Passive Secret Disclosure Attack on an Ultralightweight Authentication Protocol for Internet of Things

Masoumeh Safkhani and Nasour Bagheri

Abstract

Recently, Tewari and Gupta have proposed an ultralightweight RFID authentication protocol. In this paper, we consider the security of the proposed protocol and present a passive secret disclosure attack against it. The success probability of the attack is `1' while the complexity of the attack is only eavesdropping one session of the protocol. The presented attack has negligible complexity. We simulated our attack and verified its correctness.
