Abstract EN
Card-based physical access control systems are used by most people on a daily basis, for example, at work, in public transportation, or at hotels.
Yet these systems have often very poor cryptographic protection.
User identifiers and keys can be easily eavesdropped on and counterfeited.
The privacy-preserving features are almost missing in these systems.
To improve this state, we propose a novel cryptographic scheme based on efficient zero-knowledge proofs and Boneh-Boyen signatures.
The proposed scheme is provably secure and provides the full set of privacy-enhancing features, that is, the anonymity, untraceability, and unlinkability of users.
Furthermore, our scheme supports distributed multidevice authentication with multiple RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) user devices.
This feature is particularly important in applications for controlling access to dangerous sites where the presence of protective equipment is checked during each access control session.
Besides the full cryptographic specification, we also show the results of our implementation on devices commonly used in access control applications, particularly the smart cards and embedded verification terminals.
By avoiding costly operations on user devices, such as bilinear pairings, we were able to achieve times comparable to existing systems (around 500 ms), while providing significantly higher security, privacy protection, and features for RFID multidevice authentication.
