The existing smart grid device authentication system is concentrated on DCU, meter reading FEP and MDMS, and the authentication system for smart meters is not established. Although some cryptographic chips have been developed at present, it is difficult to complete the PKI authentication scheme because it is at the low level of simple encryption. Unlike existing power grids, smart grids are based on open two-way communication, increasing the risk of accidents as information security vulnerabilities increase. However, PKI is difficult to apply to smart meters, and there is a possibility of accidents such as system shutdown by sending manipulated packets and sending false information to the operating system. Issuing an existing PKI certificate to smart meters with high hardware constraints makes authentication and certificate renewal difficult, so an ultra-lightweight password authentication protocol that can operate even on the poor performance of smart meters (such as non-IP networks, processors, memory, and storage space) was designed and implemented. As a result of the experiment, lightweight cryptographic authentication protocol was able to be executed quickly in the Cortex-M3 environment, and it is expected that it will help to prepare a more secure authentication system in the smart grid industry.

The key technology of Industry 4.0, Smart factory is evaluated as the driving force of our economic development hereafter and a lot of researches have been established. Various entities including devices, products and managers exist in smart factory, but roles of these entities may be continuous or variable and can become extinct not long after. Existing methods for access control are not suitable to adapt to the variable environment. If we don't consider certain security level, important industrial data can be the targets of attacks. We need a new access control method satisfying desired level of efficiency and security without excessive system loads. In this paper, we propose a new RBAC-PAC which extend AC defined for PKC to the authority attribute of roles. We distribute PACs for roles through block chain method to provide the efficient access control. We verified that RBAC-PAC is more efficient in the smart factory with large number of entities which need a frequent permission update.

We newly propose a multiple and unlinkable identity-based public key encryption scheme which allows the use of a various number of identity-based public keys in different groups or applications while keeping a single decryption key so that the decryption key can decrypt every ciphertexts encrypted with those public keys. Also our scheme removes the use of certificates as well as the key escrow problem so it is functional and practical. Since our public keys are unlinkable, the user's privacy can be protected from attackers who collect and trace the user information and behavior using the known public keys. Furthermore, we suggest a decryption key renewal protocol to strengthen the security of the single decryption key. Finally, we prove the security of our scheme against the adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack under the random oracle model.

There is an authentication method for participants with an encrypted ID and password as a symmetric-key in multilateral video conferencing. It is hard to manage when the security-keys makes many while the transportation processing for the encryption and decryption get complicated when the video conferencing involves a number of participants and the third party as an attackers to gain unauthorized symmetric-key to access video conference which makes a problem less secrecy. This study suggests three ways to enhance security in video conference: first, we present PKI-based X.509 certificate for authenticating the participants of multilateral conferencing and we suggest to encode and decode the video conference media data using a secrecy key created by each of the conference participants; second, a more secured multilateral video conferencing can be expected in a group communication by using the participants secrecy key in creating and distributing group keys, where the group key will be renewed whenever there is change in the group member; and finally, we suggest to encode the RTP payload of the media data before transmission.

Study and analysis on the digital certification of the world today, and census on how digital signature is being used or considered for the government will be used to sum of what can be the difficulties and Problems in operating digital signature certifications for the government administrations at this research, and of course the answers to these problems will be provided too. This research suggests practical ideas on how to interoperate between Government PKI (GPKI: Administrational Digital Certification for the Government) and National PKI (NPKI: Digital Certification for General Public ＆Business), how to make use of Standard Security APIs, how to manage (e.g. issue, reissue, update, revoke) digital certificate, how to improve technical side of security and reliability, and how to improve political issues on public education for information security. Digital certification will become more popular and widely used in government administrations in the future. Therefore, census and research on demands md satisfactions of digital certification for public and government will be regularly performed. Of course, continuous maintenances and improvement in this field will be necessary to obtain firmer way of information security.

A policy is needed to provide appropriate medical services to rural residents living in medically vulnerable areas and to resolve imbalances in health and medical resources through this. In general, a survey method is used to secure medical services to the residents, and a security policy is needed to distribute and collect the questionnaire type and personal information between the investigator and the participant as digital contents. The proposed thesis introduces DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology as a way to safely manage the questionnaire type of the investigator and the personal information of the participants, and improves the problem that the existing License Server issues, renews, and cancels licenses to all domains. In order to do this, it provides convenience to the DRM-based survey policy that only DMs bundled with the family domain performs license management after the certificate is issued.

In the wireless Internet, it is so restrictive to use the IPSec. The MIPv4 IPSec's path cannot include wireless links. That is, the IPSec of the wireless Internet cannot protect an entire path of Host-to-Host connection. Also wireless circumstance keeps a path static during the shorter time, nevertheless, the IKE for IPSec SA agreement requires relatively long delay. The certificate management of IPSec PKI security needs too much burden. This means that IPSec of the wireless Internet is so disadvantageous. Our paper is to construct the Mobile IPSec proper to the wireless Internet which provides the host-to-host transport mode service to protect even wireless links as applying excellent WP-IBE scheme. For this, Mobile IPSec requires a dynamic routing over a path with wireless links. FA Forwarding is a routing method for FA to extend the path to a newly formed wireless link. The FA IPSec SA for FA Forwarding is updated to comply the dynamically extended path using Source Routing based Bind Update. To improve the performance of IPSec, we apply efficient and strong future Identity based Weil Pairing Bilinear Elliptic Curve Cryptography called as WP-IBE scheme. Our paper proposes the modified protocols to apply 6 security-related algorithms of WP-IBE into the Mobile IPSec. Particularly we focus on the protocols to be applied to construct ESP Datagram.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish accreditation systems of reliable educational materials for nutrition and dietary life which could be used in schools, workplace, and health promotion. Methods: The study was conducted from April 2011 to October 2011. Literature reviews, institutional visits, and telephone interviews were conducted. Expert meetings and advisory councils were held in order to receive feedback on development of the accreditation systems. A survey was conducted for the accreditation procedures on 143 professionals, including professors, researchers, health and medical experts, teachers, nutrition teachers, dietitians, and clinical nutritionists. Results: The final procedure of the developed accreditation system was finalized as follows: 1) receiving application twice per year 2) complete desk review (written evaluation) by three reviewers within two months, 3) board review (all board members) and decision, and 4) notification of results. The accreditation system is set for printed materials, web-site, and materials for activities. The certificate and accreditation mark is issued to the final certified educational materials. Expiration date is established only for the web-site form. The accreditation length lasts for two years, and can be extended by renewal application. Conclusion: The dietary and nutrition related materials, which are certificated by this accreditation system, could impart reliable information and knowledge to both learners and educators, and help them in effective selection of educational materials. Therefore, this accreditation system might be expected to increase satisfaction for teaching and learning about nutrition and healthy dietary life.
