As one of the core techniques in 5G, the Internet of Things is more interested than ever. Furthermore, radio frequency identification (RFID) plays a crucial role in Internet of Things development. Although the low‐cost RFID system has wide prospect, it has to face with huge challenges because of potential security risks, privacy problems, and efficiency because of its restrictions on processing, storage, and power in RFID tags. One of the possible solutions in secure authentication of the low‐cost RFID system is the lightweight RFID authentication protocol. A lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol with cache in the reader is proposed in this paper, named LRMAPC. The LRMAPC can greatly reduce the computational and transmission cost. Especially, it can reduce computational costs greatly when a large number of tags want to be authenticated. We prove the correctness of LRMAPC using GNY logic. Compared with some existing works, LRMAPC achieves higher efficiency and stronger security. Furthermore, we developed LRMAPC into ULRMAPC, an ultralightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol with cache in the reader. Compared with SASI and Gossamer protocols, ULRMAPC also achieves higher efficiency and stronger security in storage and computation cost. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
