With the improvement of wireless communication and embedded technology, WSN is used at various fields. Meanwhile, because WSN is resource constrained, it is more vulnerable than other networks. To solve the security problem of WSN, we can use the traditional secure mechanism like as cryptography and authentication. But the traditional secure mechanism is not enough for all security issues that may be happened in WSN, especially attacks caused by the compromised node. So, we need the IDS as the second secure mechanism for WSN. In this paper, we propose the Specification-based Intrusion Detection Mechanism that makes LEACH, which is one of the clustering routing protocol for WSN, more reliable and safety.

Most of banks in Korea provide smartphone banking services. To use the banking service, public key certificates with private keys, which are stored in personal computers, should be installed in smartphones. Many banks provides intermediate servers that relay certificates to smartphones over the Internet, because the transferring certificates via USB cable is inconvenient. In this paper, we analyze the certificate transfer protocol between personal computer and smartphone, and consider a possible attack based on the results of the analysis. We were successfully able to extract a public key certificate and password-protected private key from encrypted data packets. In addition, we discuss several solutions to transfer public key certificates from personal computers to smartphones safely.

Proxy signature schemes based on delegation of warrant are frequently studied in these days. Proxy signature schemes that used in these days have some problems about the security. Especially, it is difficult to prevent misuse of certification and private key. In this thesis, we propose the more stronger security structure by turning the point from original signer with proxy signer to original signer with verifier, and the proposed protocol is more stronger than previous scheme and can be applied to various PKI based application.

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes communicating in an infrastructure-less environment without the aid of a central administrating authority. Such networks entail greater dependency on synergy amongst the nodes to execute fundamental network operations. The scarcity of resources makes it economically logical for nodes to misbehave to preserve their resources which makes secure routing difficult to achieve. To ensure secure routing a mechanism is required to discourage misbehavior and maintain the synergy in the network. The proposed scheme employs a partially distributed dynamic model at each node for enhancing the security of the network. Supplementary information regarding misbehavior in the network is partially distributed among the nodes during route establishment which is used as a cautionary measure to ensure secure routing. The proposed scheme contemplates the real world scenario where a node may exhibit different kinds of misbehavior at different times. Thus, it provides a dynamic decision making procedure to deal with nodes exhibiting varying misbehaviors in accordance to their severity. Simulations conducted to evaluate the performance of the model demonstrate its effectiveness in dealing with misbehaving nodes.

J. Zhou et al. proposed a new public-key framewort in which the maximum lifetime of a certificate is divided into short periods and the certificate could be expired at the end of any period under the control of the certificate owner(or his manager in a corporate environment). However, J. Zhou et al.'s public-key framework is not suitable on implementation in real world. Therefore, we review some security Parameters to change them into more suitable ones for implementation and remove an unnecessary trust party of J. Zhou et al.'s public-key framework. Then, we propose an improved scheme for realistic solution. Moreover, we present a practical application based on the improved framework.

Currently, the industry uses MODBUS communication method using RS485 as a communication method used when constructing distributed equipment and networks. However, this method has a rather good transmission and reception distance, but has a disadvantage of being a half-duplex communication method. Therefore, there is a great need for a full-duplex communication method that can simultaneously transmit and receive two-wire communications. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new communication hardware equipment that can implement full-duplex communication method by communication signal level to overcome the disadvantage of communication speed. The proposed communication hardware is a structure that can transmit and receive at the same time on the same communication line in two equipments communicating in a two-wire system. The characteristic of this communication hardware is that the transmitter generates two-level signal for data transmission, but the receiver generates three-level electric signal according to the status of the transmission data generated by the receiver. The data transmission signal information of the receiver is present at the same time. Therefore, the receiving side can analyze the received signal based on the information on the current transmission signal and can analyze the signal only in the two communicating devices, so it can be seen that the communication security is very excellent.

Unlikely unicast transmission, there are many elements that threaten security. Thus, key management of creating and distributing group keys to authorized group members is a critical aspect of secure multicast operations. To offer security in multicast environment, the recent researches are related to most group key distribution. In this thesis, we propose a group key management protocol for efficient, scalable, and multicast operation. This proposed protocol architecture can distribute traffic centralized to the key server. since the group key rekeyed by sub-group manager. The detailed simulation compared with other group key management protocol show that the proposed group key management protocol is better for join, leave, and data latency.

In this paper, we are interested in a generalization of zero-knowledge interactive protocols between prover and verifier, especially to show that the product of an encrypted polynomial and a random polynomial, but published by a secure commitment scheme was correctly computed by the prover. To this end, we provide a generalized protocol for proving that the resulting polynomial is correctly computed by an encrypted polynomial and another committed polynomial. Further we show that the protocol is also secure in the random oracle model. We expect that our generalized protocol can play a role of building blocks in implementing secure multi-party computation including private set operations.

In this paper, we propose a group key management architecture for the secure group communications in mobile netwowrks and authenticated key agreement protocol for this system. Most of existing group key management schemes un certificates based on the public key for the purpose of user authentication and key agreement in secure fashion however, we use the ICPK(Implicitly Certified Public key) to reduce the bandwidth for a certificate exchanging and to improve a computational efficiency. In this architecture, we use two-tier approach to deal with key management where the whole group is divided into two parts; the first is a cell groups consisted of mobile hosts and another is a control group consisted of cell group managers. This approach can provide flexibility of key management such that the affection for a membership change is locally restricted to the cell group which is an autonomous area of the CGM(Cell Group Manager).

Machine to Machine (M2M) is a technology that presents communication between two or more devices with or without human intervention. M2M communications can be applied for various use cases such as environmental monitoring, health care, smart metering and etc. In most use cases, M2M utilizes sensor nodes to collect data from the intended environment and the data is transmitted back to M2M application through other devices (gateways, sink nodes). In some use cases, M2M devices are being designed to store and process sensor data for improving the reliability of the service; Gateways and sink nodes are also intended to store and process the gathered data from sensor nodes. This kind of approach is very challenging for both academy and industry. In order to enhance the performance of this approach, in this paper, we propose our Common Service Security Platform (CSSP) for M2M devices and gateways. CSSP platform presents solutions for the devices and gateways by making them operate more accurately and efficiently. Besides, we present a comparative analysis of communication protocols and present their performance in accordance with selected metrics.
