Abstract: 
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a wireless identification method that utilizes the reception of electromagnetic or electrostatic radio waves. As the applications of such RFID networks continue to expand, the need for security and privacy also become more and more prominent. A large number of RFID authentication protocols have also been proposed, most either aim to provide strong security properties or better efficiency, however, stronger security properties often comes in the cost of efficiency and vice versa. A number of security models have been proposed, however, most are limited in capturing the distinctions between the types of RFID protocols. The main aim of this research is to design a provably secure RFID authentication protocol that are also efficient for large networks.
