The use of public Wi-Fi has increased in recent years with many people like to spend their time outside in malls or café shops which provide public Wi-Fi for their customers. However, since the public Wi-Fi can be accessed from any device the security of public Wi-Fi plays a big role to prevent the stealing of information by an attacker with methods and techniques such as WPA, WPA2 and WPA3. However, it is well known to the attackers that these methods are not difficult to get hacked by the attacker device to take the client precious information. Some researches were done in increasing the security of public Wi-Fi each with their own different technique or algorithm to provide more secure connection to the public Wi-Fi and prevent any unauthorized user to connect to avoid stealing the data of another legal user. Theses research paper are evaluated to learn which method excel in protecting the public Wi-Fi security by giving an analysis to the methods provided by the research paper with comparing the pros and cons of each algorithm. Moreover, the research displays that there are methods to actually provide security to the public Wi-Fi with each being very different in implementation.

In this paper, the beacon signals of WiFi doppler frequency detection based WiFi-AP was designed with the subcarrier between a transmitter and a receiver of WLAN(wireless LAN). We can use such signals to identify human moving as an antenna array and tracking of RF beam. This wireless security services with the combination of WiFi doppler frequency and adaptive beacon time signal was proposed for wireless detection and motion based services.

WPA2-PSK uses a 4-way handshake protocol based on a shared secret to establish a secure session between a client and an AP. It has various security problems such as eavesdropping attacks and the secure session establishment process is inefficient because it requires multiple interactions between client and AP. The WPA3 standard has recently been proposed to solve the security problem of WPA2, but it is a small improvement using the same 4-way handshake methodology. OAuth 2.0 token authentication is widely used on the web, which can be used to keep an authenticated state of a client for a long time by using tokens issued to an authenticated client. In this paper, we apply the dual-token based randomized token authentication technology to the Wi-Fi security protocol to achieve an efficient Wi-Fi security protocol by dividing initial authentication and secure session establishment. Once a client is authenticated and equipped with dual tokens issued by AP, it can establish secure session using them quickly with one message exchange over a non-secure channel.

IT(Information Technology) 기술이 고도화됨에 따라 금융 분야에서는 스마트 컨트랙트에 기반하여 자산을 거래할 수 있는 DeFi(Decentralized Finance)가 발전하고 있다. 또한, 다양한 IoT(Internet of Things) 기기들로 구성된 융합환경이 상호 연결되며 IoBE(Internet of Blended Environment)가 조성되고 있다. IoBE의 구성요소 중 의료융합환경인 디지털 헬스케어는 스마트 의료 기기를 통해 진료서비스를 제공한다. 최근에는 디지털 헬스케어 내 자산 거래 수단으로 DeFi를 활용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 디지털 헬스케어 서비스에 DeFi가 활용될 수 있음에 따라 DeFi 내 보안 위협이 전파될 수 있다. 전파된 보안 위협은 DeFi에서의 디지털 화폐 탈취뿐만 아니라, 디지털 헬스케어 내민감 정보 탈취, 서비스 거부 공격 등 복합 위협으로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 DeFi의 취약점을 분석하고 이를 기반으로 디지털 헬스케어에서 발생 가능한 공격 시나리오를 도출한다.

Recently, with the development of the Internet of Things, research on protocols that can easily connect devices without a UI to the network has been steadily conducted. To this end, the Wi-Fi Alliance announced Wi-Fi Easy Connect, which can connect to a network using a QR code. However, since Wi-Fi Easy Connect requires a large amount of computation for safety, it is difficult to apply to low-power and miniaturized IoT devices. In addition, Wi-Fi Easy Connect considering scalability is designed to operate in a wired environment, but problems such as duplicate encryption occur because it does not consider a security environment like TLS. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the Wi-Fi Easy Connect protocol and propose a protocol that can operate efficiently in the TLS environment. It was confirmed that the proposed protocol satisfies the existing security requirements and at the same time reduces about 67% of ECC scalar multiplication operations with a large amount of computation.

Wi-Fi provides some low-power connection solutions that other Bluetooth cannot provide, and at the same time brings many benefits. First, there is a potentially higher data rate: it can reach 230mbps. Wi-Fi coverage is also wider than competitors, and its operating frequency is also 5GHz, which is much less congested than 2.4GHz. Finally, it also supports IP networks, which is important if you want to send data to the cloud without complexity. The 802.11ac standard of the previous generation still accounts for most shipments (80.9%) and revenue (76.2%). However, there is a limit to accepting IoT devices that will continue to increase significantly in the future. To solve this problem, the new Wi-Fi 6 standard is expected to be the solution (IEEE 802.11ax) which is quickly becoming the main driving force of the wireless local area network (WLAN) market. According to IDC market research analysts, in the first quarter of 2020, independent access points (APs) supported by Wi-Fi 6 accounted for 11.8% of shipments, but 21.8% of revenue. In this paper, we have compared and analyzed the IoT connectivity, QoS, and security requirements of devices using Wi-Fi 6 network.

An increasing number of people who use a smart phone or tablet PC are accessing wireless networks in public facilities including cafes and shopping centers. For example, iPhones and Android Phones have been available since 2010. However, security incidents may occur through all sorts of malicious code infection of users' personal information during the use of an insecure wireless network. In this paper, we will describe the Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) and WPA2 encryption systems used to access a wireless network from a smart phone and tablet PC, and demonstrate the access point (AP) hacking process in a wireless network to which a password is applied on the basis of the analyzed WPA and WPA2 passwords. We will analyze the method of successful AP hacking and propose an approach to enhancing wireless LAN security. This study will contribute to enhancing the security and stability of wireless networks.

As network communication increases by using public WiFi to check e-mail and handling Internet banking, the danger of hacking public routers continues to rise. While the national policy is to further propagate public routers, users are not eager to keep their information secure and there is a growing risk of personal information leakage. Because wireless routers implement high accessibility but are vulnerable to hacking, it is thus important to analyze hacking to tackle the attacks. In this study, an analysis is made of the encryption method used in WiFi and cases of hacking WiFi by security attacks on wireless routers, and a method for tackling the attacks is suggested.
