In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual authentication protocol for secure and efficient home network service. Lee et al. recently proposed an attribute-base authentication key agreement protocol using public key in home network. Its protocol provided forward secrecy but don't diminish conspicious overhead of operation using ticket. Therefore the proposed protocol provided the security and efficiency using hash function and counter. Also it can provide secure home network service by check consumer electronics control level of users after created session key.

A Signcryption proposed by Yuliang Zheng in 1997 is a hybrid public key primitive that combines a digital signature and a encryption. It provides more efficient method than a straightforward composition of an signature scheme with a encryption scheme. In a mobile communication environment, the authenticated key agreement protocol should be designed to have lower computational complexity and memory requirements. The password-based authenticated key exchange protocol is to authenticate a client and a server using an easily memorable password. This paper proposes an secure Authenticated Key Exchange protocol using Signcryption scheme. In Addition we also show that it is secure and a more efficient that other exiting authenticated key exchange protocol.

Mobile payment system has many problems in real mobile payment networks because of the characteristics of mobile device and the security of mobile payment process. Specially, the previous suggested mobile payment protocol can not verify a trust of issuing bank. Therefore, this paper has analyzed the efficiency of a mobile payment with a delegating authority for an issuing bank to trust issuing bank. As a result, the mobile payment protocol with a delegating authority for a payment verification of an issuing bank has improved the time complexities for key computation and communication resilience.

Seo와 Sweeny는 통신 당사자간의 직접적인 세션키(session key) 교환을 위해 SAKA(Simple Authenticated Key Agreement Algorithm)를 제안했다. SAKA는 패스워드(password)를 사용하여 사용자인증 기능을 제공하는 변형된 Diffie-Hellman 키 교환 프로토콜로써, 키 생성 및 사용자 인증 시 요구되는 계산량과 메시지 전송량을 고려할 때 효율적인 프로토콜이다. 그러나, 최근에 Lin은 SAKA의 안전성에 취약점이 있음을 지적하고 개선된 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 개선된 프로토콜이 여전히 재전송 공격(replay attack)에 안전하지 않기 때문에 사용자 인증을 제공 할 수 없음을 보인다.

Mobile communication has become more pervasive and it is considered as one of main concerns oi conferencing, multi-user games and etc. in mobile environment. These applications need to secure communication in group. Most of the published protocols are based on model which consists of a stationary base station and a cluster of mobile devices. In this paper, we have focused on the extended model of which participants are several base stations and mobile devices in different cells. We present a new group key protocol among mobile devices in different cells and analyze its security And we also look at how password authentication can be used to our group key agreement protocol. The mobile device's computing load may be reduced by using password authentication.

To provide the confidentiality of messages transmitted over the network, the use of cryptographic system is increasing gradually and the hybrid cryptosystem, which combines the advantages of the symmetric cryptosystem and the public key cryptosystem is widely used. In this paper, we proposes a new hybrid cryptosystem capable of providing implicit authentication for the sender of the ciphertext by means of the 1-pass key distribution protocol that offers implicit key authentication, hash function and symmetric cryptosystem. Also, we describe some examples such as the Diffie-Hellman based system and the Nyberg-Ruppel based system. The proposed hybrid cryptosystem is an efficient more than general public key cryptosystems in the aspect of computation work and provides implicit authentication for the sender without additional increase of the communication overhead.

Authentication and Key Agreement using password provide convenience and amenity, but what human can remember has extremely low entropy. To overcome its defects, AMP(Authentiration and key agreement via Memorable Password) which performs authentication and key agreement securely via low entropy password are presented. AMP uses Diffie-Hellman problem that depends on discrete logarithm problem. Otherwise, this thesis applies elliptic curve cryptosystem to AMP for further efficiency That is, this thesis presents EC-AMP(Elliptic Curve-AMP) protocol based on elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem instead of discrete logarithm problem, and shows its high performance through the implementation. EC-AMP secures against various attacks in the random oracle model just as AMP Thus, we nay supply EC-AMP to the network environment that requires authentication and key agreement to get both convenience and security from elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem.

Despite several years of intense research, the security and cryptography in wireless sensor networks still have a number of ongoing problems. This paper describes how identification (ID)-based node authentication can be used to solve the key agreement problem in a three-layer interaction. The scheme uses a novel security mechanism that considers the characteristics, architecture, and vulnerability of the sensors, and provides an ID-based node authentication that does not require expensive certificates. The scheme describes the routing process using a simple ID suitable for low power and ID exposure, and proposes an ID-based node authentication. This method achieves low-cost communications with an efficient protocol. Results from this study demonstrates that it improves routing performance under different node densities, and reduces the computational cost of key encryption and decryption.

Girault proposed a key agreement protocol based on his new idea of self-certified public key. Later Rueppel and Oorschot showed variants of the Girault scheme. All of these key agreement protocols inherit positive features of self-certified public key so that they can provide higher security and smaller communication overhead than key agreement protocols not based on self-certified public key. Even with such novel features, rigorous security analysis of these protocols has not been made clear yet. In this paper, we give rigorous security analysis of key agreement protocols based on self-certified public key. We use reduction among functions for security analysis and consider several kinds of active attacker models such as active impersonation attack, key-compromise impersonation attack, forward secrecy and known key security.

A conference key agreement system is a scheme to generate a session key in a contributory manner in order to communicate with each other securely among participants. In this paper an efficient conference key agreement system is proposed by employing symmetric balanced incomplete block design(SBIBD), one class of block designs. The protocol presented not only minimizes the message overhead and message exchanging rounds but also makes every participant contribute evenly for generating a conference key. Our protocol constructs a conference key which takes modified Diffe-Helman form of ${\prod}_{i=0}^{v-1}R_i$, where v is the number of participants and $R_i$ is a random number generated from member i. In a special class of SBIBD, it takes only 3 rounds message exchange and message overhead is $O(v{\sqrt{v}})$. Our protocol can be proved as computationally difficult to calculate as discrete logarithms.
