Fraudulence, cheating, and deception can occur in the commercial real estate (CRE) industry, besides the difficulty in searching for and transferring properties while ensuring the operation is processed through an authoritative source in a trusted manner. Nowadays, real estate transactions use neutral third parties to sell land. Indeed, properties can be sold by the owners or third parties multiple times or without a proper deed. Moreover, third parties request a large amount of money to mediate between the seller and buyer. Methods: We propose a new framework that uses a private blockchain network and predefined BPMN instances to enable the fast and easy recording of deeds and their proprietary transfer management controlled by the government. The blockchain allows for multiple verifications of transactions by permitted parties called peers. It promotes transparency, privacy, trust, and commercial competition. Results: We demonstrated the easy adoption of blockchain for land registration and transfer. The paper presents a prototype of the implemented product that follows the proposed framework. Conclusion: The use of Blockchain-based solutions to resolve the current land registration and transfer issues is promising and will contribute to smart cities and digital governance.

A RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system receives attention as the technology which can realize the ubiquitous computing environment. However, the feature of the RFID tags may bring about new threats to the security and privacy of individuals. Recently, Juels proposed the minimalist cryptography for very low-cost RFID tags, which is secure. but only under the impractical assumption such that an adversary is allowed to eavesdrop only the pre-defined number of sessions. In this paper, we propose a scheme to protect privacy for very low-cost RFID systems. The proposed protocol uses only bit-wise operations without my costly cryptographic function such as hashing, encryption which is secure which is secure against an adversary who is allowed to eavesdrop transmitted message in every session any impractical assumption. The proposed scheme also is more efficient since our scheme requires less datas as well as few number of computations than Juels's scheme.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) will be used for recognizing things and offering distinctive information in Ubiquitous environment. But we are not ready to provide security service to RFID. Therefore we propose the approach of safe RFID system which provides the solution for eavesdrop, forgery, and modification based on Pre-Distribution protocol and RC5 security algorithm. First We distributes the secret key to the Tag with the Reader that is major subject on RFID system using Pre-Distribution protocol. Then we will provide to various security services and privacy protection using RC5 security algorithm. The proposed safe RFID system simulated on ATmega128 evaluate environment.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology, automatic identification and data capture technologies in ubiquitous computing is an essential skill. Low-cost Radio Frequency Identification tags using memory and no physical contact due to the ease of use and maintenance of excellence are going to use expanded. However, it is possible to the illegal acquisition of the information between RFID tags and readers because RFID uses the RF signal, and the obtained information can be used for the purpose of location tracking and invasion of privacy. In this paper, we proposed the security scheme to protect against the illegal user location tracking and invasion of privacy. The security scheme proposed in this paper, using Gray Code and reduced the capacity of the calculation of the actual tags, However, it is impossible for the malicious attacker to track information because tag information transmitted from the reader is not fixed. Therefore, even if the tags information is obtained by a malicious way, our scheme provides more simple and safe user privacy than any other protection methods to protect user privacy, because not actual information but encrypted information is becoming exposed.

Fog computing has become a popular concept in the application of internet of things (IoT). With the superiority in better service providing, the edge cloud has become an attractive solution to IoT networks. The data outsourcing scheme of IoT devices demands privacy protection as well as computation verification since the lightweight devices not only outsource their data but also their computation. Existing solutions mainly deal with the operations over encrypted data, but cannot support the computation verification in the same time. In this paper, we propose a data outsourcing scheme based on an encrypted database system with linear computation as well as efficient query ability, and enhance the interlayer program in the original system with homomorphic message authenticators so that the system could perform computational verifying. The tools we use to construct our scheme have been proven secure and valid. With our scheme, the system could check if the cloud provides the correct service as the system asks. The experiment also shows that our scheme could be as effective as the original version, and the extra load in time is neglectable.

As the usefulness of mobile device is kept growing the privacy of the cloud computing is receiving more attentions. Even though many researches and solutions for privacy matters are suggested we are still worrying about the security problems. In addition most of cloud computing systems uses file-level synchronization which make it difficult to modify a part of a file. If we use data-centric app that stores data on embedded DBMS such as SQLite, a simple synchronization may incur some loss of information. In this paper we propose a solution to build a personal cloud that supports record-level synchronization. And we show a prototype system which uses RESTful web services and the same schema on mobie devices and the cloud storage. Synchronization is achieved by using a kind of optimistic concurrency control.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is a key technology in ubiquitous computing and is expected to be employed in more fields in the near future. Nevertheless, the RFID system is vulnerable to attacks by eavesdropping or altering of the messages transmitted in wireless channels. In 2013, Oh et al. proposed a mutual authentication protocol between a tag and a reader in RFID systems. Their protocol is designed to resist location tracking for privacy protection. However, all tags and readers use only one network-wide key in their protocol and tags are usually vulnerable to physical attacks. We found that their protocol is still vulnerable to tag/reader impersonation attacks and location tracking if an attacker obtains the network-wide key from a tag. In this paper, we propose a security improved authentication protocol for privacy protection in RFID systems. In addition, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme is efficient in terms of computation and communication costs.

Web service is defined to support interoperable machine to machine interaction over a network and defined as distributed technologies. Recently in web service environment, security has become one of the most critical issues. An attacker may expose user privacy and service information without authentication. Furthermore, the users of web services must temporarily delegate some or all of their behalf. This results in the exposure of user privacy information by agents. We propose a delegation model for providing safety of web service and user privacy in ubiquitous computing environments. In order to provide safety of web service and user privacy, XML-based encryption and a digital signature mechanism need to be efficiently integrated. In this paper, we propose web service management server based on XACML, in order to manage services and policies of web service providers. For this purpose, we extend SAML to declare delegation assertions transferred to web service providers by delegation among agents.

Cloud consumers who use cloud computing services are obliged to review and monitor the legal compliance of cloud providers who are consigned the processes of the PII (personally identifiable information) from them. This paper presented possible scenarios for cloud PII outsourcing and suggested PIMS (personal information management system) controls for outsourcing management between cloud consumers and cloud providers by analyzing both international standards and domestic certification schemes related to cloud computing and/or privacy management based on the legal obligations for PII outsourcing from Korean "Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA)". The controls suggested can be applicable for developing the guidance of complying with privacy laws in organizations or the checklist of PII outsourcing management in PIMS certification.

Due to advances in DNA sequencing technologies, its medical value continues to grow. However, once genome data leaked, it cannot be revoked, and disclosure of personal genome information impacts a large group of individuals. Therefore, secure techniques for managing genomic big data should be developed. We first propose a privacy-preserving inner product protocol for large data sets using the homomorphic encryption of Gentry et al., and then we introduce an efficient privacy-preserving DNA matching protocol based on the proposed protocol. Our efficient protocol satisfies the requirements of correctness, confidentiality, and privacy.
