1 Scope
This document describes a crypto suite based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)
for the ISO/IEC 18000 series of standards protocol. In particular, this document specifies the use of elliptic
curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key agreement in a secure channel establishment and the
use of elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) in an authentication mechanism.
This document specifies a crypto suite for ECDSA-ECDH for air interface for RFID systems.
The crypto suite is defined in alignment with existing air interfaces.
This document defines a mutual authentication method and methods of use for the cipher.
A Tag and an Interrogator can support one, a subset, or all of the specified options,
clearly stating what is supported. Key update is not supported in this document.
ECDSA-ECDH cipher is a high-weight security protocol especially for active RFID system,
aiming at meeting those scenarios with high level security requirement.
