D-OCSP-KIS proposed by Koga and Sakurai not only reduces the number or OCSP Responder's certificate but also criers the certificate status validation about OCSP Responder to the client. Therefore, D-OCSP-KIS is an effective method that can reduce the communication cost, computational time and storage consumption in client, but it has some problems. In case an attacker accidentally acquires an OCSP Responder's session private key in a time period (e.g., one day), she can disguise as the OCSP Responder in the time period unless the OCSP Responder recognizes. She can offer the wrong response to the client using the hash value intercepted. And the server and user on I-commerce can have a serious confusion and damage. And the computation and releasing of hash chain can be a load to CA. Thus, we propose a method detecting immediately the exposure of an OCSP Responder's session private key and the abuse of hash value in D-OCSP-KIS.

Kerberos authenticates clients using symmetric-key cryptography, and supposed to Oust other systems of the realm in distributed network environment. But, authentication and authorization are essential elements for the security. In this paper, we design an efficient and secure authentication/authorization mechanism by introducing the public/private-key and installing the proxy privilege server to Kerberos. In the proposed mechanism, to make a system more secure, the value of the session key is changed everytime using MAC(message authentication code) algorithm with the long-term key for user-authentication and a random number exchanged through the public key. Also, we reduce the number of keys by simplifying authentication steps. Proxy privilege server certifies privilege request of client and issues a privilege attribute certificate. Application server executes privilege request of client which is included a privilege attribute certificate. Also, a privilege attribute certificate is used in delegation. We design an efficient and secure authentication/authorization algorithm with Kerberos.

A home network system is made up of home devices and wire and wireless network can not only be the subject of cyber attack from a variety factors of threatening, but also have security weakness in cases of hacking, vicious code, worm virus, DoS attack, tapping of communication network, and more. As a result, a variety of problems such as abuse of private life, and exposure and stealing of personal information arose. Therefore, the necessity for a security protocol to protect user asset and personal information within a home network is gradually increasing. Thus, this dissertation designs and suggests a home network security protocol using user authentication and approach-control technology to prevent the threat by unauthorized users towards personal information and user asset in advance by providing the gradual authority to corresponding devices based on authorized information, after authorizing the users with a Public Key Certificate.

Many Internet application provide the PKI(public key infrastructure)-based service to provide authentication and message integrity. Several researchers proposed PKI-based p2p network framework. However, in the real world, the use of PKI is not suitable for peer to peer network, because the peer-to-peer network is an open and dynamic network. Moreover, currently there is no nation-to-nation interoperable certificate. In this paper, we designed reliable p2p file sharing application without public key infrastructure. To do this we propose reliable public key distribution mechanism to distribute public key safely without PKI infrastructure for two-tier super-peer architecture. In our system, each peer generates and distributes its public/private key pairs, and the public key is securely distributed without PKI. The proposed mechanism is safe against MITM attack. This mechanism can be applied various P2P applications such as file sharing, IPTV, distributed resource sharing and so on

Due to the development of ICT technology, the IoT environment for connecting objects in the vicinity to networks and utilizing information about objects in various fields is getting attention, and security threats are also increasing. In order to solve the increasing security problem in IoT environment, we are studying methods that use certificate, encryption, hash calculation and block chain in the private sector. However, the security authentication method which overcomes the performance gap between devices and has compatibility with various devices It has not been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose an authentication method that can achieve wide compatibility by minimizing the influence of IoT device environment.

The RR protocole, proposed in IETF mip6 WG and standardized by RFC 3775 at lune 2004, send a message 'Binding Update' that express MN's location information to CN safety and update location information. Standard RR protocole has some problems with initiating the protocol by the MN; it causes to increases in communication load in the home network, to increases communication delay between MN and CN. Also, is connoting vulnerability to against attacker who are on the path between CN and HA in security aspect. This paper proposes doing to delegate MN's location information update rights by HA new location information update method. That is, When update MN's location information to HA, Using MN's private key signed location information certificate use and this certificate using method that HA uses MN's location information at update to CN be. It decreases the route optimization overhead by reducing the number of messages as well as the using location information update time. Also, remove security weakness about against attacker who are on the path between CN and HA.

There's a controversy about an invasion of privacy which includes a leakage of private information and linking of user's behavior on internet. Although many solutions for this problem are proposed, we think anonymous authentication, authorization, and payment mechanism is the best solution for this problem. In this paper, we propose an effective anonymity-based method that achieves not only authentication but also authorization. Our proposed method uses anonymous qualification certificate and group signature method as an underlying primitive, and combines anonymous authentication and qualification information. An eligible user is legitimately issued a group member key pair through key issuing process and issued some qualification certificates anonymously, and then, he can take the safe and convenience web service which supplies anonymous authentication and authorization. The qualification certificate can be expanded according to application environment and it can be used as payment token.

Today, there is an increasing number of cases in which certificate information is leak, and accordingly, electronic finance frauds are prevailing. As certificate and private key a file-based medium, are easily accessible and duplicated, they are vulnerable to information leaking crimes by cyber-attack using malignant codes such as pharming, phishing and smishing. Therefore, the use of security token and storage toke' has been encouraged as they are much safer medium, but the actual users are only minimal due to the reasons such as the risk of loss, high costs and so on. This thesis, in an effort to solve above-mentioned problems and to complement the shortcomings, proposes a system in which digital signature for Internet banking can be made with a simply bio-authentication process. In conclusion, it was found that the newly proposed system showed a better capability in handling financial transitions in terms of safety and convenience.

Most of existing privacy-preserving multi-authorities attribute-based encryption schemes (PP-MA-ABE) only considers the privacy of the user identity (ID). However, in many occasions information leakage is caused by the disclosing of his/her some sensitive attributes. In this paper, we propose a collusion-resisting ciphertext-policy PP-MA-ABE (CRPP-MACP-ABE) scheme with hiding both user's ID and attributes in the cloud storage system. We present a method to depict anonymous users and introduce a managerial role denoted by IDM for the management of user's anonymous identity certificate ($AID_{Cred}$). The scheme uses $AID_{Cred}$ to realize privacy-preserving of the user, namely, by verifying which attribute authorities (AAs) obtain the blinded public attribute keys, pseudonyms involved in the $AID_{Cred}$ and then distributes corresponding private keys for the user. We use different pseudonyms of the user to resist the collusion attack launched by viciousAAs. In addition, we utilize IDM to cooperate with multiple authorities in producing consistent private key for the user to avoid the collusion attack launched by vicious users. The proposed CRPP-MACP-ABE scheme is proved secure. Some computation and communication costs in our scheme are finished in preparation phase (i.e. user registration). Compared with the existing schemes, our scheme is more efficient.

The development of public-key-based technique that enables a variety of services(E-government, e-banking, e-payment, etc.) evaluated as having complete safety. On the other hand, vulnerabilities(e.g, heartbleed bug, etc.) are constantly being discovered. In this paper, a public key infrastructure to verify the safety and reliability, the collision rate using OpenSSL key pair was analyzed. the experiment was performed using the following procedure. Openssl was used to create five private certification agencies, and each of the private certificate authority certificates to create 2 million, generating a total of 10 million by the certificate of the key pair conflicts analysis. The results revealed 35,000 in 1 million, 0.35% chance of a public key, a private key conflict occurred. This is sufficient in various fields(E-payment, Security Server, etc.). A future public-key-based technique to remove the threat of a random number generator, large minority issues, in-depth study of selection will be needed.
