${\mu}TESLA$ broadcast authentication protocol have been developed by many researchers for providing authenticated broadcasting message between receiver and sender in sensor networks. Those cause authentication delay Tree-based ${\mu}TESLA$[3] solves the problem of authentication delay. But, it has new problems from Merkel hash tree certificate structure. Such as an increase in quantity of data transmission and computation according to the number of sender or parameter of ${\mu}TESLA$ chain. ${\mu}TPCT$-based ${\mu}TESLA$[4] has an advantages, such as a fixed computation cost by altered Low-level Merkel has tree to hash chain. However, it only use the sequential values of Hash chain to authenticate ${\mu}TESLA$ parameters. So, It can't ensure the success of authentication in lossy sensor network. This paper is to propose the improved method for Tree-based ${\mu}TESLA$ by using XOR-based chain. The proposed scheme provide advantages such as a fixed computation cost with ${\mu}$TPCT-based ${\mu}TESLA$ and a message loss-tolerant with Tree-based ${\mu}TESLA$.

A certificate is a means to certify users by conducting the identification of the users, the prevention of forgery and alteration, and non-repudiation. Most people use an accredited certificate when they perform a task using online banking, and it is often used for the purpose of proving one's identity in issuing various certificates and making electronic payments in addition to online banking. At this time, the issued certificate exists in a file form on the disk, and it is possible to use the certificate issued in an existing device in a new device only if one copies it from the existing device. However, most certificate duplication methods are a method of duplication, entering an 8-16 digit verification code. This is inconvenient because one should enter the verification code and has a weakness that it is vulnerable to security issues. To solve this weakness, this study proposes a method for enhancing security certificate duplication in a multi-channel using TCP and BLE. The proposed method: 1) shares data can be mutually authenticated, using BLE Advertising data; and 2) encrypts the certificate with a symmetric key algorithm and delivers it after the certification of the device through an ECC-based electronic signature algorithm. As a result of the implementation of the proposed method in a mobile environment, it could defend against sniffing attacks, the area of security vulnerabilities in the existing methods and it was proven that it could increase security strength about $10^{41}$ times in an attempt of decoding through the method of substitution of brute force attack existing method.

In this paper, we propose the DAMMC(Distributed Authentication Model using Multi-level Cluster) for wireless sensor networks. The proposed model is that one cluster header in m-layer has a role of CA(Certificate Authority) but it just authenticates sensor nodes in lower layer for providing an efficient authentication without authenticating overhead among clusters. In here, the m-layer for authentication can be properly predefined by user in consideration of various network environments. And also, the DAMMC uses certificates based on the threshold cryptography scheme for more reliable configuration of WSN. Experimental results show that the cost of generation and reconfiguration certification are decreased but the security performance are increased compared to the existing method.

The rapidly growing IoT market is expanding not only in general households but also in smart homes and smart cities. Among the major protocols used in IoT, ZigBee accounts for more than 90% of the smart home's door lock market and is mainly used in miniaturized sensor devices, so the safety of the protocol is very important. However, the device using Zig Bee is not satisfied with the omnidirectional safety because it uses a fixed key during the authentication process that connects to the network, and it has not been resolved in the recently developed ZigBee 3.0. This paper proposes a design method that provides omnidirectional safety to the ZigBee authentication protocol and can be quickly applied to existing protocols. The proposed improved ZigBee authentication protocol analyzed and applied the recently developed OWE protocol to apply ECDH, which has low computational volume and provides omnidirectional safety in IoT. Based on this, it provides the safety of the ZigBee authentication protocol, and it is expected that it will be able to provide user convenience as it does not require a separate certificate or password input.

The HTTP does not support continuity for browser-server interaction between successive visits or a user due to a stateless feature. Cookies were invented to maintain continuity and state on the Web. Because cookies are transmitted in plain and contain text-character strings encoding relevant information about the user, the attacker can easily copy and modify them for his undue profit. In this paper, we design a secure cookies scheme based on X.509 public key certificate for solving these security weakness of typical web cookies. Our secure cookies scheme provides not only mutual authentication between client and server but also confidentiality and integrity of user information. Additionally, we implement our secure cookies scheme and compare it to the performance with SSL(Secure Socket Layer) protocol that is widely used for security of HTTP environment.

As computing devices become ubiquitous and increasingly mobile, it becomes obvious that a synchronous and direct peer-to-peer communication model is not sufficient in distributed computing environment. Using an indirect event service instead of other traditional communication model has an advantage of decreasing the coupling of applications in a distributed environment and removing the need for many static dependencies. In this paper, we design and implement the secure event service for providing secure ubiquitous computing environment. The Secure Event Service implemented enables users to perform content-based event retrieval, and supports only eligible event comsumer and event producer can publish and receive events through the secure event service. SPKI/SDSI certificate is used for supporting authentication and authorization in the secure event service. In order to provide a content-based event retrieval, an asynchronous communication between event producers and consumers, and a disconnectedness support for mobile devices, we modify and expand the Javaspace package.

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.

Authenticated multiple key agreement (AMKA) protocols provide participants with multiple session keys after one round of authentication. Many schemes use Diffie-Hellman or authenticated key agreement schemes that rely on hard integer factorizations that are vulnerable to quantum algorithms. Lattice cryptography provides quantum resistance to authenticated key agreement protocols, but the certificate always incurs excessive public key infrastructure management overhead. Thus, a lightweight lattice-based secure system is needed that removes this overhead. To answer this need, we provide a two-party lattice- and identity-based AMKA scheme based on bilateral short integer or computational bilateral inhomogeneous small integer solutions, and we provide a security proof based on the random oracle model. Compared with existing AMKA protocols, our new protocol has higher efficiency and stronger security.

this paper, we made out blocking probability analysis for a new authentication structure for reducing the certificate acquisition time which is one of the factors that should be improved in a conventional wireless PKI. A conventional key exchange method simply performs the key exchange setup step based on discrete algebraic subjects. But the mutual-authentication procedure of wireless PKI for reducing authentication time uses an elliptical curve for a key exchange setup step. Besides, we proposed advanced handover method and blocking probability analysis for wireless PKI. Proposed handover method shows reduced handover processing time than conventional method since it can reduce CRL retrieval time. Also, we compared proposed authentication structure and conventional algorithm, and simulation results show that proposed authentication method outperforms conventional algorithm in all environment regardless of call arrival rate, queue service rate, queue size
