The Lightweight Ownership Transfer Protocol using Physically Unclonable Function

RFID technology has increasingly used in the various fields of our lives, and in the entire life cycle of the tag, there may be several ownership changes. Therefore, it is very important to protect the security and privacy of customer's information during transferring. Combining with the physical characteristics of the anti-clone tag and the low-cost requirement, we proposed a lightweight ownership transfer protocol using Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) to achieve a safe ownership transfer. Through using formal analysis, it shows that this protocol can also resist reply attack, desynchronization attack, tampering attack, to protect the old and the new owner's private information.
