RFID system is the contact-less recognition technology and use for distribution system, environment, transport, security and so on. However, it may create many security relevant problems such as privacy because constraints of RFID communication environment. So several methods of resolving these problems have been proposed. Recently, Shin and Park proposed an efficient RFID authentication protocol with protecting user's privacy using hash function and exclusive-OR.. But Ahn and Bu et al. poia problem that a attacker can to masquerade as malicious reader because their protocol can't providing mutual authentication.nted out weakness of Shin and Park's protocol and proposed more secure and efficient protocol. Unfortunately, Ahn and But's protocol has In this paper, We propose an improved RFID authentication protocol providing mutual authentication. The proposed protocol has advantages that providing mutual authentication between a tag and a reader, secure against replay attack and spoofing attack. Also, it guarantees anonymity of RFID tag and secure against location tracking attack by collusion of malicious readers.

Mobile RFID system, that consists of the existing RFID reader mounted on the mobile devices such as smartphones, is able to provide the users a variety of services and convenience. Although the users can get the information about a certain product anytime anywhere, there is high probability that their privacy may be violated because their belongings with RFID tags can be scanned by other mobile readers at any time. Several RFID authentication schemes have been proposed to deal with these privacy issues. However, since the existing solutions require heavy computation on the tag side, most of them is not applicable to the general low-cost passive tags which do not have any processing unit. In this paper, we propose the efficient authentication scheme for mobile RFID system applicable to the passive tags as well as the active ones by the best use of computing capability of mobile devices. The proposed scheme satisfies the import security issues such as tag protection, untraceability, anti-traffic analysis. We also implement the proposed scheme on top of real smartphone for feasibility and show the experimental results from it.

In 2010, Pedro et al. proposed RFID distance bounding protocol based on WSBC cryptographic puzzle. This paper points out that Pedro et al.'s protocol not only is vulnerable to tag privacy invasion attack and location tracking attack because an attacker can easily obtain the secret key(ID) of a legal tag from the intercepted messages between the reader and the tag, but also requires heavy computation by performing symmetric key operations of the resource limited passive tag and many communication rounds between the reader and the tag. Moreover, to resolve the security weakness and the computation/communication efficiency problems, this paper also present a new RFID distance bounding protocol based on WSBC cryptographic puzzle that can provide strong security and high efficiency. As a result, the proposed protocol not only provides computational and communicational efficiency because it requires secure one-way hash function for the passive tag and it reduces communication rounds, but also provides strong security because both tag and reader use secure one-way hash function to protect their exchanging messages.

As a core technology in the ubiquitous environment, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology takes an important role. RFID technology provides various information about objects or surrounding environment by attaching a small electronic tag on the object, thus, it means the remote control recognition technology. However, the problems which never happened before can be generated on the point of security and privacy due to the feature that RFID technology can recognize the object without any physical contact. In order to solve these problems, many studies for the RFID recognition technology are going on the progress. The currently running study is the secure communication channel between database and reader applying the recognition technology in the insecure communication channel between reader and tag. But, the purpose of this paper is to settle a privacy problem, which is insecurity of communication between database and reader channel by suggesting providing a user with authentication protocol in order to give information to an authorized entity.

RFID is recognized to technically occupy important position in ubiquitous computing environment and expected to create new markets in a variety of fields from now on. In order to generalize RFID system, it is required to solve the problem of privacy invasion and expedite lots of tags We suggest efficient RFID Tag Identification to identify tags quickly on the satisfaction with 3 security requirements of privacy protection in this paper. This methods are transferred to Grid environment through parallel analysis of Hash-Chain, and we measure performance of each nodes under the Grid environment. Then, We'll suggest SP-Division Algorithm to identify tags with each nodes and implement it in a Grid environment.

인간의 가장 큰 욕구인 편의와 안전을 위해 우리의 곁에서 떨어질 수 없는 것이 차량이다. 그러므로 차량을 이용하면서 겪게 되는 안전과 편의 또한 떼어놓을 수 없는 문제 중에 하나다. 그 편의와 안전을 위해 VANET이 활발히 개발 중이다. VANET은 차량에서 사용되는 근거리/중거리 통신용 무선 프로토콜로써 차량 간 통신인 V2V, 차량과 네트워크 기반구조 간의 통신인 V2I를 지원하는 네트워크로써 다양한 서비스를 제공한다. 이에 학문적, 상업적으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 네트워크 기반의 기술인만큼 사용자의 프라이버시 침해가 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이 중에서도 사용자의 익명성, 추적성, 객체인증에 관한 Location Privacy는 개발과정에서 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 VANET에서의 Location Privacy 보호에 대한 기술들의 개략적인 내용을 서술하고, 장단점을 분석하였다. Location Privacy 보호를 위한 기술에는 해쉬통합을 이용한 보호기술, MAC-체인을 이용한 보호기술, 그리고 세션 키 교환을 이용한 보호기술이 있다. 세 가지 기술 중에서 MAC-체인을 이용한 기술이 Location Privacy 보호에 가장 적합하다.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is a key technology in ubiquitous computing and is expected to be employed in more fields in the near future. Nevertheless, the RFID system is vulnerable to attacks by eavesdropping or altering of the messages transmitted in wireless channels. In 2013, Oh et al. proposed a mutual authentication protocol between a tag and a reader in RFID systems. Their protocol is designed to resist location tracking for privacy protection. However, all tags and readers use only one network-wide key in their protocol and tags are usually vulnerable to physical attacks. We found that their protocol is still vulnerable to tag/reader impersonation attacks and location tracking if an attacker obtains the network-wide key from a tag. In this paper, we propose a security improved authentication protocol for privacy protection in RFID systems. In addition, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme is efficient in terms of computation and communication costs.

This paper proposes a scheme to collect video data of the vehicle black box in order to strengthen the public safety. The existing schemes, such as surveillance system with the fixed CCTV and car black box, have privacy issues, network traffic overhead and the storage space problems because all video data are sent to the central server. In this paper, the central server only collects the video data related to the accident or the criminal offense using the GPS information and time in order to investigation of the accident or the criminal offense. The proposed scheme addresses the privacy issues and reduces network traffic overhead and the storage space of the central server since the central server collects the video data only related to the accident and the criminal offense. The implementation and experiment shows that our service is feasible. The proposed service can be used as a component of remote surveillance system to prevent the criminal offense and to investigate the criminal offense.

Recently, an indoor location-aware technology has been focused on as a key technology for context awareness in ubiquitous computing environments. The conventional Cricket system was designed with a non-centralized architecture, which has advantages in terms of user privacy, deployment, scalability, decentralized administration, network heterogeneity, and low cost. In this paper, an indoor location system based on TDOA between RF and ultrasound signals is designed, which improves the Cricket system. A 2.4GHz frequency is employed for transmitting RF messages, which is in an ISM band. The beaconing frequency is doubled to enhance the channel utilization rate. The ultrasonic pulse duration is optimized to increase the coverage of ultrasonic signals. The function of calculating location coordinates is embedded in a listener. The location-update rate and location accuracy are also improved.
