  • As the number of smartphone users increases, vulnerability to privacy protection is increasing. This is because personal information is stored on various servers connected to the Internet and the user is authenticated using the same ID and password. Authentication methods such as OTP, FIDO, and PIN codes have been introduced to solve traditional authentication methods, but their use is limited for authentication that requires sharing with other users. In this paper, we propose the authentication method that is needed for the management of shared information such as hospitals and corporations. The proposed algorithm is an algorithm that can authenticate users in the same place in real time using smart phone IMEI, QR code, BLE, push message. We propose an authentication algorithm that can perform user authentication through mutual cooperation using a smart phone and can cancel realtime authentication. And we designed and implemented a mutual authentication system using proposed algorithm.

  • If an exterior computer wants to join the Grid/cloud computing platform for a while, all of the related firewalls' filtering rule should be immediately updated. As the platform of Internet application is gradually evolving into the Grid/Cloud environment, the R&D requirement for the dynamic traversing of the multiple firewalls by a single try is also increasing. In this paper, we introduce the new mechanism for the dynamic traversing of the multiple firewalls using the concept of the one-time master key that can dynamically unlock the tiers of firewalls simultaneously instead of the existed filtering rule based method like a lock management at each firewall. The proposed master keys are like one-time password, consisted of IP addresses, port numbers, and TCP's initial sequence numbers, and generated by end users not administrators. They're exchanged mutually in advance and used to make a hole at local-side firewalls for the other's packet incoming. Therefore, the proposed mechanism can function regardless of the number or type of firewalls.

  • Recently, Li and Hwang scheme proposed a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart card. It is asserted that this scheme has very excellent benefits by the operation cost efficiency based on the smart card, one-way function and biometrics using random numbers. But this scheme cannot provide the properly authentication, especially, it is analyzed as the vulnerable security scheme for Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks by impersonate attacks. The attacker controls the insecure channel, they can easily fabricate messages to pass the user's or server's authentication, and the malicious attacker can impersonate the user to cheat the server and can impersonate the server to cheat the user without knowing any secret information. This paper proposes the strong improved scheme which can respond to multiple attacks by supplementing the function of integrity check from the server which applied variable authenticator and OSPA without exposing the user's password information. It is supplemented pregnable of disguise attack and mutual authentication of Li and Hwang scheme.

  • Digital accredited certificates issued under the Digital Signature Act provide essential functionalities for online service, so certificates are used for various services such as online banking, e-government. However, certificates can be stolen by hackers and users need to install separate software to use certificates. Recently FIDO, which aims to solve the problems of password-based authentication and the lack of interoperability between authentication methods, is used for biometric authentication and TrustZone, hardware-based secure environment, is used for safe smartphone usage. In this paper, the new service method is suggested which uses FIDO-based biometric authentication and stores certificates in TrustZone. This method can not only improve security and convenience but also be easily applied to the service because it uses built-in functionalities of new smartphones such as biometric sensors and TrustZone. It is expected that people can use certificates in a safe and convenient way with this method.

  • The network community provides people a new area which is called a cyber area, not physical area. However, today in the cyber area, the negative function has been causing social problem. In fact, it has not been causing by original function. Specifically speaking, main reason why it's leading to the negative function is that teenagers are logging into inappropriate sites (such as: violent, adult sites) to unnecessary sites (such as: e-mails with unknown signs combined with words, inappropriate language used in certain web board). Not only that, private password and ID's are being used by unknown user to accomplish illegal access. If this problem does not get solved through immediate development of technologies method, the cyber crime will increase in short period of time. The purpose of this paper is to understand each analyzed method which can cope with negative internet function, to discuss suitable management in certain web board an to check with fuzzy intercommunication mood.

  • Currently, the leakage of internal information has emerged as one of the most significant security concerns in enterprise computing environments. Especially, damage due to internal information leakage by insiders is more serious than that by outsiders because insiders have considerable knowledge of the system's identification and password (ID&P/W), the security system, and the main location of sensitive data. Therefore, many security companies are developing internal data leakage prevention techniques such as data leakage protection (DLP), digital right management (DRM), and system access control, etc. However, these techniques cannot effectively block the leakage of internal information by insiders who have a legitimate access authorization. The security system does not easily detect cases which a legitimate insider changes, deletes, and leaks data stored on the server. Therefore, we focused on the insider as the detection target to address this security weakness. In other words, we switched the detection target from objects (internal information) to subjects (insiders). We concentrated on biometrics signals change when an insider conducts abnormal behavior. When insiders attempt to leak internal information, they appear to display abnormal emotional conditions due to tension, agitation, and anxiety, etc. These conditions can be detected by the changes of biometrics signals such as pulse, temperature, and skin conductivity, etc. We carried out experiments in two ways in order to verify the effectiveness of the emotional recognition technology based on biometrics signals. We analyzed the possibility of internal information leakage detection using an emotional recognition technology based on biometrics signals through experiments.

  • This research is about the development of e-forensic tool that extract & analyze different forms of digital evidence that individuals come across in a disaster scene. The tool utilizes digital forensic techniques which makes the tool efficient in any disaster analysis situation. In order for the forensic evidence to be selected as legal evidence, the evidence needs to be proven that it is in its original state with no forgery involved. This is where the e-forensic tool comes in, as its ability to collect digital evidence during investigation has proven; that the tool can keep the evidence in its original state and increase the integrity by generating hash TAG and adding the forensic evidence to a password encoded file.

  • The increase in applying IT to vehicles has given birth to smart cars or connected cars. As smarts cars become connected with external network systems, threats to communication security are on the rise. With simulation test results supporting such threats to Convergence security in vehicular communication, concerns are raised over relevant vulnerabilities, while an increasing number of studies on secure vehicular communication are published. Hacking attacks against vehicles are more dangerous than other types of hacking attempts because such attacks may threaten drivers' lives and cause social instability. This paper designed a Convergence security protocol for inter-vehicle and intra-vehicle communication using a hash function, nonce, public keys, time stamps and passwords. The proposed protocol was tested with a formal verification tool, Casper/FDR, and found secure and safe against external attacks.

  • As the life which existed only offline has changed into a life part of which is led online, it is an important problem to identify whether an online user is legitimate one or not. Biometric authentication technology was developed to identify the user more correctly either online or in offline daily life. Biometric authentication is a technology where a person is identified by his or her unique characteristics, and is highlighted as a next-generation authentication technology replacing password. There are various kinds of traits unique to each individual, and biometric authentication technologies drawing on such traits use various devices and algorithms. Firstly, this paper classified such various biometric authentication technologies, and analyzed the effects of them when they are applied on smartphone, smartwatch and M2M of the different devices platforms. Secondly, it suggested the effectiveness-based AIB(Authentication for Integrated Biometrics) authentication technique, a comprehensive authentication technique, which can be used in different devices platforms. We have successfully included the establishment scheme of the effectiveness authentication using biometrics.

  • As cloud computing is activated, a variety of cloud services are being distributed. However, to use each different cloud service, you must perform a individual user authentication process to service. Therefore, not only the procedure is cumbersome but also due to repeated authentication process performance, it can cause password exposure or database overload that needs to have user's authentication information each cloud server. Moreover, there is high probability of security problem that being occurred by phishing attacks that result from different authentication schemes and input scheme for each service. Thus, when you want to use a variety of cloud service, we proposed OpenID based user authentication scheme that can be applied to a multi-cloud environment by the trusted user's verify ID provider.
