Recently many mutual authentication protocol for light-weight hash-based for RFID have been proposed. Most of them have assumed that communications between a backend server and reader are secure, and not considered threats for backend server and RFID reader impersonation. In the real world, however, attacks against database or reader are more effective rather than attacks against RFID tag, at least from attacker's perspective. In this paper, we assume that all communications are not secure to attackers except the physical attack, and considering realistic threats for designing a mutual authentication protocol based on hash function. And It supports a mutual authentication and can protect against the replay attack, impersonation attack, location tracking attack, and denial of service attack in the related work. We besides provide a secure and efficient RFID mutual authentication protocol which resists impersonation attacks on all of the entities and alow a backend server to search tag-related information efficiently. We conclude with analyzing the safety and efficiency among latest works.

IoT(Internet of Things) security is becoming increasingly important because IoT potentially has a variety of security threats, including limited hardware specifications and physical attacks. This paper is a study on the certification technology suitable for the lightened IoT environment, and we propose a system in which many gateways share authentication information and issue authentication tokens for mutual authentication using blockchain. The IoT node can be issued an authentication token from one gateway to continuously perform authentication with a gateway in the block-chain network using an existing issued token without performing re-authentication from another gateway participating in the block-chain network. Since we do not perform re-authentication for other devices in a blockchain network with only one authentication, we proposed multi phase authentication consisting of device authentication and message authentication in order to enhance the authentication function. By sharing the authentication information on the blockchain network, it is possible to guarantee the integrity and reliability of the authentication token.

유비쿼터스 사회를 만들기 위한 핵심 기술인 RFID는 시간과 공간을 초월하여 우리에게 정보를 제공해 줄 것으로 기대되고 있지만, RFID 시스템이 가지고 있는 특성으로 인하여 프라이버시를 침해할 수 있다는 심각한 문제를 안고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 다양한 연구가 진행되어 왔지만 기존의 연구들은 보안상 문제점과 태그 및 백 엔드 데이터베이스의 과도한 처리능력을 요구하고 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서 제안하는 프로토콜은 해쉬함수와 XOR연산, 키 교환을 이용하여 스푸핑이나, 재전송 공격으로부터 안전 하면서도, 백 엔드 데이터베이스 안에서의 비교연산 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 경량화된 프로토콜을 제안한다.

To guarantee security between the tag and back-end server and implementation efficiency in low power tag, we propose two typed mutual authentication protocols in RFID system. One is static-ID authentication scheme which is well suitable in distributed server environments. The other is dynamic-ID scheme which is additively satisfied forward security. In proposed scheme, it does not need any random number generator in tag and requires only one(maximally three) hash operation(s) in tag or server to authenticate each other. Furthermore, we implement the proposed schemes in RFID smart card system and verify its normal operations.

The IoT market continues to expand and grow, but the security threat to IoT devices is also increasing. However, it is difficult to apply the security technology applied to the existing system to IoT devices that have a problem of resource limitation. Therefore, in this paper, we present a service that can improve the security of IoT devices by presenting authentication and lightweight cryptographic algorithms that can reduce the overhead of applying security features, taking into account the nature of resource limitations of IoT devices. We want to apply these service to home network IoT equipment to provide security. The authentication and lightweight cryptographic algorithm application protocols presented in this paper have secured the safety of the service through the use of LEA encryption algorithms and secret key generation by users, IoT devices and server in the IoT environment. Although there is no difference in speed from randomly generating secret keys in experiments, we verify that the problem of resource limitation of IoT devices can be solved by additionally not applying logic for secret key sharing to IoT devices.

Cryptographic technologies providing confidentiality and integrity such as encryption algorithms and message authentication codes (MACs) are necessary for preventing security threats in the Internet of Things (IoT) where various kinds of devices are interconnected. As a number of encryption schemes that have passed security verification are not necessarily suitable for low-power and low-performance IoT devices, various lightweight cryptographic schemes have been proposed. However, a study of lightweight MACs is not sufficient in comparison to that of lightweight block ciphers. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed various kinds of MACs for their classification and analysis and then, we presented a new way for future MAC development. We also implemented major MAC algorithms and performed experiments to investigate their performance degradation on low-end micro-controllers.

Wireless Sensor Networks is the technology which is used in explore role for military purposes, as well as various fields such as industrial equipment management, process management, and leverage available technologies by distributing node into various areas. but there are some limitations about energy, processing power, and memory storage capacity in wireless sensor networks environment, because of tiny hardware, so various routing protocols are proposed to overcome it. however existing routing protocols are very vulnerable in the intercommunication, because they focus on energy efficiency, and they can't use existing encryption for it, Because of sensor's limitations such like processing power and memory. Therefore, this paper propose mutual authentication scheme that prevent various security threats by using mutual authentication techniques and, Key generation and updating system as taking into account energy efficiency.

이 시스템은 무선 주파수와 RFID 태그 사용으로 불법적인 위변조, 도��, 추적, 프라이버시 침해 등은 불가피하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 리더와 태그 및 데이터베이스 간에 해시 체인을 이용하여 키를 생성한다. 키 정보를 전송 메시지에 추가하지 않기 때문에 공격자는 키를 획득할 수 없으며 간단한 논리 연산과 카운터만을 사용하기 때문에 저전력 RFID 시스템에 적합하다.
