The existing anonymous authentication schemes based on group signatures for protecting privacy do not provide anonymous authorization which is required in the practical environments. In this paper, we propose an anonymous authentication and authorization scheme that enables a service provider both to authenticate anonymously its users and to provide different service according to their authorization. In the proposed scheme, a user's real identity, anonymity and authorization are managed distinctly through the separation of group manager's capabilities and an authorization authority. It is also possible for the proposed scheme to apply various access control models.

Objectives : Official Arisaematis Rhizoma is described only three species, Arisaema amurnse, Arisaema erubescens, and Arisaema heterophyllum, in national Pharmacopoeia. However, other Arisaema species, Arisaema ringens, Arisaema takesimense and Arisaema serratum, also have been distributed as an inauthentic Arisaematis Rhizoma in the herbal market. To develop a reliable molecular authentication method for Arisaematis Rhizoma in species level, we analyzed DNA barcode regions using six Arisaema species. Methods : Thirty-eight samples of six Arisaema plants species (A. amurense, A. amurense f. serratum, A. heterophyllum, A. takesimense, and A. serratum) were collected from different habitate and nucleotide sequences of DNA barcode regions (rDNA-ITS, matK, and rbcL gene) were analyzed after PCR amplification. The species-specific sequences and phylogenetic relations were estimated using entire sequences of three DNA barcodes based on the analysis of ClastalW and UPGMA, respectively. Results : The comparative analysis of DNA barcode sequences were revealed inter-species specific nucleotides to distinguish the medicinal plant of Arisaema Rhizoma in species levels excluding between A. amurense and its subspecies (A. amurense f. serratum) and A. takesimense and A. serratum, respectively. However, we obtained sequence differences enough to discriminate authentic and inauthentic Arisaematis Rhizoma. Therefore, we suggest that these SNP type molecular genetic markers were an reliable method avaliable to identify official herbal medicines. Conclusions : These marker nucleotides could be useful to identify the official herbal medicines by providing definitive information that can identify original medicinal plant and distinguish from inauthentic adulterants and substitutes.

VANET(Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) is getting attention as an application to improve driver safety through inter-vehicle communication. For activation of VANET, privacy-preserving mutual authentication has to be guaranteed. In previous works, authors proposed various group-based authentication protocols. However, risks on ID exposure due to repeated use of group key and RSU(Road Side Unit) DoS attack were not considered. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic approach for robust anonymous authentication protocol. We evaluated our proposed method in a sets of criteria in VANET and verified it is an efficient solution for enhancing privacy.

There's a controversy about an invasion of privacy which includes a leakage of private information and linking of user's behavior on internet. Although many solutions for this problem are proposed, we think anonymous authentication, authorization, and payment mechanism is the best solution for this problem. In this paper, we propose an effective anonymity-based method that achieves not only authentication but also authorization. Our proposed method uses anonymous qualification certificate and group signature method as an underlying primitive, and combines anonymous authentication and qualification information. An eligible user is legitimately issued a group member key pair through key issuing process and issued some qualification certificates anonymously, and then, he can take the safe and convenience web service which supplies anonymous authentication and authorization. The qualification certificate can be expanded according to application environment and it can be used as payment token.

A node of mobile IPv6 moving foreign networks needs authentication process to support right services against from security threat. AAA is a trust infrastructure that authenticates, authorizes, and accounts nodes receiving a network service. And Mobile IPv6 Working Group recommends use of AAA infrastructure to authenticate mobile nodes. Event though AAA infrastructure provides strong authentication functions, it should exchange a lot of messages to authenticate mobile nodes every movement. The exchange of lots of messages causes latency and it is interfered with realization of real-time communication. This paper proposes an authentication method of improved speed using hash value of mobile node to reduce authentication latency. Directly after movement, a mobile node applying a Proposed method uses extended existing security authentication for a while and deletes the establishment latency of new security authentication. Performance evaluation of a proposed method verifies the efficiency through the analysis of cost comparison with other methods. The conclusion of performance evaluation is that the proposed method gets more 25% performance improvement than a general method when a mobile node moves another subnet.

Multicast has communication mechanism that is able to transfer voice, video for only the specific user group. As compared to unicast, multicast is more susceptive to attack such as masquerading, malicious replay, denial of service, repudiation and traffic observation, because of the multicast has much more communication links than unicast communication. Multicast-specific security threats can affect not only a group's receivers, but a potentially large proportion of the internet. In this paper, we proposed the multicast security model that is able to secure multi-group communication in CBT(Core Based Tree), which is multicast routing. And designed the multicast key distribution protocol that can offer authentication, user privacy using core (be does as Authentication Server) in the proposed model.

국제해사기구(IMO)에서 진행하는 "e-Navigation" 프로젝트의 구성요소인 해상교통관제시스템(VTS)을 정의하고, VTS 시스템간 정보교류를 위한 기술로 IVEF(Inter-system VTS Exchange Format)를 소개한다. 현재까지 국제항로표지협회(IALA)에서 개발한 IVEF에는 접속자에 대한 신뢰도 높은 인증 기술이 포함되지 않는다. 하지만 해상교통정보는 국가적으로 보안수위가 높은 정보이므로 정보 요청 자에 대한 신뢰 높은 인증이 절대적으로 필요한 부분이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 메인 인증 서버와 IVEF를 이용하여 VTS 시스템간의 신뢰도를 높일 수 있는 인증 시스템을 제안한다.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are self-organized networks that do not rely in their operation on wired infrastructure. As in any networking technology, security is an essential element in MANET as well, for proliferation of this type of networks. But supporting secure communication in MANETs proved to be a significant challenge, mainly due to the fact that the set of nodes in the network can change frequently and rapidly and due to the lack of access to the wired infrastructure. In particular, the trust model and the authentication protocols, which were developed for wired and infrastructure-based networks, cannot be used in MANETs. In [1], we addressed the problem of efficient authentication of distributed mobile users in geographically large networks and proposed a new authentication scheme for this case of MANETs. The proposed scheme exploits randomized groups to efficiently share authentication information among nodes that together implement the function of a distributive Certification Authority(CA). In this paper, we analyze numerically the performance of authentication method using randomized groups and compare with the simulation result.

AAA(Aluthentieation, Authorization, Accounting) protocol is an information securitv technology that offer secure and reliable user Authentication, Authorization, Accounting function systematically in various services. protocol and wireless network work as well as win network. Currently IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) AAA Working Group deal with about AAA protocol and studying with activity, But, recently it exposing much problems side to user's anonymity and privacv violation. Therefore, in this paper, AAAH(Home Authentication Server) authenticaters Mobile device, after that, use ticket that is issued from AAAH even if move to outside network and can be serviced offering authentication in outside network without approaching by AAAH, Also, we study mechanism that can offer user's privacy and anonymousness to when use service. Our mechanism is using Time Synchronization OTP and focusing authentication and authorization. Therefore, our mechanism is secure from third party attack and offer secure and effective authentication scheme. Also only right user can offer services by using ticket. can reduce signal and reduce delay of message exchanged, can offer persistent service and beighten security and efficiency.
