The raise of smart RFID technology (i.e. sensor integration to RFID system) has introduced various advantages in the context of location awareness applications, reaching from low cost implementation and maintenance, to its flexibility to support large-scale system. Nevertheless, the use of such technology introduces tremendous security and privacy issues (e.g. unauthorized tracking, information leakage, cloning attack, data manipulation, collision attack, replay attack, Denial-of-Service, etc.). On the other hand, the constrained nature of RFID application makes the security enforcement is more complicated. This paper presents IMAKA-Tate: Identity protection, Mutual Authentication and Key Agreement using Tate pairing of Identity-based Encryption method. It is designed to tackle various challenges in the constrained nature of RFID applications by applying a light-weight cryptographic method with advanced-level 128 bit security protection. Indeed, our proposed solution protects the RFID system from various threats, as well as preserves the privacy by early performing encryption including the identity even before the authentication is started. |
