User authentication has been one of the most important part of the network system. OTP(One-Time Password) has been developed and applied to the existing authentication system. OTP makes a different password and abrogates used password each time when user is authenticated by the server. Those systems prevent stolen-key-problems which is caused by using the same key every log-in trial. Yet, OTP still has vulnerabilities. In this paper, an advanced protocol which is using clock-count method to apply a stream cipher algorithm to OTP protocols and to solve problems of existing OTP protocols is proposed.

The IEEE 802.1x can be using various user authentication mechanisms: One-Time Password, Certificate-Based TLS, Challenge/Response and Keberos through EAP(Extended Authentication Protocol). But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS, the session hijacking and the Man in the Middle attack due to the absence of AP authentication. In this paper, we propose a WLAN secure system which can offer a safety secure communication and a user authentications by intensified the vulnerability of spoofing and DoS attacks. The suppose system offers a safe secure communication because it offers sending message of integrity service and also it prevents DoS attack at authentication initial phase.

In this paper, we propose the terminal authentication system using blockchain and TOTP(Time-based One-time Password Algorithm) to sustain a continuous authentication between user device and service device. And we experiment this system by using door-lock as a terminal of IoT(Internet of Things). In the future, we can apply this result to several devices of IoT for convenience and security. Although IoT devices frequently used everyday require convenience and security at the same time, it is difficult for IoT devices having features of the low-capacity and light-weight to apply the existing authentication technology requiring a high amount of computation. Blockchain technology having security and integrity have been used as a storage platform, but its authentication cannot be performed when the terminal cannot access any network. We show the method to solve this problem using Blockchain and TOPT.

Nowadays, authentication is essential to identify the legal users in a network communication. Usually, there are few wars to achieve authentication over a publicly accessible network system in order to protect certain private data from the unauthorized users, ranging from simple ID/Password to Biometrics System. One of the most active areas in OTP(One Time Password) research today aims at exploiting OTP to provide authentication in the finance and security industry. OTP is usually discarded once it has been used. this prevents huge loophole of traditional authentication system which employs the same ID and Password every time. However this OTP system also has its weaknesses in surviving some attacks. this paper proposes an advanced OTP protocol using PingPong-128 without loop hole of pre-existing OTP.

Almost all network systems provide an authentication mechanism based on user ID and password. In such system, it is easy to obtain the user password using a sniffer program with illegal eavesdropping. The one-time password and challenge-response method are useful authentication schemes that protect the user passwords against eavesdropping. In client/server environments, the one-time password scheme using time is especially useful because it solves the synchronization problem. In this paper, we present a new identification scheme: OPI(One Pass Identification). The security of OPI is based on the square root problem, and OPI is secure: against the well known attacks including pre-play attack, off-line dictionary attack and server comprise. A number of pass of OPI is one, and OPI processes the password and does not need the key. We think that OPI is excellent for the consuming time to verify the prover.

In this paper, we propose new technique which uses the fingerprint features in order to generate one time passwords(OTPs). Fingerprint is considered to be one of the powerful personal authentication factors and it can be used for generating variable passwords for one time use. Also we performed a simulation of homomorphic graph variable of fingerprint feature point using dendrogram and distribution of fingerprint feature points for proposed password generation method.

Login process uses both ID and password information to authenticate someone and to permit its access privilege on system. However, an attacker can get those ID and password information by using existing packet sniffing or key logger programs. It cause privacy problem as those information can be used as a hacking and network attack on web server and web e-mail system. Therefore, a more secure and advanced authentication mechanism should be required to enhance the authentication process on existing system. In this paper, we propose a multi-factor authentication process by using software form of secure card system combined with existing ID/Password based login system. Proposed mechanism uses a random number generated from the his/her own handset with biometric information. Therefore, we can provide a one-time password function on web login system to authenticate the user using multi-factor form. Proposed scheme provide enhanced authentication function and security because it is a 'multi-factor authentication mechanism' combined with handset and biometric information on web login system.

Ajax interaction model changes the posture of web application to become a stateful over HTTP. Ajax applications are long-lived inthe browser. XMLHTTPRequest (XHR) is used to facilitate the data exchange. Using HTTPS over this interaction is not viable because of the frequency of data exchange. Moreover, switching of protocols form HTTP to HTTPS for sensitive information is prohibited because of server-of-origin policy. The longevity, constraint, and asynchronous features of Ajax application need to hove a different authentication and session fondling mechanism that invoke re-authentication. This paper presents an authentication and session management scheme using Ajax. The scheme is design lo invoke periodic and event based re-authentication in the background using digest authentication with auto-generated password similar to OTP (One Time Password). The authentication and session management are wrapped into a framework called AWASec (Ajax Web Application Security) for coupling to avoid broken authentication and session management.

Earlier researches on Sensor Networks preferred symmetric key-based authentication schemes in consideration of limitations in network resources. However, recent advancements in cryptographic algorithms and sensor-node manufacturing techniques have opened suggestion to public key-based solutions such as Merkle tree-based schemes. These previous schemes, however, must perform the authentication process one-by-one in hierarchical manner and thus are not fit to be used as primary authentication methods in sensor networks which require mass of multiple authentications at any given time. This paper proposes a new concept of public key-based authentication that can be effectively applied to sensor networks. This scheme is based on exponential distributed data concept, a derivative from Shamir's (t, n) threshold scheme, in which the authentication of neighbouring nodes are done simultaneously while minimising resources of sensor nodes and providing network scalability. The performance advantages of this scheme on memory usage, communication overload and scalability compared to Merkle tree-based authentication are clearly demonstrated using performance analysis.

This paper presents a new one-time password approach generated based on $4{\times}4$ pattern schedule. It demonstrates generation of passkey from initial seed of random codes and mapping out in table pattern schedule which will produce a new form of OTP scheme in protecting information or data. The OTP-2FA has been recognized by many organizations as a landmark to authentication techniques. OTP is the solution to the shortcomings of the traditional user name/password authentication. With the application of OTP, some have benefited already while others have had second thoughts because of some considerations like cryptographic issue. This paper presents a new method of algorithmic approach based on table schedule (grid authentication). The generation of OTP will be based on the random parameters that will be mapped out in rows and columns allowing the user to form the XY values to get the appropriate values. The algorithm will capture the values and extract the predefined characters that produce the OTP codes. This scheme can work in any information verification system to enhance the security, trust and confidence of the user.
