The 5G network is a next-generation converged network that combines various ICT technologies to realize the need for high speed, hyper connection and ultra low delay, and various efforts have been made to address the security vulnerabilities of the previous generation mobile networks. However, the standards released so far still have potential security vulnerabilities, such as USIM deception and replication attack, message re-transmission attack, and race-condition attack. In order to solve these security problems, this paper proposes a new 5G-AKA protocol with PUF technology, which is a physical unclonable function. The proposed PUF-based 5G-AKA improves the security vulnerabilities identified so far using the device-specific response for a specific challenge and hash function. This approach enables a strong white-list policy through the addition of inexpensive PUF circuits when utilizing 5G networks in areas where security is critical. In addition, since additional cryptographic algorithms are not applied to existing protocols, there is relatively little burden on increasing computational costs or increasing authentication parameter storage.

The main idea is to protect the signer of a document against the document being digitally distributed without the cooperation of signer. This paper proposes a new scheme of undeniable signature, which is so effective and improved D. Chaum's scheme. And our scheme which is zero-knowledge proved by using one-way function and partition - selection method, shows that its communication(challenge-response) only needs much fewer times during the confirmation protocol and disavowal protocol respectively, being very useful for wireless network environment. In the meantime our scheme allows the verifier to verify that the signature is valid, while the signer doesn't know the original message and the signature, to preserve the privacy of the verifier.

In wireless sensor networks, cluster structure brings on many advantages such as load balancing, energy saving, and distributed key management, and so on. To transform a physical network into the cluster structure, sensor nodes should invoke a cluster formation protocol. During the protocol operation, if some nodes are compromised and they do not conform to the protocol, an inconsistency of membership in a cluster happen. This splits the cluster and consequently increases the number of clusters and decreases the number of members in the cluster. In this paper, we propose a scheme which well copes with such a problem. First, our scheme generates two hop clusters where hop distance between any two nodes is at most two. Besides, our scheme employs verification of two hop distant nodes to prevent the cluster split induced by compromised nodes. Last, our scheme mainly employs broadcast transmissions to reduce energy consumption of nodes. Simulation results have proven that our scheme reduces the number of clusters and more secure and energy-efficient than other scheme.

In this paper, a new routing protocol is proposed to manage selfish nodes which make a strategic choice to maximize only their own profits. To provide incentives to nodes on the path, VCG mechanism is introduced. Therefore, based on the collaborative actions among nodes, the entire network performance can be improved. With a simulation study, the proposed scheme can approximate an optimized solution while ensuring a well-balanced network performance under widely diverse network environments.

Integrated heterogeneous database systems provide the unified interface for users and applications today in order to access the underlying diverse data sources located in different sites. The multiple heterogeneous data sources have the different and specialized data structures and transaction processing capabilities. Because of local autonomy, the local system does not have the capability of cooperation to control the global transaction. Hence designing the global transaction manager with supporting the global serializability is difficult task. To resolve the well-known indirect conflict, we define the global transaction model by using the characteristics of global integrity constraints. And then we propose the site-locking operation and its protocol to manage the global transaction. The correctness and analysis of our site-locking protocol is proved and performance gain over the related other methods is also estimated in this paper.

Secret sharing scheme is a cryptographic protocol in which a dealer distribures shares of a secret among a set of participants such that only authorized set of participants can recover the secret at a later. Secret sharing is an important cryptographic primitive in management of secret information, secure multiparty protocol and group-oriented cryptography, etc. In this paper, we propose an efficient, on-line secret sharing scheme based on one-way hash function. This scheme provides the property to share multiple secrets and allows participants to be added/deleted dynamically, without having to redistributo new shares. Proposed scheme has advantage to detect cheating and identify of all cheater, regardless of then number. Frthermore, it is more eficient than previous schemes.

Close collaboration among businesses is required in B2B EC environment. Furthermore, emergency requests or critical information among businesses should be processed in an immediate mode. Most current systems, however, due to firewalls for the systems' security and autonomy, can not handle these requirements appropriately, but handle them in an ad hoc manner In this paper a method of timely collaboration among businesses and an active functionality component to support it in B2B EC environment are proposed. Since the active functionality component supports high level ECA rule patterns and event-based immediate processing, system administrators and programmers can easily program and maintain the timely collaboration independently to the application logic. The proposed active functionality component uses HTTP protocol to be applied through firewalls and is designed using a commercial DBMS for practical purpose.

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an agent knowledge and QoS tuning methodology to improve the flexibility of agent-based flexible video-conference system. In order to improve the flexibility during video-conferencing, we propose a new T-INTER(Tuning-INTER) architecture of knowledge part in video-conference manager (VCM) agent in which an automatic QoS parameter tuning method is imbedded. The flexible video-conference system structured based on the proposed architecture can cope with the changes in service quality required by users. The VCM agent cooperates with other agents by protocols and executes the automatic QoS parameter tuning task whenever needed. By the tuned parameters, the system is able to flexibly cope with the internal or external changes and the burden of users can be decreased. In the experimental section, it is shown that our proposed system outperforms the existing system.
