Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) have become increasingly significant in intelligent transportation systems, they play a great role in improving traffic safety and efficiency. In the deployment of intelligent VANETs, intelligent vehicles can efficiently exchange important or urgent traffic information and make driving decisions. Meanwhile, secure data communication and vehicle's identity privacy have been highlighted. To cope with these security issues, in this paper, we construct an efficient anonymous authentication scheme with secure communication in intelligent VANETs. Combing the ElGamal encryption technique with a modified Schnorr signature technique, the proposed scheme provides secure anonymous authentication process for encrypted message in the vehicle-to-infrastructure communication model, and achieves identity privacy, forward security, and reply attack resistance simultaneously. Moreover, except the trusted authority (TA), any outside entity cannot trace the real identity of an intelligent vehicle. The proposed scheme is designed on an identity-based system, which can remove the costs of establishing public key infrastructure (PKI) and certificates management. Compared with existing authentication schemes, the proposed scheme is much more practical in intelligent VANETs.

We generally use SSL/TLS protocol utilizing X.509 v3 certificates so as to provide a secure means in establishment an confidential communication and the support of the authentication service. SPKI/SDSI was motivated by the perception that X.509 is too complex and incomplete. This thesis focuses on designing a secure server and an implementation of the prototype which has two main modules, one is to support secure communication and RBAC, not being remained in the SPKI/SDSI server which was developed by the existing Geronimo project and the other is to wholly issue name-certificate and authorization-cerificate. And the demonstration embodied for our sewer is outlined hereafter.

To utilize actively the agent which is one of the elements of revitalization of Agro-Foods Mobile I-commerce, an essential prerequisite is agent security. IF using partial PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)-based confirmation mechanism providing security for the agent, the size of agent is becoming larger, the result of the transmission speed is slow, and the confirmation speed is tardy as well because of performing calculation of public keys such as RSA and needing linkage with the CA for the valid examination of certificates. This paper suggests a mechanism that can cross certification and data encryption of each host in the side of improving the problems of key distribution on agent by shaping key chain relationship. This mechanism can guarantee the problem of ky distribution by using agent cipher key(ACK) module and generating random number to fit mobile surroundings and to keep the secret of the agent. Suggested mechanism is a thing that takes into consideration security and efficiency to secure agent for the revitalization of M-Commerce, and is a code skill to make the agent solid and is a safe mechanism minimizing the problems of memory overflow.

Currently, online user authentication is perform using joint certificates issued by accredited certification authorities and simple certificates issued by private agency. In such a PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) system, various cryptographic technologies are used, and in particular, digital signatures are used as a core technology. The digital signature scheme is equally used in DID(Decentralized Identity), which is attracting attention to replace the existing centralized system. As such, the digital signature-based user authentication used in current online services is also applied in the metaverse, which is attracting attention as the next-generation online world. Metaverse, a compound word of "meta," which means virtual and transcendent, and "universe," means a virtual world that includes the existing online world. Due to various developments of the metaverse, it is expted that new authentication technologies including biometric authentication will be used, but existing authentication technologies are still being used. Therefore, in this study, we study digital signature scheme that can be efficiently used for user authentication in the developing metaverse. In particular, we experimentally analyze the effectiveness of ECDSA, which is currently used as a standard for digital signatures, and Schnorr signatures, which can quickly verify a large amount of signatures.

현재의 인터넷은 40여 년 전에 신뢰할 수 있는 호스트 간의 통신을 기반으로 설계되어 식별성(Identity)과 기밀성(Privacy)등의 보안성에 대한 특별한 요구사항이 없었다. 추후 인터넷이 전 세계적으로 확장함에 따라 신뢰할 수 없는 호스트가 통신에 참여하게 되었고 이에 대한 보안 요구사항이 새롭게 등장하였다. 이러한 요구사항을 만족시키기 위한 인터넷의 보안 기술은 키(Key)에 매우 의존적으로 발전하여 현재 모든 인증 관련 기술과 보안 기술들은 공개키 기반 구조(Public Key Infrastructure: PKI)와 같이 키를 기반으로 하고 있다. 이러한 연구 동향은 미래인터넷의 보안 연구에서도 여전히 반영되어 미국에서 진행 중인 eXpressive Internet Architecture(XIA)나 다른 미래 인터넷 프로젝트에서도 키 기반의 보안기술 연구를 진행하고 있다. 하지만 모든 통신을 의심하고 이를 감시하기 위한 기존의 인터넷 보안 기술과 달리 미래인터넷 보안 연구는 상호 신뢰를 기반으로 네트워크에 대한 공격 자체를 원천적으로 차단할 수 있는 신뢰통신(Trustworthy communication)을 목적으로 하고 있으며 이에 대한 새로운 연구 결과가 등장하고 있다. 본고에서는 차세대 보안연구 분야인 신뢰통신의 연구동향과 성과를 소개하고 장단점을 분석한다. 특히 미래인터넷의 신뢰통신 연구 중 대중적으로 인정받고 있는 공개키를 이용한 자가인증(Self-certifying)과 이를 뒷받침하기 위한 공개키 검증 시스템 연구 및 신뢰경로 구축 연구를 중심으로 미래인터넷의 신뢰통신 연구가 진행된 과정을 중점적으로 소개한다.

Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) Protocol is a useful tool for secure communication conducted over open networks without sharing a common secret key or assuming the existence of the public key infrastructure (PKI). It seems difficult to design efficient PAKE protocols using RSA, and thus many PAKE protocols are designed based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange (DH-PAKE). Therefore it is important to design an efficient PAKE based on RSA function since the function is suitable for designing a PAKE protocol for imbalanced communication environment. In this paper, we propose a computationally-efficient key exchange protocol based on the RSA function that is suitable for low-power devices in imbalanced environment. Our protocol is more efficient than previous RSA-PAKE protocols, required theoretical computation and experiment time in the same environment. Our protocol can provide that it is more 84% efficiency key exchange than secure and the most efficient RSA-PAKE protocol CEPEK. We can improve the performance of our protocol by computing some costly operations in offline step. We prove the security of our protocol under firmly formalized security model in the random oracle model.

In recent years, e-Commerce is very active on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web along with the popularization of Internet using high-speed networks. Especially, Electronic Software Distribution(ESD) is widely being focused as one of the popular researches. However, the existing models of ESD lack substantial illegal copy protection or copyright protection as they have the shortcomings of guaranteeing anonymity of users. This study suggests an ESD protocol that guarantees substantial copyright protection and anonymity based on the Public Key Infrastrncture(PKl). The suggested method does not give the information of a buyer who doesn't want to reveal to a seller, and protects illegal copy and distribution as well. When it happens that illegal copies are in circulation, this method provides a device to trace back its original distributor so that it helps protect the copyright. In addition, it provides more convenient environment to the user by not using the methods of serial number input and extra installation to use.

전자상거래는 비대면(非對面) 거래로 모든 제반과정이 진행되기 때문에 상대에 대한 신뢰성의 문제가 크며, 거래 당사자와 거래 내역에 대한 입증을 해줄 인증기관이 필요하게 된다. 현재 미국의 베리사인 등 사설인증업체가 국내전자상거래 업체의 인증업무를 담당하고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 인중은 필연적으로 관련 기술의 표준화가 수반되는데 이에 대한 국내기술이 미흡하므로 국제동향을 고려한 국내인증기술의 개발이 시급하다. 특히, 글로벌 전자상거래에서는 인증기관에 대한 문제가 더욱 절실한데 문제는 어떠한 형태로 어떤 기관이 주축이 되어 인중체계를 구축하는가 하는 것이다. 현재, 인증체계는 네트워크 방식, 계층구조, 혼합형의 세가지가 논의되고 있으며, 각각의 장단점이 존재하므로 이에 대한 심도있는 논의가 필요하다. 이러한 체계는 국가별로 상이할 수 있지만, 문제는 글로벌 전자상거래를 활성화하기 위해서는 보다 일관된 형태의 인증체계 구축이 필요하다는 점이다. 현재까지 이와 관련한 심도있는 논의는 미흡한 실정이며, 미국 EU 등 일부국가와 UNCITRAL, OECD, ICC 등 관련 기구에서 다양한 의견을 제시하고 있는 상태이다. 이러한 문제는 단시일 내에 해결되기는 어려울 것으로 보인다. 다만, 단기적으로는 관련국가들간의 상호인증을 통한 해결이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 상호 인증이 전세계적으로 확산되어감에 따라 글로벌 전자상거래를 위한 인증체계가 심도있게 논의될 것으로 판단된다. 이와 관련하여 상호 인증과 관련한 국내관련 법제의 보완이 필요하며, 실제로 인증을 담당할 관련 당사자들의 자구노력이 매우 시급한 시정이라 하겠다.

In real life, we frequently use th proxy signatrue by delegating one's own privileges. It is necessary to distribute the data related to privilege delegation securely in order to use such a proxy signature in the Internet. However, inorder to use the secure proxy signature, we need to have some mechanism to prevent a proxy signer from misuse of privileges by applying proxy certificate and a privilege delegation mechanism to manage information with related to privilege delegarion. In addition, we have implemented the prototype to demonstrate the possible proxy signature service using proxy certificate.

An electronic document based on PDF has been widely used in customer communication between an enterprise and a customer to deliver personalized content. However, electronic documents based on PDF in the form of paper layouts are not suitable for mobile environments because of low readability and lack of interactive interaction. Even though HTML is an essential language in a mobile environment, electronic document based on PDF is still used as it has a content integrity verification feature with a digital signature. It means that a user is sacrificing user experience in a mobile environment for content integrity and using paper-layout electronic documents. In this research, we design the Document HTML specification by setting the Document HTML conformance, adding the extended meta tags, and signing the message digest with a digital signature based on public key infrastructure (PKI). Furthermore, we implemented the Document HTML system, which has REST API services to generate and verify the Document HTML, and did experimental verification of the theory. As a result, we have confirmed that the Document HTML has both content integrity and user experience on mobile. Furthermore, the Document HTML is expected to be an alternative document format to deliver personalized content from an enterprise to a customer in a mobile environment instead of the paper layout electronic document such as PDF.
