Evaluation of RAIN RFID authentication schemes

In this paper, we present different authentication schemes of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Generation 2 version 2 (Gen2V2) in UHF mode. We model the anti-collision management and evaluate it by simulation with OMNeT++. We evaluate the overall performance of RFID Gen2v2 network in terms of measurement of collisions and association time. We present four main cryptographic suites of the Gen2V2 standard, namely XOR, AES128, PRESENT80 and CryptoGPS. After their modelling and simulation, the obtained results allow us to put forward the necessary time for each authentication algorithms. The objective of this work is to show the impact of the cryptographic suites used to ensure the authentication of connected objects in the Internet of Things.
