Security of ultra-lightweight RFID authentication protocols and its improvements

Published: 01 July 2007 Publication History

Abstract

The design of ultra-lightweight authentication protocols is imperative to the pervasive deployment of low-cost RFIDs. This paper examines the security of two well known ultra-lightweight authentication protocols (LMAP and M2AP) and the improved scheme. We demonstrate our efficient attacks on the protocols, and highlight the key weaknesses of the designs.
