Hybrid encryption protocol for RFID Data Security

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an evolving technology. It brings benefits through high productivity and efficiency in applications where artifacts have to be automatically identified. Point of Sale system, library system, and the number of applications available with this RFID technology. As security and privacy challenges are increasing day by day, RFID technology should be improved with its strategies and tactics. Asymmetric key cryptography and symmetric key cryptography separately provided good solutions to such security challenges. The propose hybrid encryption method that is used for encryption and decryption of the RFID data. The hybrid encryption protocol performs both asymmetric and symmetric ciphers. And the proposed an advanced encryption standard (AES) for symmetric cipher as it is proved to be highly secured, fast, and well-standardized, and well supported. The proposed conjoin elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) as asymmetric cipher because it is the latest and best cipher algorithm that uses smaller keys and signatures. It provides a rapid key generation, rapid key agreement, and rapid signatures. This combination will be the best for RFID technology than receiving results from both separately. For security analysis of the hybrid protocol, Automation Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) tool is used. The goal is to propose, hybrid encryption protocol using the AES and ECC algorithms to enhance the RFID data security with the most effective and efficient methods.
