Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention concerns the contact-less technology MIFARE, and describes a method to update a state by injecting an IV using a non-linear feedback shift register that makes use of only look-up tables and basic operations on 8-bit words.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method to perform a “reader challenge setup step in an authentication phase”, according to MIFARE contact-less technology authentication and encryption protocol, in a “tag device”, wherein, a size of an internal state of a cipher, called “ST” is 6 bytes, at time t, the internal state of the cipher is represented by ST t =(ST t [0], . . . , ST t [5]), a reader challenge, called “RC “, of length 4 bytes, is denoted by: RC=(RC[0], RC[3]) a linear functi…
