u-TSN is a promising technology facilitating road safety and traffic management for drivers and passengers. To deploy this technology in a real environment, personal information and communicated data should be protected against malicious adversaries. Even though such adversaries would appear relatively infrequently, in such cases, the benefits of u-TSN could be disrupted and disabled. Therefore, one of the ultimate goals in the design of secure u-TSN is to protect against attacks of malicious adversaries. In this paper, we present secure communication scenario for u-TSN and implement security protocols and algorithms that are the components of the scenario on an IXP425 board. The security systems, implemented as a security module, supports secure and efficient communication for the u-TSN.

Recently, there are many efforts to support seamless mobility in 802.11 WLANs using IP Layer mobility protocols. The IP layer mobility protocols are the most efficient mechanism to guarantee the service session continuity when IP subnet is changed during handover. Even if the IP layer mobility protocols are quite efficient, the feature of the protocols that had been designed to consider only L3 layer makes it difficult to improve the performance of hand over more and more. Nowadays, to overcome this limitation of IP mobility protocols, many researchers have worked on the mobility protocols integration of different layers (e.g., L2 layer). In this paper, we propose the enhanced Proxy MIPv4 to minimize the latency of handover using MIH protocol in 802.11 WLANs. The proposed mechanism minimizes the latency of authentication by exchanging security keys between Access Routers during handover. Moreover, it also minimizes packet losses by Inter-AP Tunneling and data forwarding.

Since vehicles' trajectories are so complex and dense traffic changes in nature frequently, the VANET (Vehicles Ad-hoc Network), using Omni-directional Antenna, has many channel collisions (or overlapping) on Data Link phrases (MAC layers). It is not easy to keep a good seamless communication status for VANET because of its unpredictable network environment. Among VANET research, Directional Antenna have been proposed as one of the most common systematical solutions to reduce (or to mitigate) this miss-communication problems by narrowing communicational ranges and making use of its customized error-detection process. However, even though Directional Antennas help VANET keep good seamless communication, many VANET researchers have reported that Directional VANET still has miss-communicational problems - this has lead to problems like 'Directional Hidden Terminal Problem', 'Deafness', 'Un-accuracy Lobe Scopes' and 'High Deployment Cost' being reported in various papers. To establish well-organized design assessments for a good Directional VANET MAC protocol to overcome these problems, we rearranged and grouped current Directional VANET' qualitative criteria from several current survey papers using these categories- 'Directional Discovery', 'Directional Forwarding' and 'Directional Handover'. In addition, based on the results of the following analysis, we show the essential design concerns that need to be looked at in order to develop a well-designed Directional-VANET MAC protocol.

Portable Internet extended from wireless LAN has a large cell size, similar to a wireless mobile communication, and can provides the seamless service which offers middle-low speed mobility. IEEE 802.16e, the international standard of Portable Internet, uses PKMv2(Privacy Key Management) protocol for authorization and key exchange between a MSS(Mobile Subscriber Station) and a BS(Base Station). This paper first reviews and studies overall security architecture of TTA HPi standard and IEEE 802.16e which supports mobility based on WMAN(Wireless Metropolitan Area Network) standard(IEEE 802.16)

Recently, there is a drastic increase in users interested in real-time multimedia services in the WLAN environment, as the demand of IEEE 802.11 WLAN-based services increases. However, the handoff delay based on 802.11i security policy is not acceptable for the seamless real-time multimedia services provided to MS frequently moving in the WLAN environment, and there is a possibility of DoS attacks against session key derivation process and handoff mechanism. In this paper, a secure and efficient handoff mechanism in the centralized WLAN environment is introduced to solve the security problems. The 4-way Handshake for both mutual authentication and session key derivation is replaced by the 2-way Reassociation process.

무선으로 인터넷에 접속하는 사용자와 서비스의 급격한 증가로 인하여 차세대 인터넷 주소 체계인 IPv6가 제안되었다. 현재 IPv6의 기능들을 사용하면서 효과적으로 이동성을 제공하기 위한 해결책으로 Mobile IPv6(MIPv6)가 제안되고 있다. 하지만 MIPv6는 핸드오프와 관련된 동작을 하는 동안, 일정 시간 동안 통신이 불가능해짐으로 인해, 끊김 없는 통신 서비스를 제공하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 MIPv6 문제점을 해결하기 위해 context와 쿠키 정보를 이용하여 이동노드의 시그널 재초기화 과정을 없애고 패킷 손실 및 지연을 줄인 효율적이고 안전한 핸드오버 메커니즘을 제안한다.

Vehicular-to-anything (V2X) technology is attractive for wireless vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) because it allows for opportunistic choice of a vehicular protocol between vehicular-to-vehicular (V2V) and vehicular-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications. In particular, achieving seamless connectivity in a VANET with nearby network infrastructure is challenging. In this paper, we propose a density-based opportunistic broadcasting (DOB) protocol, in which opportunistic connectivity is carried out by using the nearby infrastructure and opposite vehicles for solving the problems of disconnection and long end-to-end delay times. The performance evaluation results indicate that the proposed DOB protocol outperforms the considered comparative conventional schemes, i.e., the shortest path protocol and standard mobile WiMAX, in terms of the average end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, handover latency, and number of lost packets.

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a host-based protocol supporting global mobility while Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based protocol supporting localized mobility. This paper makes its focus on how to reduce the longer delay and extra cost arising from the combination of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) and PMIPv6 further. Firstly, a novel authentication scheme (Proxy-AAA) is proposed, which supports fast handover mode and forwarding mode between different local mobility anchors (LMAs). Secondly, a cost analysis model is established based on Proxy-AAA. From the theoretical analysis, it could be noted that the cost is affected by average arrival rate and residence time.

When a DEV associates with an existing WPAN, the PNC checks the capabilities of the new DEV to see if it is more capable to be the PNC of the piconet based on the criteria defined in the IEEE Std 802.15. If the new DEV is more capable and the current security policies allow it, then the PNC has the option of handing over control of the piconet to the DEV that has just joined. And, If the PNC is shutting down or wants to leave the WPAN, it also uses the handover process to give control to another DEV in the piconet. However, IEEE 802.15.3 checks only DEV capability information for more PNC capable. For PNC selection, it should consider the radio coverage of new PNC capable DEVs. So, we propose the method of PNC selection with accessibility check. This method manages PNC candidate list in the current piconet. In this paper, we analyze accessibility problems for PNC selection in section 2. In section 3, we explain CI(Configuration Inquiry) process which is proposed by Sony Corporation and propose PCI(PNC Candidate Inquiry) process. Also, we perform numerical analysis to compare PCI process with CI process in section 4. Finally, we conclude in section 5.

As the IEEE 802.11 WLAN has widely installed as a high-speed wireless network information infrastructure, there has been growing interest in both security and mobility of mobile terminals. However, for the case of mobile terminal employing IEEE 802.11i security standard, it is known that the user authentication procedure of IEEE 802.1x for stronger security enforcement may, due to its large delay, not be suitable for real-time multimedia communication. In this paper, we have proposed fast authentication method to resolve the above authentication delay problem, and verifies its performance via simulation analysis. Mobile terminals can get AP information reliably, and selectively execute authentication in advance during handover, which results in fast user authentication. In addition, by effectively managing the authentication information in mobile terminal, which are distributed in advance for pre-authentication, the problem of long-time revelation of authentication information has been solved.
