Metaheuristic Traceability Attack against SLMAP, an RFID Lightweight Authentication Protocol

We present a metaheuristic-based attack against the traceability of an ultra-lightweight authentication protocol for RFID environments called SLMAP, and analyse its implications. The main interest of our approach is that it is a complete black-box technique that doesn't make any assumptions on the components of the underlying protocol and can thus be easily generalised to analyse many other proposals

Metaheuristic traceability attack against SLMAP, an RFID lightweight authentification protocol

Abstract—We present a metaheuristic-based attack against the traceability of an ultra-lightweight authentication protocol for RFID environments called SLMAP, and analyse its implications. The main interest of our approach is that it is a complete black-box technique that doesn’t make any assumptions on the components of the underlying protocol and can thus be easily generalised to analyse many other proposals.
