| Abstract | In Crypto'05, Juels and Weis proposed an efficient and provably secure authentication protocol for RFID devices, namely HB + . The protocol is adapted from a human authentication protocol called HB which was proposed earlier by Hopper and Blum. Although HB + is more secure than HB in order to be secure in a RFID environment, HB + still suffers from an inherent weakness of HB. That is HB+ is not shown to be provably secure against a stronger yet practical type of attack, e.g., man-in-the-middle attack. This problem was quickly demonstrated by Gilbert et al. They presented a man-in-the-middle-attack with linear complexity which can discover a secret information shared by a RFID tag and a RFID reader. Till then, an efficient variant of HB + which is secure against active adversaries remains an open question. In this paper, our goal is to solve this open question. We propose an augmented version of HB + and show that the new protocol is secure against man-in-the- middle attacks. Comparing to HB + , our improved protocol requires only one more secret and minimal additional computation at tag and reader's side. Therefore, HB ∗ is still usable for RFID devices. |
