Abstract
A method fir mutual authentication in an RFID system comprising an RFID reader and an RFID tag, the method comprising requesting an identification from the tag, receiving the identification, using the received identification to select a password associated with the identification, generating a password key based on the selected password, encrypting the selected password using the password key, and transmitting the encrypted password to the tag.
Claims1
A method for mutual authentication in a radio frequency identification (RFID) system comprising an RFID reader and an RFID tag, the method comprising:
- requesting an identifier from the RFID tag;
- receiving the identifier;
- selecting a password based at least in part on the identifier;
- selecting a first of a plurality of indexed mathematical kernels, wherein the first mathematical kernel comprises a first parameter set;
- using the first mathematical kernel to generate a first password key encrypting the password using the first password key;
- and
- transmitting the password encrypted using the first password key to the RFID tag.
