in terms of circuit size, power
consumption, and memory size. Therefore, ultralightweight cryptography in
designing low-cost RFID protocols capable of executing data communication
sessions efficiently and effectively are needed to solve database loading, passive
attacks, desynchronization and high computational cost problems. This thesis
presents a model (SRV) for designing efficient low-cost security protocols, and
proposes two low-cost RFID secure protocols (SURV and SLRV) based on
ultralightweight and lightweight mutual authentication using a combination of
conventional and unconventional security primitives.
Comprehensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations were performed on the
designed protocols. Both protocols have been analyzed qualitatively for its ability to
provide data confidentiality, tag anonymity, mutual authentication and data integrity,
capability to handle forward security and replay attacks, desynchronization, and
man-in- the-middle and disclosure attacks. Both protocols achieved significant
positive security performance in all aspects compared to all protocols in the studied
literature. Similarly, both protocols have been evaluated quantitatively using Diehard
and ENT tools for passive attacks, which proofed high security through highly
randomized messages, and against database loading using three different search
algorithms on three datasets with different sizes alternatively. Furthermore, proposed
implementations have been put forward to illustrate the cost efficiency for the
proposed protocols. The evaluation also included security verification using the
AVISPA tools. However, the results on the capability of AVISPA to verify RFID
protocols in general and our protocols in particular, came out negative.
