Enhancing RFID tag resistance against cloning attack

In its current form, RFID system are susceptible to a range of malevolent attacks. With the rich business intelligence that RFID infrastructure could possibly carry, security is of paramount importance. In this paper, we formalise various threat models due tag cloning on the RFID system. We also present a simple but efficient and cost effect technique that strengthens the resistance of RFID tags to cloning attacks. Our techniques can even strengthen tags against cloning in environments with untrusted reading devices.
