Abstract

Recently, ubiquitous computing in being actively researched and one of the main technology in ubiquitous computing environments is recognized as RFID system. The RFID system has much benefits but simultaneously has some problems such as user's privacy violation. In this paper, in order to improve the survivability of its nodes, it should build available simulation surrounding sensor nodes. Also, In the proposed cryptosystems we use a new hash function for user authentication and a stream cipher based on LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register) for message encryption and decryption. Moreover, each algorithm is programmed with C language and simulated on IBM-PC system and we analyze the randomness properties of the proposed algorithms by using statistical tests.
