In line with the advanced wireless communication technology, M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication has drawn attention in industry. M2M communication features are installed and operated in the fields where human accessibility is highly limited such as disaster, safety, construction, health and welfare, climate, environment, logistics, culture, defense, medical care, agriculture and stockbreeding. In M2M communication, machine replaces people for automatic communication and countermeasures as part of unmanned information management and machine operation. Wireless M2M inter-device communication is likely to be exposed to intruders' attacks, causing security issues, which warrants proper security measures including cross-authentication of whether devices are legitimate. Therefore, research on multiple security protocols has been conducted. The present study applied SessionKey, HashFunction and Nonce to address security issues in M2M communication and proposed a safe protocol with reinforced security properties. Notably, unlike most previous studies arguing for the security of certain protocols based on mathematical theorem proving, the present study used the formal verification with Casper/FDR to prove the safety of the proposed protocol. In short, the proposed protocol was found to be safe and secure.

Recently, the various web service and applications are provided to the user. As to these service, because of providing the service to the authenticated user, the user undergoes the inconvenience of performing the authentication with the service especially every time. The OAuth(Open Authorization) protocol which acquires the access privilege in which 3rd Party application is limited on the web service in order to resolve this inconvenience appeared. This OAuth protocol provides the service which is convenient and flexible to the user but has the security vulnerability about the authorization acquisition. Therefore, we propose the method that analyze the security vulnerability which it can be generated in the OAuth 2.0 protocol and secure user authority authentication method.

User Authentication in Online service is essential for accurate and safe service. For this user authentication, One Time Password(OTP) is frequently used. To satisfy one-time-use characteristic of OTP, Offset information to generate OTP or final OTP value get generated through OTP generator or security card which could be lost. In this study, OTP generation method that bypasses OTP generator or security card by using health information collected from u-Health care system is proposed. Suggestion is that health information collected through wearable devices get utilized to offset information that are applied in OTP generations. OTP generated using suggested methods showed similar results than current OTP generation methods in the collision resistance test which tests how often it generate same authentication numbers, this implies that new proposed method can be applied to various on-line services.

For the usage of the different standard technology among DRM vendors, the DRM technologies in today could not guarantee the interoperability between the digital contents and digital devices. While users have been guaranteed the protection of contents, they have to put up with the limitation and inconvenience. The Superdistribution methods that InterTrust has proposed is the content distribution technology which is possible to use the content only by the user authentication with the license regardless of the acquisition of the DRM contents. However, it need a additional license with re-authentication from DRM server when the original contents need to be moved to other devices from the own device. In this paper, to reduce the inconveniences of re-authentication and re-issue procedures of the license and continually to protect the rights of contents on the offline, we propose the DRM system that creates domain between home devices and enable users to freely transfer contents with the domain.

DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol for efficiency and convenience of the IP address management. DHCP automatically assigns an IP address and configuration information needed to run the TCP/IP communication to individual host in the network. However, existing DHCP is vulnerable for network attack such as DHCP spoofing, release attack because there is no mutual authentication systems between server and client. To solve this problem, we have designed a new DHCP protocol supporting the following features: First, ECDH(Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) is used to create session key and ECDSA(Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) is used for mutual authentication between server and client. Also this protocol ensures integrity of message by adding a HMAC(Hash-based Message Authentication Code) on the message. And replay attacks can be prevented by using a Nonce. As a result, The receiver can prevent the network attack by discarding the received message from unauthorized host.

With the development of sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, personalized context information has been collected and customized services can be provided to related users. Currently, the context information system is at the level of analyzing and recognizing user specific behavioral characteristics and generating events.In the IoT environment, IoT products themselves should provide the required services with minimal user intervention, rather than acting for a specific purpose. In this paper, to minimize the user intervention in the IoT environment, we implemented an automatic attendance recognition system using context information from the ECG based on beacon. Environment of provided specific Context information, we compared and analyzed the degree of user intervention among the authentication method using ECG sensor in this paper and the existing authentication method. As a result of the analysis, we confirmed that the system implemented in this paper minimizes user intervention.

To provide medical services to patients who have a terminal illness, recent hospital patients to monitor the state of the device attached to the body, the body insertion device is. U-Healthcare Environment and hospital officials indiscriminately exploited by the patient's vital information, however, could threaten the patient's life problems are appearing. In this paper, depending on the level of authority, hospital officials, Union of ID-based authentication model is proposed to use a patient's vital information. Union proposed model identify different authentication system is used in hospitals that exist in various forms in a number of ID information, health / medical information sharing between hospitals without exposure to unnecessary personal information, you can be assured of the anonymity. In particular, with easy access to patient information, hospital officials about the malicious act to protect patient information to access level for the rights granted by third parties to prevent easy access.

Recent advancement of USN technology has lent itself to the evolving communication technology for implantable devices in the field of medical service. The wireless transmission section for communication between implantable medical devices and patients is a cause of concern over invasion of privacy, resulting from external attackers' hacking and thus leakage of private medical information. In addition, any attempt to manipulate patients' medical information could end up in serious medical issues. The present study proposes an authentication protocol safe against intruders' attacks when RFID/USN technology is applied to implantable medical devices. Being safe against spoofing, information exposure and eavesdropping attacks, the proposed protocol is based on hash-function operation and adopts session keys and random numbers to prevent re-encryption. This paper verifies the security of the proposed protocol using the formal verification tool, Casper/FDR.

The purpose of Email system is used to transmit important information between companies in today. But Email system has vulnerabilities such that changing email address of sender by attacker. So it is important to authenticate mail server and user using mail server. This paper proposed mail proxy located between mail servers that evaluate authority and authenticate sender and receiver. The proposed email platform has some functions to compose trusted domain and to authenticate mail servers in the domain. Also, if sender and recipient are valid users in mail system, each exchanges a key for confidentiality and the sender sends an e-mail encrypted with exchanged key to recipient. In this paper, we propose a key exchange scheme in proposed platform and verify this protocol using Casper which is the formal analysis tool. In the future research, we will study the overall platform of the domain configuration for the security of mail.

In a biometric authentication scheme, a user's biometric data that is unique to the user is used to prove the user's identity to the third party. Since the user should have to participate in every authentication sessions, it's not possible to delegate other users to authenticate instead of himself/herself. In a biometric signature scheme, contrary to authentication scheme, a user's biometric data is used to prove that "this message is signed by the signer who claims to be" to the third party. However, once the biometric key is created, it can be accessed by the signer. Thus, it's possible to lend the biometric key to other users. In this study, the server based biometric realtime signature scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme can be applied to sign the vote in electronic voting or to authenticate the copyright owner in DRM enabled mobile commerce where the proxy signatures are not allowed.
