Various researchers conducted the research on two-factor authentication suitable for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) after Das first proposed two-factor authentication combining the smart card and password. After then, To improve the security of user authentication, elliptic curve cryptography(ECC)-based authentication protocols have been proposed. Jiang et al. proposed a privacy-aware two-factor authentication protocol based on ECC for WSM for resolving various problems of ECC-based authentication protocols. However, Jiang et al.'s protocol has the vulnerabilities on a lack of mutual authentication, a risk of SID modification and a lack of sensor anonymity, and user's ID exposed on sensor node Therefore, this paper proposed security enhanced privacy-aware two-factor authentication protocol for wireless sensor networks to solve the problem of Jiang et al.'s protocol, and security analysis was conducted for the proposed protocol.

If protocol has fast operations and short key length, it can be efficient user authentication protocol. Lenstra and Verheul proposed XTR. XTR have short key length and fast computing speed. Therefore, this can be used usefully in complex arithmetic. In this paper, to design efficient user authentication protocol we used a subgroup of Galois Field to problem domain. Proposed protocol does not use GF(p/sup 6/) that is existent finite field, and uses GF(p²) that is subgroup and solves problem. XTR-ElGamal based user authentication protocol reduced bit number that is required when exchange key by doing with upside. Also, proposed protocol provided easy calculation and execution by reducing required overhead when calculate. In this paper, we designed authentication protocol with y/sub i/ = g/sup b.p/sup 2(i-1)//ㆍv mol q, 1(equation omitted) 3 that is required to do user authentication.

Recently, the security for RFID/USN environment is divided into network security and RFID security. The authentication protocol design for RFID security is studied to protect user privacy in RFID system. However, the study of efficient authentication protocol for RFID system is not satisfy a security for low-cost RFID tag and user privacy. Therefore, this paper proposes a secure matrix-based RFID authentication protocol that decrease communication overhead and computation. In result, the Matrix-based RFID authentication protocol is an effective authentication protocol compare with HB and $HB^+$ in traffic analysis attack and trace location attack.

In public network, user authentication is important security technology. Especially, password-based authentication method is used the most widely in distributed environments, and there are many authentication methods. Their SPMA protocol indicates vulnerability about problem that NSPA protocol does not offer mutual authentication, and proposed Strong Password Mutual Authentication protocol with mutual authentication. However, SPMA protocol has vulnerability of replay attack. In the paper, we analyzed vulnerability to replay attack of SPMA protocol. And we also proposed Improved Strong Password Mutual Authentication protocol to secure on replay attack with same efficiency.

The air interface supports a security layer which provides the key exchange protocol, authentication protocol, and encryption protocol. The authentication is performed on the encryption protocol packet. The authentication protocol header or trailer may contain the digital signature that is used to authenticate a portion of the authentication protocol packet that is authenticated. The encryption protocol may add a trailer to hide the actual length of the plaintext of padding to be used by the encryption algorithm. The encryption protocol header may contain variables such as the initialization vector (IV) to be used by the encryption protocol. It is our aim to firstly compute the session key created from the D H key exchange algorithm, and thereof the authenticating key and the encryption key being generated from the session key.

In this paper, we define two security concepts, “non-computable security” and “distribution security”, about authentication information committed to a authentication server without any trustee, and propose an authenticatied key exchange protocol based on password, satisfying “distribution security”. We call it MAP(Muti-Server Authentication Protocol based on Password) and show that SSSO(Secure Single Sign On) using MAP solves a problem of SSO(Single Sign On) using authentication protocol based on password with a trustee.

Ubiquitous sensor network is to manage and collect information autonomously by communicating user around device. Security requirements in Ubiquitous based on sensor network are as follows: a location of sensor, a restriction of performance by low electric power, communication by broadcasting, etc. We propose new mutual authentication protocol using a low power of sensor node. This protocol solved a low power problem by reducing calculation overload of sensor node using two steps, RM(Register Manager) and AM(Authentication Manager). Many operations performing the sensor node itself have a big overload in low power node. Our protocol reduces the operation number from sensor node. Also it is mutual authentication protocol in Ubiquitous network, which satisfies mutual authentication, session key establishment, user and device authentication, MITM attack, confidentiality, integrity, and is safe the security enemy with solving low electric power problem.

There are many investigations about the security on RFID system to protect privacy. It is important to mutual authentication of the security on RFID system. The protocol for mutual authentication use light-weight operation such as XOR operation, hash function and re-encryption. However, the protocol for authentication and privacy is required more complicated cryptography system. In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication protocol using finite field GF($2^n$) for a authentication and are a safety analysis about various attacks.

The purpose of this study is to support flexible authentication functions in various services using various types of user information. Rather than requiring the same level of authentication for all services, the goal is to identify the level of authentication at the time of user authentication and to increase convenience and efficiency by dynamically granting authority. In this paper, we propose POSCAL (Protocol of Service Control by Authentication Level) protocol which can control service access based on various local authentication information. To verify the function of the authentication framework, we developed the electronic wallet service based on the POSCAL authentication framework and evaluated the implementation function based on the use case scenario. The proposed protocol satisfies user and message authentication, confidentiality of authentication information, integrity of authentication history, non - repudiation of authorization, and access control by service according to security level.

In a smart grid environment, data for the usage and control of power are transmitted over an Internet protocol (IP)-based network. This data contains very sensitive information about the user or energy service provider (ESP); hence, measures must be taken to prevent data manipulation. Mutual authentication between devices, which can prevent impersonation attacks by verifying the counterpart's identity, is a necessary process for secure communication. However, it is difficult to apply existing signature-based authentication in a smart grid system because smart meters, a component of such systems, are resource-constrained devices. In this paper, we consider a smart meter and propose an efficient mutual authentication protocol. The proposed protocol uses a matrix-based homomorphic hash that can decrease the amount of computations in a smart meter. To prove this, we analyze the protocol's security and performance.
