A Novel RFID Anti-Counterfeiting Based on Bisectional Multivariate Quadratic Equations

摘要

>This article proposes a novel scheme for RFID anti-counterfeiting by applying bisectional multivariate quadratic equations (BMQE) system into an RF tag data encryption. In the key generation process, arbitrarily choose two matrix sets (denoted as A and B) and a base RAB such that [(AB) ⃗ ]=λ〖R_AB〗^T, and generate 2n BMQ polynomials (denoted as ρ) over finite field F_q. Therefore, (F_q, ρ) is taken as a public key and (A,B,λ) as a private key. In the encryption process, the EPC code is hashed into a message digest d_m. Then d_m is padded to d_m^' which is a non-zero 2n×2n matrix over F_q. With (A,B,λ)and d_m^', s_m is formed as an n-vector over F_2. Unlike the existing anti-counterfeit scheme, the one the authors proposed is based on quantum cryptography, thus it is robust enough to resist the existing attacks and has high security.
