| Description | Thanks to the huge progress in miniaturization, communication technologies, and mobile computing, smart homes are becoming increasingly popular. In order to manage the related facilities and provide the expected services, dedicated systems are commonly using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices. However, these devices are still prone to security breaches and consequently pose threats to privacy. Effective solutions are, therefore, urgently needed to address these deficiencies. Within this context, we are proposing in this paper a security authentication scheme based on trust evaluation to detect counterfeit tags and prevent attacks like jamming and cloning. Our scheme, called Trust-Based Authentication (TBA), is particularly using trusts derived from historical transactions between RFID readers and RFID tags as well as trusts obtained from other readers as recommendations. Our simulation results show promising results in terms of replica detection and failure rates. |
