Preserving Privacy of Mobile Reader Holders in Server-less RFID Authentication and Searching Protocols
This work addresses privacy concerns for mobile RFID reader users in IoT applications, but it is incremental as it builds upon existing protocols.
The paper tackles the problem of preserving mobile reader holder privacy in server-less RFID authentication and searching protocols, which is often overlooked, by proposing a scheme that enhances existing protocols and demonstrating its security and effectiveness through comparisons with two classical protocols.
Along with the development of internet of things and pervasive computing, researchers are increasingly focusing on server-less RFID authentication and searching protocols, which utilize mobile RFID readers. However, revealing privacy of mobile reader holders is a widely neglected problem in current research. This paper concentrates on preserving privacy of mobile reader holders in server-less RFID authentication and searching protocols. We propose a detailed requirement as a principle for future protocol designs, and a scheme to enhance most current protocols. We apply our scheme to two classical protocols. The comparisons between the original and our enhanced protocols show that our scheme is secure and effective.
