This paper describes a design of a lightweight security system-on-chip (SoC) suitable for the implementation of security protocols for IoT and mobile devices. The security SoC using Cortex-M0 as a CPU integrates hardware crypto engines including an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) core, a SHA3 hash core, an ARIA-AES block cipher core and a true random number generator (TRNG) core. The ECC core was designed to support twenty elliptic curves over both prime field and binary field defined in the SEC2, and was based on a word-based Montgomery multiplier in which the partial product generations/additions and modular reductions are processed in a sub-pipelining manner. The H/W-S/W co-operation for elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (EC-DSA) protocol was demonstrated by implementing the security SoC on a Cyclone-5 FPGA device. The security SoC, synthesized with a 65-nm CMOS cell library, occupies 193,312 gate equivalents (GEs) and 84 kbytes of RAM.

Public-key cryptographic algorithms such as RSA and ECC, which are currently in use, have used mathematical problems that would take a long time to calculate with current computers for encryption. But those algorithms can be easily broken by the Shor algorithm using the quantum computer. Lattice-based cryptography is proposed as new public-key encryption for the post-quantum era. This cryptographic algorithm is performed in the Polynomial Ring, and polynomial multiplication requires the most processing time. Therefore, a hardware model module is needed to calculate polynomial multiplication faster. Number Theoretic Transform, which called NTT, is the FFT performed in the finite field. The logic verification was performed using HDL, and the proposed design at the transistor level using Hspice was compared and analyzed to see how much improvement in delay time and power consumption was achieved. In the proposed design, the average delay was improved by 30% and the power consumption was reduced by more than 8%.

AAA(Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) protocol is a framework that propose functions of AAA on multiple networks and platforms. AAA protocol is extending from previous RADIUS protocol to Diameter protocol. There are some Diameter applications for variety purpose. Diameter CMS Application makes Diameter messages more secure by using PKI. Diameter CMS Application establish DSA(Diameter Security Association) for end to end security. However the Application has some problems to establish DSA(Diameter Security Association), which can make Diameter system unstable. If one system lose DSA information for some system error - for example, reboot -, the secure communication between two nodes may not be possible. At the application such as MIP, even user registration can't be done. In this paper, we propose a mechannism for DSA re-establishment, and also show the result of the implementation.

Public Key Infrastructure(PKI) provides a strong authentication. Privilege Management Infrastructure(PMI) as a new technology can provide user's attribute information. The main function of PMI is to give more specified authority and role to user. To authenticate net and role, we have used digital signature. Role Based Access Control(RBAC) is implemented by digital signature. RBAC provides some flexibility for security management. NEIS(National Education Information System) can not always provide satisfied quality of security management. The main idea of the proposed RNEIS(Roll Based NEIS) is that user's role is stored in AC, access control decisions are driven by authentication policy and role. Security manager enables user to refer to the role stored in user's AC, admits access control and suggests DB encryption by digital signature.

IISO/IEC 9594-8 defines the public key framework and attribute certificate framework. Attribute certificate framework deals with privilege management infrastructure(PMI). In PMI, for privilege management using attribute certificates, role assignment certificates and role specification certificates are used to assign and specify privileges independently. Role specification certificates includes privilege specifications and the details far privilege management of network environments. Privilege management of unreliable network environment tries to enhance the reliability and efficiency of privilege information transmission forwarding over unreliable routes in the presence of potentially faulty nodes and edges. Each node forms a role specification tree based on role specification relationship data collected from the network. In this paper privilege management cost with the role specification certificates tree structure is evaluated trying to reduce the overhead incurred by role creation and modification of privileges. The multicasting of packets are used for scalability. We establish management cost model taking into account the packet loss and node reliability which continuously join and leave for network. We present quantitative results which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed privilege management scheme.

In modern society, as the rapid development of IT technology combined with the computer-based high-speed communication networks makes it possible to provide a wide spectrum of services and devices, we have been confronting a new cultural transformation era, referred to as the information society. However, the requirements to be considered in security aspect have became more complicated and diversified, and there remains the same security weaknesses as in the existing media or protocol. Particularly, the office network device with roaming is susceptible to the different kinds of attacks such as terminal hacking, virus attacks, and information leakage because the computing capacity is relatively low and the loading of already developed security functions is difficult. Although developed as one solution to this problems, PKI security authentication technology isn't suitable for multi-domain environments providing uonments proffice network service, and so the development of a novel authentication system is needed. Therefore, in this paper researched the roaming and device authentication/auth for multitechnology using an ID-based public key, authorization ticket, and Sub-device ticket with a purpose to contribute to the development of the secured and efficient technology.

Group signature schemes allow a group member to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. In case of dispute, only a designated group manager can reveal the identity of the member. During last decade, group signature schemes have been intensively investigated in the literature and applied to various applications. However, there has been no scheme properly handling the situation that a group member wants to leave a group or is excluded by a group manager. As noted in[3], the complexity of member deletion stands in the way of real world applications of group signatures and the member deletion problem has been a pressing open problem. In this paper we propose an efficient group signature scheme that allows member deletion. The length of the group public key and the size of signatures all independent of the size of the group and the security of the scheme relies on the RSA assumption. In addition, the method of tracing all signatures of a specific member is introduced.

Existing web-based system management software solutions show some limitations in time and space. Moreover, hey possess such as shortcomings unreliable error message announcements and difficulties with real-time assistance supports and emergency measures. In order to solve these deficiencies, Wireless Remote Control System(W-RCS) was designed and implemented. W-RCS is able to manage and monitor remote systems by using mobile communication devices for instantaneous control. The implementation of W-RCS leads to these security problems as well as solutions to aforementioned issues with existing web-based system management software solutions. Therefore, this paper has focused on the security matters related to W-RCS. The security functions based on public key infrastructure include mobile device user authentication and target system access control. The W-RCS allows real-time user authentication, increases the flexibility of resource administrators and mobile device non, and provides not only uninterrupted services, but also safe mobile office environments.

There has been significant research in security technology such as e-passport standards, as e-passports have been introduced internationally. E-passports combine the latest security technologies such as smart card, public key infrastructure, and biometric recognition, so that these technologies can prevent unauthorized copies and counterfeits. Biometric information stored in e-passports is the most sensitive personal information, and it is expected to bring the highest risk of damages in case of its forgery or duplication. The present e-passport standards cannot handle security features that verify whether its biometric information is copied or not. In this paper, we propose an e-passport security technology in which biometric watermarking is used to prevent the copy of biometric information in the e-passport. The proposed method, biometric watermarking, embeds the invisible date of acquisition into the original data during the e-passport issuing process so that the human visual system cannot perceive its invisibly watermarked information. Then the biometric sample, having its unauthorized copy, is retrieved at the moment of reading the e-passport from the issuing database. The previous e-passport security technology placed an emphasis on both access control readers and anti-cloning chip features, and it is expected that the proposed feature, copy protection of biometric information, will be demanded as the cases of biometric recognition to verify personal identity information has increased.

A biometric hardware security module is a physical device that comes in the form of smartcard or some other USB type security token is composed with biometric sensor and microcontroller unit (MCU). These modules are designed to process key generation and electronic signature generation inside of the device (so that the security token can safely save and store confidential information, like the electronic signature generation key and the biometric sensing information). However, the existing model is not consistent that can be caused by the disclosure of an ID and password, which is used by the existing personal authentication technique based on the security token, and provide a high level of security and personal authentication techniques that can prevent any intentional misuse of a digital certificate. So, this paper presents a model that can provide high level of security by utilizing the biometric security token and Public Key Infrastructure efficiently, presenting a model for privacy preserving personal authentication that links the biometric security token and the digital certificate.
