Overview Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is an automatic identification system, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data about objects one wants to manage using devices called "RFID tag". Even though RFID system is widely useful for industrial and individual applications, RFID tag has a serious privacy problem, i.e., traceability. To protect users from tracing, the paper proposes an RFID mutual authentication scheme which utilizes a hash function and synchronized secret information like others. To the best of the knowledge, the scheme offers the most enhanced security feature in RFID mutual authentication scheme with respect to user privacy including resistance against tag cloning allowing an additional hash operation.
