Recently, the various web service and applications are provided to the user. As to these service, because of providing the service to the authenticated user, the user undergoes the inconvenience of performing the authentication with the service especially every time. The OAuth(Open Authorization) protocol which acquires the access privilege in which 3rd Party application is limited on the web service in order to resolve this inconvenience appeared. This OAuth protocol provides the service which is convenient and flexible to the user but has the security vulnerability about the authorization acquisition. Therefore, we propose the method that analyze the security vulnerability which it can be generated in the OAuth 2.0 protocol and secure user authority authentication method.

Open API의 사용이 대중화되면서 대형 포털사이트 및 대형 소셜 네트워크 서비스에 입력한 개인정보를 바탕으로 사용자들이 원하는 서비스를 제공하는 외부 서비스(Third-party application)의 수가 계속 증가하고 있다. 이러한 외부 서비스들이 정보 제공자에게 개인정보를 요청할 때, 외부 서비스가 권한 부여를 받은 정당한 요청을 하는지 여부를 확인하기 위해 OAuth 인증 프레임워크를 사용한다. 그러나 외부 서비스가 유효한 요청을 하고 있음을 판단하기 위해 사용하는 엑세스 토큰을 탈취하면 이를 이용하여 로그인 과정을 우회할 수 있으며, 개인정보 또한 쉽게 취득 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 취약점을 해결하기 위해 OAuth 인증 프레임워크에 2차적인 인증과정을 추가하여 엑세스 토큰의 탈취를 방지하여 사용자의 계정정보와 개인정보를 보호하는 프레임워크를 제시한다.

Hospitals store and manage personal and health information through the electronic medical record (EMR). However, vulnerabilities and threats are increasing with the provision of various services for information sharing in hospitals. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a model to prevent personal information leakage due to the transmission of patient information in EMR. A method for granting permission to securely receive and transmit patient information from hospitals where patient medical records are stored is proposed using OAuth authorization tokens. A protocol was proposed to enable secure information delivery by applying and delivering the record access restrictions desired by the patient to the OAuth Token. OAuth Delegation Token can be delivered by writing the authority, scope, and time of destruction to view patient information.This prevents the illegal collection of patient information and prevents the leakage of personal information that may occur during the delivery process.

본 논문에서는 오픈 뱅킹 플랫폼의 안전한 권한 부여를 위한 OAuth 인증 과정의 권한코드 획득 단계와 액세스토큰 사용 단계에서의 보안 취약점을 분석하여 위협 모델을 정의하고 위협에 대응하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 하는 방법은 크게 3단계로 구분한다. 1단계로 핀테크 앱을 등록 한 후, 2단계로 사용자가 권한을 핀테크 앱에 제공하기 위하여 사용자와 핀테크 앱의 신원을 안전하게 확인하고, 액세스토큰을 준비하는 단계, 3단계로 액세스토큰 탈취에 의한 재사용 공격에 대한 안전한 액세스토큰의 사용으로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 연구와의 비교를 통하여 OAuth 인증 플로우의 보안 위협에 대해 기존 권한승인 획득 단계와 액세스토큰 사용 단계를 포괄하는 넓은 위협에 대응을 할 수 있다.

Many web services which use OAuth Protocol offer users to log in using their personal profile information given by resource servers. This method reduces the inconvenience of the users to register for new membership. However, at the time a user finishes using OAuth client web service, even if he logs out of the client web service, the resource server remained in the login state may cause the problem of leaking personal information. In this paper, we propose a solution to mitigate the threat by providing an additional security behavior check: when a user requests to log out of the Web Client service, he or she can make decision whether or not to log out of the resource server via confirmation notification regarding the state of the resource server. By utilizing the proposed method, users who log in through the OAuth Protocol in the public PC environment like department stores, libraries, printing companies, etc. can prevent the leakage of personal information issues that may arise from forgetting to check the other OAuth related services. To verify our study, we implement a Client Web Service that uses OAuth 2.0 protocol and integrate it with our security behavior check. The result shows that with this additional function, users will have a better security when dealing with resource authorization in OAuth 2.0 implementation.

Currently there are wide variety of web services and applications available for users. Such services restrict access to only authorized users, and therefore its users often need to go through the inconvenience of getting an authentication from each service every time. To resolve of such inconvenience, a third party application with OAuth(Open Authorization) protocol that can provide restricted access to different web services has appeared. OAuth protocol provides applicable and flexible services to its users, but is exposed to reply attack, phishing attack, impersonation attack. Therefore we propose method that after authentication Access Token can be issued by using the E-mail authentication. In proposed method, regular user authentication success rate is high when value is 5 minutes. However, in the case of the attacker, the probability which can be gotten certificated is not more than the user contrast 0.3% within 5 minutes.

Since existing server-based authentications use vulnerable password-based authentication, illegal leak of personal data occurs frequently. Since this can cause illegal ID compromise, alternative authentications have been studied. Recently token-based authentications like OAuth 2.0 or JWT have been used in web sites, however, they have a weakness that if a hacker steals JWT token in the middle, they can obtain plain authentication data from the token, So we suggest a new authentication method using the verification token of authentic code to encrypt authentication data with effective time. The verification is to compare an authentication code from decryption of the verification-token with its own code. Its crypto-method is based on do XOR with ECDH session key, which is so fast and efficient without overhead of key agreement. Our method is outstanding in preventing the personal data leakage.

Recently, as the use of smart devices is becoming more common, various and convenient services are being developed. Among these services, the Social Network Service(SNS) is easily accessible anywhere, anytime. In particular, as well as sharing information, it forms a social relationship in cyberspace to expand new connections, and the SNS account is used as an authentication means of other services to provide users with speed and convenience at all times. However, despite the many advantages of SNS, due to security vulnerabilities occurring in the interworking process with various services, accidents of personal information are constantly occurring, and it is urgent to prepare countermeasures against potential risk factors. It is a necessary situation. Therefore, in this paper, the use of SNS is expected to increase rapidly in the future, and it is expected that it will be used as the basic data for developing the countermeasures by learning the countermeasures according to the security threats of the SNS.
