Abstract

Ownership transfer and grouping proof protocols are the two most important requirements for RFID tag in various applications such as pharmaceutical distribution and manufacturing. In 2010, Zuo integrated these two requirements and introduced a protocol for RFID tag group ownership transfer (GOT), i.e., transferring the ownership of a group of tags in one session. However, this paper shows that Zuo’s protocol is vulnerable to de-synchronization attack and tag impersonating in the presence of cheating old owner. This paper also proposes solutions to fix the security flaws of Zuo’s GOT protocol.
