무선 통신에서는 무선 통신의 브로드캐스트한 특성으로 데이터의 기밀성 유지를 위한 암호화가 매우 중요하다. 특히 무선 센서 네트워크(WSN - Wireless Sensor Network)의 경우 일반적인 PC와는 다르게 다양한 환경에 위치할 수 있어 공격자에게 더 쉽게 노출 될 수 있는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이런 환경에서 미리 저장된 해쉬 함수나 비밀 값에 의존한 키 분배를 할 경우 저장된 값이 노출될 경우 심각한 문제를 초래하게 된다. 그리고 D-H 키 분배 알고리즘의 경우 키 값을 안전하게 도출을 할 수 있지만 키를 도출한 대상에 대한 인증의 부재와 멀티 홉 환경에서 중간자 공격에 취약한 문제점을 드러내고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제를 해결하기위해 기존 연구를 응용하여 멀티 홉 환경에서 무선 통신의 특성을 이용한 비밀값 공유와 제 3의 노드를 이용한 간단한 인증이 가능한 기법을 제안한다.

센서 네트워크는 구성의 편리성과 이동성, 확장성이 뛰어난 장점을 가지고 있어서 침입 탐지나 원격감시 등 여러 분야에서 응용이 가능한 네트워크로 앞으로 계속 발전해야할 과제가 남아 있다. 즉, 센서 네트워크 환경에서는 보안성을 위해 센서 노드들은 키를 공유해야 하는데, 기존에 제안된 키 분배기법은 키가 너무 많이 필요하거나, 비 효율적인 문제가 있고 노드간 연결이 안되서 도태 되는 노드가 생기는 등 취약한 점이 많다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 안전한 키 분배를 위한 방법중에 쿼럼 시스템을 응용한 다중선택그리드 쿼럼방식을 사용해 센서 노드들 사이의 인증을 강화시켜 외부의 공격 노드들로부터 안전하고 노드간 연결성이 보장되는 방법을 제시하고 있다.

최근 화학물질 안전사고가 잇따라 발생하면서 사업장 내 안전제품을 구비하고 안전한 작업환경을 조성하려는 움직임이 확산되고 있다. (주)유민에쓰티(대표 유흥근)는 이러한 화학물질 안전사고를 예방하기 위해 불산, 염소 등의 화학약품 유출을 감지하는 센서장치를 생산하는 곳이다. 이곳은 누수감지센서를 비롯해 스팀검출센서, 옥외용 강산 검출센서, 유기성액체 검출센서 등을 개발하면서 산업안전제품시장에서 무서운 신장세를 드러내고 있다. 특히 지난 2008년에는 인쇄전자 기반의 필름형 누수감지센서를 세계 최초로 개발해 국무총리상을 수상하면서 우수한 기술력을 자랑하기도 했다. 또한 국내외 약 50여 건에 이르는 특허 획득을 통해 품질을 인증받았으며, 미국전기전자공학회(IEEE)에 소개되는 등 해외에서도 기술력을 인정받고 있다. 이처럼 (주)유민에쓰티는 끊임없는 기술 개발로 안전한 작업현장을 조성하는 데 이바지하고 있다. 하지만 유민에스티의 모든 관계자들은 사업장 내 안전이 먼저 확보됐었기에 이 같은 성장이 가능했다고 입을 모아 말한다. 제조업 특성상 안전사고 발생률이 높은데도 불구하고 2003년 설립된 이후 단 한 건의 안전사고와 산재가 발생하지 않았을 만큼 철저한 안전관리를 전개하고 있는 것이다. 안전을 바탕으로 눈부신 성장을 하고 있는 (주)유민에쓰티를 찾아가봤다.

This paper presents a user authentication scheme for healthcare application using wireless sensor networks, where wireless sensors are used for patients monitoring. These medical sensors' sense the patient body data and transmit it to the professionals. Since, the data of an individual are highly vulnerable; it must ensures that patients medical vital signs are secure, and are not exposed to an unauthorized person. In this regards, we propose a user authentication scheme for healthcare application using medical sensor networks. The proposed scheme includes: a novel two-factor user authentication, where the healthcare professionals are authenticated before access the patient's body data; a secure session key is establish between the patient sensor node and the professional at the end of user authentication. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the proposed scheme is safeguard to various practical attacks and achieves efficiency at low computation cost.

Biometric-based authentication can provide strong security guarantee about the identity of users. However, security of biometric data is particularly important as the compromise of the data will be permanent. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient protocol to transmit fingerprint images from a fingerprint sensor to a client by exploiting characteristics of fingerprint images. Because the fingerprint sensor is computationally limited, however, such encryption algorithm may not be applied to the full fingerprint images in real-time. To reduce the computational workload on the resource-constrained sensor, we apply the encryption algorithm to a specific bitplane of each pixel of the fingerprint image. We use the LSB as specific bitplane instead of MSB used to encrypt general multimedia contents because simple attacks can reveal the fingerprint ridge information even from the MSB-based encryption. Based on the experimental results, our proposed algorithm can reduce the execution time of the full encryption by a factor of six and guarantee both the integrity and the confidentiality without any leakage of the ridge information.

In this paper, we proposed a scheme that it safely exchanges encrypted keys without Trust Third Party (TTP) and Pre-distributing keys in multi-hop clustering sensor networks. Existing research assume that it exists a TTP or already it was pre-distributed a encrypted key between nodes. However, existing methods are not sufficient for USN environment without infrastructure. Some existing studies using a random number Diffie-Hellman algorithm to solve the problem. but the method was vulnerable to Replay and Man-in-the-middle attack from the malicious nodes. Therefore, authentication problem between nodes is solved by adding a ��TESLA. In this paper, we propose a modified Diffie-Hellman algorithm that it is safe, lightweight, and robust pair-wise agreement algorithm by adding One Time Password (OTP) with timestamp. Lastly, authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-impersonation, backward secrecy, and forward secrecy to verify that it is safe.

The security of the data exchanged between sensor nodes in IoT (Internet of Things) environment becomes increasing. In the conventional IEEE 802.15.4, the key for secure communication between the sensor node and the sensor node and the PAN Coordinator or the sensor node is assumed to be pre-shared in advance. Especially, there is another problem in that sensor node authentication is not considered during the association process. In this paper, we propose a security scheme that solves the problems of previously proposed protocols with the pre-shared key for all devices.

There have been previous researches about user authentication by analyzing the user's gait or behavior or action using the accelerometer sensor of smartphone, but there was a lack of user convenience to apply PIN entry. In this paper, we propose the technique for PIN entry without a touch on smartphone, the technique uses an accelerometer sensor and a vibration sensor built in the smartphone to enter the PIN. We conducted a usability experiment using the proposed technique and confirmed that the usability can be increased according to users become accustomed to this technique and that the users can enter PIN with 12.9 seconds and a probability of 100% on average. Also we conducted a security experiment and confirmed that an attack success rate is 0% when an attacker attacked the user using the recording attack and that it is more secure than the previous PIN entry technique. As a result, we was able to confirm that this technique can be used sufficiently.
