VoIP is a service that changes the analogue audio signal into a digital signal and then transfers the audio information to the users after configuring it as a packet; and it has an advantage of lower price than the existing voice call service and better extensibility. However, VoIP service has a system structure that, compared to the existing PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), has poor call quality and is vulnerable in the security aspect. To make up these problems, TLS service was introduced to enhance the security. In practical system, however, since QoS problem occurs, it is necessary to develop the VoIP security system that can satisfy QoS at the same time in the security aspect. In this paper, a user authentication VoIP system that can provide a service according to the security and the user through providing a differential service according to the approach of the users by adding AA server at the step of configuring the existing VoIP session is suggested. It was found that the proposed system of this study provides a quicker QoS than the TLS-added system at a similar level of security. Also, it is able to provide a variety of additional services by the different users.

Virtual Private Network is a method which can use as a private network using private line. The quality of security of virtual private network is influenced by security auditability, cryptographic support, user data protection, access control, etc., and efficiency is influenced by throughput, latency, the number of cession, etc. In this paper, we constructed a evaluation model based on CC(ISO/IEC 15408) and the quality evaluation standard ISO/IEC 25000 series to evaluate the quality level about efficiency with security performance of virtual private network. We think that this study will contribute to construct the system which can evaluate the quality of virtual private network based on CC and ISO quality evaluation standard.

In a biometric authentication scheme, a user's biometric data that is unique to the user is used to prove the user's identity to the third party. Since the user should have to participate in every authentication sessions, it's not possible to delegate other users to authenticate instead of himself/herself. In a biometric signature scheme, contrary to authentication scheme, a user's biometric data is used to prove that "this message is signed by the signer who claims to be" to the third party. However, once the biometric key is created, it can be accessed by the signer. Thus, it's possible to lend the biometric key to other users. In this study, the server based biometric realtime signature scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme can be applied to sign the vote in electronic voting or to authenticate the copyright owner in DRM enabled mobile commerce where the proxy signatures are not allowed.

In 2012, Woosik Bae proposed a DAP3-RS(Design of Authentication Protocol for Privacy Protection in RFID Systems) using the hash function and AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm to hide Tag's identification and to generates variable data in every session. He argued that the DAP3-RS is safe from spoofing attack, replay attack, traffic analysis and etc. Also, the DAP3-RS resolved problem by fixed metaID of Hash-Lock protocol using AES algorithm. However, unlike his argue, attacker can pass authentication and traffic analysis using by same data and fixed hash value on the wireless. We proposed authentication protocol based on AES algorithm. Also, our protocol is secure and efficient in comparison with the DAP3-RS.

As the IoT environment becomes more popular, the safety of the M2M environment, which establishes the communication environment between objects and objects without human intervention, becomes important. Due to the nature of the wireless communication environment, there is a possibility of exposure to security threats in various aspects such as data exposure, falsification, tampering, deletion and privacy, and secure communication security technology is considered as an important requirement. In this paper, we propose a new method for group key generation and exchange using trap hash collision hash in existing 'M2M communication environment' using hash collision, And a mechanism for confirming the authentication of the device and the gateway after the group key is generated. The proposed method has attack resistance such as spoofing attack, meson attack, and retransmission attack in the group communication section by using the specificity of the collision message and collision hash, and is a technique for proving safety against vulnerability of hash collision.

Recently, in the field of next-generation e-commerce and finance, interest in blockchain-based technologies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum is great. Although the security of blockchain technology is known to be secure, hacking incidents / accidents related to cryptocurrencies are being issued. The main causes were vulnerabilities in the external environment, such as taking over login sessions on cryptocurrency wallets, exposing private keys due to malware infection, and using simple passwords. However, private key management recommends general methods such as utilizing a dedicated application or local backup and physical archiving through document printing. In this paper, we propose a white box password-based private key protection scheme. As a result of safety and performance analysis, we strengthened the security against vulnerability of private key exposure and proved the processing efficiency of existing protocol.

Car-sharing services have been settled on as a new type of public transportation owing to their enhanced convenience, expanded awareness of practical consumption patterns, the inspiration for environmental conscientiousness, and the diffusion of smart phones following the economic crisis. With development of the market, many people have started using such services. However, security is still an issue. Damage is expected since IDs and passwords are required for log-in when renting and controlling the vehicles. The protocol suggested in this study uses bio-information, providing an optimized service, and convenient (but strong) authentication with various service-provider clouds registering car big data about users through brokers. If using the techniques suggested here, it is feasible to reduce the exposure of the bio-information, and to receive service from multiple service-provider clouds through one particular broker. In addition, the proposed protocol reduces public key operations and session key storage by 20% on mobile devices, compared to existing car-sharing platforms, and because it provides convenient, but strong, authentication (and therefore constitutes a secure channel), it is possible to proceed with secure communications. It is anticipated that the techniques suggested in this study will enhance secure communications and user convenience in the future car-sharing-service cloud environment.

In school PC labs or other educational purpose PC labs with a few dozens of PCs, computers are configured in a distributed architecture so that they are set up, maintained and upgraded separately. As an alternative to the distributed architecture, we can consider a thin-client computing environment. In a thin-client computing environment, client side devices provide mainly I/O functions with user friendly GUI and multimedia processing support whereas remote servers called terminal server provide computing power. In order to support many clients in the environment, a cluster of terminal servers can be configured. In this architecture, it is difficult due to the characteristics of terminal session persistence and different pattern of computing usage of users so that the utilization of terminal server resources becomes low. To overcome this disadvantage, we propose an adaptive terminal cluster where terminal servers ,ire partitioned into groups and a terminal server in a light-loaded group can be dynamically reassigned to a heavy-loaded group at run time. The proposed adaptive scheme is compared with a generic terminal service cluster and a group based non-adaptive terminal server cluster. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Mobile Virtual Private Network (MVPN) provides VPN services without geographical restriction to mobile workers using mobile devices. Coexistence of Mobile IP (MIP) protocol for mobility and IPsec-based VPN technology are necessary in order to provide continuous VPN service to mobile users. However, Problems like registration failure or frequent IPsec tunnel re-negotiation occur when IPsec-based VPN Gateway (GW) and MIP are used together. In order to solve these problems, IETF proposes a mechanism which uses external home agent (x-HA) located external to the corporate VPN GW. In addition, based on the IETF proposal, a mechanism that assigns x-HA dynamically in the networks where MN is currently located was also proposed with the purpose to reduce handover latency as well as end-to-end delay. However, this mechanism has problems such as exposure of a session key for dynamic Mobility Security Association (MSA) or a long latency in case of the handover between different networks. In this paper, we propose a new MVPN protocol in order to minimize handover latency, enhance the security in key exchange, and to reduce data losses cause by handover. Through a course of simulation, the performance of proposed protocol is compared with the existing mechanism.

A multicast tree includes several, possibly a large number of, paths connecting source-receiver pairs, and network failure may disable part of the multicast tree. Reconstruction of the entire multicast tree to recover from a component failure is highly undesirable, because some group members have to suffer service disruptions even though the communication paths to/from them are not affected by the failure. To limit reconfiguration region and to maximize the likelihood of successful reconfiguration, we propose and evaluate a pre-planned reconfiguration policy for QoS multicast sessions. Specifically, we equip a reconfiguration path (RP) with each end-to-end path that connects a source-receiver pair in the multicast tree, and reserve resources in advance along the RPs. Efficient resource-sharing techniques are applied to reduce the amount of resources reserved for RPs but not used in the absence of failures. This way, we prevent uncontrolled competition among different multicast sessions which may simultaneously try to recover from failures. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme using simulation on randomly-generated networks. We use the shortest-path routing for QoS multicast sessions, and simulate both source-based and shared multicast trees. The evaluation results indicates that successful pre-planned reconfiguration can be achieved for all group members with reasonable overhead. Our scheme is also shown to adapt well to dynamic changes of group membership.
