With the recent increase in interest in metaverse in which virtual and physical spaces are digitally fused, many activities in physical spaces are expected to take place in web-based virtual spaces. Therefore, there is a need for research on a self-sovereign identity system that can secure privacy and mutual trust in a DID(decentralized identifier)-based virtual space environment. We, in this paper, developed and validated a reliable communication method consisting of DIDComm messages, a procedure for generating distributed identifiers, asymmetric keys, and DID documents based on Hyperledger Indy and DIDComm open sources. The developed communication method can be applied to verify each other by exchanging additional information and verifiable credentials for trust among communication participants.

In this paper, we propose the secure key management framework to connect USN with different network. Although connected USN with different network has no CA (Certificate Authority), it is important to use public key based cryptography system because this network consists of numerous devices. The proposed mechanisms focus on device authentication and public/private key management without existing PKI system of IP network. To solve no CA and certificate problems, the IDC (Identity Based Cryptography) concept is adopted in our proposed mechanism. To verify the possibility of realization, we make an effort to implement the proposed mechanisms to real system. In the test bed, both USN and PLC network are connected to IP network; and proposed mechanisms are implemented to PLC and sensor devices. Through this test using the proposed mechanism, we met the similar performance with symmetric algorithms on key generation and update process. Also, we confirmed possibility of connection between different network and device authentication.

Decentralized Identity is based on the concept of self-sovereign identity, in which holders manage and provide their own credentials. However, a procedure is required to obtain credentials from issuers, and there is a risk of mess personal information leaking due to negligence of the issuers. In this paper, we propose a peer decentralized identity system based on Peer DID technology that allows only participants to verify their identity in 1:1 or 1:N small groups by matching the holder with the issuer. It is directly connected to a mobile device using short-range wireless communications such as bluetooth, and the holders create and provide their own credentials in person to the other party, thus fully realizing the self-sovereignty identity. The proposed system can simplify the identification process, improve security and privacy, and reduce costs. Furthermore, an extended architecture is possible to connect the proposed system and the distributed ledger to identify users in other domains. In the future, based on various technologies, it is also necessary to expand research on identity systems that can be utilized for human-to-thing and things-to-things authentication.

보안운영체제에서는 등급기반 사용자, 프로세스, 파일에 대한 영역분리 및 등급별 보안관리를 하는 다중등급보안(Multi Level Security)을 구현하고 있다. 안전한 운영체제에서는 사용자가 등급 즉, 자신의 보안등급과 보호범주를 설정하기 위해 권한 인증절차를 수행한다. 권한은 보안운영체제에서 강제적 접근 제어(Mandatory Access Control)의 기본이 되므로 그 보안에 중요성이 크다. 따라서, 권한 인증 절차의 보안이 부각되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 PKI 기반 전자서명 인증절차를 이용하여 신원 확인과 권한 인증을 한번에 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.

This paper addresses the issue of continuous user authentication within the metaverse environment. Recently, the metaverse plays a vital role in personal interaction, entertainment, education, and business, bringing forth significant security concerns. Particularly, vulnerabilities related to user identity verification have emerged as a major issue. This research proposes a novel method to verify identities by analyzing users' character movements in the metaverse through a pose estimation model. This method uses only video data for authentication, allowing flexibility in limited environments, and investigates how character movements contribute to user identification through various experiments. Furthermore, it explores the potential for extending this approach to other digital platforms. This research is expected to significantly contribute to enhancing security and innovating user identity verification methods in the metaverse environment.

FIDO(Fast IDentity Online) technology is expanding very rapidly which can replace traditional password-based authentication with biometrics technology[1,7]. FIDO provides convenient authentication with biometrics technology and secure key management with smart card technology, but it does not provide user identification, thus traditional user identification technology should be used before a FIDO device is registered to a FIDO server. K-FIDO[3] is an approach to implement FIDO and certificate-based authentication technology into a single device that user can utilize certificate-based authentication in initial registration of FIDO device to FIDO server. It is expected that very shortly users will own and use multiple K-FIDO devices. If we consider the traditional approach of copying single certificate to multiple devices or issuing independent certificate to each device, there will be many complex problems. In this paper we propose more secure and convenient key management technology in multiple K-FIDO device scenario using self-extended certification[4].

이질적 분산 환경에서 전자 상거래는 신임장을 기반으로 상거래 참여자들에 대한 인증 서비스가 제공되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CORBA 보안 명세 1 를 기반으로 전자 상거래 참여자들에 대한 객체 단위 인증 및 권한 부여 기법을 제공하는 상호 인증 서비스 구조를 제안한다. 이 구조는 Kerberos 2 의 인증 기법 및 인증 키 교환 기법으로 전자 상거래 참여자간에 상대 주체의 신원 확인 뿐 아니라 거래 진행 중 취득한 정보의 근원을 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 Kerberos 기법을 CORBA 플랫폼 기반의 상호 인증 구조로서 분산 환경에 대해 확장하였으므로 키 관리 등 보안 정보 관리에 있어 효율적이다.Abstract Electronic commerce shall provide its subjects with a credential-based authentication service in the heterogeneous distributed computing environment. In this paper, based on CORBA security service specification 1 which OMG defined, we propose the mutual authentication service for subjects of electronic commerce, providing the authentication of object level and the authenticated key exchange. This proposed structure, by Kerberos 2 for the authentication and the authenticated key exchange, assures not only the identification of a partner but also the confidence of origin of business item for negotiations between subjects of electronic commerce. Since our deployed Kerberos is extended to the mutual authentication service based on CORBA platform, it is efficient for security administration to manage the information such as a key management in the heterogeneous distributed computing environment.

Mobile computing system requires both precise identification and secure authentication scheme on remote mobile entities, which is based on the distributed mobile node. In this paper, existing discrete logarithm based $Schnorr^{[7]}$ like entity authentication schemes are improved by the analysis of performance and security on the hi-directional interactive proofs. And $EIGamal^{[14]}$ like efficient authentication schemes are also proposed. Then, these are enhanced with oblivious transfer based mono directional authentication schemes based on trusted third party for applying to the mobile agent based computing systems. Therefore, proposed schemes provide compatible performance and safety on mobile entity authentication processes.

자기 주권 신원 증명 기술인 DID가 강력한 인증 수단으로 떠오르고 있다. 이런 DID 기술을 사용한 DIDComm은 중앙을 거치지 않는, 사용자끼리의 통신(P2P)을 가능하게 만들어 주며, 이는 강력한 보안을 제공해 준다. 본 글은 DIDComm 기술을 활용한 P2P 메신저에 대해 작성하였다. 이를 활용한 메신저는 사용자 간의 높은 보안을 가진 통신을 제공해 줄 수 있으며 앞으로의 인터넷 시대, 메타버스 시대에서 주목할 만한 기술이다.
