Implementation of Partial RNS-Assisted Mutual Authentication Protocol for RFID-Enabled IoT Devices

Hardware cryptography is a focused area to implement the recent wireless technologies such as healthcare applications. The rapid advancement of technology has led to various security breaches in the applications, and the combination of RFID and IoT technology provides the solution in recent days. An efficient encoder for mutual authentication protocol suitable for lightweight RFID-enabled IoT applications is developed in this work. Partial Residue Number System (RNS) without reverse converter and Dual Modular Multiplier Function (DMMF) is used to design an encoder that provides more security to the protocol. The encoder architecture is described using Verilog HDL, and its performance is evaluated in ASIC platform. From the qualitative analysis, the proposed Partial RNS-assisted Mutual Authentication Protocol provides appreciable security and performance balance than the state-of-the-art MAP, which can be utilized for RFID-Enabled IoT Devices.
