Existing ECC-based RFID authentication protocols exhibit vulnerabilities to various attacks. A new ECC-based authentication protocol is proposed to address these issues, ensuring mutual authentication, confidentiality, and resistance to SCA. The proposed protocol minimizes computational time and enhances privacy features without additional calculations. Security and privacy comparisons with existing schemes show the improved protocol's effectiveness in mitigating threats. The study emphasizes practical implementation and detailed security analysis, highlighting the protocol's efficiency and security enhancements. Further, it discusses emerging security solutions, including encryption algorithms, secure key exchange protocols, and anomaly detection techniques, to mitigate potential risks and enhance the overall security posture of IoT and RFID systems. By understanding and addressing these security concerns, organizations and individuals can fully leverage the transformative power of IoT and RFID technologies while safeguarding sensitive data and ensuring the integrity and reliability of interconnected systems.
