새로운 금융 서비스의 등장은 사용자의 부주의에 따라 악의적인 공격자에게 소중한 개인정보가 노출 될 수 있는 위험성을 가지고 있다. 현재의 금융어플리케이션의 보안은 눈에 보이지 않는 여러 암호 기술을 통해 통신상의 안전한 보안 매커니즘을 구축하였으나 사회공학적인 공격기법에 취약한 면을 가지고 있다. 특히 현재 금융어플리케이션의 키패드는 오타방지를 위해서 입력하는 끝 글자를 보여주고 있으나 이 점은 공공장소에서 사용 시 외부자의 훔쳐보기로 인해 노출 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 기존의 가상 키패드 입력 방법에서 마지막 글자를 보여주는 대신 각 키가 색을 가지고 끝 글자는 키의 색 정보로 대치하였다. 이로써 공격자가 입력란만을 보면 끝 글자를 통해 전체적인 비밀번호를 유출할 수 있는 수단이 사라져 기존의 훔쳐보는 공격으로부터 안전하다. 해당 기법을 실제 안드로이드로 구현 했을 시 기존의 기법에 비해 68% 향상된 보안성을 제공하면서도 기존의 기법과 유사한 정확도와 신속성을 지닌다. 이는 기존의 스마트폰 상에서의 보안 키패드를 안전하게 대체할 수 있는 기술로서 그 효용성이 높다고 할 수 있다.

In cloud storages, as security of stored files and privacy of users become regarded as important concerns, secure cloud storages have been proposed, where stored files are encrypted with file owner's password and even the cloud service provider can not open the file contents. However, if the file owner forgets one's password, one can no longer access the file. To solve this problem, we propose a scheme for changing password for the secure cloud based on proxy re-encryption, which make the file owner enable to change password even when one forgets it. With the proposed scheme, only the file owner can change the password and re-encrypt the files securely because other user and even the service provider can not see the file contents.

Shieh and Wang [10] recently proposed an efficient mutual authentication scheme that combined the cost-effectiveness of operations of Lee et al. [6]. scheme and the security and key agreement of Chen and Yeh scheme. Shieh and Wang [10] scheme, however, does not satisfy the security requirements against a third party (the man-in the middle, attacker) that have to be considered in remote user authentication scheme using password-based smart cards. Shieh and Wang weaknesses are the inappropriateness that it cannot verify the forged message in 3-way handshaking mutual authentication, and the vulnerability that the system (server) secret key can easily be exposed. This paper investigates the problems of Shieh and Wang scheme in the verification procedure of the forged messages intercepted by the eavesdrop. An enhanced two-way remote user authentication scheme is proposed that is safe and strong against multiple attacks by adding the ability to perform integrity check on the server and proposed scheme is not expose user password information and the system's confidential information.

Password, a traditional user confirmation method that is used for more than 100 years, has become useless as a lot of transactions are dealt by indirect contacts. As a result, an alternative for password is required now. In this paper, we propose a novel confirmation method, which is called Brain-Key. It uses an indirect password input method. It reduces the risks due to hacking, and prevents a big credit accident because it prevents passwords to be reused. Our proposed model has general applicability so that it can be applied in domestic market as well as international markets. This research may provide solutions for the security problems in the electronic commerce.

There are cases that revoke the certification because of disclosure of private key, deprivation of qualification and the expiration of a term of validity on PKI. So, a user has to confirm the public key whether valid or invalid in the certification. There are many methods such as CRL, Delta-CRL, OCSP for the cert-validation of certification. But these methods have many problems, which cause overload traffic on network and the CRL server because of realtime processing for cert-validation of certification. In this paper we proposed cert-validation of certification improvement method based on FM Subcarrier Broadcasting, which solved problems that are data integrity by different time between transmission and receiving for CRL, and overload traffic on network and the CRL server the realtime management.

As user of mobile device increases, various user authentication methods are actively researched. The user authentication methods includes a method of using a user ID and a password, a method of using user biometric feature, a method of using location based, and a method of authenticating secondary authentication such as OTP(One Time Password) method is used. In this paper, we propose a user system which improves the problem of existing authentication method and encryption can proceed in a way that user desires. The proposed authentication system is composed of an authentication factor collection module that collects authentication factors using a mobile device, a security key generation module that generates a security key by combining the collected authentication factors, and a module that performs authentication using the generated security key module.

This paper proposes the EAP-AKA scheme without UICC for extending its usage to existing WLAN/WiBro devices. To apply the current EAP-AKA scheme, the WLAN/WiBro devices require an external Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) reader. If they don't use UICC due to cost overhead and architectural problem of device, the EAP-AKA scheme loses its own advantages in security and portability aspects. The proposed scheme uses the DH key algorithm and a password for non-UICC devices instead of using the long-term key stored in UICC. The main contribution is to maintain the security and portability of the EAP-AKA while being applied to non-3GPP network devices not equipped with UICC. Furthermore, it does not require major modifications of authentication architecture in 3GPP.

네트워크에 대한 접근 용이성이 높아짐에 따라 사용자는 자신의 클라이언트 터미널 이외의 터미널로부터 네트워크에 접속하고자 하며, 이러한 로밍 유저(Roaming User)는 패스워드-기반의 인증 프로토콜을 통하여 원격의 서버로부터 비밀키와 같은 자신의 비밀정보를 다운로드 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 그 동안 제시되어온 로밍 프로토콜들［7,8,9］을 간략하게 살펴봄으로써, 프로토콜의 구성 방법 그리고 사전 공격 등의 패스워드-기반 프로토콜에 대한 일반적인 공격으로부터 안전하기 위하여 어떠한 암호학적 기법들을 사용하였는지 이해하고자 한다. 그리고, 이러한 프로토콜들의 암호학적 특징들에 대한 차이점을 비교 분석한다.

In this paper, an approach of temporal certification system that can be easily added on current character-based certification system is newly introduced. This technique enhances the security of the password certification process by exploiting temporal information for each character's stroke timing, and using them as another feature of certification information, on top of character comparison process. There are three different temporal conditions: maximum, minimum and no-option. The maximum condition along with a time number (usually 0.2 second or less) means that the next key input should be punched within the time limit, while the minimum condition means the next key stroke should be typed after the time lapse specified. With no-option condition chosen, user can punch the password without any timing constraints. Prototype was developed and tested with four number password case. In comparison with 104 cases, this new approach increases the cases more than 10 digits, enhancing the security of the certification process. One big advantage of this new approach is that user can update his/her password only with different timing constraints, still keeping the same characters, that will enhance the security system management efficiency in a very simple way. Figures and pictures along with process flow are included for the validity of the idea.
