RFID is a new technology that will become ubiquitous as RFID tags will be applied to every-day items in order to yield great productivity gains or “smart” applications for users. On the other hand, this pervasive use of RFID tags opens up the possibility for various attacks violating user privacy. Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems aim to identify tags to readers in an open environment where neither visual nor physical contact is needed for communication. With the increased popularity of RFID applications, various authentication protocols have been proposed to provide security and privacy for RFID tags. In this paper we present a comprehensive survey of various authentication protocols in three perspectives, namely data protection, tracking protection, and forward security.
