In 2009, Jeon et al proposed the lightweight strong authentication and strong privacy protocol, where the tag requrires only simple bitwise operations and random number generator. JK-RFID authentication protocol provides strong security: eavesdropping, replay, spoofing, Location tracking, DoS attack and forward security. Nevertheless, this paper points out the vulnerability of the forward security and improve the process of key updating. As a result, proposes an enhanced JK-RFID authentication protocol providing forward security and verify its satisfaction. In addition, a security and an efficiency of the proposed scheme analyze. Since partial adjustments of the key updating operation in JK-RFID authentication protocol, our protocol improve the forward security.

현재 PGP(Pretty Good Privacy)와 S/MIME(Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension)와 같은 여러 가지 이메일 보안 프로토콜들이 제안되어 사용되고 있으나 이들 프로토콜은 최근 중요시되고 있는 보안 요구사항인 전방향 안전성을 보장하지 못한다. 최근에 이 요구사항을 충족하는 이메일 보안 프로토콜들이 제안되었으나 현실적이지 못한 가정 하에 설계되었거나 효율성 측면에서 개선이 필요한 프로토콜들이다. 또한 일부 프로토콜들은 실제 완전한 전방향 안전성을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이 부분을 개선하고, 완전한 전방향 안전성을 제공하는 안전한 이메일 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안되는 프로토콜은 Zheng 의 signcryption 기법을 사용하여 효율적이고 안전한 인증을 제공한다.

Many service systems use Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to protect the service. But there arc problems with the use of PKI. One of the problems is that some services would require a function instantaneously to check public kel certificate, but PKI does not satisfy such request. To solve the problem, Bouch et al. first proposed the concept of mediated RSA (mRSA). Then Gene Tsudik proposed 'weak' forward secure mRSA. In this paper, we analyze the weakness of these schemes and find the source of the vulnerabilitv. And we propose a new mRSA that is strong forward secure.

A non-interactive key exchange protocol provides an efficiency of overall system by eliminating additional communication. However, traditional non-interactive key exchange protocols without updating a private key fail to provide forward secrecy, since there is no usage of ephemeral key for randomness of session key. In 2012, Sang et al. proposed a certificateless non-interactive key exchange(CL-NIKE) protocol, but they do not prove the security of the protocol and it does not provide forward secrecy. In this paper, we propose a new CL-NIKE protocol and it's security model. Then we prove the proposed protocol is secure under the security model based on DBDH(Decision Bilinear Diffie-Hellman) assumption. Moreover, we propose a CL-NIKE protocol with forward secrecy which updates user's private key by using multilinear map and prove it's security.

Public Key Broadcast Encryption (PKBE) allows a sender to distribute a message to a changing set of users over an insecure channel. PKBE schemes should be able to dynamically exclude (i.e., revoke) a certain subset of users from decrypting a ciphertext, so that only remaining users can decrypt the ciphertext. Another important requirement is for the scheme to be forward-secrecy. A forward-secure PKBE (fs-PKBE) enables each user to update his private key periodically. This updated private key prevents an adversary from obtain the private key for certain past period, which property is particularly needed for pay-TV systems. In this paper, we present a fs-PKBE scheme where both ciphertexts and private keys are of $O(\sqrt{n})$ size. Our PKBE construction is based on Boneh-Boyen-Goh's hierarchical identity-based encryption scheme. To provide the forward-secrecy with our PKBE scheme, we again use the delegation mechanism for lower level identities, introduced in the BBG scheme. We prove chosen ciphertext security of the proposed scheme under the Bilinear Diffie-Hellman Exponent assumption without random oracles.

We often use cryptographic systems on small devices such as mobile phones, smart cards and so on. But such devices are delicate against the tlreat of key exposure of secret keys. To reduce the damage caused by exposure of secret keys stored on such devices, the concept of forward security is introduced. In this Paper, we present a new forward secure signature scheme based on Gap Diffie-Hellman groups. Our scheme achieves security against chosen-message attacks under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the random oracle model.

Forward secrecy in an e-mail system means that the compromising of the long-term secret keys of the mail users and mail servers does not affect the confidentiality of the previous e-mail messages. Previous forward-secure e-mail protocols used the certified public keys of the users and thus needed PKI(Public Key Infrastructure). In this paper, we propose a password-based authenticated e-mail protocol providing forward secrecy. The proposed protocol does not require certified public keys and is sufficiently efficient to be executed on resource-restricted mobile devices.

The rapidly growing IoT market is expanding not only in general households but also in smart homes and smart cities. Among the major protocols used in IoT, ZigBee accounts for more than 90% of the smart home's door lock market and is mainly used in miniaturized sensor devices, so the safety of the protocol is very important. However, the device using Zig Bee is not satisfied with the omnidirectional safety because it uses a fixed key during the authentication process that connects to the network, and it has not been resolved in the recently developed ZigBee 3.0. This paper proposes a design method that provides omnidirectional safety to the ZigBee authentication protocol and can be quickly applied to existing protocols. The proposed improved ZigBee authentication protocol analyzed and applied the recently developed OWE protocol to apply ECDH, which has low computational volume and provides omnidirectional safety in IoT. Based on this, it provides the safety of the ZigBee authentication protocol, and it is expected that it will be able to provide user convenience as it does not require a separate certificate or password input.

One of the most important security issues of e-mail service is user privacy. Currently, various security protocols, like PGP(pretty Good Privacy), S/MIME(Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension), have been proposed. These protocols, however, do not provide forward secrecy. Recently, some security protocols that provide forward secrecy were proposed. But all of them require changes to the current e-mail infrastructure. Moreover, contrary to authors' intention, some of them do not actually provide perfect forward secrecy. In this paper, we propose a new practical e-mail security protocol. The proposed protocol provides perfect forward secrecy and uses a practical e-mail model that dose not require any changes to existing e-mail servers. It encrypts and authenticates messages efficiently using elliptic curve based signcryption scheme. In addition, we provide a way to send secure group e-mails.
