In the paper, an algorithm fitted to P2P system was proposed by improving Kerberos which is an algorithm for mutual authentication. To keep the role of Kerberos and minimize load to server, the proposed algorithm imposed the server role of ticket recognition to the opposite peer. Using this method, the number of sewers as ticket recognition server was averted and function of server for authentication was minimized so that server load was mininized. The proposed algorithm enables the server to play the minimum of the role and to perform strong mutual authentication, while imposeing on the peers the role of authentication. To make suitable to P2P system, trial number oriented authentication limit was given, not time-oriented authentication expiration time. In the paper, a new P2P system was designed using this algorithm.

Authentication and authorization are essential functions for the security of distributed network environment. Authorization is determining and to decide whether a user or process is permitted to perform a particular operation. In this paper, we design an authorization mechanism to make a system more effective with Kerberos for authentication mechanism. In the authorization mechanism, Kerberos server operates proxy privilege server. Proxy privilege server manages and permits right of users, servers and services with using proposed algorithm. Also, privilege attribute certificate issued by proxy privilege server is used in delegation. We designed secure kerberos with proposed functions for effective authorization at the same time authentication of Kerberos mechanism.

Kerberos authenticates clients using symmetric-key cryptography, and supposed to Oust other systems of the realm in distributed network environment. But, authentication and authorization are essential elements for the security. In this paper, we design an efficient and secure authentication/authorization mechanism by introducing the public/private-key and installing the proxy privilege server to Kerberos. In the proposed mechanism, to make a system more secure, the value of the session key is changed everytime using MAC(message authentication code) algorithm with the long-term key for user-authentication and a random number exchanged through the public key. Also, we reduce the number of keys by simplifying authentication steps. Proxy privilege server certifies privilege request of client and issues a privilege attribute certificate. Application server executes privilege request of client which is included a privilege attribute certificate. Also, a privilege attribute certificate is used in delegation. We design an efficient and secure authentication/authorization algorithm with Kerberos.

Kerberos is designed to provide strong authentication between client and application servers which are working in distributed network environment by using symmetric-key cryptography, and supposed to trust other systems of the realm. In this paper, we design an efficient and strong authentication mechanism by introducing the public/private-key to Kerberos. In the mechanism to make a system more secure, the value of the session key is changed everytime using MAC(message authentication code) algorithm with the long-term key for user-authentication and a random number exchanged through the public key. Also, we employ a mutual authentication method, which is used on challenge-response mechanism based on digital signatures, to improve trust between realms, and present a way of reducing the number of keys by simplifying authentication steps.

분산 컴퓨터망에서의 고객과 서버간의 서비스는 인증이 완료된 후 제공되어야 한다. 분산망에서의 지금까지 알려진 대표적인 인증 시스템은 Kerberos 인증 기법이다. 현재 Kerberos 인증 방식에서는 대칭형 알고리듬인 DES 알고리듬과 패스워드에 바탕을 두고 있다. 그러나 여기서는 DES 의 채용으로 인한 안전성 문제와 영역(Realm) 간 인증 정보교환시 복잡한 키 관리가 요구되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Kerberos 인증 방식이 갖는 문제점을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 공개키 알고리듬을 이용한 인증 구조를 제안한다 또한 IDEA 를 이용한 인증 방식과 공개키 암호 알고리듬을 이용한 인증 방식을 시뮬레이션한다. 시뮬레이션에 이용된 C 루틴은 64 비트 IDEA 루틴, 128 비트 MD5 루틴, 고속의 지수 연산 루틴, 768 비트 지수 연산 루틴, 그리고 RSA 암호키 생성 루틴 등이다. 본 논문의 결과는 분산 컴퓨터 망에서의 인증 시스템 설계시 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we propose two authentication exchange schemes which combine public key-based mutual authentication with a Diffie-Hellman key derivation exchange. The security of key exchange of the proposed schemes depends on the discrete logarithm problem. The ,securtly of the etity authentication depends on that of the signature mechanism to be used in the proposed scheme. In comparisun with the Kerberos, X.509 exchanges, and ISO 3-way authentication protocol, the proposed schemes are not only simple and efficient. but also are resistant to the full range of replay and interceptiun attacks.

The request of Green-IT technology and recommend of computer hardware resource are increasing explosively. So, necessity of Cloud computing is increasing rapidly. Berkeley Univ. announced teens constituent that threat Cloud computing in 2009 and problem for user authentication should be solved as is urgentest among them. So, We wish to propose effective user authentication protocol in Cloud computing environment. Secure safety for user quotation through Kerberos's ticket issue that is existent representative user authentication techniques, and defined authentication procedure of two steps that flow user authentication and service authentication through PKI's. Is uncomplicated structurally more than efficiency for certification protocol and examination result about safety, existent PKI that propose and simplify achievement procedure and system configuration more than Kerberos and reduced response time.

본 논문에서는 X.509와 DNS를 연관하여 Kerberos를 기반으로 분산 인증 알고리즘을 제안한다. Kerberos 에서는 영역간의 서비스에 대하여 언급을 하지 않았기 때문에 영역간 인증은 X.509와 Domain Name System(DNS)를 사용하여 얻을 수 있는 체인에 의해서 수행하는 PKINIT를 통하여 이루어진다. 두 개의 프로토콜은 상이한 키 관리 방식을 갖고 있는데 Kerberos는 공통키에 기반을 두고 있는 반면에 X,509는 공개키 방식에 기반을 두고 있으므로 이들을 상호 연동시키기 위해 연결 세션은 Directory Service(DS)를 이용하였고, 실제적인 인증을 위해서는 Kerberos를 적용하였다. 새로운 알고리즘은 통신복잡도의 관점에서 고찰하면 IETF CAT 그룹에서 제안한 알고리즘을 개선하였다.
