The rapid evolution of IoT devices has revolutionized the IT field, where automation has been given prime importance. RFID is one of such most prominent in-use technology used to track real-world entities. The entity could be a living object or a non-living object. The tag-attached object and the reader-server communicate wirelessly with each other. Applying RFID in healthcare has revolutionized the treatment process. The doctor and a patient, communicating over a wireless, insecure channel over the network, are subjected to threat by an unauthorized user. The clear text data sent over a wireless channel is insecure and subject to capture, due to known disclosure attacks. A protocol that is a necessity to prevent the data from leakage and to protect privacy is the requirement. This paper presents a protocol in which we use the hash function and the PUF function. The protocol is programmed and is simulated using the Scyther tool and tested for the possible attacks. The security analysis by Scyther shows that our proposed protocol is secure against known attacks. Upon analysis, we found that the communication cost and computation cost are considerably low. Hence, we design a light weight Authentication protocol such that if it is deployed over devices where the storage as well as computing capacity is low
