We present a new multimodal biometric authentication method, which performs both feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion. After generating support vector machines for new features made by integrating face and voice features, the final decision for authentication is made by integrating decisions of face SVM classifier, voice SVM classifier and integrated features SVM clssifier. We justify our proposal by comparing our method with traditional one by experiments with XM2VTS multimodal database. The experiments show that our multilevel fusion algorithm gives higher recognition rate than the existing schemes.

In this study, we designed an authentication method that can perform authentication again by loading authentication data using a blockchain and comparing it with the authentication data in the future. To this end, after passing through the conventional ID and password input method and the widely used ARS authentication method, authentication is performed using biometric data stored in each user's terminal. After going through these steps, we chose a method of comparing the previously stored chain data with the recently authenticated data to perform final authentication and then reloading the authenticated data into the chain data. It is expected that this study will be able to suggest various authentication methods.

In this paper, we propose a personalized user authentication system (PUAS) that can be used in multiple stages in user authentication by customizing the password keyword to be used in user authentication. The proposal concept is that the user oneself defines the password keyword to be used in user authentication so as to cope with a passive retransmission attack which reuses the password obtained when the server system is accessed in user authentication. The authentication phase is also designed so that it can be expanded in multiple stages in a single step. Also, it is designed to store user-defined password related information in an arbitrary encrypted place in the system, thereby designing to disable the illegal access of the network. Therefore, even if an intruder accesses the system using the proposed system, it is possible to generate personal authentication information by generating a password keyword through unique personal information possessed only by an individual and not know the place where the generated authentication information is stored, It has a strong security characteristic.

This paper implements Multiple User Authentication System to which the system authenticating with password only has been upgraded. The 4-staged authentication including user ID, password, smart card and access control information, etc. is used at the suggested Multiple User Authentication System. The user authentication system that this paper suggests has been developed based on SecuROS/FreeBSD with the function of access control added to FreeBSD kernel. It provides both the function to limit accost range to the system to each user and the function to check that when inputting important information the demand is the one if the system ; thus, the reliability becomes increased. In the SecuROS/FreeBSD system, MAC and RBAC are being used. So, in the case of users accessing to the system, the Information about the policies of MAC and RBAC to which users would access is used in the authentication. At the time, the access to system if permitted only when the access control information that users demanded satisfies all the access control rules which have been defined In the system.

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.

In recent years, cloud computing technology has been socially emerged that provides services remotely as various devices are used. However, there are increasing attempts by some users to provide cloud computing services with malicious intent. In this paper, we propose a property - based multi - level hierarchical approach to facilitate authentication access for users accessing servers in cloud environment. The proposed method improves the security efficiency as well as the server efficiency by hierarchically distributing a set of attribute values by replacing the order of the user 's attribute values in the form of bits according to a certain rule. In the performance evaluation, the proposed method shows that the accuracy of authentication according to the number of attributes is higher than that of the existing method by an average of 15.8% or more, and the authentication delay time of the server is decreased by 10.7% on average. As the number of attributes increases, the average overhead change is 8.5% lower than that of the conventional method.

안전한 멀티캐스트 아키텍쳐, 키분배, 송신자 인증 등에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있지만 서비스 거부 공격이나 권한 없는 멤버에 대한 멀티캐스트 서비스 접근을 통제할 수 있는 접근통제 기술에 대한 연구는 극히 미진한 상태이다. 멀티캐스트 그룹의 경우, 그룹의 일부 멤버는 다른 멤버보다 높은 보안 레벨의 메시지를 교환할 수 있다. 또한 대규모의 멀티캐스트 통신 환경에서 트리의 깊이가 깊어짐에 따라 루트노드에 대한 접근통제 정보가 폭증하고, 서비스 거부 공격 또는 서비스 폭증으로 인한 루트노드의 서비스 장애시 멀티캐스트 서비스의 중단을 가져올 수 있는 취약한 구조를 갖고 있다. 기존의 송신자 기반 멀티캐스트 접근통제 방식이 멀티캐스트 라우터의 서브넷에 하나의 멤버만이 가능한 한계를 갖고 있고 다중 접속 네트워크 환경에서의 불법접근을 효율적으로 막지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제점을 분석하여 해결방안을 제시하고 기존 접근통제 모델을 확장하여 네트워크 계층에서의 효율적인 다단계 송신자 기반 접근통제 구조를 제시한다.

Current PKI system will confront more dangerous elements in the wireless network. Accordingly, this study suggests a plan to strengthen authentication system plan with using access control and encryption to the location. Locational information collecting devices such as GPS and sensor are utilized to create a new key for authentication and collect locational information. Such a key encodes data and creates an authentication code for are access control. By using the method suggested by this study, it is possible to control access of a military secret from unauthorized place and to protect unauthorized user with unproposed technique. In addition, this technique enables access control by stage with utilizing the existing PKI system more wisely.

A fingerprint is unique to each person and can be represented as a digital form. As the fingerprint is the part of human body, fingerprint recognition is much more easy to use and secure rather than using password or resident card for user authentication. In addition, as the newly released smart phones have built-in camera and fingerprint sensors, the demand for biometric authentication is increasing rapidly. But, the drawback is that the fingerprint can be counterfeited easily and if it's exposed to the hacker, it cannot be reused. Thus, the original fingerprint template should be transformed for registration and authentication purposes. Existing transformation functions use passcode to transform the original template to the cancelable form. Additional module is needed to input the passcode, so it requires more cost and lowers the usability. In this paper, we propose biometric authentication scheme that is economic and easy to use. The proposed scheme is consisted of cancelable biometric template creation, registration and user authentication protocols, and can control several security levels by configuring the number of fingerprints and scan times. We also analyzed that our scheme is secure against the brute-force attack and the active attacks.

Nowadays, fintech becomes the key technology of the mobile banking and payments. Financial market is moved to fintech-based non-face-to-face trade/payment from traditional face-to-face process in Korea. Core of this transition is the smartphones, which have several sensitive sensors for personal identifications such as fingerprint and iris recognition sensors. But it has some originated security risks by data path attacks, for instance, hacking and pharming. Multi-level certification and security systems are applied to avoid these threats effectively, while these protections can be cause of some inconvenience for non-face-to-face certifications and financing processes. In this paper, I confirmed that it have sensible differences correspond with the data connection paths such as WiFi networks and mobile communication networks of the smartphones, and I propose a gradual certification method which alleviates the inconvenience by risk-level definitions of the data-paths.
