현재 XML은 데이터의 표현에 있어서 가장 유연하고 독립성 있는 언어로 자리잡고 있으며 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 이러한 추세에 따라 OSGi 서비스 플랫폼 환경에서도 여러 서비스들이 자신의 데이터를 XML로 표현하고 있으며, 이를 기반으로 서비스 번들의 인증을 XML 전자 서명을 생성하여 수행할 수 있다. 현재 OSGi 에서는 PKI기반 서비스 번들 인중 메커니즘을 이용하고 RSH 프로토콜을 권고하고 있다. 그러나 저장 공간이나 연산이 제한된 환경에 있는 OSGi플랫폼 내에서 작동하는 데에는 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 JAR파일로 제공되는 서비스 번들에 대해 별도의 연산이나 인증과정 없이 XML 전자서명을 생성하여 서비스 번들을 인증하는 메커니즘을 제시한다.

기존의 네트워크 환경에서의 서비스와 달리 OSGi 프레임워크 환경에서의 서비스는 생명 주기에 따라 동적이고, 다른 서비스와의 상호작용 등이 일어나기 때문에 거짓 오퍼레이터(OP)에 의해 인증되지 않은 악의적인 서비스가 배치될 수 있고 또한 서비스가 변질 될 수도 있다. 그러므로, 개방형 서비스 게이트웨이 (OSG)를 시동하였을 때 초기화하는 과정인 부트스트랩핑(Bootstrapping)단계에서 공유 비밀키(shared secret)를 생성, 이로부터 유도된 MAC(Message Authentication Codes) Key를 기반으로 한 서비스 번들 인증을 통하여 안전한 서비스를 제공받을 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 번들을 인증 하기 위한 키 교환 방법과 서비스 인증 메커니즘을 제시하였다. 대칭키, 공개키의 키 교환 메커니즘은 대칭키를 이용한 키 교환 메커니즘이 공개키를 이용한 것보다 더 효율적이며, 이를 이용한 MAC 기반 서비스 번들 인증 또한 기존의 PKI 기반 서비스 번들 인증보다 인증 속도가 빠르다.

The OSGi service platform has several characteristics as in the followings. First, the service is deployed in the form of self-installable component called service bundle. Second, the service is dynamic according to its life-cycle and has interactions with other services. Third, the system resources of a home gateway are restricted. Due to these characteristics of a home gateway, there are a lot of rooms for malicious services can be Installed, and further, the nature of service can be changed. It is possible for those service bundles to influence badly on service gateways and users. However, there is no service bundle authentication mechanism considering those characteristics for the home gateway In this paper, we propose a service bundle authentication mechanism considering those characteristics for the home gateway environment. We design the mechanism for sharing a key which transports a service bundle safely in bootstrapping step that recognize and initialize equipments. And we propose the service bundle authentication mechanism based on MAC that use a shared secret created in bootstrapping step. Also we verify the safety of key sharing mechanism and service bundle authentication mechanism using a BAN Logic. This service bundle authentication mechanism Is more efficient than PKI-based service bundle authentication mechanism or RSH protocol in the service platform which has restricted resources such as storage spaces and operations.

This paper suggests a new security architecture for facilitating secure OSGi service platform environment. The security architecture includes 1) user authentication mechanism, 2) bundle authentication mechanism, 3) key sharing mechanism, and 4) authorization mechanism. The user authentication mechanism supplies SSO(single sign-on) functions which are useful for safe and easy user authentications. The bundle authentication mechanism utilizes both PKI-based and MAC-based digital signatures for efficiently authenticating service bundles. The key sharing mechanism, which is performed during bootstrapping phase of a service gateway, supplies a safe way for sharing secret keys that are required for authentication mechanisms. Finally, the authorization mechanism suggests distributed authorization among service providers and an operator by establishing their own security policies. The main contributions of the parer are twofold. First, we examine several security requirements of current OSGi specification when its security functions can be applied in real OSGi environments. Second, we describe the ways to resolve the problems by means of designing and implementing concrete security mechanisms.

A traditional agent was difficult to upgrade and to add MIB implementation code to it because most SNMP agent designs had MIB that was not a self-contained module. To solve this problem, we design the SNMP agent bundle composed of remotely uploadable SNMP agent core bundle and MIB Bundle Also, downloadable server bundle and user administration bundle is added to SNMP agent bundle to download MIB bundle from bundle server. By designing MB-MIB, we enable the network manager to monitor status of MIB bundle on managed devices. The network manager is allowed to install and upgrade the SNMP module or MIB remotely on line. This is the major benefit of designing the SNMP agent bundle based on OSGi. Finally, we expect the network manager to reduce time and expenses in managing enormous networks by using the SNMP agent bundle.

In the home gateway environment, several characteristics for the user authentication mechanism should be reflected separately from the existing distributed service environment. First, the platform of a home gateway is a component based system that its services are installed dynamically. Second, the convenience that user can use several services by authentication of once should be offered. Finally, the system resources of a home gateway are restricted. However, a user authentication mechanism that reflected these characteristics is not shown at the user admin service specification of the OSGi service platform.(OSGi is the representative standardization organization of hone gateway.) Also, there is no existing authentication protocol that satisfies these qualities at the same time. In this paper, we propose a new user authentication mechanism considering those characteristics for the home gateway environment. We also design and implement an independent authentication service bundle based on the OSGi service platform so that it can perform user authentication operations for each bundle service. We supplement and extend the Kerberos Protocol that can apply.

The establishment of security architecture is essential because security vulnerabilities occur such as user's unjustifiable connection for the opened gateway and access to resources without permission in OSGi service platform environment. In this paper, it proposes a authentication technique for an Automatic user authentication which is used the Symmetric Key and the Service bundle authentication to consider the constraints of the hardware in the OSGi service platform environment. Typically, the type of entering a password is used for the user authentication mechanism however OSGi platform environment studies not entering the password but using MAC address and encrypted identifier of the automatic user authentication mechanism because the devices are limited in their input. In this paper, the Symmetric Key is used for bundle authentication mechanism. Therefore operation becomes quick and secure authentication process has been successfully completed by using the time data and a ticket which contains a license. Based on these two different authentication mechanisms, it could eliminate the constraints of resources and improve the convenience of users and administrators. Also it shows an effect from omitting the waiting time to enter a password and reducing operations which need for authentication in the OSGi service platform environment.

We implemented an application system which is able to verify visitor identification for remote bundle control based on OSGi and web camera control using embedded linux system. This system are designed open Oscar framework by porting java on the embedded linux system and implemented web camera system in local area networks. Also This system can verify information of visitor from receiving the data of RFID reader and designed the wireless internet system in home. Basically, in this paper we expect that home network system development and the period of application service development are reduced with integrated service provision based on OSGi.

In home network environments, the user authentication and authorization associated user's information and usability may be important security issue. The OSGi service platform, a well-known home network gateway already specifies the mechanism of that. The traditional authority method provided OSGi implements simple RBAC(Role Based Access Control) model. This is difficult to support efficient access control. In this paper, we propose the dynamic RBAC model based on OSGi. The proposed method describes the extended framework that manage two roles named as absolute role and relative role, extend existed framework with relative role and propose programming model to enable dynamic access control. Finally, we implement the proposed framework using AspectJ and Java annotation.
