  • Abstract
    We introduce server impersonation attacks, a practical security threat to RFID security protocols that has not previously been described. RFID tag memory is generally not tamper-proof for cost reasons. We show that, if a tag is compromised, such attacks can give rise to desynchronisation between server and tag in a number of existing RFID authentication protocols. We also describe possible countermeasures to this novel class of attacks.
