A digital certificate mandated by the Electronic Signature Act has become familiar in our daily lives as 95% of the economically active population hold certificates. Due to upgrades to 256 bit level security that have become effective recently, the security and reliability of digital certificates are expected to increase. Digital certificates based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) have been known as "no big problem," but the possibility of password exposure in cases of leaked digital certificates still exists. To minimize this vulnerability, various existing studies have introduced alternative password methods, expansion of certificate storage media, and multiple certification methods. These methods perform enhanced functions but also have limitations including the fact that the secureness of passwords is not guaranteed. This study suggests an alternative method for enhancing the level of password secureness as a way to improve password security. This new method improves security management and enhances the convenience of using digital technologies. The results may be used for developing digital certificate related security technologies and research in the future.

A biometric hardware security module is a physical device that comes in the form of smartcard or some other USB type security token is composed with biometric sensor and microcontroller unit (MCU). These modules are designed to process key generation and electronic signature generation inside of the device (so that the security token can safely save and store confidential information, like the electronic signature generation key and the biometric sensing information). However, the existing model is not consistent that can be caused by the disclosure of an ID and password, which is used by the existing personal authentication technique based on the security token, and provide a high level of security and personal authentication techniques that can prevent any intentional misuse of a digital certificate. So, this paper presents a model that can provide high level of security by utilizing the biometric security token and Public Key Infrastructure efficiently, presenting a model for privacy preserving personal authentication that links the biometric security token and the digital certificate.

국내 공공기관에서는 사이버 행정환경의 기밀성, 무결성, 신원확인, 부인방지등을 보장하기 위하여 행정전자서명인증체계(GPKI:Government Public Key Infrastructure)의 구축과 함께 모든 문서를 XML형태로 표준화하여 공공기관간의 문서를 통합하기 위한 시도를 하고 있다. 하지만 행정전자서명인증체계에서 사용하는 공개키기반(PKI)을 연동한 인증체계는 단순한 사용자 인증만을 제공하여, 공공기관의 응용업무 환경에서 요구되는 다양한 사용자의 직위, 직무, 역할정보 등의 관리가 어려우며 XML형태의 공공문서에 대한 상세한 접근제어를 지원하지 못하는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 한계점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 공공기관에서 사용하는 인증 및 접근제어 시스템의 가상시나리오를 통하여 보안문제점을 도출하고 분석한 후에 이를 근거로 공공기관의 보안 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 보안기술인 PMI(Privilege Management Infrastructure)와 XACML(eXtensible Access Control Markup Language)을 연동한 접근제어모델을 제안하였다..

IETF has proposed Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 (FMIPv6) for efficient mobility management, FMIPv6 has no solutions to protect binding updates. Previous researches have mainly concentrated on using AAA, public cerificates or cryptographic algorithms to secure binding updates. However the approaches need a particular infrastructure or a heavy processing cost to setup secure associations for handovers. Proposed scheem provides authentication for FMIPv6 without infrasturcture and costly cryptographic algorithms by extending Return Routability Protocol. Also proposed scheme is oble to be used for various existing handover mechanisms in IPv6 network.

The area of business applications in the internet are extended enormously in result of fast development of computing and communication technologies, increase of internet use, and use of intranet/extranet in enterprise information system. Widely spread the use of the internet, there are various applications for Business to Business (B to B) or Business to Customer(B to C) model that are based on the intranet or extranet. This paper designed and implemented the Web-based Electronic Bidding System for Business to Business (B to B) model. The technical issues of electronic bidding system in the internet are involved in the connection between web client and server, electronic data interchange for the contract document, and security solution during the bidding and contracting processes. The web-based electronic bidding system in this paper is implemented using Java applet and servlet as a connection interface for web client and sewer, XML/EDI-based documents for a bid and a contract, and bidding server and notary server for enhancing the security using PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)-based public key cryptography, digital signature and Certification Authority (CA).

In this paper, we design an authorization policy module which provides the safty and reliable authorization of the user to provide the resolution for authorization in distributed environments. PKI have been utilized much by an information security-based structure for Internet electronic commerce, it is developing X.509-based in various application field such as a network security. Especially, it provides good resolution for the authentication of the user in the situation not to meet each other, but it is not enough to provide the resolution of the authorization in distributed computing environments. In this paper, We provide AAS model, which can be used distributed resources by distributed users, and design AAS model which is an authorization policy module in the Linux-based Apache Web server.

The Integration of agent technology and security technology is needed to many application areas like electronic commerce. This paper suggests a model of extended multi-agent engine which supports privacy, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation on agent communication. Each agent which is developed with the agent engine is composed of agent engine layer and agent application layer. We describe and use the concepts self-to-self messages, secure communication channel, and distinction of KQML messages in agent application layer and messages in agent engine layer. The suggested agent engine provides an agent communication language which is extended to enable secure communication between agents without any modifications or restrictions to content layer and message layer of KQML. Also, in the model of our multi-agent engine, secure communication is expressed and processed transparently on the agent communication language.

In this paper, we have proposed a design for security network system passing through the non-security network which is commonly used for various networking services. Based on the security requirements which are assumed that the large classified data are bi-transmitted between a server and several terminals remotely located, some application methods of security techniques are suggested such as the network separation technique, the scale-down application technique of certification management system based on the PKI(Public Key Infrastructure), the double encryption application using the crypto-equipment and the asymmetric keys encryption algorithm, unrecoverable data deleting technique and system access control using USB device. It is expected that the application of this design technique for the security network causes to increase the efficiency of the existing network facilities and reduce the cost for developing and maintaining of new and traditional network security systems.

Nowadays, all over the world's banks use internet banking through various authentication methods. Although there are strong authentication methods using OTP (One Time Password), there still has vulnerability from sophisticated attacks such as MITM (Man In The Middle). This letter proposes signing-based authentication protocol that copes with attacks, such as MITB (Man In The Browser), and provides non-repudiation function. The protocol shows generic method to prevent the sophisticated attacks through connecting advantages from OTP and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) certificate, and that can be deployed to various extended form in internet banking.

PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) issues a certificate for providing Integrity of public key. and it Inspects the validity by downloading CRL(Certificate Revocation List) for checking the validity of certificate. But. it imposes a burden on processing of certificate due to Increase of user and the size of CRL, Lately, OCSP(Online Certificate Status Protocol), which examines the validity on online, is published as an alternative plan. But, it makes a problem due to concentration of just one certificate repository, Accordingly we propose the scheme that OCSP server is arranged in distributed area and then the information is safely transmitted to OCSP server.
