It has been proposed that several RFID authentication protocols based on hash chain. Status based authentication protocol and challenge-response based authentication protocol are secured against location tracking attacks, spoofing attacks, replay attacks, traffic analysis attacks but are vulnerable to Dos attacks. RFID authentication protocol with strong resistance against traceability and denial of service attack is secured against location tracking attack, spoofing attacks, replay attacks, DoS attacks but are vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks. The present study suggests a more secure and lightweight RFID authentication protocol which is combining the advantages of hash-chain authentication protocol and RFID authentication protocol with strong resistance against traceability and denial of service attack. The results of the secure analysts for a proposed protocol are illustrated that it is secured against location tracking attacks, spoofing attacks, replay attacks, traffic analysis attacks, Dos attacks and is a lightweight operation between server and tag.

In ubiquitous environment, mobile devices, which users carry, tend to be resource-constraint, thus resulting in the need for an authentication protocol, which provides light-weight computations as well as strong security. Recently S/Key based protocols, which satisfy such a requirement by achieving light-weight computations, strong authentication and session key exchange, have been proposed. In particular, You and Jung's protocol is more efficient and secure than others. In this paper, we compare and analyze You-Jung with other protocols. Also, we design an authentication scenario and status of mobile devices while implementing the protocol.

The Internet of Things (IoT), in which resource constrained devices communicate with each other, requires a lightweight security protocol. In this paper, we propose a new message authentication scheme using a hash tree for lightweight message authentication in the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol. The proposed scheme provides lightweight secure operations compared with those of the DTLS protocol. Besides, it provides more suitable performance than the DTLS protocol for an IoT environment, thanks to the reduced use of message authentication code.

IoT 환경에서 사용되는 프로토콜 중 IETF의 CoRE 워킹 그룹에서 채택한 IoT 프로토콜 CoAP가 표준으로 사용되고 있으며 IoT 인증 프로토콜에 대한 연구도 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. CoAP 프로토콜은 저전력, 저용량 메모리 등의 제한된 환경에서 IoT 센서 디바이스들 간의 통신을 지원한다. CoAP 프로토콜은 안전성을 제공하기 위해 DTLS와 함께 사용되는데, 점점 경량화 되어가는 IoT 환경에서 오버헤드가 존재하는 DTLS에 대해 개선되어야 할 사항들이 존재한다. 이를 개선하기 위해 DTLS의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 여러 연구들이 진행되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 LESS 인증기법을 분석하고 이를 기반으로 보다 향상된 효율성을 제공하는 기법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 안전하고 효율적인 홈네트워크 서비스를 제공하기 위해 경량화된 상호인증 프로토콜을 제안한다. Lee 등은 공개키 연산을 이용하여 홈네트워크 상에서 속성기반의 인증된 키교환 프로토콜을 제시하였다. 이 프로토콜에서는 전방향 안전성을 제공하고 있으나 티켓을 이용한 두드러진 연산의 오버헤드를 줄이지는 못하고 있다. 따라서 제안하는 프로토콜은 해시함수와 카운터만을 이용하여 효율성과 안전성을 제공했다. 또한 세션키 생성 후에는 사용자의 가전 제어 레벨을 체크함으로써 안전한 홈 네트워크 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual authentication protocol for secure and efficient home network service. Lee et al. recently proposed an attribute-base authentication key agreement protocol using public key in home network. Its protocol provided forward secrecy but don't diminish conspicious overhead of operation using ticket. Therefore the proposed protocol provided the security and efficiency using hash function and counter. Also it can provide secure home network service by check consumer electronics control level of users after created session key.

Lightweight authentication protocols are necessary in RFlD systems since a RFlD tag has computation constraints. Over recent years, many protocols have been proposed, In this paper, we examine the HB protocol and its variants, and their vulnerabilities to attacks, We analyze the problem of Piramuthu's attack on the HB++ protocol and propose solutions to it.

In ubiquitous environment the authentication protocol design for RFID security is studied to protect user privacy in RFID system. The XOR-based approach of RFID security is implemented inexpensively and simply. However because of using same security informations, ones of tag is disclosed easily. In this paper, we enhance the previous XOR-based authentication protocol using a circular shift operation.

EAP is an extensible authentication protocol that supports EAP methods with various authentication mechanisms. Since EAP itself is designed as a protocol for authentication only, it is not used for general data transmission after authentication between peer and authenticator. EAP itself is a protocol that can operate lightly in terms of the simple communication structure of EAP, but the procedure may become more complicated depending on which EAP method is selected and used. In particular, the IoT market has recently become established, and frequent authentication environments arise due to data loss, modulation, and repeated connections in a wireless environment. In this case, some highly secure EAP methods are not suitable for some IoT environments that require lighter and faster communications than complex procedures. In this paper, we design a lightweight authentication EAP method that is suitable for IoT environment that does not touch the existing EAP framework and requires frequent authentication and fast communication.

대리인증경로관리는 대리인증경로구축과 대리인증경로검증을 함께 지칭하는 개념이다. 휴대폰과 같이 한정된 컴퓨팅 파워를 갖는 클라이언트는 상대적으로 높은 계산능력이 요구되는 인증경로관리기능을 스스로 처리하지 않고 서버로 위임하여 경량화된 클라이언트를 지향할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 대리인증경로관리 프로토콜의 하나인 SCVP에 대해 RFC 3379에서 정의한 대리인증경로관리 프로토콜 평가기준을 적용하여 그 적합성 여부를 살펴본다. 아울러 개선된 SCVP를 제안하여 평가기준을 만족하지 않는 사항을 보완하는 동시에 프로토콜의 안전성과 확장성을 증대하고자 한다.
