Modern users are intensifying their use of online services every day. In addition, hackers are attempting to execute advanced attacks to steal personal information protected using existing authentication technologies. However, existing authentication methods require an explicit authentication procedure for the user, and do not conduct identity verification in the middle of the authentication session. In this paper, we introduce an implicit continuous authentication technology to overcome the limitations of existing authentication technology. Implicit continuous authentication is a technique for continuously authenticating users without explicit intervention by utilizing their behavioral and environmental information. This can improve the level of security by verifying the user's identity during the authentication session without the burden of an explicit authentication procedure. In addition, we briefly introduce the definition, key features, applicable algorithms, and recent research trends for various authentication technologies that can be used as an implicit continuous authentication technology.

As one of the four basic technologies of IOT (Internet of Things), M2M technology whose advance could influence on the technology of Internet of Things has a rapid development. Mobile Payment is one of the most widespread applications in M2M. Due to applying wireless network in Mobile Payment, the security issues based on wireless network have to be solved. The technologies applied in solutions generally include two sorts, encryption mechanism and authentication mechanism, the focus in this paper is the authentication mechanism of Mobile Payment. In this paper, we consider that there are four vital things in the authentication mechanism of Mobile Payment: two-way authentication, re-authentication, roaming authentication and inside authentication. Two-way authentication is to make the mobile device and the center system trust each other, and two-way authentication is the foundation of the other three. Re-authentication is to re-establish the active communication after the mobile subscriber changes his point of attachment to the network. Inside authentication is to prevent the attacker from obtaining the privacy via attacking the mobile device if the attacker captures the mobile device. Roaming authentication is to prove the mobile subscriber's legitimate identity to the foreign agency when he roams into a foreign place, and roaming authentication can be regarded as the integration of the above three. After making a simulation of our proposed authentication mechanism and analyzing the existed schemes, we summarize that the authentication mechanism based on the mentioned above in this paper and the encryption mechanism establish the integrate security framework of Mobile Payment together. This makes the parties of Mobile Payment apply the services which Mobile Payment provides credibly.

Nowadays, various type of technologies are used for user authentication, such as knowledge based(ID/PW, etc.) authentication, biometric based(Iris/fingerprint/vein recognition) authentication, ownership based(OTP, security card, etc.) authentication. ID/PW authentication technology, a knowledge based authentication, despite the advantages of low in implementation and maintenance costs and being familiar to users, there are disadvantages of vulnerable to hacking attacks, Other authentication methods solve the vulnerability in ID/PW authentication technology, but they have high initial investment cost and maintenance cost and troublesome problem of reissuance. In this paper, we proposed to improve security and convenience over existing ID/PW based authentication technology, and to secure user authentication without restriction on the devices used for authentication.

With the proliferation of mobile terminals, use of the Internet in mobile environments is becoming more common. To support mobility in these terminals, Mobile IPv4 is proposed and represents the standard in IPv4 environments. Authentication should be mandatory, because mobile terminals can utilize Internet services in any foreign domain. Mobile IPv4 provides symmetric key based authentication using the default HMAC-MD5. However, symmetric key based authentication creates a key distribution problem. To solve this problem, public key based authentication mechanisms have been proposed. In this paper, the performance of each of these mechanisms is evaluated. The results present that, among these mechanisms, partial certificate based authentication has superior performance, and certificate based authentication has the worst performance. Although current public key based authentication mechanisms have lower performance than symmetric key based authentication, this paper presents the possibility that public key based authentication mechanisms may be used for future mobile terminal authentication.

The interface between servers and clients and system management in the cloud computing environment is different from the existing computing environment. The technology for information protection. Management and user authentication has become an important issue. For providing a more convenient service to users, SSO technology is applied to this cloud computing service. In the SSO service environment, system access using a single key facilitates access to several servers at the same time. This SSO authentication service technology is vulnerable to security of several systems, once the key is exposed. In this paper, we propose a technology to solve problems, which might be caused by single key authentication in SSO-based cloud computing access. This is a distributed agent authentication technology using a multiple SSO agent to reinforce user authentication using a single key in the SSO service environment. For user authentication reinforcement, phased access is applied and trackable log information is used when there is a security problem in system to provide a safe cloud computing service.

Lamport firstly suggested password base authentication scheme and then, similar authentication schemes have been studied. Due to the development of Internet network technology, remote user authentication using smart card has been studied. Li et al. analyzed authentication scheme of Chen et al. and then, Li et al. found out the security weakness of Chen et al.'s scheme such forward secrecy and the wrong password login problem, and proposed an a new smart card based user password authentication scheme. But Liu et al. found out that Li et al.'s scheme still had security problems such an insider attack and man-in-the-middle attack and then Liu et al. proposed an efficient and secure smart card based password authentication scheme. This paper analyzed Liu et al.'s authentication and found out that Liu et al.'s authentication has security weakness such as no perfect forward secrecy, off-line password guessing attack, smart-card loss attack, and no anonymity.

Blockchain technology provides distributed trust structure; with this, we can implement a system that cannot be forged and make Smart Contract possible. With blockchain technology emerging as next generation security technology, there have been studies on authentication and security services that ensure integrity. Although Internet-based services have been going with user authentication with password, the information can be stolen through a client and a network and the server is exposed to hacking. For the reason, we suggest blockchain technology and OTP based authentication mechanism to ensure integrity. In particular, the Two-Factor Authentication is able to ensure secure authentication by combining OTP authentication and biometric authentication without using password. As the suggested authentication applies multiple hash functions and generates transactions to be placed in blocks in order for biometric information not to be identified, it is protected from server attacks by being separate from the server.

A personal authentication system based on biosignals has received increasing attention due to its relatively high security as compared to traditional authentication systems based on a key and password. Electrocardiography (ECG) measured from the chest or wrist is one of the widely used biosignals to develop a personal authentication system. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using similar ECG measured behind the ears to develop a personal authentication system. To this end, similar ECGs were measured from thirty subjects using a pair of three electrodes attached behind each of the ears during resting state during which the standard Lead-I ECG was also simultaneously measured from both wrists as baseline ECG. The three ECG components, Q, R, and S, were extracted for each subject as classification features, and authentication accuracy was estimated using support vector machine (SVM) based on a 5×5-fold cross-validation. The mean authentication accuracies of Lead I-ECG and similar ECG were 90.41 ± 8.26% and 81.15 ± 7.54%, respectively. Considering a chance level of 3.33% (=1/30), the mean authentication performance of similar ECG could demonstrate the feasibility of using similar ECG measured behind the ears on the development of a personal authentication system.
