The convenience resulting from its contactless and low-cost makes it possible to be widely adopted in many areas. However, due to the lack of data privacy and protection mechanism in RFID technology makes the widespread adoption and deployment of RFID technology pose several privacy-related concerns for consumers. In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication protocol for the low-cost RFID systems. We also formally prove the correctness and completeness of the proposed protocol by using GNY logics. In addition, we identify several attacks that can be applied to RFID systems and we demonstrate the security of the proposed protocol. Furthermore, we show compare the performances, including storage cost, computational cost and communication cost, with other existing protocols.
