An Intelligent RFID-Enabled Authentication Protocol in VANET
Fateme Shabani, Hossein Gharaee, Fariba Ghaffari · 2018
Privacy is the key challenge in VANET which means that vehicles should be anonymous and untraceable to everyone except trusted entities. There are many solutions to provide security and privacy. One of these methods is RFID authentication protocols by which the tag and servers confirm the validity of the other party before sending data. One of the attacks that violates user privacy is the tracking attack. This attack can be done against authentication protocols. Kumar et al. developed an intelligent RFID-enabled authentication protocol in 2016. In this paper, at first we will show that the designed protocol is vulnerable to tracking attack and cannot meet the security features of untraceability and forward security. After this, the improved version of this protocol will be presented and we will show that the improved protocol has been able to meet the security features - untraceability and forward security- with the same computing.
