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.

Recently, remote user authentication scheme protecting user anonymity using smart card has been researched with interest increasing on user privacy. Although authentication scheme providing user anonymity using smart card had been proposed by Das et al, Chien et al. pointed out Das et al. scheme fail to provide user anonymity and proposed new scheme to overcome the problem. A remote system Kim et al. proposed a scheme which is traceable about malicious user with protecting user anonymity. In this paper, we point out that Kim et a1. scheme fail to provide user anonymity and propose a scheme for some problems Kim et al. scheme has. And then we analysis our scheme on cryptophic security and efficiency with Kim scheme.

Due to widely use of internet, a lot of users frequently access into remote server in distributed computing environment. However, transmitting the information using vulnerable channel without authentication security system can be exposed to replay attack, offline password attack, and impersonation attack. According to this possibility, there is research about authentication protocol to prevent these hostile attacks using smart card. In this paper, we analyze vulnerability of user authentication system based on password and propose modified user authentication system.

In 2018, Cui et al proposed a three-factor remote user authentication scheme using biometrics. Cui et al claimed that their authentication scheme is vulnerable to eavesdropping attack, stolen smart card attack, and especially Dos(denial-of-service) attack. Also they claimed that it is safe to password guessing attack, impersonation attack, and anonymity attack. In this paper, however, we analyze Cui et al's authentication scheme and show that it is vulnerable to replay attack, insider attack, stolen smart card attack, and user impersonation attack, etc. In addition, we present the design flaws in Cui et al's authentication scheme as well.

Recently Wang-Li proposed the remote user authentication scheme using smart cards. But the proposed scheme has not been satisfied security requirements considering in the user authentication scheme using the password based smart card. In this paper, we described the Wang-Li and Yoon et al.'s authentication scheme simply, and we prove that the Wang-Li's scheme is vulnerable to a password guessing attack and impersonation attack in case that the attacker steals the user's smart card and extracts the information in the smart card. Accordingly, we propose the improved user authentication scheme based on the hash function and generalized ElGamal signature scheme that can withstand many possible attacks including a password guessing attack, impersonation attack and replay attack, and that can offer the function of forward secrecy. The result of comparative analysis, the our proposed scheme is much more secure and efficient than the Wang-Li and Yoon et al.'s scheme.

In a network environment, when a user requests a server's service, he/she must pass an examination of user authentication. Through this process, the server can determine if the user can use the provided services and the exact access rights of this user in these services. In these authentication schemes, the security of private information became an important issue. For this reason, many suggestions have been made in order to protect the privacy of users and smart cards have been widely used for authentication systems providing anonymity of users recently. An remote user authentication system using smart cards is a very practical solution to validate the eligibility of a user and provide secure communication. However, there are no studies in attribute-based authentication schemes using smart cards so far. In this paper, we propose a novel user authentication scheme using smart cards based on attributes. The major merits include : (1) the proposed scheme achieves the low-computation requirement for smart cards; (2) user only needs to register once and can use permitted various services according to attributes; (3) the proposed scheme guarantees perfect anonymity to remote server.

In 2011, C.-T. Li et al. proposed a secure user authentication scheme, which is an improvement over Kim et al.'s scheme to resolve several security flaws such as off-line password guessing attack and masquerading attack. C.-T. Li et al. claimed that their scheme prevents smart card security related attacks. Moreover, it provides mutual authentication and session key establishment. However, we found that their scheme is vulnerable to password guessing attack through password change phase, smart card forgery attack and stolen verifier attack. Moreover, C.-T. Li et al.'s scheme is not secure against password guessing attack as they claimed. In this paper, we also point out that their scheme is not practical to use.

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication provides each component (machine) with access to Internet, evolving into the IoT technology. IoT is a trend where numbers of devices provide the communication service, using the Internet protocol. As spreading the concept of IoT(Internet of Things), various objects become home information sources. According to the wide spread of various devices, it is difficult to access data on the devices with unified manners. Under this environment, security is a critical element to create various types of application and service. In this paper propose the inter-device authentication and Centralized Remote Security Provisioning framework in Open M2M environment. The results of previous studies in this task is carried out by protecting it with the latest information on M2M / IoT and designed to provide the ultimate goal of future M2M / IoT optimized platform that can be integrated M2M / IoT service security and security model presents the information.

The home network environment can be defined as a network environment, connecting digital home devices such as computer systems, digital appliances, and mobile devices. In this kind of home network environments, there will be numerous local/remote interactions to monitor and control the home network devices and the home gateway. Such an environment may result in communication bottleneck. By applying the mobile agents that can migrate among the computing devices autonomously and work on behalf of the user, remote interactions and network traffics can be reduced enormously. The mobile agent authentication is necessary to apply mobile agent concept to the home network environments, as a prerequisite technology for authorization or access control to the home network devices and resources. The existing mobile agent systems have mainly used the public key based authentication scheme, which is not suitable to the home network environments, composed of digital devices of limited computation capability. In this paper, we propose a shared key based mobile agent authentication scheme for single home domain and expand the scheme to multiple domain environments with the public key based authentication scheme. Application of the shared key encryption scheme to the single domain mobile agent authentication enables to authenticate the mobile agent with less overhead than the public key based authentication scheme.

To verify correct operation of measuring instruments, we request the verification of measuring instrument to the agency that holds inspection devices. This works requires time and cost to the company. For this reason. We proposed "Smart Network Interface Card Model" for remote control of measuring instruments. Our model based on Web adapter, can add, delete and change the program to an existing web adapter from remote system. Furthermore, more than one program can be loaded, and can be updated from the remote system of internet. And also we can change the verification requirement of measuring instrument, hence it makes more good quality and competitive power of instruments.
