An Improvement of A Lightweight NFC Authentication Algorithm Based on Modified Hash Function.

In NFC applications, user privacy information must be protected first. Cao and Liu recently proposed a lightweight NFC authentication scheme based on an improved hash function to ensure that the user’s private information will not be leaked. Although their method is highly efficient and has Mutual Authentication, Forward Security, Backward Security, and security against attacks such as Replay, Location, and Fake, once out of synchronization occurs, the method must reestablish synchronization data. Therefore, this article will propose a lightweight synchronization method.
