Due to the recent developments of various smart devices, U-healthcare services using these appliances has increased. However, the security of U-healthcare services is a very important issue since healthcare services contain highly sensitive and private personal health information. In order to handle the security issues, the functionality of encrypting medical information must be provided, and an encryption key exchange method is necessary. In this paper, we propose a key exchange protocol by utilizing smart devices for secure U-healthcare services. The proposed protocol has been designed based on the elliptic curve based public key cryptography, providing high level security for smart devices by using short keys. Moreover, in order to strengthen user authentication and security, a smart watch is used as a complementary device, whenever the key exchange protocol is performed.

As computers and networks become popular, distributing information on the Internet is common in our daily life. In the past, e-mail has been the primary choice of exchanging information but messengers are gaining popularity abroad and domestically because of their nature of getting immediate responses. Information leakage by invasion that is enemy of evil in communication of communications division Server and Agent between each agents that become burden of communication for effective administration of data for most of existing messenger is becoming an issue. In this paper, we design a secure messenger system that could be obtained maximum security. It use ECC based on ElGamal methodology using PKI for secure communication. For the message encryption and decryption between the same group non, each group is kept distinct by drawing an elliptic curve and an arbitrary point is chosen on the curve.

This paper proposes a group key design based on ECDH(Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman) which guarantees secure V2V and V2I communication. The group key based on ECDH generates the VGK(Vehicular Group key) which is a group key between vehicles, the GGK(Global Group Key) which is a group key between vehicle groups, and the VRGK(Vehicular and RSU Group key) which is a group key between vehicle and RSUs with ECDH algorithm without an AAA server being used. As the VRGK encrypted with RGK(RSU Group Key) is transferred from the current RSU to the next RSU through a secure channel, a perfect forward secret security is provided. In addition, a Sybil attack is detected by checking whether the vehicular that transferred a message is a member of the group with a group key. And the transmission time of messages and the overhead of a server can be reduced because an unnecessary network traffic doesn't happen by means of the secure communication between groups.

PKI-based public key scheme is outstanding in terms of authenticity and privacy. Nevertheless its application brings big burden due to the certificate/key management. It is difficult to apply it to limited computing devices in WSN because of its high encryption complexity. The Bilinear Pairing emerged from the original IBE to eliminate the certificate, is a future significant cryptosystem as based on the DDH(Decisional DH) algorithm which is significant in terms of computation and secure enough for authentication, as well as secure and faster. The practical EC Weil Pairing presents that its encryption algorithm is simple and it satisfies IND/NM security constraints against CCA. The Random Oracle Model based IBE PKG is appropriate to the structure of our target system with one secret file server in the operational perspective. Our work proposes modification of the Weil Pairing as proper to the closed network for secret file distribution[2]. First we proposed the improved one computing both encryption and message/user authentication as fast as O(DES) level, in which our scheme satisfies privacy, authenticity and integrity. Secondly as using the public key ID as effective as PKI, our improved IBE variant reduces the key exposure risk.

In this contributions, we propose a new MSB(most significant bit) algorithm based on AOP(All One Polynomial) and two parallel semi-systolic architectures to computes $AB^2$over finite field $GF(2^m)$. The proposed architectures are based on standard basis and use the property of irreducible AOP(All One Polynomial) which is all coefficients of 1. The proposed parallel semi-systolic architecture(PSM) has the critical path of $D_{AND2^+}D_{XOR2}$ per cell and the latency of m+1. The modified parallel semi-systolic architecture(WPSM) has the critical path of $D_{XOR2}$ per cell and has the same latency with PSM. The proposed two architectures, PSM and MPSM, have a low latency and a small hardware complexity compared to the previous architectures. They can be used as a basic architecture for exponentiation, division, and inversion. Since the proposed architectures have regularity, modularity and concurrency, they are suitable for VLSI implementation. They can be used as a basic architecture for algorithms, such as the Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme, the Digital Signature Algorithm(DSA), and the ElGamal encryption scheme which are needed exponentiation operation. The application of the algorithms can be used cryptosystem implementation based on elliptic curve.

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.
