Many Web sites adopt SMS(Short Message Service)-based user authentication when a user loses her password or approves an online payment. In SMS-based authentication, the authentication server sends a text in plaintext to a user's phone, and it allows an attacker who eavesdrops or intercepts the text to impersonate a valid user(victim). We propose a challenge-response scheme to prove to the authentication server that a user is in a certain place at the moment with her smartphone beside her. The proposed scheme generates a response using a challenge by the server, user's current location, and a secret on the user's smartphone all together. Consequently, the scheme is much more secure than SMS-based authentication that simply asks a user to send the same text arrived on her phone back to the server. In addition to entering the response, which substitutes the SMS text, the scheme also requests a user to input a passphrase to get the authentication process started. We believe, however, the additional typing should be tolerable to most users considering the enhanced security level of the scheme.

카 하이어링 서비스는 개개인간의 차를 공유할 수 있는 환경을 제공해주는 서비스 플랫폼이다. 카 하이어링 서비스에서는 일반적으로 웹 서버를 구축하여 자차의 대여를 원하는 개인이 해당 차량의 지역 정보, 등록 정보 등을 기입 저장한다. 이후 웹 서버를 통해 일련의 인증과정을 거친 사용자가 해당 지역에 등록되어 있는 차량의 이용을 원할 때, 서버로 본인의 유저 정보를 송신하여 차량을 대여할 수 있도록 서비스를 운영한다. 우리는 본 연구에서 비콘 기술과 영상처리를 통한 PSNR 검출을 사용하여 개인 간의 차량 대여에서 발생하는 보안성과 신뢰성 문제를 보완 향상시켜 카 하이어링 서비스를 활성화 할 수 있는 기반을 구축하고자 한다. 이를 위해 웹 서비스 구현, 인증된 사용자만이 차량을 이용할 수 있는 인증키 생성 및 암호화 알고리즘, 라즈베리파이를 비콘 스캐너로 활용한 인증키 검증 절차, 카메라 영상처리를 이용한 차량 동작 감지 방법의 구현으로 보안성을 강화한 시스템을 구축하였다.

DSTM is one of the 1Pv6/IPv4 transition mechanisms using IPv4-in-IPv6 tunneling for communication between IPv6 node with dual stack and Ipv4-only node. In DSTM, the DSTM server using the DHCPv6 is vulnerable to DoS attacks which can exhaust the IPv4 address pool. In this paper, an authentication model using a HRAA (Human Recognition Address Allocation) scheme was proposed to protect DHCP server against DoS attacks. The proposed authentication model in DSTM that uses an image file for verification is effective because only human can respond to the challenge for authenticated address allocation. The proposed model can be used anytime and anywhere in a DSTM domain, and is secure against DoS attacks.

A genuine product authentication framework and genuine distinction algorithm based on design QR code is proposed in this paper. The proposed framework consists of design QR code, a smart phone application for authentication, and a server system. Design QR code is a shape-modification of conventional QR code according to manufacturer's and/or product's need. In the design QR code, information about manufacturer and product is written. The written information can be read with general QR code reader, however, the content is transformed with authentication code, used in the first step authentication, and the meaning cannot be inferred. The application conducts the first step authentication and sends the resulting information to the server system for the second step authentication. The server system decides the genuinity using look-up history. The proposed framework can improve the authentication effect while minimizing the additional costs by managing the history through the server system. The proposed framework has proven to be effective in actual use, such as that used for the management of garbage bags in Ansan city.

As quick and secure mobility service is becoming a critical issue in the ubiquitous environment. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has done a lot of meaningful work in order to cope with the critical issues, which is a key technology of guaranteeing the legally and safely using of network resources, they has proposed Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) to complement for such problems as handover latency and signaling overhead in existing MIPv6. Most of the current research about HMIPv6 focuses on how to optimize the interactive processes between the HMIPv6 and AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) protocol. This paper describes a cost-effective hierarchical authentication scheme, which makes its focus on minimizing the authentication latency in AAA processing. In this scheme, a hierarchical AAA architecture is proposed, in which the AAA servers are deployed on the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP), the Root AAA server manages several Leaf AAA servers and the Brokers on behalf of the AAA server in home domain. The simulation results shows that the proposed scheme reduces the handoff and authentication latency evidently compared to the previous traditional authentication combination modeling.

Recently, Li and Hwang scheme proposed a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart card. It is asserted that this scheme has very excellent benefits by the operation cost efficiency based on the smart card, one-way function and biometrics using random numbers. But this scheme cannot provide the properly authentication, especially, it is analyzed as the vulnerable security scheme for Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks by impersonate attacks. The attacker controls the insecure channel, they can easily fabricate messages to pass the user's or server's authentication, and the malicious attacker can impersonate the user to cheat the server and can impersonate the server to cheat the user without knowing any secret information. This paper proposes the strong improved scheme which can respond to multiple attacks by supplementing the function of integrity check from the server which applied variable authenticator and OSPA without exposing the user's password information. It is supplemented pregnable of disguise attack and mutual authentication of Li and Hwang scheme.

Many biometrics-based user authentication schemes using smart cards have been proposed to improve the security weaknesses in user authentication system. In 2010, Chang et al. proposed an improved biometrics-based user authentication scheme without concurrency system which can withstand forgery attack, off-line password guessing attack, replay attack, etc. In this paper, we analyze the security weaknesses of Chang et al.'s scheme and we have shown that Chang et al.'s scheme is still insecure against man-in-the-middle attack, off-line biometrics guessing attack, and does not provide mutual authentication between the user and the server. And we proposed the improved scheme to overcome these security weaknesses, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is revealed. As a result, the proposed scheme is secure for the user authentication attack, the server masquerading attack, the man-in-the-middle attack, and the off-line biometrics guessing attack, does provide the mutual authentication between the user and the remote server. And, in terms of computational complexities, the proposed scheme is more effective than Chang et al.'s scheme.

Most password-authenticated key exchange schemes in the literature provide an authenticated key exchange between a client and a server based on a pre-shared password. With a rapid change in modem communication environments, it is necessary to construct a secure end-to-end channel between clients, which is a quite different paradigm from the existing ones. In this paper we propose a new framework which provides a password-authenticated ky exchange between clients based only on their two different Passwords without my Pre-shared secret, so called Client-to-Client Password-Authenticated Key Exchange(C2C-PAKE). Security notions and types of possible attacks are newly defined according to the new framework We prove our scheme is secure against all types of attacks considered in the paper. Two secure C2C-PAKE schemes are suggested, one in a cross-realm setting and the other in a single-sorrel setting.
