Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a new RFID authentication protocol based on elliptic curves ElGamal encryption schemes. The proposed protocol needs two passes, requires only scalar point multiplications operation and can resist to various kinds of attacks such as man-in-the-middle attack, simple power analysis, and replay attacks.These features make it very attractive to low cost RFID applications, such as the biometric passport active authentication (AA) for example. The proposed protocol is tested and simulated in c ≠ language for several NIST recommended curves over GF(p) (p = 112; 128; 160; 192 and 256 bits).
