Recently, RFID system is a main technology to realize ubiquitous computing environments, but the feature of the RFID system
may bring about various privacy problems. So, many kinds of protocols to resolve these problems have been researched. In this
paper, we analyze the privacy problems of the previous protocols and propose more secure and effective authentication protocol
to protect user’s privacy. Then we analyze the security and effectiveness of the proposed protocol comparing with the previous
protocols. The proposed protocol is based on Challenge-Response using one-way hash function and random number. The proposed
protocol is secure against the replay the attack, spoofing attack and so on. In addition, the proposed protocol is fitted
for distributed database environment.
