| description | The recently ratified Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP)
specifies the interaction between a RFID Reader and
Client. It has been of much interest in the RFID
community but adoption is being stalled by its lack of
formal scrutiny especially with regard to its security. This
paper surveys the work that has been undertaken on this
protocol, assesses its security vulnerabilities and examines
possible security solutions. It then presents the design and
implementation of LLRP endpoints that use Transport
Layer Security (TLS) to setup a secure LLRP connection.
Based on previous performance studies, appropriate
metrics are selected to indicate the performance of the
resulting TLS-LLRP connection. Specifically, the
overhead of securing a LLRP connection using TLS is
quantified and a detailed analysis of the results is
undertaken to determine the TLS cipher suites and
parameters that provide the best compromise between the
level of security and performance. |
