3 Evaluation Criterion
We will describe some of the common attack strategies that relate to
unauthorized authentication or stealing private information inside the user smart
tag
- Eavesdropping activities via a rogue reader:
An outside eavesdropper may attempt to figure out the secrecy hidden
in the communication message, then the user privacy is no longer under
protection.
- Impersonation of innocent smart tags:
An adversary may attempt to clone a fake tag with the information
fetched from a physically compromised smart tag or a eavesdropping
to a legitimate smart tag. The attacker may conduct misbehaving
activities in the wrong name of innocent victim.
- Reply Attack:
An adversary that monitors on a legitimate communication channel
and replay its message at some later time engages in a reply attack.
Since the replayed message originated from the authorized node, the
same receiver will accept it again. In that situation, the attacker could
pass the security without knowing the innocent’s secret.
