Security analysis of RFID authentication for pervasive systems using model checking

Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems will soon become an. important pail of everyday life. However, widespread deployment of RFID tags may create new threats to user privacy, due to the powerful tracking capability of the tags. Security mechanisms for RFID systems will be therefore of utmost important. In this paper, we describe problems of previous works on RFID security protocol and specify several known attacks with Casper CSP and then verify their security properties such as secrecy and authentication using FDR model checking tool. Finally, we propose an RFID security protocol based on strong authenticaion that guarantees data privacy and authentication between a tag and a reader.
