Abstract

We give an intuitive formal definition of untraceability in the standard Dolev-Yao intruder model, inspired by existing definitions of anonymity. We show how to verify whether communication protocols satisfy the untraceability property and apply our methods to known RFID protocols. We show a previously unknown attack on a published RFID protocol and use our framework to prove that the protocol is not untraceable.
