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.

EAP provides authentication for each entity based on IEEE Std 802.1x Wireless lAN and RADIUS/DIAMETER protocol, and it uses certificate, dual scheme(e.g., password and token) with the authentication method. The password-based authentication scheme for authenticated key exchange is the most widely-used user authentication method due to various advantages, such as human-memorable simplicity, convenience, mobility, A specific hardware device is also unnecessary, This paper discusses user authentication via public networks and proposes the Split Password-based Authenticated Key Exchange (SPAKE), which is ideal for both authenticating users and exchanging session keys when using a subsequent secure communication over untrusted network, And then we provides EAP authentication framework EAP-SPAKE by using it.

We design authentication protocols for wireless internet not using certificates but using passwords. The target protocols include WTLS and the certificate request protocol in the wireless PKI(Public Key Infrastructure). When a password based protocol is designed and implemented for authentication and key exchange, care mutt be taken of the short length and of the not-so-randomness of passwords. To frustrate the offline guessing attack that makes use of those weaknesses, our two protocols are dependent on the password based authentication protocol that has security proof. In this paper, how to design systematically the security protocols for authentication and key exchange using passwords is presented, and the methodology hopes to be useful in some other area that needs authentication using passwords.

In this paper, we design an authentication model based mobile PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). The authentication mood consists of Root-CA Home-network agent and Foreign-network agent. CA will going to gave the delegation ticket to Home-Agent or Foreign-Agent when they request. The authentication mode information security is various characteristic more then high speed, mobile network and low cost more then previous structure of assure information security.

In this paper, we described about the home device authentication framework, certificate issuing process and home device authentication method. since the home device authentication scheme of the public key infrastructure would be more needed as the number of home device can participate in the home network increased, we described about the home device authentication system of the public key infrastructure. Moreover, we described about the construction method of CA adminstration interface for convenient CA administration.

What is an ideal authentication method for smartphone banking services? And what are the critical elements to be considered when designing it? To provide valuable insight for these questions, this study investigates various authentication requirements to be considered in smartphone banking service with the aspect of security, convenience and cost. By applying Analytic Network Process (ANP), this study first analyzes priorities among the requirements and then draws an ideal authentication method for smartphone banking service. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted by varying the relative importance of several requirements. The results from the judgment of 72 experts revealed that, although Korean government has obliged the use of Public Key certificate, OPT and biometric alternatives may prove to be more appropriate for the smartphone banking service. These results will contribute to the provision of more secured and convenient smartphone banking services.

Recently, Selim et al proposed public key cryptography based privacy preserving multi-context RFID authentication protocol. However Selim et al's proposed protocol not only doesn't fit into passive tag based RFID system because it uses public key based encryption algorithm to perform authentication between reader and tag, but also is insecure to an impersonation attack because it doesn't provide mutual authentication. In order to eliminate the above described efficiency problem and security vulnerabilities, this paper proposes a new multi-context RFID mutual authentication protocol that can prevent privacy invasion and tag impersonation attack through providing mutual authentication between single passive tag which is located different application space and readers which provide multi-context purposes and can secure against relay attack and denial-of-service attack. As a result, the proposed protocol performs secure mutual authentication based on the collected space and time information from the RFID reader and provides strong security and high computation efficiency because if performs secure one-way hash function and symmetric encryption operations suitable to the environments of passive RFID tags.

WLAN user authentication is mostly based on user password resulting in vulnerability to the notorious 'offline dictionary attack'. As a way around this problem. EAP-TTLS and PEAP protocols are increasing finding their way into WLANs, which are a sort of combination of password protocols and the TLS public-key protocol. This leads to the use of the public-key certificate of the WLAM authentication server, and naturally the concern arises about its revocation status. It seems, however, that any proper soulution has not been provided to address this concern. We propose a very efficent and proper solution to check the certificate revocation status.

In this paper, 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. 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 propose two authentication exchange schemes which combine public key-based mutual authentication with a Diffie-Hellman key derivation exchange. The security of key exchange of the proposed schemes depends on the discrete logarithm problem. The ,securtly of the etity authentication depends on that of the signature mechanism to be used in the proposed scheme. In comparisun with the Kerberos, X.509 exchanges, and ISO 3-way authentication protocol, the proposed schemes are not only simple and efficient. but also are resistant to the full range of replay and interceptiun attacks.
