Various researchers conducted the research on two-factor authentication suitable for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) after Das first proposed two-factor authentication combining the smart card and password. After then, To improve the security of user authentication, elliptic curve cryptography(ECC)-based authentication protocols have been proposed. Jiang et al. proposed a privacy-aware two-factor authentication protocol based on ECC for WSM for resolving various problems of ECC-based authentication protocols. However, Jiang et al.'s protocol has the vulnerabilities on a lack of mutual authentication, a risk of SID modification and a lack of sensor anonymity, and user's ID exposed on sensor node Therefore, this paper proposed security enhanced privacy-aware two-factor authentication protocol for wireless sensor networks to solve the problem of Jiang et al.'s protocol, and security analysis was conducted for the proposed protocol.

In this study, the hybrid authorization quotation technique is based on the device ID for the integrity of the source region guarantee of user certificate, in order to improve the convenience and security for user in the hybrid PKI certificate Mechanism for authentication. The feature of the model in which it is presented from this paper is 5. First, because the user can select the policy himself in which it matches with each authentication situation and security level, the convenience can be improved. Second, the integrity of the source region of the user certificate can be guaranteed through the comparison of the DLDI Key, that is the hash-value of the device ID. Third, the security can be improved by continuously changing an encoding, and the value of the key in which it decodes through the EOTP Key. Fourth, the index value is added to a certificate, and the storage of a certificate is possible at the Multi-Device. Fifth, since the addi the inan aratus for the integrity of the source region guarantee of a certificate is not needed, the authentication process time can be reduced and the computational load of the certificate server can be reduced also.

일방향 해시 함수의 역함수 계산 어려움에 기반한 Hash Lock에 PKI방법을 적용하여 MetaID를 비밀키로써 사용한다. Reader는 미리 등록된 공개키(meta ID를 이용하여 생성된)로 Tag를 인증하고 meta ID로 각 Tag의 유일한 키(k)를 생성하며 이에 해당하는 mela ID = H(k)를 가지고 있다. 이 때 H()는 해쉬함수 이다. Tag는 자신의 비밀키를 이용하여 생성된 meta ID를 Reader에 보내고 Reader는 해당되는 키(k)를 만들어내고 Tag에 보낸다. 이때 Tag는 Reader로부터 보내어진 키(k)를 해쉬값과 자신의 meta ID를 비교하여, 그 값이 동일하면 자신의 ID를 전송한다. 이는 해쉬함수와 PKI만을 사용하므로 효율적이고 저비용으로 구현 가능하다.

Nespot provides a convenient wireless internet connection service. The existing IEEE 802.1X EAP-MD5 authentication mechanism can be achieved based on ID/password information for a wireless connection. The Nespot system offers an advanced accounting and authorization procedure for providing wireless user authentication mechanism. However, many problems were found on the existing Nespot EAP-MD5 mechanism such as a ill value exposure, a leakage of personal information on wireless authentication procedure and a weakness on Nespot mutual authentication mechanism. Therefore, we analyzed the limitation of the existing IEEE 802.1X EAP-MD5 certification system, and suggested a one-time session key based authentication mechanism. And then we offered a simplified encryption function on the Nespot certification process for providing secure mutual authentication process.

With the recent development of biometric authentication technology, the user authentication techniques using biometric authentication are increasing. Various problems arised in certification techniques that use various existing methods such as ID/PW. Therefore, recently, a method of improving security by introducing biometric authentication as secondary authentication has been used. In this thesis, proposal of the user authentication system that can detect user identification and anomalies using ECGs that are extremely difficult to falsify through the electrical biometric signals from the heart among various biometric authentication devices is studied. The system detects user anomalies by comparing ECG data received from a wrist-mounted wearable device-type ECG measurement tool with identification and ECG data stored in blockchain form on the database and identifying the user's location through a beacon system.

In this paper, we analyze the authentication protocol for DRM proposed by Hussain et al. in 2022, and present an improved solution. Hussain et al. argued that their authentication protocol guarantees man-in-the-middle attack, replay attacks, and mutual authentication. However, as a result of analyzing Hussain et al.'s authentication protocol in this paper, Hussain et al.'s authentication protocol still has an insider attack problem, a problem with Yu et al.'s authentication protocol that they pointed out. For this reason, when an inside attacker acquires information on a mobile device, a user impersonation attack was also possible. In addition, there were problems with the user's lack of ID format verification and the problem of the secret key mismatch of the digital contents between the server and the user. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved solution to solve these problems. As a result of analysis in this paper, the improved solution is safe from various attacks such as smart card attack, insider attack, and password guessing attack and can safely authenticate users of DRM.

In the sensor network security area, previous works were mainly concentrated on achieving authentication, confidentiality, integrity and availability. But the ID exposure issue is recently an increasing concern in research community. To protect the ID exposure from various attacks, the most common approach is to make use of a dynamic pseudonym rather than the real ID. However, if a node's secret key (or hash key) and the current pseudonym (such as a random number) are exposed, the attacker can easily generate the previous/next pseudonyms. In this paper, we propose a security infra-structure scheme for enabling strong anonymity of sensor nodes. Our scheme ensures that the probability being able to generate a pseudonym is very low even if a sensor node has been compromised with an attacker. Security analyses have proven that our scheme is suitable for sensor network environments in terms of preserving of forward anonymity as well as backward anonymity.

In this paper, we analyzed that the user authentication scheme for TMIS(Telecare Medicine Information System) proposed by Al-Saggaf et al. In 2019, Al-Saggaf et al. proposed authentication scheme using biometric information, Al-Saggaf et al. claimed that their authentication scheme provides high security against various attacks along with very low computational cost. However in this paper after analyzing Al-Saggaf et al's authentication scheme, the Al-Saggaf et al's one are missing random number s from the DB to calculate the identity of the user from the server, and there is a design error in the authentication scheme due to the lack of delivery method. Al-Saggaf et al also claimed that their authentication scheme were safe against a variety of attacks, but were vulnerable to password guessing attack using login request messages and smart cards, session key exposure and insider attack. An attacker could also use a password to decrypt the stored user's biometric information by encrypting the DB with a password. Exposure of biometric information is a very serious breach of the user's privacy, which could allow an attacker to succeed in the user impersonation. Furthermore, Al-Saggaf et al's authentication schemes are vulnerable to identity guessing attack, which, unlike what they claimed, do not provide significant user anonymity in TMIS.

This paper proposes a method to shut out all of the not certified network access packet by embodying the two-factor(MAC ADDRESS, ID/PASSWORD) authentication system. The Authenticating Gateway System takes over central server's policy and permit or hold up the packet by inherited policy. And checks the whether or not patched the OS version and getting influenced from computer virus. And takes the information about client's resources(H/W, S/W) without Agent in the client. That makes more stability of network operating circumstance and fast facing the attack from hackers. In the fixed mobile network circumstance, This method provides more simplicity and less expenses than IEEE802.1x authentication system(cisco nac).
