XTEA encryption based novel RFID security protocol

RFID technology has been widely used in logistic and authentication applications, but it still has many potential issues such as the risks of privacy and security. This paper presents a novel RFID security protocol based on the XTEA encryption. Analysis of the security and privacy of this novel protocol is performed using SystemC based modeling. Different attack models are implemented, and the results indicate that the protocol is robust and safe against major known attacks.
