Mobile agent systems offer a new paradigm for distributed computation and a one of solution for limitation of existent Client-server model. Mobile agent systems provide interface that can migrate from host to host in a heterogenous network. For secure execution, it must solve security problem of mobile code before. In this paper, we are propose the protocol that applied signature technique and hash chain technique. This protocol enable one to offer forward integrity, non-repudiation, and forgery detection, when mobile agents are perform the task by migrating a network.

인간의 가장 큰 욕구인 편의와 안전을 위해 우리의 곁에서 떨어질 수 없는 것이 차량이다. 그러므로 차량을 이용하면서 겪게 되는 안전과 편의 또한 떼어놓을 수 없는 문제 중에 하나다. 그 편의와 안전을 위해 VANET이 활발히 개발 중이다. VANET은 차량에서 사용되는 근거리/중거리 통신용 무선 프로토콜로써 차량 간 통신인 V2V, 차량과 네트워크 기반구조 간의 통신인 V2I를 지원하는 네트워크로써 다양한 서비스를 제공한다. 이에 학문적, 상업적으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 네트워크 기반의 기술인만큼 사용자의 프라이버시 침해가 큰 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이 중에서도 사용자의 익명성, 추적성, 객체인증에 관한 Location Privacy는 개발과정에서 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 VANET에서의 Location Privacy 보호에 대한 기술들의 개략적인 내용을 서술하고, 장단점을 분석하였다. Location Privacy 보호를 위한 기술에는 해쉬통합을 이용한 보호기술, MAC-체인을 이용한 보호기술, 그리고 세션 키 교환을 이용한 보호기술이 있다. 세 가지 기술 중에서 MAC-체인을 이용한 기술이 Location Privacy 보호에 가장 적합하다.

In this paper we propose a new efficient authentication protocol that reduces overheads of computation for digital signature generation/verification on mobile devices in the Personal Area Network (PAN). In particular, we focus on eliminating the traditional public key operations on mobile devices without any assistance of a signature server. Moreover, the proposed protocol provides a simplified procedure for certificate status management to alleviate communication and computational costs on mobile devices in the PAN.

Mobile IP 는 모바일 노드(MN)의 이동성을 지원하기 위한 프로토콜로, 등록 프로토콜을 통해 이동 중에도 지속적인 서비스를 제공받게 된다. 등록 프로토콜은 무선 환경에서 다양한 MN 을 대상으로 수행되기 때문에, 반드시 인증절차가 필요하며, 인증을 위한 키 관리를 위해 AAA 를 도입하는 것이 일반적인 접근방식이다. 본 논문에서는 AAA 도입한 기본적인 Mobile IP 모델에 본 논문에서 새롭게 제안하는 계층적 키 관리기법을 도입하고, AAA 지연을 최소화하는 효율적이고 안전한 등록 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 제안 프로토콜은 해쉬체인을 이용하여 차후 MN 의 네트워크 서비스 사용에 대한 부인방지 서비스도 제공된다.

In this paper, "Q-Bone", a 3^rd generation blockchain platform with enhanced security and flexibility, was developed. As a 3^rd generation blockchain platform, it exploits BP (block producer) to increase processing speed. It has many advantages as follows. It improves both security and speed by mixing RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and AES (advanced encryption standard). It improves flexibility by exploiting gateway to convert between apps and blockchain with different programming language. It increases processing speed by combining whole transactions into one block and distribute it when too many transactions occur. It improves search speed by inserting sequence hash into transaction data. It was implemented and applied to pet communication service and academy-instructor-student matching service, and it was verified to work correctly and effectively. Its processing speed is 3,357 transactions/second, which shows excellent performance.

In this paper, requirements of efficient group key creation in multiple hierarchy structure environment with clear distinction of hierarchical roles within organizations are explained and the method of creating a group key that satisfies such requirements is proposed. The proposed method creates the group key through logical sum operation of hierarchy identifier created using uni-directional hash chain and group identifier randomly created according to the access right. The problem of excessive possession of key information by upper group users in the existing static group key creation technique was resolved. At the same time, lower group users were prevented from deducing key information of upper group users. In addition, as a result of comparative analysis performed with an experiment on existing super group key creation technique and multiple hierarchy group key method, the proposed method was found to be equivalent or superior to existing method in terms of various items including the total number of keys created, the number of keys possessed by users, the number of keys used for encoding and decoding of information, and expandability of keys.

Recently, as cloud services become popular with general users, users' information is freely transmitted and received among the information used in the cloud environment, so security problems related to user information disclosure are occurring. we propose a method to secure personal information of multiple users by making personal information stored in the cloud server and a key for accessing the shared information so that the privacy information of the multi users using the cloud service can be prevented in advance do. The first key used in the proposed scheme is a key for accessing the user 's personal information, and is used to operate the information related to the personal information in the form of a multi - layer. The second key is the key to accessing information that is open to other users than to personal information, and is necessary to associate with other users of the cloud. The proposed scheme is constructed to anonymize personal information with multiple hash chains to process multiple kinds of information used in the cloud environment. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method works by allowing third parties to safely access and process the personal information of multiple users processed by the multi - type structure, resulting in a reduction of the personal information management cost by 13.4%. The efficiency of the proposed method is 19.5% higher than that of the existing method.

It is difficult to apply conventional security algorithms to the wireless sensor networks composed of nodes that have resource constraints such as memory, computing, power resources limitation. Generally, shared key based algorithms with low resource consumption and short key length are used for broadcast packets in authentication of base station. But it is not suitable that all the nodes hold the same shared key only for packet authentication. Recently, broadcast authentication algorithm for sensor network is proposed, which uses key chain generation by one-way hash function, Message Authentication Code generation by each keys of the key chains and delayed key disclosure. It provides suitable authentication method for wireless sensor networks but may leads to inefficient consequence with respect to network conditions such as broadcast ratio, key chain level, and so on. In this paper, we propose an improved broadcast authentication algorithm that uses key chain link and periodical key disclosure. We evaluated the performance of proposed algorithm using TOSSIM(TinyOS Simulator) in TinyOS. The results show that the proposed algorithm ensures low authentication delay, uses memory and computing resource of receiving nodes efficiently and reduces the amount of packet transmitting/receiving.

Recetly, the term Personal Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) was introduced to supprot reliable and authenticated service in a Personal Area Network (PAN). However, traditional public key signature schemes and certificate status management are not suitable for a PAN environment since mobile devices that constitute the PAN have limited computing capability. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that efficiently provides signature generation and certificate status management for mobile devices. Based on hash chain technique, we intend to reduce computational overhead on signature generation, and further, to minimize communication overhead for managing certificate status.

This paper proposes a secure data forwarding scheme on source routing-based ad-hoc networks. The scheme uses two hash-key chains generated from a trusted third party to generate Message Authentication Codes for data integrity The selected MAC keys are delivered to the ad-hoc node using a pre-shared secret between the trusted third party and a node. The proposed scheme does not require the PKI, or the provisioning of the pre-shared secrets among the ad-hoc nodes.
