The concept of u-Vehicle is a technological model that people try to build the ubiquitous world in the car which moves, by using the RFID technology as well as the telematics service based on the location. RFID is weak on the point of information security because RFID has possibility for being abused such as chasing, counterfeiting, and invading personal privacy. RFID's tags use a weak cryptographic algorithm. This paper presents the vulnerabilities of information security under u-Vehicle environments. To solve that, we propose a mechanism enhancing RFID tag's security but with low cost by reducing the number of mutual authentication stages and using the hash function.

RFID, a non-contact wireless identification technology is being noticed as a technology to alternate barcode system in distribution industry and general industry. Despite of merit of RFID, there are issues to be solved for practical use. One of them, which are most important, is resolution of user's information protection. RFID system without security function bears risk exposing personal data and user's privacy. In this paper, we propose mutual authentication protocol for RFID system in order to solve this security issue. This study aimed to protect user's privacy by providing dynamic ID for tag through authentication protocol safe from security threats. Information being transmitted between backend, reader and tag has no direct connection with ID of tag, and it conducts authentication process using one-way hash function, which prevents attacker's obtaining of tag information using information being transmitted.

GSM platform is a hugely successful wireless technology and an unprecedented story of global achievement. In less than ten years since the first GSM network was commercially launched, it became the world's leading and fastest growing mobile standard, using over 1 billion GSM subscribers across more than 200 countries of the world. GSM platform evolved into 3th generation mobile communication which includes not only voice call services but also the international roaming and various kinds of the multimedia services. GSM is an essential element techniques a safe data transmission and a personal private protection while support services. However, a crypto algorithm and a secure protocol for a safe data communication using GSM are indicating various kinds of problems. In this paper, we propose a more safer and more efficient authentication protocol in 3th generation network through analysis of GSM security mechanism of 2th/2.5th generation. This security protocol offers enforced security efficiency by using user verification between SIM/ME and reduction of authentication and key agreement step between SIM/ME/AuC.

Recently, smart devices for various services have been developed using converged telecommunications, and the markets for near field communication (NFC) mobile services is expected to grow rapidly. In particular, the realization of mobile NFC payment services is expected to go commercial, and it is widely attracting attention both on a domestic and global level. However, this realization would increase privacy infringement, as personal information is extensively used in the NFC technology. One example of such privacy infringement would be the case of the Google wallet service. In this paper, we propose an mutual authentication scheme based on NTRU for secure channel in OTA and an zero-knowledge proof scheme NTRU based on for protecting user information in NFC mobile payment systems without directly using private financial information of the user.

Blockchain is a technology that enables trust-based consensus and verification based on a decentralized network. Distributed ID (DID) is based on a decentralized structure, and users have the right to manage their own ID. Recently, interest in self-sovereign identity authentication is increasing. In this paper, as a method for transparent and safe sovereignty management of data, among data pseudonymization techniques for blockchain use, various methods for data encryption processing are examined. The public key technique (homomorphic encryption) has high flexibility and security because different algorithms are applied to the entire sentence for encryption and decryption. As a result, the computational efficiency decreases. The hash function method (MD5) can maintain flexibility and is higher than the security-related two-way encryption method, but there is a threat of collision. Zero-knowledge proof is based on public key encryption based on a mutual proof method, and complex formulas are applied to processes such as personal identification, key distribution, and digital signature. It requires consensus and verification process, so the operation efficiency is lowered to the level of O (log_eN) ~ O(N²). In this paper, data encryption processing for blockchain DID, based on zero-knowledge proof, was proposed and a one-way encryption method considering data use range and frequency of use was proposed. Based on the content presented in the thesis, it is possible to process corrected zero-knowledge proof and to process data efficiently.
