In the last few years, HB-Like protocols have gained much attention in the field of lightweight authentication protocols due to their efficient functioning and large potential applications in low-cost RFID tags, which are on the other side spreading so fast. However, most published HB protocols are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack discovered by Ouafi, Overbeck, and Vaudenay. In this paper, we present a new variant of HB-family protocols named HB-MP*, which enhances the HB-MP and HB-MP+ protocols. It reserves the simplicity of HB+ besides avoiding man-in-the-middle attack including GRS and OOV models, which were pointed as weaknesses in the previous protocols. The proposed protocol is aiming to achieve unpredictable randomness in the parameter of the rotation function using only simple operations which will enhance the security and performance as well. At last, the security and performance analysis of the proposed protocol are provided in terms of computation, storage and communication costs.
