Mutual Authentication Protocol for RFID Privacy Protection

As a contactless auto-identification technology,RFID provides cost saving and efficiency enhancement.But it also causes security and privacy vulnerabilities for RFID applications.In order to ensure security and privacy,authentication and protection for communication between reader and tag must be provided.After analyzing existing security and privacy solutions for RFID and by adopting zero-knowledge ideas,a mutual RFID authentication protocol based on oneway Hash function is proposed,its security and anti-attack properties are also analyzed.
