Strong Privacy for RFID Systems from Plaintext-Aware Encryption

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

he Vaudenay model for RFID privacy from Asiacrypt 2007 suffers from the impossibility to address strong privacy. It has however been shown by Ng et al. at ESORICS 2008 that the impossibility result leads to no practical threat, so that the definition from ...

ARMADILLO: A Multi-purpose Cryptographic Primitive Dedicated to Hardware

Serge Vaudenay, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Khaled Ouafi, Jorge Nakahara, Petr Susil, Nilay Dagtekin

This paper describes and analyzes the security of a general-purpose cryptographic function design, with application in RFID tags and sensor networks. Based on these analyzes, we suggest minimum parameter values for the main components of this cryptographic ...

Traceable Privacy of Recent Provably-Secure RFID Protocols

Khaled Ouafi

One of the main challenges in RFIDs is the design of privacy-preserving authentication protocols. Indeed, such protocols should not only allow legitimate readers to authenticate tags but also protect these latter from privacy-violating attacks, ensuring th ...

Privacy of Recent RFID Authentication Protocols

Khaled Ouafi

Privacy is a major concern in RFID systems, especially with widespread deployment of wireless-enabled interconnected personal devices e.g. PDAs and mobile phones, credit cards, e-passports, even clothing and tires. An RFID authentication protocol should no ...

Pathchecker: An RFID application for tracing products in Supply-chains

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

In this paper, we present an application of RFIDs for supply-chain management. In our application, we consider two types of readers. On one part, we have readers that will mark tags at given points. After that, these tags can be checked by another type of ...

Forgery-Resilience for Digital Signature Schemes

Khaled Ouafi, Atefeh Mashatan

We introduce the notion of forgery-resilience for digital signature schemes, a new paradigm for digital signature schemes exhibiting desirable legislative properties. It evolves around the idea that, for any message, there can only be a unique valid signat ...

On the Security of HB# against a Man-in-the-Middle Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

At EuroCrypt ’08, Gilbert, Robshaw and Seurin proposed HB# to improve on HB+ in terms of transmission cost and security against man-in-the-middle attacks. Although the security of HB# is formally proven against a certain class of man- in-the-middle adversa ...

Smashing SQUASH-0

Serge Vaudenay, Khaled Ouafi

At the RFID Security Workshop 2007, Adi Shamir presented a new challenge-response protocol well suited for RFIDs, although based on the Rabin public-key cryptosystem. This protocol, which we call SQUASH-0, was using a linear mixing function which was subse ...

Efficient Fail-Stop Signatures from the Factoring Assumption

Khaled Ouafi, Atefeh Mashatan

In this paper, we revisit the construction of fail-stop signatures from the factoring assumption. These signatures were originally proposed to provide information-theoretic-based security against forgeries. In contrast to classical signature schemes, in wh ...

Privacy Analysis of Forward and Backward Untraceable RFID Authentication Schemes

Khaled Ouafi

In this paper, we analyze the first known provably secure Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) authentication schemes that are designed to provide forward untraceability and backward untraceability: the L-K and S-M schemes. We show how to trace tags in th ...
