According to increasing of payment and settlements like smart banking, internet shopping and contactless transaction in smart device, the security issues are on the rise, such as the vulnerability of the mobile OS and certificates abuse problem, we need a secure user authentication. We apply the OTP using biometrics and PKI as user authentication way for dealing with this situation. Biometrics is less risk of loss and steal than other authentication that, in addition, the security can be enhanced more when using the biometric with OTP. In this paper, we propose a user authentication using biometrics and OTP in the mobile device.

제어시스템(발전시설, 전력시설, 교통시설 등)은 생산성, 가용성, 안전성을 목적으로 다양한 제어기기들로 구성되며, 물리적으로 다양한 위치에 분산되어 운영되고 있다. 그리고 안전성과 가용성을 유지하기 위해 시스템 도입 시 기존 시스템에 영향을 미치지 않는지 검증을 수행 후 시스템을 도입한다. 이러한 이유로 신규 기술의 도입이나, 기기의 변경이 자유롭지 않다. 이와 같은 제어시스템의 특성으로 인해 현재 증가되고 있는 제어시스템 사이버공격에 대한 보안대책 또는 기술들의 적용이 쉽지 않아 사이버공격에 취약한 상황이다. 제어시스템은 상위 시스템의 제어 명령을 통해 하위 제어기기 또는 필드기기를 제어하는 형태로 제어 명령의 무결성 유지가 특히 중요하다. 이는 곧 제어시스템에 환경에 접근한 공격자가 인가되지 않은 장비를 제어시스템에 연결하고, 악성 제어명령을 전송하게 된다면 제어기기는 이를 인지하지 못하고 정지되거나 오작동을 유발 할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 제어시스템 내 제어명령의 무결성 유지를 위해 임베디드 Add-on 단말을 통해 OTP 값을 생성, 전달, 검증하는 방안을 제안한다. 해당 방안은 상위노드와 하위노드 사이에 Add-on 장치를 두어 상위노드에서 제어명령 발생 시, 제어명령에 OTP값을 통해 캡슐화하고 하위노드로 전달한다. Add-on 장비는 일반 IT시스템과 상이한 제어시스템의 특성에 맞게 고안되었으며 제어시스템 내에 발생되는 제어명령 위변조, 제어명령 재사용 공격 등을 차단 할 수 있다.

기존의 OTP(One-Time Password) 인증 시스템은 OTP 단말을 휴대해야하는 불편함이 있으며 생성한 OTP 값을 그대로 OTP 단말에 출력하기 때문에 주변에 쉽게 노출될 수 있다. 또한, 기존의 9자리 패턴 인식 방법은 같은 패턴 지점을 연속으로 인식시킬 수 없고 패턴을 그리는 경로에 다른 패턴 지점이 포함될 수 있다는 한계가 있어 제한적인 패턴 결과를 가진다. 따라서, 본 논문은 원형 배치된 패턴 지점 기반의 OTP 대칭 값 패턴 인증 시스템을 통해 OTP 단말을 휴대할 필요가 없게 하고, OTP의 각 자리 값을 대칭 값으로 표현함으로써 OTP 값의 노출을 막는다. 또한 모든 OTP 값으로 패턴 인식이 가능하도록 하기 위해 패턴 지점을 원형 배치하는 방법을 제안한다. 이는 직접적으로 OTP 값이 노출될 가능성을 감소시키고, OTP 인증을 위한 패턴 인식에서 패턴 지점을 원형 배치함으로써 모든 OTP 값이 패턴으로 변환될 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문은 패턴 지점의 원형 배치와 대칭 값을 이용한 OTP 인증 시스템을 제안하여 새로운 OTP 인증 방법으로 패턴 인식을 적용할 수 있도록 한다.

Since finance companies started e-banking services, those services have been diversified and use of them has continued to increase. Finance companies are implementing financial security policy for safe e-banking services, but e-Banking incidents are continuing to increase and becoming more intelligent. Along with the rise of internet banks and boosting Fintech industry, financial supervisory institutes are not only promoting user convenience through improving e-banking regulations such as enforcing Non-face-to-face real name verification policy and abrogating mandatory use of public key certificate or OTP(One time Password) for e-banking transactions, but also recommending the prevention of illegal money transfer incidents through upgrading FDS(Fraud Detection System). In this study, we assessed a blacklist based auto detection method suitable for overall situations for finance company, a real-time based suspicious transaction detection method linking with blacklist statistics model by each security level, and an alternative FDS model responding to typical transaction patterns of which information were collected from previous e-Banking incidents.

Thia paper suggests a milti user-authentication system comprises that DNA biometric informatiom, owner's RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) smartcard of hardware token, and PKI digital signqture of software. This system improved items proposed in [1] as follows : this mechanism provides one RFID smartcard instead of two user-authentication smartcard(the biometric registered seal card and the DNA personal ID card), and solbers user information exposure as RFID of low proce when the card is lost. In addition, this can be perfect multi user-autentication system to enable identification even in cases such as identical twins, the DNA collected from the blood of patient who has undergone a medical procedure involving blood replacement and the DNA of the blood donor, mutation in the DNA base of cancer cells and other cells. Therefore, the proposed system is applied to terminal log-on with RFID smart card that stores accurate digital DNA biometric information instead of present biometric user-authentication system with the card is lost, which doesn't expose any personal DNA information. The security of PKI digital signature private key can be improved because secure pseudo random number generator can generate infinite one-time pseudo randon number corresponding to a user ID to keep private key of PKI digital signature securely whenever authenticated users access a system. Un addition, this user-authentication system can be used in credit card, resident card, passport, etc. acceletating the use of biometric RFID smart' card. The security of proposed system is shown by statistical anaysis.

The authentication process is a key step that should be used to verify that a user is legitimate, and it should be used to verify that a user is a legitimate user and grant access only to that user. Recently, two-factor authentication and OTP schemes are used by most applications to add a layer of security to the login process and to address the vulnerability of using only one factor for authentication, but this method also allows access to user accounts without permission. This is a known security vulnerability. In this paper, we propose a Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) personal information authentication scheme based on a Smart Contract of a block chain that authenticates users with minimal personal information exposure conditions. This has the advantage of providing many security technologies to the authentication process based on blockchain technology, and that personal information authentication can be performed more safely than the existing authentication method.

Recently, there has been an explosive increase in the volume of multimedia data that is available as a result of the development of multimedia technologies. More and more data is becoming available on a variety of web sites, and it has become increasingly cost prohibitive to have a single data server store and process multimedia files locally. Therefore, many service providers have been likely to outsource data to cloud storage to reduce costs. Such behavior raises one serious concern: how can data users be authenticated in a secure and efficient way? The most widely used password-based authentication methods suffer from numerous disadvantages in terms of security. Multi-factor authentication protocols based on a variety of communication channels, such as SMS, biometric, or hardware tokens, may improve security but inevitably reduce usability. To this end, we present a data block-based authentication scheme that is secure and guarantees usability in such a manner where users do nothing more than enter a password. In addition, the proposed scheme can be effectively used to revoke user rights. To the best of our knowledge, our scheme is the first data block-based authentication scheme for outsourced data that is proven to be secure without degradation in usability. An experiment was conducted using the Amazon EC2 cloud service, and the results show that the proposed scheme guarantees a nearly constant time for user authentication.

User authentication based on ID and PW has been widely used. As the Internet has become a growing part of people' lives, input times of ID/PW have been increased for a variety of services. People have already learned enough to perform the authentication procedure and have entered ID/PW while ones are unconscious. This is referred to as the adaptive unconscious, a set of mental processes incoming information and producing judgements and behaviors without our conscious awareness and within a second. Most people have joined up for various websites with a small number of IDs/PWs, because they relied on their memory for managing IDs/PWs. Human memory decays with the passing of time and knowledges in human memory tend to interfere with each other. For that reason, there is the potential for people to enter an invalid ID/PW. Therefore, these characteristics above mentioned regarding of user authentication with ID/PW can lead to human vulnerabilities: people use a few PWs for various websites, manage IDs/PWs depending on their memory, and enter ID/PW unconsciously. Based on the vulnerability of human factors, a variety of information leakage attacks such as phishing and pharming attacks have been increasing exponentially. In the past, information leakage attacks exploited vulnerabilities of hardware, operating system, software and so on. However, most of current attacks tend to exploit the vulnerabilities of the human factors. These attacks based on the vulnerability of the human factor are called social-engineering attacks. Recently, malicious social-engineering technique such as phishing and pharming attacks is one of the biggest security problems. Phishing is an attack of attempting to obtain valuable information such as ID/PW and pharming is an attack intended to steal personal data by redirecting a website's traffic to a fraudulent copy of a legitimate website. Screens of fraudulent copies used for both phishing and pharming attacks are almost identical to those of legitimate websites, and even the pharming can include the deceptive URL address. Therefore, without the supports of prevention and detection techniques such as vaccines and reputation system, it is difficult for users to determine intuitively whether the site is the phishing and pharming sites or legitimate site. The previous researches in terms of phishing and pharming attacks have mainly studied on technical solutions. In this paper, we focus on human behaviour when users are confronted by phishing and pharming attacks without knowing them. We conducted an attack experiment in order to find out how many IDs/PWs are leaked from pharming and phishing attack. We firstly configured the experimental settings in the same condition of phishing and pharming attacks and build a phishing site for the experiment. We then recruited 64 voluntary participants and asked them to log in our experimental site. For each participant, we conducted a questionnaire survey with regard to the experiment. Through the attack experiment and survey, we observed whether their password are leaked out when logging in the experimental phishing site, and how many different passwords are leaked among the total number of passwords of each participant. Consequently, we found out that most participants unconsciously logged in the site and the ID/PW management dependent on human memory caused the leakage of multiple passwords. The user should actively utilize repudiation systems and the service provider with online site should support prevention techniques that the user can intuitively determined whether the site is phishing.

Recently, protection of personal information is getting more important. Many countries have legislated about the protection of personal information. Now, the protection of relevant personal information is required not for a simple image of enterprises but law obligation. Most databases in enterprises used to store customers' names, addresses and credit card numbers with no exceptions. The personal information about a person is sensitive, and this asset is strategic. Therefore, most enterprises make an effort to preserve personal information safely. If someone, however, hacks password information of DBMS manager, no one can trust this system. Therefore, encryption is required based in order to protect data in the database. Because of database encryption, however, it is the problem of database performance in terms of computation time and the limited SQL query. Thus, we proposed an efficient query method to solve the problem of encrypted data in this paper.
