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.

IoT devices are used in many areas to perform various roles and functions in a cloud environment. However, a method of access control that can stably control the IoT device has not been proposed yet. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical multi-level property access control scheme that can perform stable access of IoT devices used in a cluster environment. In order to facilitate the access of the IoT device, the proposed method not only provides the ID key (security token) unique to the IoT device by providing the IoT Hub, but also allows the IoT Hub to authenticate the X.509 certificate and the private key, So that the private key of the IoT device can not be seen outside the IoT device. As a result of the performance evaluation, the proposed method improved the authentication accuracy by 10.5% on average and the processing time by 14.3%. The overhead of IoT Hub according to the number of IoT attributes was 9.1% lower than the conventional method.

Recently, the number of attacks by malicious application has significantly increased, targeting Android-platform mobile terminal such as Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab 10.1. The malicious application can be distributed to currently used mobile devices through open market masquerading as an normal application. An attacker inserts malicious code into an application, which might threaten privacy by rooting attack. Once the rooting attack is successful, malicious code can collect and steal private data stored in mobile terminal, for example, SMS messages, contacts list, and public key certificate for banking. To protect the private information from the malicious attack, malicious code detection, rooting attack detection and countermeasure method are required. To meet this end, this paper investigates rooting attack mechanism for Android-platform mobile terminal. Based on that, this paper proposes countermeasure system that enables to extract and collect events related to attacks occurring from mobile terminal, which contributes to active protection from malicious attacks.

As mobile terminal environment gets matured, the use of Android platform based mobile terminals has been growing high. Recently, the number of attacks by malicious application is also increasing as Android platform is vulnerable to private information leakage in nature. Most of these malicious applications are easily distributed to general users through open market or internet and an attacker inserts malicious code into malicious app which could be harmful tool to steal private data and banking data such as SMS, contacts list, and public key certificate to a remote server. To cope with these security threats more actively, it is necessary to develop countermeasure system that enables to detect security vulnerability existing in mobile device and take an appropriate action to protect the system against malicious attacks. In this sense, this paper aggregates diverse system events from multiple mobile devices and also implements a system to detect attacks by malicious application.

In 2001, Boneh and Franklin proposed Identity-Based Encryption(IBE) that does not require a certificate like Public Key Infrastructure(PKI) by using user's Identity as a public key. However, IBE has a key escrow problem because the Private Key Generator(PKG), who is a trusted authority, generates a secret key of every user. Also, it does not support efficient revocation when the user's secret key is exposed or the system needs to revoke the user. Therefore, in order to use IBE as PKI that currently used, it is necessary to solve the key escrow problem and the revocation problem. In this paper, to solve those two problems, we suggest Accountable Authority Revocable IBE(A-RIBE) based on Accountable Authority IBE that mitigates the key escrow problem and Revocable IBE that solves the revocation problem. Also, we define the security model suitable foe A-RIBE, and analyze the principle of designing A-RIBE according to based A-IBE and RIBE and their advantage and disadvantage.

Most mobile cloud computing system use public key cryptography to provide data security and mutual authentication. A variant of traditional public key technologies called Identity-Based Cryptography(IBC) has recently received considerable attention. The certificate-free approach of IBC may well match the dynamic qualities of cloud environment. But, there is a need for a lightweight secure framework that provides security with minimum processing overhead on mobile devices. In this paper, we propose to use hierarchical ID-Based Encryption in mobile cloud computing. It is suitable for a mobile network since it can reduce the workload of root Public Key Generators by delegating the privilege of user authentication and private key generation. The Identity-Based Encryption and Identity-Based Signature are also proposed and an ID-Based Authentication scheme is presented to secure data processing. The proposed scheme is designed by one-way hash functions and XOR operations, thus has low computation costs for mobile users.

In a small sense Job creation is the making of certificate and In the big sense the government will create new industries and create jobs accordingly. therefore We used the most similar ISE as an example and linked it with the PMP of PMBOK. And I tried to standardize this process by deriving the detailed knowledge required for the foundation. As a result, eleven stages such as creation of (1) Job creation making plan (2) Offer on registration of private qualification (3) business process analysis (4) Confirmation of test criterion (5) Reception system development (6) Educational book development (7) Assist open lecture (8) TEST notice plan making (9) Implement training for certification (10) Operation of qualifying examination and Never ending training. Afterwards It will become the data for the development of the Professional making a job in the future.

Most of the Internet users in Korea are issued certificates and use them for various tasks. For this reason, it is recommended that accredited certification authorities and security related companies and use public certificates on USB memory and portable storage devices rather than on the user's desktop. Despite these efforts, the hacking of the certificate has been continuously occurring and the financial damage has been continuing. Also, for security reasons, our military has disabled USB to general military users. Therefore, this study proposes a two-factor method using the unique information of the USB memory and the PC which is owned by the user, and suggests a method of managing the private key file secure to the general user. Furthermore, it will be applied to national defense to contribute to the prevention of important data and prevention of access by unauthorized persons.

The objective of this article is to inform and document the contemporary development of the private security industry in Queensland Australia, a premier holiday destination that provide entertainment for the larger region. The purpose of this review is to examine the comtemporary development of mandated licensing regimes regulating the industry, and the necessary reform agenda. The overall aim is threefold: first, to chart the main outcomes of the two-wave of reforms since the mid-'90s; second, to examine the effectiveness of changes in modes of regulation; and third, to identify the criteria that can be considered a best practice based on Button(2012) and Prenzler and Sarre's(2014) criteria. The survey of the Queensland regulatory regime has demonstrated that, despite the federal-guided reforms, there remain key areas where further initiatives remain pending, markedly case-by-case utilisation of more proactive strategies such as on-site alcohol/drug testing, psychological evaluations, and checks on close associates; lack of binding training arrangement for technical services providers; and targeted auditing of licensed premises and the vicinity of venues by the Office of Fair Trading, a licensing authority. The study has highlighted the need for more determined responses and active engagements in these priority areas. This study of the development of the licensing regimes in Queensland Australia provides useful insights for other jurisdictions including South Korea on how to better manage licensing system, including the measures required to assure an adequate level of professional competence in the industry. It should be noted that implementing a consistency in delivery mode and assessment in training was the strategic imperative for the Australian authority to intervene in the industry as part of stimulating police-private partnerships. Of particular note, competency elements have conventionally been given a low priority in South Korea, as exemplified through the lack of government-sponsored certificate; this is an area South Korean policymakers must assume an active role in implementing accredited scheme, via consulting transnational templates, including Australian qualifications framework.

The signature-then-encryption based on RSA scheme provides forward secrecy, but requires 4 modulo exponentiation operations in total, and the signcryption scheme proposed by Zheng simultaneously fulfills both the functions of digital signature and symmetric key encryption in a logically single step, and with a computational cost significantly smaller than that required by the current standard signature-then-encryption, but it can not provide forward secrecy. In this paper, we propose an enhanced signcryption scheme which can provide forward secrecy with lower computational cost and lower communication overhead comparing with those of the signature-then-encryption based on RSA, and with a similar communication overhead of Zheng's scheme. The proposed scheme can be also easily modified to the direct signature verification scheme by the recipient without using the recipient's private key. Additionally, we suggest a new design protocol with server-supported signatures which solves the CRLs(Certificate Revocation Lists) burden and provides non-repudiation of origin. This protocol with server-supported signatures also can be applied to the original signcryption scheme proposed by Zheng in order to improve security.
