An Authentication Protocol Based on Combined RFID-Biometric System RFID-Biometric System
This work addresses security challenges in access control systems for applications using RFID and biometric technologies, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing methods without claiming major breakthroughs.
The authors tackled the problem of designing a secure authentication protocol for resource-constrained RFID systems by integrating biometric data, resulting in a protocol that ensures secrecy, authentication, and privacy using cryptographic functions and security verification tools.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and biometric technologies saw fast evolutions during the last years and which are used in several applications, such as access control. Among important characteristics in the RFID tags, we mention the limitation of resources (memory, energy, ...). Our work focuses on the design of a RFID authentication protocol which uses biometric data and which confirms the secrecy, the authentication and the privacy. Our protocol requires a PRNG (Pseud-Random Number Generator), a robust hash function and Biometric hash function. The Biometric hash function is used to optimize and to protect biometric data. For Security analysis of protocol proposed, we will use AVISPA and SPAN tools to verify the authentication and the secrecy.
