본 논문에서는 국내 모바일 간편 결제 서비스 카카오페이(KakaoPay)의 보안취약점을 분석한다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 모바일 간편 결제 서비스 키패드의 터치 좌표값을 추출하는 키로거 앱(key logger application)을 개발하였다. 키로거 앱을 이용해 사용자가 카카오페이 서비스의 비밀번호를 누를 때 비밀번호가 출력되는 화면 좌표값을 알아내고, 확률분석기법을 통해 추출한 화면 좌표값으로 결제용 비밀번호를 유추해냄으로써, 카카오페이 서비스의 보안 취약점을 도출하였다.

Since one of weak points of public crypto-systems is to require the verification of public key, identity based crypto-systems were proposed as an alternative. However, such techniques need a private key generator which can be a single point of failure. To improve such weakness, threshold identity-based crypto-systems were proposed. In this paper, we propose a new threshold identity-based encryption scheme which is constructed to extend an identity-based encryption scheme by Cocks. Since the proposed scheme is based on quadratic residues, it has smaller complexity of encryption. And we prove that the proposed scheme is secure against a chosen identity attack.

Recently competitive Korean companies are suffered from financial loss due to illegal exposure of their own proprietary know-how secrets, since it is difficult to watch hidden illegal channels to leak them due to their digitalization. Today the DRM-based system designed to protect such secrets is insufficient to prevent it, since DRM-based protection system cannot defend the intelligent robbery of secrets, in special, employee's robbery. The MSEC is much appropriate to secure secrets against employee's robbery. Our paper notes that IGMP, MSEC and SNMP can work easily together to realize secure system that satisfy strong security condition for prevention from leaking secrets. Since the previous research was on the architectural design for prevention of illegal exposure, this paper proposes the efficient protocol based on MSEC protocol. Our protocol satisfies the strong security conditions that the principles that the secret should be stored/distributed only in an encrypted shape, and should be separated physically from its encryption key, and should be carried in registered mobile storage separate from its processing device, and should be verified in terms of both user and device. Thus this paper proposes both the protocol for secret document distribution and its group key management.

암호화 기술의 확장성과 비도 측면에서 우수한 공개키 기반 하부구조(Public Key Infrastructure)는 공개키를 보증하는 기반 기술과 인증서의 안전한 사용 기술로 구성되어있으며, 전자상거래의 기본 기술중 하나이다. 이러한 기본 기술 중에는 키 복구(Key Recovery) 및 비밀 분산(Secret Sharing) 기술등이 포함되며, 인증기관(Certificate Authority： CA)을 통한 키 관리 효율성 및 인중 기관과 사용자 간 안전한 정보 교환 기술이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 인터넷 기반의 전자 상거래 시 사용되는 공개키 기반 하부구조에 대하여 검토 분석한다.

정보보호를 위한 공개키 기반 구조의 구축은 사용자들에게 많은 미정을 줄 수 있다. 그러나 암호 키의 분실이나 불법적인 사용 등의 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 기술로서 공개키 기반 구조와 연동 가능한 키 복구 기술이 있으며, 현재 많은 연구가 진행중에 있다. 기존에 제안되어 있는 방식은 인증기관에게 저장공간을 요구하거나, 인증기관과 위탁기관간의 통신량이 증가하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 지적하고 이를 해결하는 변형된 SE-PKI 키 복구 시스템을 제안한다.

Key exchange protocols are essential for building a secure communication channel over an insecure open network. In particular, password-based key exchange protocols are designed to work when user authentication is done via the use of passwords. But, passwords are easy for human beings to remember, but are low entropy and thus are subject to dictionary attacks. Recently, Zhao and Gu proposed a new server-aided protocol for password-based key exchange. Zhao and Gu's protocol was claimed to be provably secure in a formal adversarial model which captures the notion of leakage of ephemeral secret keys. In this paper, we mount a replay attack on Zhao and Gu's protocol and thereby show that unlike the claim of provable security, the protocol is not secure against leakage of ephemeral secret keys. Our result implies that Zhao and Gu's proof of security for the protocol is invalid.

The existing certificate based authentication or identification just verifies whether the owner of private key corresponding to public key of certificate is the DN user set in the user field in the certificate or not, then we cannot find out who is the actual private key owner in a real world. To make up for this weak points, the method to insert the identification number like the resident registration number into the certificate extension field is applied as a technical standard to current domestic PKI system. In this paper, we propose the ECC based integrated identification, identification number checking and key management protocol providing user validation during the login.

Now a days, U-healthcare comes into the spotlight as a new business model which combines RFID technology with medical service in the well-being era and IT popularization. U-healthcare service needs a method that can deals with hand-writing, overlap data, forgery and falsification of data, difference between information version that happen in medical process because of graft between RFID technology and u-healthcare. This paper proposes RFID based user certification protocol to protect user's privacy who gets medical service through U-healthcare. In the protocol, secret information of patient does the XOR with the secret key that is created in the hospital to reconsider the stability of security system of U-healthcare and user's data forgery and falsification and privacy and then saves it in the secret key field of patient in DB table. Also, it informs the case of illegal access to certification server and make it approved the access of u-healthcare service by differentiating whether u-healthcare is illegal or not.

This paper introduces a new method for storing a private key. This method can be achieved by dividing the private key into "n" pieces by a (k, n) secret sharing method, and then storing each piece into photo files utilizing a steganography method. In this way, a user can restore a private key as long as he can remember the locations of "k" photos among the entire photo files. Attackers, meanwhile, will find it extremely difficult to extract the private key if a user has hidden the pieces of the private key into numerous photo files stored in the system. It also provides a high degree of user convenience, as the user can restore the private key from his memory of k positions among n photo files. Coupled with this, a certain level of security can be guaranteed because the attacker cannot restore a private key, even if he knows k-1 photo file locations.
