OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) server which checks the certificate status provides the real time status verification in the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) system which is the essential system of certificate. However, OCSP server need the message authentication with the server and client, so it has some shortcomings that has slow response time for the demands of many clients concurrently and has complexity of the mathematical process in the public encryption system. In this research, simulation model of the certificate status vertification server is constructed of the DEVS (Discrete EVent system Specification) formalism. This sever model is constructed to practice the authentication with hash function when certificate is checked. Simulation results shows the results of increase of the certificate status verification speed and decrease of the response time to the client.

There is an authentication method for participants with an encrypted ID and password as a symmetric-key in multilateral video conferencing. It is hard to manage when the security-keys makes many while the transportation processing for the encryption and decryption get complicated when the video conferencing involves a number of participants and the third party as an attackers to gain unauthorized symmetric-key to access video conference which makes a problem less secrecy. This study suggests three ways to enhance security in video conference: first, we present PKI-based X.509 certificate for authenticating the participants of multilateral conferencing and we suggest to encode and decode the video conference media data using a secrecy key created by each of the conference participants; second, a more secured multilateral video conferencing can be expected in a group communication by using the participants secrecy key in creating and distributing group keys, where the group key will be renewed whenever there is change in the group member; and finally, we suggest to encode the RTP payload of the media data before transmission.

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.

본 논문에서는 ad-hoc wireless network에서 상호간의 사전지식 없이 상대편을 authenticate하는 프로토콜을 제시한다. 기존에 Dirk Balfanz et al에 의해 제시된 변형된interactive Guy Fawkes protocol은 해쉬함수의, 전달하고자 하는 메시지와 그 authenticator의 해쉬값을 보내고, 다음 단계에서 그 원본을 밝히는 원리를 이용한 것으로, PKI 없이 해쉬함수 만으로 상호인증과 메시지의 무결성을 보장함으로써 전반적인 ID 체계와 public key encryption, decryption 연산에 대한 부담을 덜었다. 하지만, 이것은 여전히 eavesdropping같은 passive attack에 노출되어 있다[1]. 본 논문에서는 zero-knowledge 기반의 프로토콜을 이용하여 상호 정보를 교환할 수 없는 환경에서도 안전하게 상호 authentication을 가능하게 하는 방법을 제시한다.

Recently, Hao et al. proposed a privacy preservation protocol based on group signature scheme for secure vehicular communications to overcome a well-recognized problems of secure VANETs based on PKI. However, although efficient group signature schemes have been proposed in cryptographic literatures, group signature itself is still a rather much time consuming operation. In this paper, we propose a more efficient privacy preservation protocol than that of Hao et al. In order to design a more efficient anonymous authentication protocol, we consider a key-insulated signature scheme as our cryptographic building block. We demonstrate experimental results to confirm that the proposed protocol is more efficient than the previous scheme.

In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication protocol based on certificateless signature scheme, which does not need anyinfrastructure to deal with certification of public keys, among the vehicles in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks. Moreover, due to the characteristicsof VANET nodes (i.e., vehicles) that is fast and movement, the proposed protocol introduces the concept of interval signing key to overcome efficiently the problem of certificate revocation in traditional Public Key Infrastructure(PKI).

With the rapid progress of research to offer a convenience of mobile communication, the mobile users can use not only the services of voice call but also the variety services of data communication using Internet. These include Internet Searching, Internet Shopping and Internet banking and Internet stock exchange and electronic payment and so on, based on PKI. Also, the need of data communication between the mobile users has been increased. As it is possible for mobile users to do user authentication, key distribution, encryption, decryption and so on, it is needed the certificate status validation between the mobile users. However due to the PCS(Personal Communication System) had been only designed and implemented for voice call between the mobile users, it is not easy to apply data communication between the mobile users on PKI. Therefore the study of for the data communication between the mobile users in PCS is a few. It is for the data transfer between the mobile users to communicate using call processing of PCS. So, we propose how to process the certificate status validation during call processing for data communication between the mobile users in the PCS.

As the authentication and the integrity methods based on the hash chain are popular, several certificate status validation methods based on the same function are proposd at the moment. In NOVOMODO, a CA generates and releases the hash value to each user. In Jianying Zhou's framework and Jong-Phil Yang's framework, a user generates and releases the hash value to verifier. Therefore, the CA loads are distributed to each user. However, these frameworks are based on the assumption that the CA's secret key is not lost or compromised and the certificates issued by the CA are error-free. Therefore, these frameworks are not suitable in real PKI environments. In this paper, as one hash value generated by CA is included in the user's certificate in addition, the certificate revocation published by CA using that value can be managed. The hash value included in user's certificate is the same for all users. The computation costs, the storage amounts and the release costs are small in the CA. And we modify the procedure for the signature and its validation in Jong-Phil Yang's framework. Our solution is more suitable than those frameworks in real PKI environments.

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.

Financial fraud has been increasing along with credit card usage. Magnetic stripe cards have vulnerabilities in that credit card information is exposed in plaintext and cardholder verification is untrustworthy. So they have been replaced by a smart card scheme to provide enhanced security. Furthermore, the FinTech that combines the IT with Financial product is being prevalent. For that reason, many mobile device based payment schemes have been proposed for card present transaction. In this paper, we propose a virtual credit card number payment scheme based on public key system for efficient authentication in card present transaction. Our proposed scheme is able to authenticate efficiently in card present transaction by pre-registering virtual credit card number based on cardholder's public key without PKI. And we compare and analyze our proposed scheme with EMV.
