In order to address the anonymous batch authentication problem of a legal reader to many tags in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system, an efficient RFID anonymous batch authentication protocol was proposed based on group signature. The anonymous batch authentications of reader to many tags are achieved by using a one-time group signature based on Hash function; the authentication of the tag to the reader is realized by employing MAC (Message Authentication Code). The tag's anonymity is achieved via the dynamic TID (Temporary Identity) instead of the tag's identity. The proposed protocol can resist replay attacks by using random number. Theoretical analyses show that, the proposed protocol reaches the expected security goals. Compared with the protocol proposed by Liu, the proposed protocol reduces the computation and storage of the server and tag while improving the security.
