인터넷의 발달과 사용자 증가로 인해 IETF는 다양한 네트워크와 프로토콜 상에서 안전하고 신뢰성 있는 사용자 인증을 위해 AAA를 제안하였다. 그러나 AAA의 최신 버전인 Diameter 표준의 인증 방식은 상호인증과 부인방지를 제공하지 않는다. 이러한 Diameter의 인증을 보완하기 위해 공개키를 이용한 AAA 인증 방식이 제안되었으나, 통신과 연산의 오버헤드로 인해 이동 노드에 적용이 어렵다. 이러한 단점을 극복한 ID 기반 AAA 인증 방식이 제안 되었으나 공모공격과 위장공격으로부터의 취약점을 가진다. 이 논문에서는 공모공격과 위장공격에 안전하고, 계산적 전력적 능력이 부족한 이동 노드의 연산량을 감소시키는 새로운 ID기반 AAA인증 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식의 검증을 위해 기존 방식을 비교 평가하여 암호학적인 안전성과 연산량의 효율성을 검증한다. 제안 방식은 이동 노드의 인증시 2개의 난수를 생성하여 안전성을 제공하며, Mobile 노드의 지수연산을 줄임으로 계산 전력적 측면에서 효율적이고 서버의 성능에 따라 인증 수행 시간을 감소 시켜 끊김 없는 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다.

In order to support secure communication in VANET(Vehicular Ad hoc Network), messages exchanged between vehicles or between vehicle and infrastructure must be authenticated. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical anonymous authentication system for VANET. The proposed system model reduces the overhead of PKG, which is a problem of previous system, by generating private keys hierarchically, thereby enhancing practicality. We also propose a two-level hierarchical identity-based signature(TLHIBS) scheme without pairings so that improve efficiency. The proposed scheme protects the privacy of the vehicle by satisfying conditional privacy and supports batch verification so that efficiently verifies multiple signatures. Finally, The security of the proposed scheme is proved in the random oracle model by reducing the discrete logarithm problem(DLP) whereas the security proof of the previous ID-based signatures for VANET was incomplete.

RFID/USN이 큰 이슈가 되면서 RFID 에 대한 각종 연구와 응용이 현재 활발히 진행 중이다. 유선 네트워크상에서의 보안은 지금까지의 연구와 개발로 신뢰적인 통신이 가능하다. 그러나 RFID는 Air Interface를 전송매체로 사용하기 때문에 유선의 상황보다 외부의 노출정도가 훨씬 크다. 따라서 외부의 공격에 쉽게 노출 될 수 있으며 이를 보완하기위해 Tag안에 ID를 직접 넣지 않고 DataBase에서만 ID를 관리하는 방식의 RFID 인증 프로토콜을 제안했다. 기존의 RFID 인중 프로토콜보다 Reader의 작업량을 줄였고, 태그로부터 정보를 탈취하여 복호화 한다 하더라도 ID가 없기 때문에 쓸모없는 정보가 된다.

In the current medical information system, a system environment is constructed in which Biometric data generated by using IoT or medical equipment connected to a patient can be stored in a medical information server and monitored at the same time. Also, the patient's biometric data, medical information, and personal information after simple authentication using only the ID / PW via the mobile terminal of the medical staff are easily accessible. However, the method of accessing these medical information needs to be improved in the dimension of protecting patient's personal information, and provides a quick authentication system for first aid. In this paper, we implemented an automatic authentication system based on the patient's situation and evaluated its performance. Patient's situation was graded into normal and emergency situation, and the situation of the patient was determined in real time using incoming patient biometric data from the ward. If the patient's situation is an emergency, an emergency message including an emergency code is send to the mobile terminal of the medical staff, and they attempted automatic authentication to access the upper medical information of the patient. Automatic authentication is a combination of user authentication(ID/PW, emergency code) and mobile terminal authentication(medical staff's role, working hours, work location). After user authentication, mobile terminal authentication is proceeded automatically without additional intervention by medical staff. After completing all authentications, medical staffs get authorization according to the role of medical staffs and patient's situations, and can access to the patient's graded medical information and personal information through the mobile terminal. We protected the patient's medical information through limited medical information access by the medical staff according to the patient's situation, and provided an automatic authentication without additional intervention in an emergency situation. We performed performance evaluation to verify the performance of the implemented automatic authentication system.

This paper proposes a secret sharing based fast node authentication technique applicable to Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET) that can be used to construct self-organized communication network in multi drones and drone squadrons operations. Before deployment, each node stores an exponential share, exponential secret and a portion of PUF CRP table. After being deployed in the field, in the early-stage of network formation, each node broadcasts its ID, exponential share and a hash value of PUF Response and pseudo-random number. Then each node performs a reconstruction of the exponential secret using the exponential shares transmitted from neighboring nodes. When the exponential secret is reconstructed, simultaneous authentication is completed for all nodes that have transmitted the exponential share used in the reconstruction. A node that transmits an incorrect exponential share to disturb the reconstruction of the exponential secret during the authentication process can be detected before performing the reconstruction through the verification of the hash value, and will be excluded from the reconstruction.

This paper focuses on a header compression method for the Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) for application to 6LoWPAN. Based on the context, an extendible compression method is developed by analysing each field of the AH and ESP. The method is carried out by resetting the AH and ESP header compression formats, adding a MOD field, and setting different working modes. Authentication, encryption, and a mixture of certification and encryption are provided as flexible options. In addition, the value of the original IPv6 extensible header ID (EID) field can be retained, while the number of occupied NHC_ID values can be decreased for future extendibility. The experimental results show the feasibility and validity of the current compression method. By comparison with other solutions, the new mechanism is demonstrated to be advantageous in terms of compression ratio, flexibility and extendibility.

Authentication is an important service in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for an unattended environment. Recently, Das proposed a hash-based authentication protocol for WSNs, which provides more security against the masquerade, stolen-verifier, replay, and guessing attacks and avoids the threat which comes with having many logged-in users with the same login-id. In this paper, we point out one security weakness of Das' protocol in mutual authentication for WSN's preservation between users, gateway-node, and sensor nodes. To remedy the problem, this paper provides a secrecy improvement over Das' protocol to ensure that a legal user can exercise a WSN in an insecure environment. Furthermore, by presenting the comparisons of security, computation and communication costs, and performances with the related protocols, the proposed protocol is shown to be suitable for higher security WSNs.

User authentication based on ID and PW has been widely used. As the Internet has become a growing part of people' lives, input times of ID/PW have been increased for a variety of services. People have already learned enough to perform the authentication procedure and have entered ID/PW while ones are unconscious. This is referred to as the adaptive unconscious, a set of mental processes incoming information and producing judgements and behaviors without our conscious awareness and within a second. Most people have joined up for various websites with a small number of IDs/PWs, because they relied on their memory for managing IDs/PWs. Human memory decays with the passing of time and knowledges in human memory tend to interfere with each other. For that reason, there is the potential for people to enter an invalid ID/PW. Therefore, these characteristics above mentioned regarding of user authentication with ID/PW can lead to human vulnerabilities: people use a few PWs for various websites, manage IDs/PWs depending on their memory, and enter ID/PW unconsciously. Based on the vulnerability of human factors, a variety of information leakage attacks such as phishing and pharming attacks have been increasing exponentially. In the past, information leakage attacks exploited vulnerabilities of hardware, operating system, software and so on. However, most of current attacks tend to exploit the vulnerabilities of the human factors. These attacks based on the vulnerability of the human factor are called social-engineering attacks. Recently, malicious social-engineering technique such as phishing and pharming attacks is one of the biggest security problems. Phishing is an attack of attempting to obtain valuable information such as ID/PW and pharming is an attack intended to steal personal data by redirecting a website's traffic to a fraudulent copy of a legitimate website. Screens of fraudulent copies used for both phishing and pharming attacks are almost identical to those of legitimate websites, and even the pharming can include the deceptive URL address. Therefore, without the supports of prevention and detection techniques such as vaccines and reputation system, it is difficult for users to determine intuitively whether the site is the phishing and pharming sites or legitimate site. The previous researches in terms of phishing and pharming attacks have mainly studied on technical solutions. In this paper, we focus on human behaviour when users are confronted by phishing and pharming attacks without knowing them. We conducted an attack experiment in order to find out how many IDs/PWs are leaked from pharming and phishing attack. We firstly configured the experimental settings in the same condition of phishing and pharming attacks and build a phishing site for the experiment. We then recruited 64 voluntary participants and asked them to log in our experimental site. For each participant, we conducted a questionnaire survey with regard to the experiment. Through the attack experiment and survey, we observed whether their password are leaked out when logging in the experimental phishing site, and how many different passwords are leaked among the total number of passwords of each participant. Consequently, we found out that most participants unconsciously logged in the site and the ID/PW management dependent on human memory caused the leakage of multiple passwords. The user should actively utilize repudiation systems and the service provider with online site should support prevention techniques that the user can intuitively determined whether the site is phishing.
