IoT which is an abbreviation of Internet of Things refers to the communication network service among various objects such as people-people, objects-objects interconnection. The characteristic of IoT that enables direct connection among each device makes security to be considered as more emphasized factor. Though a security module such as an authentication protocol for resolving various security problems that may occur in the IoT environment has been developed, some weak points in security are still being revealed. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for including a protocol including gateway authentication procedure and mutual authentication between the devices and gateways. Protocols with additional authentication procedures can appropriately respond to attackers' spoofing attacks. In addition, important information in the message used for authentication process is protected by encryption or hash function so that it can respond to wiretapping attacks.

Biometric information does not need to be stored separately, and there is no risk of loss and no theft. For this reason, it has been attracting attention as an alternative authentication means for existing authentication means such as passwords and authorized certificates. However, there may be a privacy problem due to leakage of personal information stored in the server. To overcome these weaknesses, FIDO solved the problem of leakage of personal information on the server by using biometric information stored on the user device and authenticating. In this paper, we propose a multiple biometric authentication method that can be used in FIDO environment. In order to utilize multiple biometric information, fingerprints and EEG signals can be generated and used in FIDO system. The proposed method can solve the problem due to limitations of existing 2-factor authentication system by authentication using multiple biometric information.

The fast-emerging of cloud computing technology today has sufficiently benefited its wide range of users from individuals to large organizations. It carries an attractive characteristic by renting myriad virtual storages, computing resources and platform for users to manipulate their data or utilize the processing resources conveniently over Internet without the need to know the exact underlying infrastructure which is resided remotely at cloud servers. However due to the loss of direct control over the systems/applications, users are concerned about the risks of cloud services if it is truly secured. In the literature, there are cases where attackers masquerade as cloud users, illegally access to their accounts, by stealing the static login password or breaking the poor authentication gate. In this paper, we propose a two-factor authentication framework to enforce cloud services' authentication process, which are Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication and mobile out-of-band (OOB) authentication. We discuss the framework's security analysis in later session and conclude that it is robust to phishing and replay attacks, prohibiting fraud users from accessing to the cloud services.

Recently, Hao et al. proposed a privacy preservation protocol based on group signature scheme for secure vehicular communications to overcome a well-recognized problems of secure VANETs based on PKI. However, although efficient group signature schemes have been proposed in cryptographic literatures, group signature itself is still a rather much time consuming operation. In this paper, we propose a more efficient privacy preservation protocol than that of Hao et al. In order to design a more efficient anonymous authentication protocol, we consider a key-insulated signature scheme as our cryptographic building block. We demonstrate experimental results to confirm that the proposed protocol is more efficient than the previous scheme.

Intellgent Vehles network capabilities can cause a lots of security issues such as data hacking, privacy violation, location tracking and so on. Some possibilities which raise a breakdown or accident by hacking vehicle operation data are on the increase. In this paper, we propose a security module which has user authentication and encryption functionalities and can be used for vehicle network system.

An image authentication scheme for gray scale image through embedding a digital watermark by quantization of Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT) coefficients of the image is proposed in this paper. Proposed method is designed to detect modification of an image and to identify tampered location of the image. To embed the watermark mid-frequency band of a second level IWT was used. An approximation of the original image based on LL band was stored in LSB bits of the pixel data as a recovery mark for restoration of the image. Watermarked image has achieved a good PSNR of 40 dB compared to original cover image. Restored image quality was also very good with a PSNR of more than 35 dB compared to unmodified watermarked image even when 25% of the received image is cropped. Thus, the proposed method ensures a proper balance between the fidelity of the watermarked image and the quality of the restored image.

Security is a primary concern in group communication, and secure authentication is essential to establishing a secure group communication. Most conventional authentications consist of knowledge-based and token-based methods. One of the token-based methods is a X.509 certificate, which is used under a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI); it is the most well-known authentication system in a distributed network environment. However, it has a well-known weakness, which only proves the belonging of a certificate. PKI cannot assure identity of a person. The conventional knowledge-based and token-based methods do not really provide positive personal identification because they rely on surrogate representations of the person's identity. Therefore, I propose a secure X.509 certificate with biometric information to assure the identity of the person who uses the X.509 certificate in a distributed computing environment.

Current IEEE 802.11 standard is very vulnerable that between the AP and STA authentication and security mechanisms is widely known. Therefore, IEEE has proposed security architecture RSN (Robust Security Network) for 802.11. RSN is used the access control, authentication, and key management based on the IEEE 802.1X standard. In this paper, IEEE 802.1X or 802.11 a combination of several models proposed for the vulnerability, and session hijacking or MiM (Man-in the-Middle) attacks to respond, the authentication mechanism Was designed to the access control between the STA and the AP.

In this paper we will discuss a general idea about an information system which provides information a user really needs in user's authentication. We will discuss how RFID could be applied for this kind of system especially from the standpoint of using RFID as a way to collect information of personal belongings. Also we will discuss security issues of using RFID as a component of the proposed system because while RFID could provide usefulness, it could also be very dangerous for revealing private information without user's awareness.
