This paper proposes a fingerprint verification system on a fuzzy vault with steganography for a smartphone. While biometric-based authentication can provide strong security, the biometric data must be handled carefully as it cannot be re-enrolled when it is revealed to other people. When the transformed data is used for authentication, the original biometric data can be protected. In this paper, we combine a fingerprint verification system with a fuzzy vault scheme to protect the fingerprint data of a smartphone user. In addition, the transformed data using a fuzzy vault scheme increases the security as it is concealed by the steganography scheme. The result of the experiment using fingerprint databases shows that the proposed scheme provides a high level of convenience and security for authentication of a smartphone having with a fingerprint sensor.

Current PKI system will confront more dangerous elements in the wireless network. Accordingly, this study suggests a plan to strengthen authentication system plan with using access control and encryption to the location. Locational information collecting devices such as GPS and sensor are utilized to create a new key for authentication and collect locational information. Such a key encodes data and creates an authentication code for are access control. By using the method suggested by this study, it is possible to control access of a military secret from unauthorized place and to protect unauthorized user with unproposed technique. In addition, this technique enables access control by stage with utilizing the existing PKI system more wisely.

In many sensor network applications, sensor nodes are deployed in open environments, and hence are vulnerable to physical attacks, potentially compromising the node's cryptographic keys. False sensing report can be injected through compromised nodes, which can lead to not only false alarms but also the depletion of limited energy resource in battery powered networks. Fan Ye et al. proposed that statistical en-route filtering scheme(SEF) can do verify the false report during the forwarding process. In this scheme, the choice of a partition value represents a trade off between resilience and energy where the partition value is the total number of partitions which global key pool is divided. If every partition are compromised by an adversary, SEF disables the filtering capability. Also, when an adversary has compromised a very small portion of keys in every partition, the remaining uncompromised keys which take a large portion of the total cannot be used to filter false reports. We propose a fuzzy-based adaptive partitioning method in which a global key pool is adaptively divided into multiple partitions by a fuzzy rule-based system. The fuzzy logic determines a partition value by considering the number of compromised partitions, the energy and density of all nodes. The fuzzy based partition value can conserve energy, while it provides sufficient resilience.

The measurement of icing conditions needs to be carried out accurately by the ice detector system of an aircraft. Ice detector systems should be installed in locations not affected by backwash, rotor downwash or moving doors or other equipment. Various analyses were carried out in order to find the proper locations sufficiently far from these interfering effects. In this study, the optimum position of the ice detector was assessed using computer simulation, with respect to different flight modes, flow velocities and the amount and distribution of liquid water around the sensor.

In multimedia service of Ubiquitous Home Environment(UHE), the requirements such as intelligent service that is executed automatically without direct order of user and fitted service compatible for each user and comfortable of user, interoperability of multimedia contents between incompatible devices will increase. Multimedia protection and management, authentication and authority administration methods that are suitable for above demands are also required. In this paper, we suggest authentication method suited for UHE and propose user oriented multimedia service(UHMS: Ubiquitous Home Multimedia Service) that provides the interoperability of multimedia between incompatible devices, conducts intelligently the context information (preference information, device information etc.) using sensor module and home server, provides and secure services.

Earlier researches on Sensor Networks preferred symmetric key-based authentication schemes in consideration of limitations in network resources. However, recent advancements in cryptographic algorithms and sensor-node manufacturing techniques have opened suggestion to public key-based solutions such as Merkle tree-based schemes. These previous schemes, however, must perform the authentication process one-by-one in hierarchical manner and thus are not fit to be used as primary authentication methods in sensor networks which require mass of multiple authentications at any given time. This paper proposes a new concept of public key-based authentication that can be effectively applied to sensor networks. This scheme is based on exponential distributed data concept, a derivative from Shamir's (t, n) threshold scheme, in which the authentication of neighbouring nodes are done simultaneously while minimising resources of sensor nodes and providing network scalability. The performance advantages of this scheme on memory usage, communication overload and scalability compared to Merkle tree-based authentication are clearly demonstrated using performance analysis.

As the use of the sensor device increases in IoT environment, the need for device security is becoming more and more important When a sensor device is deployed in IEEE 802.15.4-based LoWPAN, it has to perform the join operation with PAN Coordinator and the binding operation with another device. In the join and binding process, authentication and key distribution of the device are performed using the pre-distributed network key or certificate. However, the network key used in the conventional method has problems that it's role is limited to the group authentication and individual identification is not applied in certificate issuing. In this paper, we propose a secure join and binding protocol in LoWPAN environment that solves the problems of pre-distributed network key.
