Abstract—Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a
booming technology which identifies objects automatically. As
the low-cost passive tag in RFID system lacks computational,
storage, power, and communication resources, lightweight
authentication protocols are necessary for security and privacy
issues. The HB-family has been developed since Hopper and
Blum proposed the HB protocol in 2001, which is a lightweight
authentication protocol for RFID system. Afterwards, many
improvements have been developed based on the HB protocol,
such as HB+ in 2005, HB-MP in 2007 and HB-MP+ in 2008. In
this paper, we propose an improved protocol which is a secure
and lightweight. We give the security and performance analysis
to prove its advantages over past HB-family protocols and its
practicality in reality.
Index Terms—RFID, authentication, lightweight protocol,
HB-family.
