With the rapidity of the development on electronic technology, various mobile devices are produced to make human life more convenient. The user is always in constant search of middle with ease of deployment. Therefore, the development of infrastructure and application with ubiquitous nature gets a growing keen interest. Recently, the number of pervasive network services is expanding into ubiquitous computing environment. To get desired services, user presents personal details about this identity, location and private information. The information transmitted and the services provided in pervasive computing environments (PCEs) are exposed to eavesdropping and various attacks. Therefore, the need to protect this environment from illegal accesses has become extremely urgent. In this paper, we propose an anonymous authentication and access control scheme to secure the interaction between mobile users and services in PCEs. The proposed scheme integrates a biometric authentication in PKI model. The proposed authentication aims to secure access remote in PCE for guaranteeing reliability and availability. Our authentication concept can offer pervasive network service users convenience and security.

최근 무선 센서 네트워크 (Wireless Sensor Network)에서 Actor Network 등의 이동성이 있는 센서에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 대부분의 센서 간의 인증 및 키 교환 기술에 대한 연구는 고정된 센서만 있는 환경만을 고려하고 있으며, 이동성이 있는 센서 노드가 있는 환경에 적용하는 경우 통신 및 연산 부하가 급증하기 ��문에, 자원 제약이 있는 센서 네트워크 환경에서 적용하기 부적합하다. 따라서 본 논문을 통해 최초 인증 이후 재인증 시 자원 이용을 최소화 할 수 있는 이동성이 있는 센서 환경에 적합한 효율적인 센서 인증 및 키 교환 기술을 제안한다.

Security weakness in PLC network can be made up for by authentication and management scheme of PLC modules introduced in this paper. Each PLC module must pass the authentication procedure to work normally in PLC network as soon as being installed in the spot. Based on this scheme, all PLC devices are registered, certified, and managed automatically in central control center - AMR server, authentication server, NMS server, and DB server.

In IEEE 802.15.4 (Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) specification, a successful reception and validation of a data or MAC command frame can be confirmed with an acknowledgment. However, the specification does not support security for acknowledgment frame; the lack of a MAC covering acknowledgments allows an adversary to forge an acknowledgment for any frame. This paper proposes an identity authentication mechanism at the link layer for acknowledgment frame in IEEE 802.15.4 network. With the proposed mechanism there is only three bits for authentication, which can greatly reduce overhead. The encrypted bit stream for identity authentication will be transmitted to device by coordinator within association process. Statistical method indicates that our mechanism is successful in handling MAC layer attack.

According to brilliant development of smart devices, many related services are being devised. And, almost every service is designed to provide user-centric services based on personal information. In this situation, to prevent unintentional leakage of personal information is essential. Conventionally, ID and Password system is used for the user authentication. This is a convenient method, but it has a vulnerability that can cause problems due to information leakage. To overcome these problem, many methods related to face recognition is being researched. Through this paper, we investigated the trend of user authentication through biometrics and a representative model for face recognition techniques. One is DeepFace of FaceBook and another is FaceNet of Google. Each model is based on the concept of Deep Learning and Distance Metric Learning, respectively. And also, they are based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. In the future, further research is needed on the equipment configuration requirements for practical applications and ways to provide actual personalized services.

In this proposal, we aim to enhance the security of systems accounts by improving the authentication techniques. We mainly intend to enhance the accuracy of the one-time passwords via including voice biometric and recognition techniques. The recognition will be performed on the server to avoid redirecting voice signatures by hackers. Further, to enhance the privacy of data and to ensure that the active user is legitimate, we propose to periodically update the activated sessions using a user-selected biometric factor. Finally, we recommend adding a pre-transaction re-authentication which will guarantee enhanced security for sensitive operations. The main novelty of this proposal is the use of the voice factor in the verification of the one-time password and the various levels of authentications for a full-security guarantee. The improvement provided by this proposal is mainly designed for sensitive applications. From conducted simulations, findings prove the efficiency of the proposed scheme in reducing the probability of hacking users' sessions.

In mobile communication, there are various types of handoff for the support of all forms of mobility. Proxy mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) enables local network-based mobility management of a mobile node without any effect of mobility-related signaling. Recently, PMIPv6 has been considered for supporting mobility management in LTE/SAE-based mobile networks. To support seamless mobility in heterogeneous mobile networks, the overall cost of handoffs needs to be minimized and the procedure should be guaranteed to be secure. However, the reduction of the authentication cost has not been fully investigated to provide seamless connectivity when mobile users perform a handoff between the PMIPv6 domains. This paper proposes secure pre-authentication schemes, completing an authentication procedure before performing a handoff, for a fast handoff in PMIPv6. Analytic models have been used for measuring the authentication latency and for the overhead cost analysis. In addition to providing fast authentication, the proposed pre-authentication schemes can prevent threats such as replay attacks and key exposure.

A novel authentication mechanism is biometric authentication where users are identified by their measurable human characteristics, such as fingerprint, voiceprint, and iris scan. The technology of biometrics is becoming a popular method for engineers to design a more secure user authentication scheme. In terms of physiological and behavioral human characteristics, biometrics is used as a form of identity access management and access control, and it services to identity individuals in groups that are under surveillance. In this article, we review the biometric-based authentication protocol by Althobati et al. and provide a security analysis on the scheme. Our analysis shows that Althobati et al.'s scheme does not guarantee server-to-user authentication. The contribution of the current work is to demonstrate this by mounting threat of data integrity and bypassing the gateway node on Althobati et al.'s scheme. In addition, we analysis the security vulnerabilities of Althobati et al.'s protocol.

TETRA 시스템에서는 인가된 단말기만이 망에 접속하도록 하기 위해 단말기 인증 서비스를 제공한다. 단말기 인증이란 Challenge-response 프로토콜에 의해 단말기와 인증센터에 사전에 공유된 인증키가 일치하는지를 확인하는 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 TETRA 인증 시스템에서 인증키 생성/분배/주입 모델을 분석하고, 인증키의 노출로 인한 복제단말기의 위협을 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 ad-hoc wireless network에서 상호간의 사전지식 없이 상대편을 authenticate하는 프로토콜을 제시한다. 기존에 Dirk Balfanz et al에 의해 제시된 변형된interactive Guy Fawkes protocol은 해쉬함수의, 전달하고자 하는 메시지와 그 authenticator의 해쉬값을 보내고, 다음 단계에서 그 원본을 밝히는 원리를 이용한 것으로, PKI 없이 해쉬함수 만으로 상호인증과 메시지의 무결성을 보장함으로써 전반적인 ID 체계와 public key encryption, decryption 연산에 대한 부담을 덜었다. 하지만, 이것은 여전히 eavesdropping같은 passive attack에 노출되어 있다[1]. 본 논문에서는 zero-knowledge 기반의 프로토콜을 이용하여 상호 정보를 교환할 수 없는 환경에서도 안전하게 상호 authentication을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제시한다.
