Verayo RFID Authentication

Verayo brings another generation of RFID ICs, based on its Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) technology, to the market under product name Vera M4H. ...

... "The Vera M4H provides an unlimited number of local (offline) authentication events. Verayo´s first unclonable RFID IC, the Vera X512H, provided low-cost authentication, and required a network to access a back-end for authentication with a pre-provisioned number of authentication events. The Vera M4H´s non-networked, unlimited authentication feature extends the reach of Verayo´s PUF-based RFIDs to broader markets while preserving the technology´s significant cost benefits. " ...

Alien Technology RFID Tag Signature Authentication Addresses Cloning

Alien Technology has implemented dynamic authentication as a feature on its Higgs-3 RFID chip, enabling data security to confront cloning. ...

... "Dynamic Authentication further enhances security of the Higgs-3 IC by incorporating a challenge/response algorithm which defeats static cloning attempts of the Higgs-3 IC. This innovative custom feature is a verification process comprising a dynamic interaction between the reader and the tag, and is a function of several parametric tag characteristics whereby the tag’s signature is challenged by the reader for Higgs-3 authenticity and confirmed by the host to provide customers with a cost effective, secure identification measure. " ...
