Recently, user authentication schemes using smart cards for multi-server environment have been proposed for practical applications. In 2009, Liao-Wang proposed a secure dynamic ID based remote user authentication scheme for multi-server environment that can withstand the various possible attacks and provide user anonymity. In this paper, we analyze the security of Liao-Wang's scheme, and we show that Liao-Wang's scheme is still insecure against the forgery attack, the password guessing attack, the session key attack, and the insider attack. In addition, Liao-Wang's scheme does not provide user anonymity between the user and the server.

As for the application system or the user authentication scheme that is used in the system, various technologies including simple ID/PW, certificate, fingerprint/iris, phone, security card, and OTP are being used. But simple ID/PW and phone certification lack security features. As for the certificate, fingerprint/iris, and security card/OTP, the weakness in security has been quite strengthened, but there are costs and complexity involved to use these. This paper proposes a new measure of much safer and low-cost user authentication that improves the security level and uses mobile external storage media such as USB that people commonly have.

In this paper, we proposed a new secure RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) mutual authentication protocol on insecure communication channel which assumed that all communication channels between the database, the reader and the tag are insecure communication channels. The proposed protocol used a secure one-way hash function and the goal is to improve search time of a tag ID and overload of hash calculational load in DB. In addition, the proposed protocol supports not only basic security requirements to be provided by RFID mutual authentication protocol but also forward secrecy, and the tag does not generate a random number to reduce overload of processing capacity in it.

Cloud computing is a system which efficiently utilizes resources. In this paper, we propose 2-factor authentication system combing PKI, ID_PW and location information. The proposed method improve the security of hybrid cloud systems and manage resources more safely.

When an existing user authorization systems in Grid access many user to local system and subject DN (Distinguished Name) in a user-proxy authenticate and ID in local system is one-to-one mapping, they have difficulties in ID management, memory resource management and resource management. At this, a variety of subject DN is shared of one local ID in an existing Grid. But this faces many difficulties in applying all requirements for many Grid users. Thus, we suppose user authorization system based on a certificate not them based on ID in this paper. That is, we add user's access level to extension field in a certificate, and make a supposed authorization system decide access limitation level on resources instead of an existing ID mapping methods.

Previous RFID technique, it is recognizable without the physical contact between the reader and the tag, causes the serious privacy infringement such as excessive information exposure and user's location information tracking due to the wireless characteristics. Especially the information security problem of read only tag is solved by physical method. In this paper, we propose a low-cost mutual authentication protocol which is adopted to read-only tag and secure to several attacks using XOR and Partial ID. The proposed protocol is secure against reply attacking, eavesdropping, spoofing attacking and location tracking.

Since message forgery or alteration in VANET may cause severe consequences, authentication of critical messages must be provided. However, using normal digital signature may infringe privacy of drivers. Therefore, VANET requires authentication systems that provide conditional anonymity. In this paper, we propose a new authentication system for VANET. In our proposed system, each vehicle can update its pseudonym using re-encryption technique and digitally sign messages using representation problem on the pseudonym. By limiting the usage period, revocation of individual pseudonym is not required. Moreover, we also provide a way to revoke the vehicle itself. Secureness of our system partially rely on the usage of tamper-resistance hardware.

An arbitrary mobile device configures Ad-hoc network to provide the transmission of a data and services using wireless communications. A mobile device requires authentication and encryption key management to securely communicate in the Ad-hoc network. This paper examines the trend of the authentication in the Ad-hoc network and the group key management and suggests the plan for ID-based mutual authentication and group key establishment. ID-based mutual authentication in proposed scheme uses zero knowledge in the absence of shared information and is applied to establish a session key and group key. In addition, the proposed scheme is applied to Ad-hoc network to increase the efficiency and the safety of security technology.

In this paper, we analyse the vulnerabilities of KL scheme which is an ID-based authentication scheme for AMI network, and propose two kinds of authentication schemes which satisfy forward secrecy as well as security requirements introduced in the previous works. In the first scheme, we use MDMS which is the supervising system located in an electrical company for a time-synchronizing server, in order to synchronize smart grid devices in home, and we process device authentication with a new secret value generated by OTP function every session. In the second scheme, we use a secret hash-chain mechanism for authentication process, so we can use a new secret value every session. The proposed two schemes have strong points and weak points respectively and those depend on the services area and its environment, so we can select one of them efficiently considering real aspects of AMI environment.

In this paper, I have proposed a secure dynamic ID allocation protocol using mutual authentication on the RFID tag. Currently, there are many security protocols focused on the low-price RFID tag. The conventional low-price tags have limitation of computing power and rewritability of memory. The proposed secure dynamic ID allocation protocol targets to the high-performance RFID tags which have more powerful performance than conventional low-price tag by allocating a dynamic ID to RFID using mutual authentication based on symmetric encryption algorithm. This protocol can be used as a partial solution for ID tracing and forgery.
