We propose an individual authentication method based on optical visual cryptography in thata fingerprint data is processed by secret sharing method taking into account the optical visual cryptograph and a part of shared data transmitted through an open network. Whenever it is necessary, submitting his fingerprint with the other shared information can authenticate the owner of the fingerprint. The system efficiently identifies fingerprints through optical correlation, regardless of difficulties of acquisition of exact fingerprint imagein the various environments.

In this paper, we improved a cryptography system model based on the secure initial authentication public key with PKINIT of authentication and key recovery protocol. It is applied to all fields of cryptography system using certificate. This study presents two mechanisms to authenticate between member users. The first mechanism is initial authentication and distribution of session key by public key cryptography based on certificate between entity and server, and the second mechanism is a key recovery support protocol considering loss of session key in the secure communication between application servers.

Data security is an important issue in today's computer networks. In order to construct a safe infra in the open communication network, a cryptography is necessarily applied to several communication application fields like a high-speed networking system supporting real-time operation. A cryptography which has already realized by a software is designed by using a hardware to improve a throughput. In this paper, we design hardware architecture of IDEA by using a single iterative round method to improve a encryption throughput. In addition, we intend to develop a hardware design methodology that a specific cryptography operate with high-speed. The hardware model is described in VHDL and synthesized by the Samsung KG 80 Library in the Synopsys development software tool. With a system clock frequency 20MHz, this hardware permits a data conversion rate of more than 116 Mbit/s.

In this paper, we proposed a new visual cryptography scheme based on optical interference which improves the contrast and SNR of reconstructed images comparing with conventional visual cryptography method. We divided an binary image to be encrypted into n slides. To encrypt them, (n-1) random independent keys and one another random key by XOR process between four random keys were prepared. XOR between each divided image and each random key makes encrypted n encrypted images. From these images, encrypted binary phase masks can be made. For decryption all of phase masks should be placed together in the interferometer such as Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

In this paper, a new asymmetric public key cryptography based on the modified RSA algorithm is proposed by using logic-based optical processing. The proposed asymmetric public key algorithm is realized into an optical schematic, where AND, OR and XOR logic operations are implemented by using free space digital optics architecture. Schematically, the proposed optical configuration has an advantage of generating the public keys simultaneously. Another advantage is that the suggested optical setup can also be used for message encryption and decryption by simply replacing data inputs of SLMs in the optical configuration. The last merit is that the optical configuration has a 2-D array data format which can increase the key length easily. This can provide longer 2-D key length resulting in a higher security cryptosystem than the conventional 1-D key length cryptosystem. Results of numerical simulation and differential cryptanalysis are presented to verify that the proposed method shows the effectiveness in the optical asymmetric cryptographic system.

Pixel expansion and contrast are two major performance parameters for visual cryptography scheme (VCS), which is a type of secret image sharing. Random Grid (RG) is an alternative approach to solve the pixel expansion problem. Chen and Tsao proposed the first (k, n) RG-based VCS, and then Guo et al., Wu et al., Shyu, and Yan et al. significantly improved the contrast in recent years. However, the investigations on improving the contrast of threshold RG-based VCS are not sufficient. In this paper, we develop a contrast-improved algorithm for (k, n) RG-based VCS. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperformers the previous threshold algorithms with better visual quality and a higher accuracy of contrast.

A remote control system (RCS) can monitor a user's confidential information by using the broadcast receivers in Android OS. However, the current RCS detection methods are based only on a virus vaccine. Therefore, if the user's smartphone is infected by a brand new RCS, these methods cannot detect this new RCS immediately. In this paper, we present a secure message transmission medium. This medium is completely isolated from networks and can communicate securely through a QR code channel by using symmetric key cryptography such as the AES block cipher and public key cryptography such as elliptic curve cryptography for providing security. Therefore, the RCS cannot detect any confidential information. This approach is completely immune to any RCS attacks. Furthermore, we present a secure QR code-based key exchange protocol by using the elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman method and message transmission protocols; the proposed protocol has high usability and is very secure.

Conventional and public-key cryptography has been widely accepted as a base technology for the design of computer security systems. D-classes have the potential for application to conventional and public-key cryptography. However, there are very few results on D-classes because the computational complexity of D-class computation is NP-complete. This paper discusses the design of algorithms for the efficient computation of D-classes and the Java implementation of them. In addition, the paper implements the same D-class computation algorithms in C and shows the performance of C and Java programming languages for the computation-intensive applications by comparing their execution results.

Data Security is the most challenging area in Internet communication, where most of the secret sharing schemes are proposed for binary images. But still it lacks in providing security for data communication, especially in image transmission. Traditional visual cryptography scheme generate meaningless diwies and the reconstruction phase leads to quality degradation over the secret image. In this work, an intelligent two dimensional secret share construction scheme is proposed. A secret image is expanded into n diwies with the choice of scheme selection. By Stacking all the qualified diwies to revert the secret image without content loss and less than s^* - 1 shares could not reveal any information about the secret image. The experimental results emphasize that the proposed secret share scheme is highly secured for image transmission.
