Recently, the smart sensor technologies are rapidly developing in accordance with the technology of implementation in small-size, low-cost, and low power consumption. With these sensor technologies, especially with MEMS and NEMS, the researches on the WSN are actively performing. For the WSN, a network security function is essential even it requires high physical resource level. But the WSN with the smart sensor technologies could not be provided with enough resources for the function because of limited size, computing-power, low-power, and etc. In this paper, we introduce security and key-management protocols of WSN.

현재 스마트폰의 급격한 대중화가 이루어짐에 따라, 터치스크린에서 한글을 효율적으로 입력하는 방법의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 많은 터치스크린 한글 키패드가 만들어졌음에도 불구하고, 사용자가 습득하는데 시간이 오래 걸리며 오타가 빈번하게 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한글 키패드의 표준인 '천지인'의 장점인 사용자 습득율을 최대화하고, 단점인 자음의 멀티탭(반복누름)방식으로 인한 오타발생 빈도율을 스마트폰의 터치 슬라이드방식을 이용하여 최소화한 SC-Keyboard를 제안하고자 한다.

Current certification system use serial key for protect copyright of software and digital contents. But It is not efficient system, because It is not protect copyright through create virtual key or use public key. So we research on various cryptology for prevent illegal copy of serial key, but It is not enough protection of copyright that use software technology only. In this paper, we propose certification system using smart card for protect copyright of software and digital contents.

With the rapid development of information and communication technology, online dissemination increases rapidly. So, It becomes more important to protect information. Recently the authentication system using public key infrastructure (PKI) is being utilized as an information protection infrastructure for electronic business transactions. And the smartcard system makes the most use of such an infrastructure. But because the certification based on the current PKI provides oかy basic user certification information, the use has to be limited in various application services that need the identification and authorization information as well as face-to-face information of the user. In order to protect a system from various kinds backings and related treats, we have proposed angular and private key multiplexing for prevention of smartcard forgery and alteration based on a photopolymer cryptosystem. When smartcard becomes prone to forgery and alteration, we should be able to verify it. Also, our parer proposes a new authentication system using multi authentication based on PKI. The smartcard has an excellent advantage in security and moving.

Smart Grid is the next-generation intelligent power grid that maximizes energy efficiency with the convergence of IT technologies and the existing power grid. It enables consumers to check power rates in real time for active power consumption. It also enables suppliers to measure their expected power generation load, which stabilizes the operation of the power system. However, there are high possibility that various kinds of security threats such as data exposure, data theft, and privacy invasion may occur in interactive communication with intelligent devices. Therefore, to establish a secure environment for responding to such security threat with the smart grid, the key management technique, which is the core of the development of a security mechanism, is required. Using a hash chain, this paper suggests a group key management mechanism that is efficiently applicable to the smart grid environment with its hierarchical structure, and analyzes the security and efficiency of the suggested group key management mechanism.

The paper describes implementation of smartphone edition based on embedded Linux, which is composed of smartphone middleware and basic applications. Existing smartphone platforms entails loyalty expenses and has difficulties on customization due to the closed policy of their source codes. Although GPE - based on embedded Linux has solved the loyalty issues, other problems are remained unsolved. Since GPE has been designed for relatively large PDA-level devices, applications are generally inoperable under the condition of small LCD size and input methods without touch-screen; the condition is typical limitations of the smartphones. In the implemented smartphone edition of the paper no loyalty is required, because the smartphone edition is based on embedded Linux. It also supports keypad-only operating functionality such as moving between folders or running applications with operations. Besides, it provides more user-friendly environment to use the smartphone editionscreen interfaces and indicatorsto those of the regular cellular phones.

The smart grid system has emerged to maximize energy efficiency through real-time information exchange between power providers and consumers by combining information technology and power supply systems. The authentication schemes using blockchain in a smart grid system have been proposed, which utilize an edge server's architecture to collect and store electric power-related information and process data between a central cloud server and smart grid-IoT devices. Although authentication schemes are being proposed to enhance security in the smart grid environment, many vulnerabilities are still reported. This paper presents a new mutual authentication scheme to guarantee users' privacy and anonymity in a smart grid based on edge computing using blockchain. In the proposed scheme, we use the smart contract for the key management's efficiency, such as updating and discarding key materials. Finally, we prove that the proposed scheme not only securely establishes a session key between the smart grid-IoT device of the user and the edge server but also guarantees anonymity.

Ubiquitous computing technology is widely used in not only our everyday lives but also in education, medical care, military, environment and administration. RFID system, the basis of ubiquitous, is in the spotlight which can be an alternative solution of a bar code recognition system and magnetic system as they basically have practicality and security issues. An electronic authentication named smart-key system is recently concerned by an alternative solution of the security unit for an automobile. RFID system which has a general purpose is also in the limelight by an application technology. In this paper we designed vehicle smart key system with general-propose RFID system that is already in use. First, we designed control unit and RFID card reader for vehicle smart key system. Then we propose an algorithm and prove that the vehicle key system is controllable by showing the result of implementing and testing, after installing. Also security level is enlarged by proposing a authentication protocol between RFID reader and control unit.

User-authentication process is necessary in Fintech Service. Especially, authentication on smartphones are carried out through PIN which is inputted through virtual keypads on touch screen. Attacker can analogize password by watching touched letter and position over the shoulder or using high definition cameras. To prevent password spill, various research of virtual keypad techniques are ongoing. It is hard to design secure keypad which assures safety by fluctuative keypad and enhance convenience at once. Also, to reconfirm user whether password is wrongly pressed, the inputted information is shown on screen. This makes the password easily exposed through high definition cameras or Google Class during recording. This research analyzed QWERTY based secure keypad's merits and demerits. And through these features, creating Tetris shaped keypad and piece them together on Android environment, and showing inputted words as Tetris shape to users through smart-screen is suggested for the ways to prevent password spill by recording.

대부분의 암호이론은 공개되어 있기 때문에 정보보안 기술의 안전성은 암호 알고리즘과 키 길이에 의존성이 크다. 본 논문에서는 해쉬함수와 카오스 함수를 이용하여 암·복호화를 위한 권장 키 길이보다 작은 길이의 일회성을 갖는 공개키와 비밀키를 생성하여 공개키 암호 알고리즘의 대표격인 RSA 암호방식에 적용하여 본다. 소인수 분해 알고리즘의 개선·발전과 시스템의 처리속도 증가에서 오는 키길이 증가 문제를 해결하므로 스마트 카드와 같은 제한된 메모리에서 실용적으로 사용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 암·복호화를 수행하는 처리 시간을 단축 시킬 수 있으며, 키 관리면에서도 여러개의 공개키/비？키를 사용하는 경우보다 실용적이다.
