WLAN user authentication is mostly based on user password resulting in vulnerability to the notorious 'offline dictionary attack'. As a way around this problem. EAP-TTLS and PEAP protocols are increasing finding their way into WLANs, which are a sort of combination of password protocols and the TLS public-key protocol. This leads to the use of the public-key certificate of the WLAM authentication server, and naturally the concern arises about its revocation status. It seems, however, that any proper soulution has not been provided to address this concern. We propose a very efficent and proper solution to check the certificate revocation status.

전자서명의 장기검증이란 서명에 사용된 인증서의 유효기간이 지난 오랜 후에 서명을 검증하고자 하는 문제이다. RFC3126에서는 전자서명의 장기검증을 가능하게 하기 위해 타임스탬프기관(TSA)에 대한 신뢰를 바탕으로 전자서명에 타임스탬프(TS)를 부가하여 장기검증포맷으로 변환하여 저장하는 방법을 제시하고 있는데 TSA의 인증서도 유효기간을 가지기 때문에 시간이 지날수록 새로운 TS를 계속 부가해야 한다는 단점이 있다. 한편 과거에 사용했던 인증서 및 CRL등의 인증체계 자체를 보존하고 인증해주기 위한 메커니즘은 인증체계의 연속성을 보장하기 위해 매우 중요하다고 볼 수 있는데, 현재의 공개키기반구조(PKI) 메커니즘에는 특별히 정의되어 있지 않다. 인증체계의 장기검증을 위해 RFC3126[1]의 방법론을 적용하는 것은 여러 가지 측면에서 효율적인 방법이 아니다. 이 논문에서는 인증체계의 과거역사를 보존하고 보증해주기 위한 새로운 방법을 제시하는데, 인증기관이 자신의 인증서를 갱신하는 경우 자신이 운영했던 과거의 인증역사에 대해 봉인을 하고 책임있는 사후서비스를 하도록 하며, 현재의 인증서에 과거역사에 대한 명시적인 인증을 포함하도록 하는 것이다. 이러한 방법은 기존의 인증체계와 함께 이용될 수 있고 인증체계의 연속성을 보장하는데 큰 역할을 하게 되며 전자서명 장기검증에도 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 보인다.

The important factor in Public-Key Infrastructure is the authentication to correspondent. We receive the digital certificate for authentication between each other, and then we check the existence of validity on the certificate by Certification Revocation List(CRL). But, To use CRL is the scheme used in offline status. So, it is impossible to refer to the latest information and the CRL scheme which is used after downloading is variously unsuitable to getting bigger of the CRL size as time goes on. Therefore, we prefer OCSP(Online Certificate Status Protocol) used in online to CRL used in offline. Consequently, we propose the scheme which provides the request of fast verification in case of requesting the verification on the certificate by owning the same update information to Certificate Registry and distributed OCSP.

IISO/IEC 9594-8 defines the public key framework and attribute certificate framework. Attribute certificate framework deals with privilege management infrastructure(PMI). In PMI, for privilege management using attribute certificates, role assignment certificates and role specification certificates are used to assign and specify privileges independently. Role specification certificates includes privilege specifications and the details far privilege management of network environments. Privilege management of unreliable network environment tries to enhance the reliability and efficiency of privilege information transmission forwarding over unreliable routes in the presence of potentially faulty nodes and edges. Each node forms a role specification tree based on role specification relationship data collected from the network. In this paper privilege management cost with the role specification certificates tree structure is evaluated trying to reduce the overhead incurred by role creation and modification of privileges. The multicasting of packets are used for scalability. We establish management cost model taking into account the packet loss and node reliability which continuously join and leave for network. We present quantitative results which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed privilege management scheme.

PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)는 공개키 암호 어플리케이션에 사용되어지는 공개키의 유효성을 보장하기 위해 공개키에 대한 전자인증서의 발행과 획득, 조회, 검증을 위해 사용되는 인증서 관리 기반구조를 말한다. 본 논문에서는 인트라넷 환경에서의 PKI 응용 서비스에 적용 가능한 공개키 인증 시스템을 Linux를 기반으로 설계하고 그 prototype을 구현하였다. 인증 시스템은 Root CA와 하위 CA 및 Client로 구성되어 있고, 인증서 발행, 갱신, 폐지 등의 기능을 수행한다. 제안된 시스템의 구현 환경은 Linux를 기반으로 하는 Apache Web-Server와 암호 라이브러리는 SSL을 기반으로 하는 Openssl을 사용하였다.

OCSP has specific characters which can suspend, close, and correct in real time. But, as more clients use the OCSP server verification, more updated information is needed, which can lead to jamming in the OCSP server. To apply this technique of Distributed OCSP server so as to reduce the certificate verification OCSP from jamming. Also, the Distributed OCSP server will solve the problems of the intensive central structure. Simulation results show that the average reply time of certificate verification request and server load are reduced in the case using distributed OCSP. In addition to this advantage, resource distribution and fault tolerance are acquired because of multiple OCSP.

Mobile Ad-hoc networks have various implementation constraints such as infrastructure-free, no trusted authority, node mobility, and the limited power and small memory of mobile device. And just like wired networks, various security issues such as authentication, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, access control, availability and so on have been arisen in mobile Ad-hoc networks. But we focus on authentication of these security issues because it is quitely affected by the characteristics of networks. In this paper, we propose the authentication protocol that can limit the size of certificate repository as $log_2N$ and assures to make a trusted certificate path from one node to another, adopting the concept of Hamming distance. Particularly, our protocol can construct a trusted certificate path in spite of decreasing or increasing the number of nodes in mobile Ad-hoc network.

The MANET has many problems in security despite of its many advantages such as supporting the mobility of nodes, independence of the fixed infrastructure, and quick network establishment. In particular, in establishing security, the traditional certification service has many difficult problems in applying to the MANET because of its safety, expandability, and availability. In this paper, a secure and effective distributed certification service method was proposed using the Secret Sharing scheme and the Threshold Digital Signature scheme in providing certification services in the MANET. In the proposed distributed certification service, certain nodes of relatively high safety among the mobile nodes consisting of the MANET, were set as privileged nodes, from which the process of issuing a certification started. The proposed scheme solved problem that the whole network security would be damaged by the intrusion to one node in the Centralized Architecture and the Hierarchical Architecture. And it decreased the risk of the exposure of the personal keys also in the Fully Distributed Architecture as the number of the nodes containing the partial confidential information of personal keys decreased. By the network simulation, the features and availability of the proposed scheme was evaluated and the relation between the system parameters was analyzed.

In this paper, proposes Kerberos certification mechanism that improve certification service of PKINIT base that announce in IETF CAT Working Croup. Also proposed Authentication Mechanism for reusability of Ticket that after Ticket's Lifetime is ended, message exchange that Local Client receives Remote Server's service. Since my suggestion to regional services are not described in Kerberos, authentication between regions can be performed via PKINIT(Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication) presented by IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) CAT working group. The new protocol is better than the authentication mechanism proposed by IETF CAT Working group in terms of communication complexity and mechanism according to simplified Ticket issue processing.

IoT which is the core IT of the 4^th industrial revolution, is providing various services from users in the conversion with other industries. The IoT convergence technology is leading the communication paradigm of communication environment in accordance with the increase of convenience for users. However, it is urgently needed to establish the security measures for the rapidly-developing IoT convergence technology. As IoT is closely related to digital ethics and personal information protection, other industries should establish the measures for coping with threatening elements in accordance with the introduction of IoT. In case when security incidents occur, there could be diverse problems such as information leakage, damage to image, monetary loss, and casualty. Thus, this paper suggests a certificate management technique for safe control over access in IoT-based Cloud convergence environment. This thesis designed the device/user registration, message communication protocol, and device renewal/management technique. On top of performing the analysis on safety in accordance with attack technique and vulnerability, in the results of conducting the evaluation of efficiency compared to the existing PKI-based certificate management technique, it showed about 32% decreased value.
