  • Telecare Medical Information System (TMIS) helps the patients to gain the health monitoring information at home and access medical services over the mobile Internet. In 2015, Das et al proposed a secure and robust user AKA scheme for hierarchical multi-medical server environment in TMIS, referred to as DAKA protocol, and claimed that their protocol is against all possible attacks. In this paper, we first analyze and show DAKA protocol is vulnerable to internal attacks, impersonation attacks and stolen smart card attack. Furthermore, DAKA protocol also cannot provide confidentiality. We then propose a lightweight pseudonym AKA protocol for multi-medical server architecture in TMIS (short for PAKA). Our PAKA protocol not only keeps good security features declared by DAKA protocol, but also truly provides patient's anonymity by using pseudonym to protect sensitive information from illegal interception. Besides, our PAKA protocol can realize authentication and key agreement with energy-saving, extremely low computation cost, communication cost and fewer storage resources in smart card, medical servers and physical servers. What's more, the PAKA protocol is proved secure against known possible attacks by using Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic. As a result, these features make PAKA protocol is very suitable for computation-limited mobile device.

  • 최근 무선 인터넷에서 사용자의 위치정보가 다양한 응용의 정보 요소로 활용되기 시작하였고, 이러한 응용의 하나로 위치기반 서비스(Location-Based Service: LBS)가 주목을 받고 있다. 그러나 위치기반 서비스에서는 서비스를 요청하는 사용자가 자신의 정확한 위치 정보를 데이터베이스 서버로 보내기 때문에 사용자의 개인 정보가 노출될 수 있는 취약성을 지니고 있다. 이에 모바일 사용자가 안전하고 편리하게 위치기반 서비스를 사용하기 위한 개인 정보보호 방법이 요구되었다. 사용자의 위치 정보를 보호하기 위해 전통적인 데이터베이스에서의 개인정보 보호를 위해 사용되었던 K-anonymity의 개념이 적용되었고, 그에 따른 익명화를 수행할 수 있는 모델이 제시되었다. 하지만 기존 연구되었던 모델들은 오직 사용자의 정확한 위치 정보만을 민감한 속성으로 고려하여 익명화를 수행하였기 때문에, 이후 제시된 사용자의 프로필 정보를 고려한 모델에 대해서는 기존의 익명화만으로는 완전한 프라이버시를 보장할 수 없게 되어 추가적인 처리 과정을 필요로 하게 되었다. 본 연구는 프로필 정보를 고려한 위치기반 서비스 모델에서 Private-to-Public 질의가 주어지는 경우에 발생하는 추가적인 개인 식별의 위협에 관한 문제를 정의하고 이에 대한 해결책을 제시하며, 또한 제안 기법이 사용자 정보 보호를 보장하며 기존 방안보다 효율적임을 보인다.

  • The revelations made possible by Edward Snowden, a contractor of the US intelligence service NSA, are a sobering reminder that the Internet is not an 'anonymous' means of communication. In fact, the Internet has never been conceived with anonymity in mind. If anything, the Internet and networking technologies provide far more detailed and traceable information about where, when, with whom we communicate. The content of the communication can also be made available to third parties who obtain encryption keys or have the means of exploiting vulnerabilities (either by design or by oversight) of encryption software. Irrebuttable evidence has emerged that the US and the UK intelligence services have had an indiscriminate access to the meta-data of communications and, in some cases, the content of the communications in the name of security and protection of the public. The conventional means of judicial scrutiny of such an access turned out to be ineffectual. The most alarming attitude of the public and some politicians is "If you have nothing to hide, you need not be concerned." Where individuals have nothing to hide, intelligence services have no business in the first place to have a peek. If the public espouses the groundless assumption that State organs are benevolent "( they will have a look only to find out whether there are probable grounds to form a reasonable suspicion"), then the achievements of several hundred years of struggle to have the constitutional guarantees against invasion into privacy and liberty will quickly evaporate. This is an opportune moment to review some of the basic points about the protection of privacy and freedom of individuals. First, if one should hold a view that security can override liberty, one is most likely to lose both liberty and security. Civilized societies have developed the rule of law as the least damaging and most practicable arrangement to strike a balance between security and liberty. Whether we wish to give up the rule of law in the name of security requires a thorough scrutiny and an informed decision of the body politic. It is not a decision which can secretly be made in a closed chamber. Second, protection of privacy has always depended on human being's compliance with the rules rather than technical guarantees or robustness of technical means. It is easy to tear apart an envelope and have a look inside. It was, and still is, the normative prohibition (and our compliance) which provided us with protection of privacy. The same applies to electronic communications. With sufficient resources, surreptitiously undermining technical means of protecting privacy (such as encryption) is certainly 'possible'. But that does not mean that it is permissible. Third, although the Internet is clearly not an 'anonymous' means of communication, many users have a 'false sense of anonymity' which make them more vulnerable to prying eyes. More effort should be made to educate the general public about the technical nature of the Internet and encourage them to adopt user behaviour which is mindful of the possibilities of unwanted surveillance. Fourth, the US and the UK intelligence services have demonstrated that an international cooperation is possible and worked well in running the mechanism of massive surveillance and infiltration into data which travels globally. If that is possible, it should equally be possible to put in place a global mechanism of judicial scrutiny over a global attempt at surveillance.

  • Now a day, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are being widely used in different areas one of which is healthcare services. A wireless medical sensor network senses patient's vital physiological signs through medical sensor-nodes deployed on patient's body area; and transmits these signals to devices of registered medical professionals. These sensor-nodes have low computational power and limited storage capacity. Moreover, the wireless nature of technology attracts malicious minds. Thus, proper user authentication is a prime concern before granting access to patient's sensitive and private data. Recently, P. Kumar et al. claimed to propose a strong authentication protocol for healthcare using Wireless Medical Sensor Networks (WMSN). However, we find that P. Kumar et al.'s scheme is flawed with a number of security pitfalls. Information stored inside smart card, if extracted, is enough to deceive a valid user. Adversary can not only access patient's physiological data on behalf of a valid user without knowing actual password, can also send fake/irrelevant information about patient by playing role of medical sensor-node. Besides, adversary can guess a user's password and is able to compute the session key shared between user and medical sensor-nodes. Thus, the scheme looses message confidentiality. Additionally, the scheme fails to resist insider attack and lacks user anonymity.

  • Providing security has been always on priority in all areas of computing and communication, and for the systems that are low on computing power, implementing appropriate and efficient security mechanism has been a continuous challenge for the researchers. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is such an environment, which requires the design and implementation of efficient security mechanism. Earlier, the security protocols for RFID based on hash functions and symmetric key cryptography have been proposed. But, due to high strength and requirement of less key size in elliptic curve cryptography, the focus of researchers has been on designing efficient security protocol for RFID based on elliptic curves. In this paper, an efficient elliptic curve signcryption based security protocol for RFID has been proposed, which provides mutual authentication, confidentiality, non-repudiation, integrity, availability, forward security, anonymity, and scalability. Moreover, the proposed protocol successfully provides resistance from replay attack, impersonation attack, location tracking attack, de-synchronization attack, denial of service attack, man-in-the-middle attack, cloning attack, and key-compromise attack. Results have revealed that the proposed protocol is efficient than the other related protocols as it takes less computational time and storage cost, especially for the tag, making it ideal to be used for RFID systems.

  • A comment system is essential for communication on the Internet. However, there are also malicious comments such as inappropriate expression of others by exploiting anonymity online. In order to protect users from malicious comments, classification of malicious / normal comments is necessary, and this can be implemented as text classification. Text classification is one of the important topics in natural language processing, and studies using pre-trained models such as BERT and graph structures such as GCN and GAT have been actively conducted. In this study, we implemented a comment classification system using BERT, GCN, and GAT for actual published comments and compared the performance. In this study, the system using the graph-based model showed higher performance than the BERT.

  • The Internet leads the transformation of the all-over social life with its radical diffusion and development. Moreover, it can be more focussed on the electronic commerce using the Internet - a new type of commerce, which is diffusion and developing. In the paper, we propose an electronic payment protocol with a network-type electronic-cash based on Public Key Infrastructure(PKI). The proposed protocol overcomes the problem of NetBill which deals with only contents and can't ensure anonymity. It also prevents illegal copy and distribution and insures the greatest safety by means of giving a certification number to the digital contents offered on the on-line.

  • Big Data is strictly positioning one of method to deal with problems faced with mankind, not an icon of revolution in future anymore. Application of Big Data and protection of personal information have contradictoriness. When we weight more to usage of Big Data, someone's privacy is necessarily invaded. otherwise, we care more about keeping safe of individual information, only low-level of research using Big Data can be used to accomplish public purpose. In this study, we propose a method to anonymize Big Data collected in order to investigate the problems of personal information infringement and utilize Big Data and protect personal. This will solve the problem of personal information infringement as well as utilizing Big Data.
