| Abstract | ||||
| Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has received recently a great attention from large organizations and researchers due to the dropping tag costs and vigorous RFID standardization. They are becoming more common in daily use to identify, locate and track people, assets, and animals. Number of protocols has been proposed in the literature for the security of RFID against passive attacks. One of the well-known protocols is the HB family protocol which utilizes the complexity of decoding linear codes for RFID security against passive attacks. The nonlinear HB (NLHB) is one member of the HB family protocol which achieves high security by reducing the provably hard problem of decoding a class of nonlinear codes to passive attacks. This paper introduces Multi-Nonlinear Stages to the HB protocol to enhance its security against passive attacks. More specifically, the paper presents two Multi-Nonlinear versions of the HB protocol; Double-Nonlinear HB (DNLHB), and Triple-Nonlinear HB (TNLHB). The proposed protocols increase significantly the security of RFID systems against passive attacks at a lower implementation cost. | ||||
