With the rapid development of Internet and communication network technology, various studies had proceeded to develop the technology of wireless sensor networks. Authentication schemes for user and sensor are critical and important security issue to use wireless sensors legally. First, Das introduce a user authentication scheme using smart card and password for wireless sensor networks, various studies had proceeded. Chem et al. suggested a secure user authentication scheme against smart card loss attack but Chen et al. scheme does not still resolve some security vulnerability such as perfect forward secrecy, session key exposure by gateway node, anonymity, and the password check. To resolve the problems, this paper proposes a security enhanced user authentication using the fuzzy extraction, elliptic curves cryptography and dynamic ID and analyzes the security.

In the Internet space, integrity and security must be maintained for secure and confidential communication, which ensures reliability between sender and receiver. Cryptography is an important factor in maintaining robustness against external attacks. For this purpose, encryption and steganography methods are used. Steganography is a method of hiding confidential information without making statistically significant changes to digital media. I propose a method of transforming the Hangul-Jamo consisting of choseong, jungseong and jongseong, and inserting them into RGB pixel values of the cover image. In order to improve security, a new blending method was used to hide the altered information in the lowest region. In this case, a mixture of LSB and LDR techniques was applied. PSNR was calculated for image quality. The PSNR of the proposed method is 43.225dB, which satisfies the lowest level.

With the improvement of wireless communication and embedded technology, WSN is used at various fields. Meanwhile, because WSN is resource constrained, it is more vulnerable than other networks. To solve the security problem of WSN, we can use the traditional secure mechanism like as cryptography and authentication. But the traditional secure mechanism is not enough for all security issues that may be happened in WSN, especially attacks caused by the compromised node. So, we need the IDS as the second secure mechanism for WSN. In this paper, we propose the Specification-based Intrusion Detection Mechanism that makes LEACH, which is one of the clustering routing protocol for WSN, more reliable and safety.

As ICT Ecosystem does, electronic government changes in its form. Accordingly, in order to realize Smarter m-Gov, the governments need to vitalize m-Gov services and enact technology policy. Therefor, this manuscript suggests possible model of m-Gov realization and security algorithm as a technology policy which applies quantum cryptography system to server security for the construction of secured m-Gov's infrastructure. What the manuscript suggests seeks administrative ideas of Smarter m-Gov's services which contain security, stability, and economic feasibility for the benefits of nation and enterprises.

The main concern in mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is security because jamming or eavesdropping on a wireless link is much easier than on a wired one and such damage can be incurred without physical access or contact. In particular, authentication has increasingly become a requirement in mobile P2P environments. This paper presents a new mutual authentication mechanism which requires less storage space and maintains a high level of security in mobile P2P networks. The proposed mechanism improves efficiency by avoiding the use of centralized entities and is designed to be agile in terms of both reliability and low-cost implementation. The mechanism suggested in the simulation evaluates the function costs occurring in authentication between the devices under mobile P2P network environment comparing to existing method in terms of basic operation costs, traffic costs, communications costs, storage costs and scalability. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism provides high authentication with low cryptography processing overhead.

IETF suggested AAA for safe and reliable user authentication on various network and protocol caused by development in internet and increase in users. Diameter standard authentication system does not provide mutual authentication and non-repudiation. AAA authentication system using public key was suggested to supplement such Diameter authentication but application in mobile service control nodes is difficult due to overhead of communication and arithmetic. ID based AAA authentication system was suggested to overcome such weak point but it still has the weak point against collusion attack or forgery attack. In this thesis, new ID based AAA authentication system is suggested which is safe against collusion attack and forgery attack and reduces arithmetic quantity of mobile nodes with insufficient arithmetic and power performance. In this thesis, cryptological safety and arithmetical efficiency is tested to test the suggested system through comparison and assessment of current systems. Suggested system uses two random numbers to provide stability at authentication of mobile nodes. Also, in terms of power, it provides the advantage of seamless service by reducing authentication executing time by the performance of server through improving efficiency with reduced arithmetic at nodes.

In 2006, Haddad, Krishnan and Soliman proposed a Cryptographically Generated Address based protocol as a standard for protecting HMIPv6. Though this protocol can provide both the strong message authentication and binding update key negotiation based on the public-key cryptography, it is still vulnerable to several attacks such as denial of service attacks and redirection attacks. This paper improves the problems caused by the protocol. The improved protocol is analyzed in terms of security and performance, and then is shown to be better than the previous one considering the two factors together.

The advancement of information and communication technology has caused a few dysfunction such as hacking. To keep an organization from a harmful hacking, demands for cryptographic modules have been increased. However, the evaluation criteria of cryptographic modules in Korea have been less firmly established. It is difficult for the consumers of cryptographic module to choose an appropriate cryptographic module, and to establish interoperability between applications and cryptographic modules. This study analyzes evaluation criteria, evaluation processes and evaluation policy of CMVP(Cryptographic Module Verification Program) in the advanced countries. The paper suggests a policy for Korea CMVP, in resulting a provision of foundations for international standard and cooperations for international cryptographic policies and systems.

Recently, Jaiswal et al. proposed a protocol to improve the multi-agent negotiation test-bed which was proposed by Collins et al. Using publish/subscribe system, time-release cryptography and anonymous communication, their protocol gives an improvement on the old one. However, it is shown that the protocol also has some security weaknesses: such as replay data attack and DOS (denial-of-service) attack, anonymity disclosure, collusion between customers and a certain supplier. So proposed protocol reduces DOS attack and avoids replay data attack by providing ticket token and deal sequence number to the supplier. And it is proved that the way that market generates random number to the supplier is better than the supplier do by himself in guaranteeing anonymity. Market publishes interpolating polynomial for sharing the determination process data. It avoids collusion between customer and a certain supplie

In recent years, peer-to-peer network have a greate deal of attention for distributed computing or collaborative application, and work of ID-based public key systems have been focusing on the area of cryptography. In this paper, we propose ID-based group key management protocols for secure communication in autonomous peer group. Each member obtains his public/private key pair derived from his identification string from Private Key Generator. No central server participates in group key management protocol instead, all group members share the burden of group key management by the collaboration of themselves, so that our scheme avoids the single point of failure problem. In addition, our scheme considers the nature of dynamic peer group such as frequent joining and leaving of a member.
