A Lightweight Serverless RFID Tag Search Protocol

Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been applied to a variety of domains. RFID tag search problem becomes significant when the total number of tags is very large and only the data of a particular tag or a small group of tags are required. This paper proposes a lightweight serverless RFID tag search protocol in conformity with EPC C1G2 standards. The computation operations in the protocol are only PRNG and XOR. The security analysis shows that the protocol achieves authentication, data confidentiality, untraceability and data integrity.
