Abstract

Many algorithms have been introduced to deterministically authenticate Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, while little work has been done to address the scalability issue in batch authentications. Deterministic approaches verify them one by one, and the communication overhead and time cost grow linearly with increasing size of tags. We design a fine-grained batch authentication scheme, INformative Counting (INC), which achieves sublinear authentication time and communication cost in batch verifications. INC also provides authentication results with accurate estimates of the number of counterfeiting tags and genuine tags, while previous batch authentication methods merely provide 0/1 results indicating the existence of counterfeits. We conduct detailed theoretical analysis and extensive experiments to examine this design and the results show that INC significantly outperforms previous work in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.
