Mutual Authentication and Ownership Transfer Scheme Conforming to EPC-C1G2 Standard

In a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)-enabled system, RFID tags often need to change hands from one owner to another during their lifetime, which makes the design of excellent RFID tag ownership transfer schemes more urgent than ever before. In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual authentication and ownership transfer scheme, which conforms to the standard EPC Class-1 Generation-2 (EPC-C1G2). This scheme can resist tracking, counterfeiting, and denial of service attacks and achieve the privacy protection of both the new user and the old user. At the same time, this scheme has a certain ability to detect tags which need to transfer their ownership and achieves complete ownership transfer. Compared with the existing similar schemes, this scheme is more secure and efficient.
