Improving Security of RFID Authentication Protocol Based on Fast Fourier Transform and Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Abstract

RFID based applications used for many purposes like tagging and tracking for tag and reader in IoT deployment. This is because of its powerful features compared with similar techniques such as barcodes. In contrast, various attacks and security threats cause to RFID system. The aim of this paper is to use a heterogeneous ensemble of Fast Fourier Transform algorithm and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence operations. This is different from existing ECC work in the sense that we are proposing to combine state-of-the-art encryption methods by ensemble techniques instead of focusing on single technique. Our proposed protocol is highly secure and its strength is based on FFT and DNA encoding rules. When compared with ECC technique we validate and demonstrate our approach experimentally and it leads to significant performance gains.
