Most peoples are used to prefer to view the video contents rather than the other contents since the video contents are more easy to understand with both their eyes and ears. As the wide spread use of smartphones, the demands for the contents services are increasing rapidly. To promote the contents business, it's important to provide security of subscriber authentication and corresponding communication channels through which the contents are delivered. Generally, symmetric key encryption scheme is used to protect the contents in the channel, and the session key should be upadated periodically for the security reasons. In addition, to protect viewing paid contents by illegal users, the proxy authentication should not be allowed. In this paper, we propose biometric based user authentication and one time key generation models. The proposed model is consist of biometric template registration, session key generation and chanel encryption steps. We analyze the difference and benefits of our model with existing CAS models which are made for CATV contents protection, and also provides applications of our model in electronic commerce area.

Biometric information such as face and fingerprint information is highlighted in many security areas, including authentication, due to its uniqueness and convenience factors. However, if exploited maliciously, it can cause more serious damage than traditional security measures, like passwords. This paper reviews the watermarking method that is able to verify the integrity of this biometric information. The watermark to be inserted is the date of the biometric information acquisition. It is combined with 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Checks prior to insertion. In particular, face and fingerprint images are saved in a specific compressed format. The proposed watermarking algorithm will be designed in such a way as to remain resilient against compression. The watermark inserted at the acquisition stage will be extracted at each storage and deployment stage, so that the integrity of the biometric information can be verified.

Diverse kind of attack using the vulnerability of user authentication on Internet service is announced recently. Especially, security accidents on the Internet banking service and Internet telephony service(SIP) are increased rapidly. Attack skills are also evolved into intelligent mechanism. Therefore, more enhanced authentication mechanism is required on existing Internet banking and telephone services for preventing those kinds of attacks using personal identity information such as biometric data. In this research, the proposed B-OTP mechanism can be used to enhance security on a user authentication procedure by combining biometric data with existing OTP mechanism. As a result, the security on internet banking and Internet telephone service will be more improved by using proposed B-OTP mechanism.

Digital accredited certificates issued under the Digital Signature Act provide essential functionalities for online service, so certificates are used for various services such as online banking, e-government. However, certificates can be stolen by hackers and users need to install separate software to use certificates. Recently FIDO, which aims to solve the problems of password-based authentication and the lack of interoperability between authentication methods, is used for biometric authentication and TrustZone, hardware-based secure environment, is used for safe smartphone usage. In this paper, the new service method is suggested which uses FIDO-based biometric authentication and stores certificates in TrustZone. This method can not only improve security and convenience but also be easily applied to the service because it uses built-in functionalities of new smartphones such as biometric sensors and TrustZone. It is expected that people can use certificates in a safe and convenient way with this method.

It is easy to reproduce and manipulate the digital contents. It's difficult to distinguish the original contents with a pirate one. A digital signature scheme is used to protect the contents author's ownership and to provide secure contents distribution. Generally, the digital contents is completed with many authors' help. It's necessary to apply a cryptographic method for protecting co-authors' rights and interests. In this paper, the biometric based convertible undeniable multi-signature scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme, keys are generated by using a signer's biometric data. Consigning the private key to another signer is infeasible. Signers must participate in signature generation and verification stages. Our scheme also provides signature conversion protocol in which the undeniable signature is converted to the ordinary one. For applications, we show how the proposed scheme is used to protect co-authors' rights and to distribute the contents securely.

This work presents an ECG biometric recognition system for the purpose of biometric authentication. ECG biometric approaches are divided into two major categories, fiducial-based and non-fiducial-based methods. This paper proposes a new non-fiducial framework using discrete cosine transform and a Random Forest classifier. When using DCT, most of the signal information tends to be concentrated in a few low-frequency components. In order to apply feature vector of Random Forest, DCT feature vectors of ECG heartbeats are constructed by using the first 40 DCT coefficients. RF is based on the computation of a large number of decision trees. It is relatively fast, robust and inherently suitable for multi-class problems. Furthermore, it trade-off threshold between admission and rejection of ID inside RF classifier. As a result, proposed method offers 99.9% recognition rates when tested on MIT-BIH NSRDB.

With the recent development of biometric authentication technology, the user authentication techniques using biometric authentication are increasing. Various problems arised in certification techniques that use various existing methods such as ID/PW. Therefore, recently, a method of improving security by introducing biometric authentication as secondary authentication has been used. In this thesis, proposal of the user authentication system that can detect user identification and anomalies using ECGs that are extremely difficult to falsify through the electrical biometric signals from the heart among various biometric authentication devices is studied. The system detects user anomalies by comparing ECG data received from a wrist-mounted wearable device-type ECG measurement tool with identification and ECG data stored in blockchain form on the database and identifying the user's location through a beacon system.

Biometric based authentication can provide strong security guarantee about the identity of users. However, security of biometric data is particularly important as compromise of the data will be permanent. Cancelable biometrics stores a non - invertible transformed version of the biometric data. Thus, even if the storage is compromised, the biometric data remains safe. Cancelable biometrics also provide a higher level of privacy by allowing many templates for the same biometric data and hence non-linkability of user's data stored in different databases. In this paper, we proposed the fast polynomial reconstruction algorithm for fuzzy fingerprint vault. The proposed method needs (k+1) real points to reconstruct the polynomial of degree (k-1). It enhances the speed, however, by $300{\sim}1500$ times according to the degree of polynomial compared with the exhaust search.

In the fintech field, financial transactions with smart phones are actively conducted. User authentication technology is essential for safe financial transactions. PIN authentication through the existing security keypads is convenient to input but has weaknesses in security and others. The biometric authentication technique is secure, but there is a possibility of false positive and false negative authentication. To compensate for this, two-factor authentication is used. In this paper, we propose the 1.5-factor authentication that can increase convenience and security through PIN input with biometric authentication. It provides the stability of fingerprint authentication and convenience of two or three PIN inputs, and this makes safe financial transaction possible. Since biometric authentication is performed at the same time when entering PIN, while security is required by applying fingerprint authentication to the area touched while entering PIN. The User authentication is performed while ensuring convenience to input through additional PIN input in situations where high safety is required, and Safe financial transactions are possible.
