The Study of ECC-Based RFID Grouping Proof for the Application in Portable Secure Communication Devices

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is a wireless non-contact system that uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data from a tag which attached on an object to a reader, for the purposes of automatic identification and tracking of the object. Conventionally, RFID tag identification is applied in single tag only. As RFID getting more popular, it gradually involves in the application of RFID to provide a proof that two or more tags have scanned simultaneously (grouping proof) [2]. Based on the symmetric key cryptography, the RFID system can’t resist RFID tag cloning attack. On the other hand, the key management issues also give a restriction of available RFID tags in a small amount. In 2007, Vaudenay[3] advocated protecting the privacy of RFID tag based on public key cryptography. Therefore, in 2010, Batina et al. [4] proposed an ECC-based grouping proof protocol for the constrained RFID device in the requirement of similar security, but shorter key length. To prevent the risk of wrong medicine delivery or the configuration component miss-installation on an aircraft, this project’s object is to develop a secure protocol that using grouping proof scheme to make sure the right medicine delivery to right inpatient or right component install into the right aircraft based on the right configuration. At the same time, the protocol will include the mobile RFID patrolling scheme[9] and proxy signature scheme to make sure the mission to be executed completely. And the signature will be sent to the cloud database of the trust center when a mission has been finished.
