This paper presents an efficient interoperation scheme of a VPN(Virtual Private Network) and Mobile IP using a hierarchical structure of a FA(Foreign Agent). In the proposed scheme, the GFA(Gateway Foreign Agent) plays a role of VPN gateway on behalf of the MN(Mobile Node). When the MN moves in the same GFA domain, because the GFA has already an IPsec security association with a VPN gateway in the home network of the MN, the MN does not need an IPsec re-negotiaion. In this way, our mechanism reduces a message overhead and a delay resulted from an IPsec negotiation. And a MN can send a data to a correspondent node without a packet leakage. We show a performance of our scheme by using a discrete analytical model. Analytical results demonstrated that the total processing cost calculated by a registration update cost and a packet delivery cost is significantly reduced through our proposed scheme.

As the mobile industry has developed, people have become to pursue more delicate information exchange and close relationships between individuals through it. According to such a request, Social Networking Services have been activated based on short messages. Moreover, in combination with smart phones, the needs for adding location information is recently increasing more and more. Security and Privacy problems, however, are raised because such location information is so sensitive and may be used maliciously by someone else. Especially, storing location information of family members in a public server may become a negative factor to hinder people from utilizing such services. Therefore, this paper proposes a location based SNS service using smart phones for home community that runs on a home server in a house so that relationships between family members at home may be closer and improved through utilizing the service.

This paper proposes a new steganography scheme based on frequency domain using various image frames and collages that can protect the copyright of digital contents for users and securely perform to exchange the security information in the digital communication environments. The main idea of our proposed scheme is that the security informations related its copyright embed into the frequency domain of the image frame and collages when a user decorates the original image by using various image frames and collages. The strengths of our proposed scheme are as follows: (1) It allows to freely control the quantity of embedded information by changing the number of image frames and collages. (2) It is secure to variety image distortion attacks. (3) It maintains high PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio). As a result, the proposed steganography scheme can be used practically diverse multimedia security fields such as digital copyright protect, secure message communication and digital watermarking.

Lately, the MANET research has focused on providing routing services with security and previous schemes have been proposed for detecting malicious nodes in a MANET. However, they still include some problems which malicious nodes cannot be found when they falsely report other nodes as malicious. Accordingly, we propose a novel and efficient scheme for detecting malicious nodes using report messages and a report table which is consisted of node ID both for suspecting and reporting when the malicious nodes behave normally during the route discovery, but the other hand they drop and modify packets, or falsely report other nodes as malicious during the data transmission. Our proposed scheme is applicable to not only DSR but aiso AODV. And we provide some simulation results of our proposed scheme by comparing general AODV with our proposed scheme. Simulation results show that our Proposed scheme outperforms general AODV in terms of average packet loss ratio and packet delivery ratio.

A wireless sensor network is composed of many resource constrained sensor nodes. These networks are attacked by malicious attacks like DDoS and routing attacks. In this paper, we propose the intrusion detection and prevention system using convergence of software-defined networking and security technology in wireless sensor networks. Our proposed scheme detects various intrusions in a central server by accumulating log messages of OpenFlow switch through SDN controller and prevents the intrusions by configuring OpenFlow switch. In order to validate our proposed scheme, we show it can detect and prevent some malicious attacks in wireless sensor networks.

As emergence of the ubiquitous society, it is possible to access the network for services needed to us in anytime and anywhere. The phenomena has been accelerated by revitalization of the sensor network offering the sensing information and data. Currently, sensor network contributes the convenience for various services such as environment monitoring, health care and home automation. However, sensor network has a weak point compared to traditional network, which is easily exposed to attacker. For this reason, messages communicated over the sensor network, are encrypted with symmetric key and transmitted. A number of symmetric cryptography algorithms have been researched. Among of them HIGHT algorithm in hardware and software implementation are more efficient than tradition AES in terms of speed and chip size. Therefore, it is suitable to resource constrained devices including RFID tag, Sensor node and Smart card. In the paper, we present the optimized software implementation on the ultra-light symmetric cryptography algorithm, HIGHT.

As the number of smartphone users increases, vulnerability to privacy protection is increasing. This is because personal information is stored on various servers connected to the Internet and the user is authenticated using the same ID and password. Authentication methods such as OTP, FIDO, and PIN codes have been introduced to solve traditional authentication methods, but their use is limited for authentication that requires sharing with other users. In this paper, we propose the authentication method that is needed for the management of shared information such as hospitals and corporations. The proposed algorithm is an algorithm that can authenticate users in the same place in real time using smart phone IMEI, QR code, BLE, push message. We propose an authentication algorithm that can perform user authentication through mutual cooperation using a smart phone and can cancel realtime authentication. And we designed and implemented a mutual authentication system using proposed algorithm.

In this paper, we define the secure authentication model to provide a mobile node with global roaming service and integrate the Fast Handoff scheme with our approach to minimize the service latency. By starting the AAA(Authentication, Authorization and Account) procedure with Fast Handoff simultaneously when a roaming occurs, authentication latency is reduced significantly and provision of fast and seamless service is possible. The previous works such as IPsec(Internet Protocol Security), RR (Return Routability) and AAA define the procedures performed after the completion of Layer2 Handoff which leads us to study a way of providing the real time and QoS guaranteed service during this period. The proposed scheme is for this goal and when appling it to roaming environment it shows the cost reduction up to 55% and 17% for the case of the MN receiving the FBACK and not respectively before L2 Handoff occurs.

As wireless network market is increasing rapidly, the biggest issue is to transfer safe data and to authenticate users. This paper proposes ECbA(Elliptic Curve based Authentication) which consists of the mutual authentication mechanism that users can ascertain the identity of an authentication server and the user authentication mechanism that an authentication server can make sure users' identity, by using Elliptic Curve algorithms. The proposed ECbA system diminishes the message quantity and the execution time by using the small elliptic curve algorithm with the small key length in authentication. In addition, as this paper reduces the authentication steps of existing EAP_TLS into 6 authentication steps, the communication cost and mutual authentication time can be saved. As this paper distributes new keys, whenever authenticating users by using key exchange mechanism, it provides safe encryption communication and prevents DoS attack by controlling the users authentication request by authentication server.
