With the development of Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies, theoretical study on the protocol's design promotes the increasing reality applications of this product. The protocol designers attach significance to untraceability analysis on key‐update RFID authentication protocols. This paper analyzes two RFID authentication protocols in terms of forward untraceability and backward untraceability, which are two necessary conditions for key‐update RFID protocols and ownership transfer protocols. This paper introduces impersonation attacks as well as desynchronization attacks to two protocols. This paper presents two enhanced protocols, which can achieve forward untraceability and backward untraceability privacy. This paper shows the outstanding efficiency and security properties of two improved schemes through detailed analysis and comparisons.
