Analysis and Improvement of the Lightweight Mutual Authentication Protocol under EPC C-1 G-2 Standard

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology is a promising technology. It uses radio waves to identify objects. Through automatic and real-time data acquisition, this technology can give a great benefit to various industries by improving the efficiency of their operations. However, this ubiquitous technology has inherited problems in security and privacy. EPC class 1 generation 2 has served as the most popular standard for passive RFID tags. To improve the security of this standard, several protocols have been proposed compliant to this standard.
