As a new type of wireless network, Ad hoc network does not depend on any pre-founded infrastructure, and it has no centralized control unit. The computation and transmission capability of each node are limited. In this paper, a self-updating one-time password mutual authentication protocol for Ad hoc network is proposed. The most significant feature is that a hash chain can update by itself smoothly and securely through capturing the secure bit of the tip. The updating process does not need any additional protocol or re-initialization process and can be continued indefinitely to give rise to an infinite length hash chain, that is, the times of authentication is unlimited without reconstructing a new hash chain. Besides, two random variable are added into the messages interacted during the mutual authentication, enabling the protocol to resist man-in-the-middle attack. Also, the user's identity information is introduced into the seed of hash chain, so the scheme achieves anonymity and traceability at the same time.

The method of accessing multiple control systems in the OT control network centered on operation technology uses the operator authentication technology of each control system. An example is ID/PW operator authentication technology. In this case, since the OT control network is composed of multiple control systems, operator authentication technology must be applied to each control system. Therefore, the operator must bear the inconvenience of having to manage authentication information for each control system he manages. To solve these problems, SSO technology is used in business-oriented IT networks. However, if this is introduced into the OT control network as it is, the characteristics of the limited size of the OT control network and rapid operator authentication are not reflected, so it cannot be seen as a realistic alternative. In this paper, a public key-based authentication mechanism was newly proposed as an operator authentication technology to solve this problem. In other words, an integrated public key certificate that applies equally to all control systems in the OT control network was issued and used to access all control systems, thereby simplifying the authentication information management and making access to the control system more efficient and secure.

The home network environment can be defined as a network environment, connecting digital home devices such as computer systems, digital appliances, and mobile devices. In this kind of home network environments, there will be numerous local/remote interactions to monitor and control the home network devices and the home gateway. Such an environment may result in communication bottleneck. By applying the mobile agents that can migrate among the computing devices autonomously and work on behalf of the user, remote interactions and network traffics can be reduced enormously. The mobile agent authentication is necessary to apply mobile agent concept to the home network environments, as a prerequisite technology for authorization or access control to the home network devices and resources. The existing mobile agent systems have mainly used the public key based authentication scheme, which is not suitable to the home network environments, composed of digital devices of limited computation capability. In this paper, we propose a shared key based mobile agent authentication scheme for single home domain and expand the scheme to multiple domain environments with the public key based authentication scheme. Application of the shared key encryption scheme to the single domain mobile agent authentication enables to authenticate the mobile agent with less overhead than the public key based authentication scheme.

Wireless mesh network, which is an access network technology, adopts ubiquitous features of ad-hoc network that includes capabilities of self-configuration and self-management. This paper proposes a scheme which enables nodes along route in wireless mesh network to authenticate data and verify data integrity. The scheme distinguishes infra-node, which is a network device used to form mesh network, and user node in ad-hoc network, which operates functions as a sender, receiver or relayer, to deploy different authentication scheme. That is, hop-based authentication scheme along route forming wireless backbone differs from authentication scheme for user nodes in route over MANET. The proposed scheme is less complex than previously proposed schemes from the repects of security setup procedures and managements. In addition, the scheme is able to reduce transmission delay from a source to a destination owing to fast authentication over wireless backbone.

User authentication is the first step to network security. There are lots of authentication types, and more than one authentication method works together for user's authentication in the network. Except for biometric authentication, most authentication methods can be copied, or someone else can adopt and abuse someone else's credential method. Thus, more than one authentication method must be used for user authentication. However, more credential makes system degrade and inefficient as they log on the system. Therefore, without tradeoff performance with efficiency, this research proposed user's behavior based authentication for secure communication, and it will improve to establish a secure and efficient communication.

Software process (SP) authentication is a certification system designed in order to improve software process and ensure software reliability of the Korean small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It is composed of 3 grades, 17 evaluation items and 70 detailed evaluation items (software process). In order to certificate grade 2, 42 detailed evaluation items must be satisfied. In order to certificate grade 3, all 70 detailed evaluation items must be satisfied. SMEs are more vulnerable to manpower and material resources than the major company. Therefore, it is difficult for SMEs to invest in the long term to improve the software process. If we can provide the core evaluation items to SMEs, SMEs will be able to improve software quality more efficiently and effectively. It can be used as a short way to acquire SP authentication. The evaluation items of SP are defined as influencing each other. Therefore, the core evaluation items might be established using related techniques. Although we searched for previous researches and related informations, the associated study was insufficient. In this study, ANP (Analytic Network Process) technique was applied, and the core evaluation items of SP authentication were established. SMEs will be able to acquire SP authentication more easily using the core evaluation items. Finally, we expect that this study will be used as a basis material for creating the SP 2.0 version.

In the virtual home environment (VHE), which was proposed to offer global roaming and personal service environment portability, user's profiles and service logics are conveyed from home network to visited network to provide services at the visited network. Because user's profiles and service logics may contain confidential information, some procedures for mutual authentication among entities for offering confidence are needed. For these issues, we propose and analyze three 3-Party mutual authentication Protocols adaptable to the VHE in 3G ; password based mutual authentication protocol, mutual authentication protocol with CHAP and key exchange and mutual authentication protocol with trusted third party.

Authentication mechanisms coupled with strong encryption techniques are used for network security purposes; however, given sufficient time, well-equipped intruders are successful for compromising system security. The authentication protocols often fail when they are analysed critically. Formal approaches have emerged to analyse protocol failures. In this study, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) which is an abstract language designed especially for the description of communication patterns is employed. Rank functions are also used for verification and analysis which are helpful to establish that some critical information is not available to the intruder. In order to establish this, by assigning a value or rank to each critical information, it is shown that all the critical information that can be generated within the network have a particular characterizing property. This paper presents an application of rank functions approach to an authentication protocol that combines delaying the decryption process with timed authentication while keys are dynamically renewed under pseudo-secure situations. The analysis and verification of authentication properties and results are presented and discussed.

Open System Authentication Method, Shared Key Method, Mac Based Authentication Method are very hard to use in wireless network that needs security. So now, many researches have been performed about 802.1x and user authentication method applying PKI. but certificate verification protocol has been used abolished list called CRL since it's first usage of PKI, there were still has a problem about distribution point. This paper applied CVS to use CA direct not to use CRL and OSCP server in order to improve this problems. Also It suggested the system that can make authentication steps more shorter using authentication server and Mutual authentication system by public certificate(small size/low speed wireless terminal can access to wireless network fast and safely)
