  • We propose a specific ubiquitous sensor network (USN) architecture as a promising candidate of the future telemedicine model which offers the patient's mobility and more cost-efficient medical care system. This new USN architecture is a kind of cell-based secure sensor network supporting encrypted multi-casting communications and it has a hybrid routing protocol by adapting flat routing to hierarchical routing. For the patient's privacy and the protection of patient's vital information from eavesdropping, we adopt a lightweight PKI-based secure communication protocol with some formal presentation on its core procedure.

  • In the host-based Mobile IPv6, a mobile node is responsible for doing the signaling to its home agent to enable session continuity as it moves between subnets. To remove the mobile node's signalling processing load, the network-based Mobile IPv6 has been proposed recently. It allows session continuity for a mobile node without its involvement in mobility management. The proxy mobility agent in the network performs the signaling and does the mobility management on behalf of the mobile node. However, to make secure communications for a mobile node, security mechanisms against diverse attacks should be adopted. To do this, first of all security threats to the network-based Mobile IPv6 should be also identified and analyzed. Potential attack objectives may be to consume network services at the cost of a legitimate mobile node and, eavesdropping and fabrication of user traffic through interception of a mobile node's communications. This paper identifies and discusses security threats to the network-based Mobile IPv6 in details. The results of threats analysis are limited to threats that are peculiar to the network-based Mobile IPv6 except threats to IPv6 in general.

  • In this paper, we analyze a time-based update method in location management and calculate the optimal time-interval. We obtain the probability that an MT is j rings away from the center cell. And using these values, an exact analysis is made for the time-based location management cost. From the result, when the time-based method is applied to location update, we can get the optimal time-interval which minimizes the location management cost.

  • Internet/Intranet has been continuously enhanced by new emerging IP technologies such as differentiate service(DiffServ), IPSec(IP Security) and MPLS(Multi-protocol Label Switching) traffic engineering. According to the increased demands of various real-time multimedia services, ISP(Internet Service Provider) should provide enhanced end-to-end QoS(quality of service) and security features. Therefore, Internet and Intranet need the management functionality of sophisticated traffic engineering functions. In this paper, we design and implement the performance management functionality for the guaranteed end-to-end QoS provisioning on MPLS-based VPLS(Virtual Private LAN Service). We propose VPLS OAM(Operation, Administration and Maintenance) for efficient performance management. We focus on a scheme of QoS management and measurement of QoS parameters(such as delay, jitter, loss, etc.) using VPLS OAM functions. The proposed performance management system also supports performance tuning to enhance the provided QoS by re-adjusting the bandwidth of LSPs for VPLS. We present the experimental results of performance monitoring and analysis using a network simulator.

  • The development of Societal and Scientific technologies have increased risk of dysfunction caused by new technologies such as nuclear power, information technology. Also, urbanization and population density is increasing risk to high-rise building fires, traffic accidents, crime and etc. Implementation of wireless communication network on the societal security is very necessary for prevention, preparation and response against these risks. It always consists maintenance, management and the network must be maintained in an emergency. In this paper, we studied the societal security wireless communication network for prevention, preparation and response against complex disasters, and analyzed requirements(essential function, add-ons) for implementation network in the societal security wireless network.

  • The agents for security surveillance are not enough for monitoring CCTV system, so the intelligent automatic surveillance system is needed. In this paper, object detection, tracking and abnormal event detection system is implemented for intelligent CCTV system. Each modules are tested on the real CCTV environment and promoted for commercialization. Abnormal event detection module and loitering detection and sudden running detection function and it's detection time is under 1 second which is satisfied level.

  • In traditional digital signature schemes, certificates signed by a trusted party are required to ensure the authenticity of the public key. In Asiacrypt 2003, the concept of certificateless signature scheme was introduced. The advantage of certificateless public key cryptography successfully eliminates the necessity of certificates in the traditional public key cryptography and simultaneously solves the inherent key escrow problem suffered in identity-based cryptography. Recently, Yap et al. proposed an efficient certificateless signature scheme and claimed that their scheme is existentially unforgeable in the random oracle model. In this paper, we show that the certificateless signature scheme proposed by Yap et al. is insecure against public key replacement attacks. Furthermore, we propose an improved certificateless signature scheme, which is existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message attacks under the computational Diffie-Hellman assumption in the random oracle model and provide the security proof of the proposed scheme.

  • The forms of current war are diversified over the pan-national industry. Among these, one kind of threats which has permeated the cyber space based on the advanced information technology causes a new type of war. C4ISR, the military IT revolution, as a integrated technology innovation of Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance suggests that the aspect of the future war hereafter is changing much. In this paper, we design the virtual decoy system and intrusion trace marking mechanism which can capture various attempts and evidence of intrusion by hackers in cyber space, trace the penetration path and protect a system. By the suggested technique, we can identify and traceback the traces of intrusion in cyber space, or take a legal action with the seized evidence.

  • In this paper we propose an efficient authentication and key agreement protocol which has been designed specifically for use with low powered computationally weak equipment such as Cellular phone and PDA(Personal Digital Assistant). Imple-menting the protocol based on the Rabin cryptosystem provides the efficiency requirements for mobile communications including minimum number of passes and low computational lead. The paper outlines the new protocol, examines it s various aspects, and compares them to those representative authentication and key agreement protocols.

  • Industry 4.0 is continuous automation by applying the latest smart technologies to traditional manufacturing industries. It means that large-scale M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies are well integrated to build efficient production systems by analyzing and diagnosing various issues without human intervention. Edge computing is widely used for M2M services that handle real-time interactions between devices at industrial machinery tool sites. Here, secure data transmission is required while interacting. Thus, this paper focused on a method of creating and maintaining secret key and security tag used for message authentication between end-devices and edge-device.
