Emerging Role of Distance Bounding Protocol with Rfid Technology in Aerospace System

Kavitha C, Balakrishnan C, Sindhuja N. R

Abstract :

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems are vulnerable to replay attacks like mafia fraud, distance fraud

and terrorist fraud. The distance bounding protocol is designed as a countermeasure against these attacks. These

protocols ensure that the tags are in a distant area by measuring the round-trip delays during the rapid challenge response exchange. Distance Bounding protocols are cryptographic protocols which enable verifier to establish the upper bound on the physical distance to the

prover. They are based on timing the delay between the sending out a challenge bit and receiving back the corresponding response bits. A timing based response followed by consecutive timing measurement provides more optimistic approach in authenticating the prover.
