The authentication system of the PKI(public key infrastructure) provides the authenticity and security, accessibility, economic feasibility, and convenience to the service provider and users. Therefore the public and private companies in Korea widely use it as the authentication method of the web service. However, the safety client system is threatened by many vulnerable factors which possibly caused when using PKI-based authentication system. Thus, in this article vulnerable factors caused by using the PKI-based authentication system will be analyzed, which is expected to be the useful data afterwards for the construction of the new authentication system as well as performance improvement.

Although the PKl-based user authentication solution has been widely used, the security of it can be deteriorated by a simple password. This is because a long and random private key may be protected by a short and easy-to-remember password. To handle this problem, many biometric-based user authentication solutions have been proposed. However, protecting biometric data is another research issue because the compromise of the biometric data will be permanent. In this paper, we present an implementation to improve the security of the typical PKI-based authentication by protecting the private key with a fingerprint. Compared to the unilateral authentication provided by the typical biometric-based authentication, the proposed solution can provide the mutual authentication. In addition to the increased security, this solution can alleviate the privacy issue of the fingerprint data by conglomerating the fingerprint data with the private key and storing the conglomerated data in a user-carry device such as a smart card. With a 32-bit ARM7-based smart card and a Pentium 4 PC, the proposed fingerprint-based PKI authentication can be executed within 1.3second.

SSO (Single Sign On), which allows users to have an access to a various systems through a single authentication, has been receiving much attention from many enterprises due to the user convience through a single authentication and the recent security features based on PKI. An emerging authentication management system called EAM has further enhanced the efficiency and stability of the enterprise IT infrastructrure systems. In this article, the basic concept and characteristics of the existing SSO systems are analyzed and a new SSO model, based on PKI where authentication load is balanced via multiple circulators, is presented.

this paper, we made out blocking probability analysis for a new authentication structure for reducing the certificate acquisition time which is one of the factors that should be improved in a conventional wireless PKI. A conventional key exchange method simply performs the key exchange setup step based on discrete algebraic subjects. But the mutual-authentication procedure of wireless PKI for reducing authentication time uses an elliptical curve for a key exchange setup step. Besides, we proposed advanced handover method and blocking probability analysis for wireless PKI. Proposed handover method shows reduced handover processing time than conventional method since it can reduce CRL retrieval time. Also, we compared proposed authentication structure and conventional algorithm, and simulation results show that proposed authentication method outperforms conventional algorithm in all environment regardless of call arrival rate, queue service rate, queue size

In this paper, we introduce a novel Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based message authentication scheme that takes advantage of temporal and spatial uniqueness in physical layer channel responses for each transmission pair in vehicular communication networks. The proposed scheme aims at achieving fast authentication and minimizing the packet transmission overhead without compromising the security requirements, in which most messages can be authenticated through an extreme fast physical-layer authentication mechanism. We will demonstrate that the proposed secure authentication scheme can achieve very short message delay and reduced communication overhead through extensive analysis and simulation.

The request of Green-IT technology and recommend of computer hardware resource are increasing explosively. So, necessity of Cloud computing is increasing rapidly. Berkeley Univ. announced teens constituent that threat Cloud computing in 2009 and problem for user authentication should be solved as is urgentest among them. So, We wish to propose effective user authentication protocol in Cloud computing environment. Secure safety for user quotation through Kerberos's ticket issue that is existent representative user authentication techniques, and defined authentication procedure of two steps that flow user authentication and service authentication through PKI's. Is uncomplicated structurally more than efficiency for certification protocol and examination result about safety, existent PKI that propose and simplify achievement procedure and system configuration more than Kerberos and reduced response time.

Most banks in Korea have provided Internet banking services based on PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) certificates since the early 2000s when Internet banking began in Korea. To support PKI Internet banking, the Korean government backed the electronic signature law and supported the rapid spread of PKI-based Internet banking by regulating the application of PKI certificates to be compulsory in Internet banking until 2015. PKI Internet Banking in Korea has been developed as a pioneer in this field through many challenges and responses until its present success. Korea's PKI banking, which started with soft-token-based closed banking, has responded to various types of cyber attack attempts and promoted the transition to open banking by accepting various criticisms due to lack of compatibility with international standards. In order to improve the convenience and security of PKI Internet banking, various attempts have been made, such as biometric-integrated smartphone-based PKI authentication. In this paper, we primarily aim to share the experience and lessons of PKI banking by analyzing the evolution process of PKI Internet banking in Korea. It also has the purpose of presenting the challenges of Korea's PKI Internet banking and sharing its development vision.

Current PKI system will confront more dangerous elements in the wireless network. Accordingly, this study suggests a plan to strengthen authentication system plan with using access control and encryption to the location. Locational information collecting devices such as GPS and sensor are utilized to create a new key for authentication and collect locational information. Such a key encodes data and creates an authentication code for are access control. By using the method suggested by this study, it is possible to control access of a military secret from unauthorized place and to protect unauthorized user with unproposed technique. In addition, this technique enables access control by stage with utilizing the existing PKI system more wisely.

This paper proposes a proactive authentication scheme using credentials based on chameleon hashing in MIH environments. There is a proactive authentication structure defined by IEEE 802.21 Security Study Group for the link access in MIH environment. Both schemes based on EAP and on PKI can be applied to such structure, but the former has caused network traffic due to the complicated authentication procedure and the latter has complex structure for managing certificates. The proposed scheme performs the proactive authentication procedure only between a mobile node and a MIH Key Holder by using credentials based on chameleon hashing. Our scheme reduces the network traffic since authentication with the server is unnecessary in MIH environment and PKI structure is not required as well. In addition, the proposed scheme provides secure PFS and PBS features owing to the authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange of the chameleon-based credential.
