We present an authentication protocol suited for RFID systems. Our solution is the first that prevents relay attacks without degrading the authentication security level: it minimizes the probability that the verifier accepts a fake proof of identity, whether or not a relay attack occurs.10 pagesCryptography and SecurityInformation TheoryAn Asymptotically Optimal RFID Authentication Protocol Against Relay Attackstext
