Recently, Gu and Xue proposed an improved secret handshakes scheme with unlinkability by modifying the Huang-Cao scheme. Their proposal not only solves security weakness in the Huang-Cao scheme but also is more efficient than previously proposed secret handshakes schemes. In this letter, we examine the correctness of Gu and Xue's security requirements and show that the adversary model is not correctly defined. We also show that the Gu-Xue scheme is not secure against the attacks under correctly defined adversary model.

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.

Wireless LAN (WLAN) is type of wireless service that has higher data transmission than current cellular networks. The usage is continually increasing. There are a lot of vulnerabilities in wireless network, due to the properties of the wireless environment, regardless of its popularity. IEEE announced the 802.11i security standard to solve these problems. The vulnerable point of messages used in the process of key distribution for 802.11i makes the target node attacked lose memory through continuous messages and blocks the legitimate WLAN service. In this paper, we proposed new schemes to solve this problem and compared our proposals with the current process. The proposed protocol eliminates the memory exhaustion problem on the client side by using methods for reduction of memory usage.

Both security enhancement in wireless and fast access for mobility are required to employ wireless LAN in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). However, for the case of employing IEEE 802.11i security standard, it is known that the user authentication procedure of IEEE 802.1x and 4-way handshake procedure for stronger security enforcement may not be suitable for ITS due to its large delay. In this paper, we propose fast authentication method to resolve the above authentication delay problem, and verify its performance via simulation analysis.

Recently, with increasing scale of internet of Things (IoT), a large amount of data are generated and various services using such data are emerging. Therefore, a protocol suitable for IoT environment that can efficiently process / transmit big data is needed. MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol for IoT environment. Although MQTT protocol can use TLS to provide security, it has a problem in that handshake and packet overhead will increase when TLS is used. Therefore, this paper proposed as Secure_MQTT protocol. It can provide stronger security by using lightweight encryption algorithm for MQTT protocol.

Optical image stabilization is a device to compensate the camera movement in the exposure time. The compensation is implemented by movable lens or image sensor that adjusts the optical path to the camera movement. Generally, the camera is moved by a handshake, thus the handshake is considered as an external disturbance. However, there are many other vibrations such as car and train vibration. In this paper, the optical image stabilization system in high frequency region is presented. Notch filter and lead compensator are designed and applied to improve the stability without changing the actuator. To verify the performance of the optical image stabilization system in high frequency region, the experiment equipment with moving object is established. It is confirmed that the opticalimage stabilization system does not diverge at the resonance frequency.

In a vehicular ad hoc network, the communication links are unsteady due to the rapidly changing topology, high mobility and traffic density in the urban environment. Most of the existing geographical routing protocols rely on the continuous transmission of beacon messages to update the neighbors' presence, leading to network congestion. Source-based approaches have been proven to be inefficient in the inherently unstable network. To this end, we propose an opportunistic beaconless packet forwarding approach based on a modified handshake mechanism for the urban vehicular environment. The protocol acts differently between intersections and at the intersection to find the next forwarder node toward the destination. The modified handshake mechanism contains link quality, forward progress and directional greedy metrics to determine the best relay node in the network. After designing the protocol, we compared its performance with existing routing protocols. The simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed protocol in terms of packet delay and data delivery ratio in realistic wireless channel conditions.

One of major characteristics in wireless LAN is terminal's frequent mobility, so it makes many overheads in the process of authentications repeatedly at each handoffs. So I propose IAPP(Inter Access Point Protocol) of IEEE 802.11f, modified context block and 4 way handshake of IEEE 802.11i, in order to implement secure and rapid handoff. The context block. I proposed, doesn't makes any communication with RADIUS server at handoff period. Therefore, it guarantee higher efficiency than existing handoff mechanisms. Also it can improve security vulnerability by padding authentication field in the context block for providing in advance against Replay and DoS(Denial of Service) attacks.

The channel throughput and packet delay of wireless media control (MAC) protocols with Rayleigh fading, log-normal shoadowing and near-far effects are analyzed. We consider CSMA/CA protocols as the wireless MAC protocols, since CSMA/CA protocols are based on the standard for wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) IEEE 802. 11. We have found that the performance of CSMA/CA in radion channel model is reduced above 50% than those of error free channel model in low traffic load. We also found that 4-Way Handshake CSMA/CA protocol is supterior to the other CSMA/CA protocols in high traffic load.

In this paper, the performance of data communication function of military radio equipment P-999K is analyzed based on the standard CSMA/CA protocol which is DFWMAC standard protocol done by IEEE802.11 work group. Basic three standard protocols, i.e. Basic CSMA/CA, Stop & Wait ARQ and 4-Way Handshake CSMA/CA protocols are analyzed and compared with each other under the hidden terminal environment. The computer simulation is also done by using SIMSCRIPT II.5 which is popular software tool for an independent processing. The results show that p-persistent(with p=0.3) CSMA scheme is superior to non-persistent CSMA scheme with non-hidden terminal condition, but the performances of both schemes are almost same with hidden terminal situation. And the results of computer simulations are also showed that Basic CSMA/CA protocol is superior to the other protocols when the ratio of hidden terminals is below 10 % of total user population, however, with the above 20% hidden terminals environment and the higher offered traffic conditions the 4-Way Handshake CSMA/CA protocol shows the most superior performance.
