The existing smart grid device authentication system is concentrated on DCU, meter reading FEP and MDMS, and the authentication system for smart meters is not established. Although some cryptographic chips have been developed at present, it is difficult to complete the PKI authentication scheme because it is at the low level of simple encryption. Unlike existing power grids, smart grids are based on open two-way communication, increasing the risk of accidents as information security vulnerabilities increase. However, PKI is difficult to apply to smart meters, and there is a possibility of accidents such as system shutdown by sending manipulated packets and sending false information to the operating system. Issuing an existing PKI certificate to smart meters with high hardware constraints makes authentication and certificate renewal difficult, so an ultra-lightweight password authentication protocol that can operate even on the poor performance of smart meters (such as non-IP networks, processors, memory, and storage space) was designed and implemented. As a result of the experiment, lightweight cryptographic authentication protocol was able to be executed quickly in the Cortex-M3 environment, and it is expected that it will help to prepare a more secure authentication system in the smart grid industry.

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.

Recent advances in healthcare technologies along with improved medical care have led to a steady increase in life expectancy over the past few decades. As a result, the world population is aging rapidly. Various researches have been carried out to provide information and communication technologies based solutions that enhance the well-being of elderly people and provide them with a well margin of independency in their daily life. Ambient assisted living can be defined as the use of information and communication technologies in a person's daily living and working environment to enable them to stay active longer, remain socially connected and live independently into old age. Since the information transmitted in ambient assisted living systems is very sensitive, the security and privacy of such data are becoming important issues that must be dealt with. In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight authentication protocol for the ambient assisted living systems. The proposed authentication protocol not only supports several important security requirements needed by the ambient assisted living systems, but can also withstand various types of attacks. In addition, the security analysis results show that the proposed authentication protocol is more efficient and secure than the existing authentication protocols.

With various sensors and communications capabilities, the Internet is growing larger as the internet can communicate with the Internet. Given the growing vulnerability of the internet market, the development of security and security is increasing, and the development of the internet is actively evolving and the development of the internet is actively being carried out. In particular, it is required to introduce lightweight and secure authentication schemes, especially those that are difficult to use due to the difficulty of using authentication schemes. Thus, the safety of the secure authentication system of the Internet is becoming very important. Therefore, in this thesis, we propose certification technologies on secure objects to ensure correct, safe communication in the context of the internet context.

In this paper, as a proper authentication method, we made it authenticate a user who has unauthorized device with using authorized device received from telecommunication company using QR code. We designed a better performance protocol which can authenticate mutually using safer and uncomplicated operations than existing user authentication system. Proposed user authentication system authenticates previously authorized mobile device without any information of client who is requesting to get access from outside, so we can basically prevent attack from hackers. In the future, we can possibly use it as user authentication method in common internet environment or we could study on user unique information instead of mobile device information.

In general, internet users need to remember several IDs and passwords when they use diverse web sites. From an effective management perspective, SSO system was suggested to reduce user inconvenience. Kerberos authentication, which uses centralized system management, is a typical example of a broker-based SSO authentication model. However, further research is required, because the existing Kerberos authentication system has security vulnerability problems of password and replay attacks. In SSO authentication systems, a major security vulnerability is the replay attack. When user credentials are seized by attackers, an authorized session can be obtained through a replay attack. In this paper, an improved SSO authentication model based on the broker-based model and a secure lightweight SSO mechanism against credential replay attack is proposed.
