As the ID-based public key cryptosystems become a very active research area, a number of ID-based key agreement protocols have been proposed, but unfortunately many of them were analyzed that there were some security flaws in the protocols. In addition to key agreement protocols, in recent, Liu et al. and Kim et al. proposed the key agreement protocols that multiple session keys are established at once among participated entities. In this paper, we propose an ID-based tripartite key agreement protocol that establishes 8 keys by improving the efficiency of the Liu et al's. Moreover, the proposed protocol can be used in the situation where multiple different private key generators(PKG) are involved. Therefore, because the private key issued by different PKGs belonging to each entity's domain can be used, our proposed scheme is more efficiently applicable to the practical applications.

The proliferation of the Internet and the rapid progress of wire/wireless communication technology makes security of digital images more and more important since the exchanges of digital images occur more and more frequently. And as the tight relationship between chaos theory and cryptography, many researches for development of new encryption systems based on chaotic maps have been widely progressed recently. In this paper, we propose a digital image encryption system based on both one-dimensional PLCM(Piecewise Linear Chaotic Map) and two-dimensional baker map. This proposed system is a product cipher that contains a perturbance-based chaotic stream cipher based on ID PLCM and a chaotic block cipher based on 2D baker map and is very high secure and easily implementable cipher having both a good confusion property and a good diffusion property. And with test results, we showed this system is very secure against statistical attacks.

스마트카드는 편리성과 안전성의 특성으로 인해 원격 시스템 인증에 다양하게 사용된다. 카드를 사용해서 통신하는 분야에서는 스마트카드에 대한 보안과 카드 소지자의 인증이 매우 중요하다. 기존 패스워드와 스마트카드를 이용한 원격 사용자 인증 기법은 공격자에 의해서 정당한 아이디와 패스워드 쌍을 쉽게 만들 수 있게 됨으로써 위장 공격이 가능한 취약점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 카드 보안 기술의 특징을 기반으로 하여 안전하고 편리한 사용자 인증 서비스를 제공하기 위해 키 생성 알고리즘인 ID-based Bilinear Pairing 암호방식을 이용해서 스마트카드 사용자와 서버 사이에 인증 스킴을 제안한다.

Delegation of signing capability is a common practice in various applications. Mambo et al. proposed a proxy signatures as a solutions for delegation of signing capability. Proxy signatures allow a designated proxy signer to sign on behalf of an original signer. After the concept of proxy signature scheme is proposed, many variants are proposed to support more general delegation setting. To capture all possible delegation structures, the concept of delegation network was proposed by Aura. ID-based cryptography, which is suited for flexible environment, is desirable to construct a delegation network. Chow et al proposed an ID-based delegation network. In the computational point of view, their solution requires E pairing operations and N elliptic curve scalar multiplications where E and N are the number of edges and nodes in a delegation structure, respectively. In this paper, we proposed an efficient ID-based delegation network which requires only E pairing operations. Moreover, we can design a modified delegation network that requires only N pairing operations.

The main obstacle hindering the wide deployment of identity-based cryptosystem is that the entity responsible for creating the private key has too much power. As a result, private keys are no longer private. One obvious solution to this problem is to apply the threshold technique. However, this increases the authentication computation, and communication cost during the key issuing phase. In this paper, we propose a new effi ient model for issuing multiple private keys in identity-based encryption schemes based on the Weil pairing that also alleviates the key escrow problem. In our system, the private key of a user is divided into two components, KGK (Key Description Key) and KUD(Key Usage Desscriptor), which are issued separately by different parties. The KGK is issued in a threshold manner by KIC (Key Issuing Center), whereas the KW is issued by a single authority called KUM (Key Usage Manager). Changing KW results in a different private key. As a result, a user can efficiently obtain a new private key by interacting with KUM. We can also adapt Gentry's time-slot based private key revocation approach to our scheme more efficiently than others. We also show the security of the system and its efficiency by analyzing the existing systems.

As cloud computing is activated, a variety of cloud services are being distributed. However, to use each different cloud service, you must perform a individual user authentication process to service. Therefore, not only the procedure is cumbersome but also due to repeated authentication process performance, it can cause password exposure or database overload that needs to have user's authentication information each cloud server. Moreover, there is high probability of security problem that being occurred by phishing attacks that result from different authentication schemes and input scheme for each service. Thus, when you want to use a variety of cloud service, we proposed OpenID based user authentication scheme that can be applied to a multi-cloud environment by the trusted user's verify ID provider.

In this paper, we show that the status certificate-based encryption(SCBE) scheme proposed at ICISC 2004 and the certificateless signature(CLS) scheme proposed at EUC workshops 2006 are insecure. Both schemes are claimed that an adversary has no advantage if it controls only one of two participants making a cryptographic key such as a decryption key in SCBE or a signing key in CLS. But we will show that an adversary considered in the security model of each scheme can generate a valid cryptographic key by replacing the public key of a user.

Identity Privacy issues such as exposures of IMSIs(International Mobile Subscriber Identities) in access network have been consistently raised throughout GSM, UMTS, LTE in 3GPP. The 3GPP specification uses temporary identities instead of IMSI to ensure anonymity of the user. Even if temporary identities are disclosed, Identity Privacy may be maintained at a safe level by security policies such as no linkability and periodic update. But in case of IMSI, it cannot be changed even though it is exposed. There still exist some situations that IMSI is used in clear text for the authentication. Therefore, a protective mechanism for the identity confidentiality is needed. In this paper we propose a protocol based on IBE(Identity-based Encryption) to protect permanent identities in access network. By simplifying the scheme, this protocol has minimized the system impact on current 3GPP environment. And this scheme can be applied to all kind of permanent identities and 3GPP AKA(Authentication and Key Agreement) protocols in access network.

A group key agreement protocol allows a group of user to share a key which may later be used to achieve certain cryptographic goals. In this paper, we propose a new scalable two-round ID-based group key agreement protocol which would be well fit to a Pay-TV system, additionally. to the fields of internet stock quotes, audio and music deliveries, software updates and the like. Our protocol improves the three round poop key agreement protocol of Nam et al., resulting in upgrading the computational efficiency by using the batch verification technique in pairing-based cryptography. Also our protocol simplifies the key agreement procedures by utilizing ID-based system. We prove the security of our protocol under the Computational Diffie-Hellman assumption and the Bilinear Decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption. Also we analyze its efficiency.

The SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems are used to control some critical national infrastructures such as electricity, gas, and water distribution systems. Recently, there are many researches on key management scheme for secure communication due to change to the open network environment. We propose a new key management method which is established on ID-based cryptosystem using pairing on MTU(Master Terminal Unit), Sub-MTU, and RTU(Remote Terminal Unit). Furthermore, we present a redistribution protocol of private key of each device and a system recovery protocol as a countermeasure of exposure of KMS(Key Management System) master key which is occurred by some unexpected accidents or malicious attacks.
