DESCRIPTION:Dr Pedro Peris-Lopez\, Delft University\nIn recent times\, man
 y generally short lived RFID authentication protocols have been proposed w
 ith only moderate success. The vast majority of RFID authentication protoc
 ols assume proximity between readers and tags\, due to the limited range o
 f the radio channel. However\, in real scenarios an intruder can be locate
 d between the prover (tag) and the verifier (reader) and trick the latter 
 into thinking that the former is in close proximity. This attack is genera
 lly known as a relay attack and can come in different shapes\, including d
 istance fraud\, mafia fraud and terrorist attacks. Distance bounding proto
 cols represent a promising countermeasure to hinder relay attacks\, and so
 me interesting proposals have grown lately. Another very exciting problem\
 , introduced by Juels in 2004\, is how to show that two tags have been sim
 ultaneously scanned. This could potentially have numerous real life applic
 ations. He called this kind of evidence a yoking-proof\, and it is expecte
 d to be verifiable offline. Then\, some authors suggested the generalizati
 on of the proof for a larger number of tags. This is another very promisin
 g and still quite unexplored research field.  Prof. Peris-Lopez' homepage
