Ubiquitous Computing is gradually accepting in our real society. Already some Advanced State has studying of Ubiquitous for more convenience Ubiquitous environment. Anywhere, Anytime user can be provided information and service that he want, but it has some problem such as Rogue AP, IP spoofing, DoS attack, Warm which can causing social confusion in Ubiquitous society. In this paper we must analysis that security requirement in the Ubiquitous network environment and investigate 'Ad hoc' and RFID which is main technique for network infra construction.

본 논문에서는 Security 보안 게이트웨이를 이용하여 VPN 기반 보안 터널링을 생성하여 기존의 단말의 안전한 데이터 전송을 보장하고 Rogue AP에 의한 사용자의 정보 누출가능성을 최소화 할 수 있는 보안 게이트웨이를 구현하였다 무선랜 방식은 기존의 유선랜에 비해 사용하기 편리하다는 장점이 있지만 수신 장비만 있으면 누구나 데이터를 수신할 수 있는것처럼 보안에 취약한 단점이 있다. 기존의 무선랜 보안 모델은 802.1X 와 RADIUS 서버를 이용하여 장비 업체별 상이한 솔루션으로 호환이 불가능하고 Rogue AP에 의한 위협이 있다. 본 논문에서 구현한 보안 게이트웨이는 2계층과 3계층에 보안 모델을 도입하여 데이터 전송을 안전하게 할 수 있다.

The increase of smartphone users have made mobile carriers offload increasingly congested traffic of 3/4G by providing Wi-Fi hot-spots in the public places such as coffee shops and subway stations. In the traditional authentication in WLAN, the users should convince the service providers that they are valid customers before they use WLAN services. Since the authentication protocol is designed for service providers. Even with the mutual authentication based on the IEEE 802.1X, which is supported by IEEE 802.11 standard, it is difficult to be convinced of that the service providers really have installed the WLAN APs, which users are confronted with. An attacker can install rogue APs that masquerade as legitimate APs by copying the SSID, MAC address, etc. in order to obtain users' private information. In this paper, we introduce a method of authenticating legitimate APs for smartphone users. And we show our proposal can be well utilized for the current Wi-Fi hot-spots as a security plug-in and prove it through our experiments.

Wireless networks have become integral to society as they provide mobility and scalability advantages. However, their disadvantage is that they cannot control the media, which makes them vulnerable to various types of attacks. One example of such attacks is the evil twin access point (AP) attack, in which an authorized AP is impersonated by mimicking its service set identifier (SSID) and media access control (MAC) address. Evil twin APs are a major source of deception in wireless networks, facilitating message forgery and eavesdropping. Hence, it is necessary to detect them rapidly. To this end, numerous methods using clock skew have been proposed for evil twin AP detection. However, clock skew is difficult to calculate precisely because wireless networks are vulnerable to noise. This paper proposes an evil twin AP detection method that uses a multiple-feature-based machine learning classification algorithm. The features used in the proposed method are clock skew, channel, received signal strength, and duration. The results of experiments conducted indicate that the proposed method has an evil twin AP detection accuracy of 100% using the random forest algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to improve the accuracy of the Wi-Fi access point (AP) positioning technique. The proposed algorithm based on evaluating the trustworthiness of the signal strength quality of each measurement node is superior to other existing AP positioning algorithms, such as the centroid, weighted centroid, multilateration, and radio distance ratio methods, owing to advantages such as reduction of distance errors during positioning, reduction of complexity, and ease of implementation. To validate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we conducted experiments in a complex indoor environment with multiple walls and obstacles, multiple office rooms, corridors, and lobby, and measured the corresponding AP signal strength value at several specific points based on their coordinates. Using the proposed algorithm, we can obtain more accurate positioning results of the APs for use in research or industrial applications, such as finding rogue APs, creating radio maps, or estimating the radio frequency propagation properties in an area.

In this paper, we proposed a system in a wireless LAN environment in case of security threats, the mobile terminal and the remote server-based WLAN security. The security of the wireless LAN environment in the recent technology in a variety of ways have been proposed and many products are being launched such as WIPS and DLP. However, these products are expensive and difficult to manage so very difficult to use in small businesses. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a security system, wireless LAN-based terminal and a remote server using whitelist according to development BYOD market and smartphone hardware. The proposed system that AP and personal device information to be stored on the server by an administrator and Application installed on a personal device alone, it has the advantage that can be Applicationlied to a variety of wireless network environment.

최근 무선 네트워크의 발달로 카페나 대학교, 지하철 등 대부분 공간에서 무선 공유기를 통해 WIFI 서비스가 제공되고 있다. 무선 공유기는 IEEE의 표준 프로토콜인 802.11을 사용하는데, 이 프로토콜의 상용화된 버전인 802.11n의 관리 프레임은 암호화되어 있지 않아 쉽게 악용될 수 있다. 이는 Rogue AP, 비밀번호 크래킹 등 다른 공격으로의 발판이 될 수 있으며 이에 따라 보안에 위협이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 파이썬을 이용해 이러한 취약점에 대해 공격하는 과정을 분석하고 이를 통해 발생할 수 있는 취약점과 대책에 대해 논의할 것이다.

Wireless network is convenient as compared to the wire, and it is also easy. Therefore, SMEs in the country is the trend that many SMEs prefer the radio using a lot of radio as an extension of the wired network modification felt the burden of fixed installations. Wireless networks are vulnerable to security together than a wired network, since it passes the packet through the broadcasting. Therefore, analyzing the vulnerability of wireless networks, and proposes countermeasures about wireless network security in small and medium-sized businesses.
