Abstract

Platform convergence originated from the convergence of broadcast and telecommunication is making rapid progress including IT and not-IT fields in order to provide a variety of converged services, S/W eco-system construction, and so on. With the advent of convergence environment, IEEE 802.15.4-based RF4CE technology is rising because of creating momentum for the market using converged connectivity between home and office devices as well as all around located devices. In this paper, we present enhanced RF4CE key seed distribution approach in order to provide efficient connection and control between devices. The proposed approach consists of device mutual authentication, initial vector assignment, and two-phase key seed distribution. Moreover, we make a development real RF4CE test board and its key agreement simulator to verify the proposed approach.

방송과 통신의 융합으로 시작된 미디어 플랫폼간의 융합은 이제 다양한 컨버전스 서비스를 창출하기 위한 S/W 생태계 구축을 시작으로 IT 및 비IT를 망라하여 전 업종으로 융 복합화를 앞당기고 있다. 이러한 컨버전스 환경의 대두와 함께 가정 및 산업용, 그리고 다양한 환경에서의 기기간 자동화 및 연결을 통한 새로운 부가 서비스를 창출하려는 RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics) 기술이 대두되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 기기간 효율적인 연결 및 제어를 위해 활용될 수 있는 ZigBee 표준화 기구의 RF4CE 기술에서의 향상된 키 교환 스킴에 대한 방안을 제시하였다. 제시된 방안은 기기간 상호 인증 및 두 단계의 Key Seed 분배 기법 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 본 논문에서는 제안 방안의 분석 및 실제 구현 및 실험을 통해 그 유용성을 검증하였다.
