Recently, the ultra-lightweight authentication RFID protocol that can actually implement on the RFID Tag is one among authentication protocols getting a concern, but recently many problems were clarified of the feature becase of the protocol which doesn't use the security algorithm. In this paper, we analyzed the problem of the ultra-lightweight authentication protocols and propose the design of ultra-lightweight RFID authentic ation protocols improving the index processing techniques. Because of improving the index processing technique in the method sending the Server authentication message to the authenticated tag, the proposed protocol is strong against the active attack which Li presents. Besides, the proposed protocol has the buffer storage of the keys and index and is strong against the asynchronous attack.

수동형 RFID는 제한된 자원으로, 무선채널을 사용하는 기술이다. 하지만 여러 보안 문제점이 있으며, 이를 해결하기 위한 각종 암호화 기법이나 알고리즘을 활용한 인증 프로토콜이 발표되었다. AES와 해시는 대표적인 암호화 알고리즘으로써 그 안정성이 검증되었지만, EPC Global에서 규정한 통신 횟수를 만족하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 인덱스 처리 기법과 난수 사용을 기반으로 하는 초경량 RFID 인증 프로토콜을 제안한다. 이 프로토콜은 산술 논리연산자를 사용하여 주요 보안 문제를 해결하였다. 그리고 RFID에 최저 통신횟수를 만족하도록 구현 가능한 프로토콜을 작성하였다.

Recently, Chein et al proposed the ultralightweight strong authentication and strong integrity (SASI)protocol, where the tag requrires only simple bitwise operations. Since the tag does not support random number generator to generate a challenge nonce, an attacker can replay old messages and impersonate reader. However, all of the previous ultralightweight authentication schemes are vlunerable to various attacks: de-synk, eavesdropping, impersonating, tracking, DoS, disclosure etc. we analyze the problems of previous proposed ultrlightweight protocols, to overcome these security problems by using PRNG on the tag. Therefore, in this paper we propose a new lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocol that provides random number generator and bitwise operations, a security and an efficiency of the proposed schme analyze.

Low-cost RFID tags are used in many applications. However, since it has very limited power of computation and storage, it's not easy to make a RFID mutual authentication protocol which can resist from the various security attacks. Quite recently, Tian et al. proposed a new ultralightweight authentication protocol (RAPP) for low-cost RFID tags using the low computation cost operations; XOR, rotation, and permutation operations, which is able to resist from the various security attacks. In this paper, we show that RAPP is vulnerable to the de-synchronization attack and present an improved RAPP which overcomes the vulnerability of RAPP.

OTP(One time password) is widely used as an authentication method for financial and other security-sensitive transactions. OTP provides strong security since each password is used only one time while normal password-based authentications use passwords as long term secrets. However, OTP-based authentications relatively lack usability since they require users to hold an OTP card or generator. To overcome such a problem, smartphones start replacing OTP cards and such a method is called smart OTP. However, smart OTP inherits security vulnerabilities that smartphones have. In this paper, we propose a smart OTP authentication based on an extremely light authentication protocol called HB+. HB+ protocol is developed for low-cost devices and has small communication and computation costs. We present our solution and discuss its security, efficiency and practicality. Our contribution is providing a method to securely use smart OTP without losing its efficiency and usability.

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.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) 기술의 발전은 편의성과 경제성으로 전 세계에 확산되어 사용되고 있다. 비록 세계적인 보안 표준안이 정해 지지 않았지만 RFID 보안 분야는 각 나라에 맞게 표준을 선정하여 적용되고 있다. 한편, RFID 기술의 발전으로 RFID의 칩이 소형화되고, 장거리 통신이 가능해짐에 따라 RFID 시스템에 내장된 정보를 다른 누군가가 활용하여 개인 또는 기업 등의 프라이버시를 불법으로 수집하는 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문은 RFID 시스템에서 정보의 누출을 막기 위해 해쉬 알고리즘과 초경량 스트림 암호알고리즘을 사용하여 전방위 안전성이 향상된 RFID시스템을 제안, 분석하였다.

IoT, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of M2M communication technology, was proposed to realize intelligent thing to thing communications by utilizing Internet connectivity. Things in IoT are generally heterogeneous and resource constrained. Also such things are connected with each other over LLN(low power and lossy Network). Confidentiality, mutual authentication and message origin authentication are required to make a secure service in IoT. Security protocols used in traditional IP Networks cannot be directly adopted to resource constrained devices in IoT. Under the respect, a IETF standard group proposes to use lightweight version of DTLS protocol for supporting security services in IoT environments. However, the protocol can not cover up all of very constrained devices. To solve the problem, we propose a scheme which tends to support mutual authentication and session key agreement between devices that contain only a single crypto primitive module such as hash function or cipher function because of resource constrained property. The proposed scheme enhances performance by pre-computing a session key and is able to defend various attacks.
