Abstract
In this whitepaper, we present a synchronization-based communication protocol for EPCglobal Class-1 Gen-2 RFID devices. The Class-1 Gen-2 RFID tag supports only simple cryptographic primitives like Pseudo-random Number Generator (PRNG) and Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC). Our protocol is secure in a sense that it prevents the cloned tags and malicious readers from impersonating and abusing legitimate tags, respectively. In addition, our protocol provides that each RFID tag emits a different bit string (pseudonym) or meta-ID when receiving each and every reader’s query. Therefore, it makes tracking activities and personal preferences of tag’s owner impractical to provide the user’s privacy.
