Advances in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have enabled small and low-cost sensors with the capability of sensing various types of physical and environmental conditions, data processing, and wireless communication. In the WSN, the sensor nodes have a limited transmission range and their processing and storage capabilities as well as their energy resources are limited. A triple umpiring system has already been proved for its better performance in WSNs. The clustering technique is effective in prolonging the lifetime of the WSN. In this study, we have modified the ad-hoc on demand distance vector routing by incorporating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based dynamic clustering. The proposed scheme, which is an efficient and secure routing protocol for wireless sensor networks through SNR-based dynamic clustering (ESRPSDC) mechanisms, can partition the nodes into clusters and select the cluster head (CH) among the nodes based on the energy, and non CH nodes join with a specific CH based on the SNR values. Error recovery has been implemented during the inter-cluster routing in order to avoid end-to-end error recovery. Security has been achieved by isolating the malicious nodes using sink-based routing pattern analysis. Extensive investigation studies using a global mobile simulator have shown that this hybrid ESRP significantly improves the energy efficiency and packet reception rate as compared with the SNR unaware routing algorithms such as the low energy aware adaptive clustering hierarchy and power efficient gathering in sensor information systems.

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have become a viable platform owing to their potential of providing communication without any pre-existing infrastructure and central administrating authority. Mutual support and co-operation among nodes are prerequisites for performing functions in such networks. The scarcity of resources makes it economical for nodes to conserve their resources and misbehave by avoiding participation in the network. Therefore, a mechanism is required to detect and handle such misbehaving nodes and promote co-operation in the network. Existing techniques for handling misbehaving nodes focus only on their current behaviour without considering the antecedent behaviour of nodes. In real world, a node may dynamically change its behaviour in accordance to its requirements. Hence, an efficient mechanism is required for providing security against such misbehaviour. This paper proposes an Adaptive Security Model which contemplates the present as well as anterior behaviour of nodes for providing security against dynamic node behaviour. The adaptivity of the model is nested in its ability to requite well-behaving nodes and penalize misbehaving ones in conformity with their overall behaviour. Simulation results indicate the efficiency of proposed scheme in securing the network from the menace of dynamic behaviour of nodes.

최근 빠르게 확산되고 있는 소셜 네트워크 서비스(Social Network Service)는 사용자의 인맥을 관리하며 새로운 인맥을 형성하는 것을 목표로 한다. 또한 사용자들이 자신의 관심사에 관한 지식이나 정보를 공개함으로써 정보의 효율성을 높이고 다른 사용자들에게 정보를 전파한다. 하지만 현재의 소셜 네트워크 서비스는 새로운 인맥을 형성하는 것보다 실제 사회에서의 인맥을 가상의 공간에서도 유지하고 관리하여 실제로 만나지 않더라도 관계를 유지할 수 있도록 하는 용도로 사용되어 소셜 네트워크의 목표를 달성하지 못하고 있다. 하지만 특정한 공간의 동일한 관심사를 가진 사람들 간의 제한적 정보 공유는 소셜 네트워의 단점을 보안하고 궁극적 목표를 달성할 수 있다. 또한 특정 관심사를 기반으로 그룹을 생성함으로써 정보의 신뢰도를 높이며 새로운 인맥을 형성에도 효과적 일 것이다. 하지만 이러한 네트워크는 모바일 환경의 특징으로 인해 빠르게 변화할 수 있으며 위치를 기반으로 특정 공간의 다른 사용자들과 통신함으로 완전히 새로운 인맥을 형성하게 된다. 그러므로 안전하게 신뢰관계를 구축하기위해 사용자의 평판 관리가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 소셜 네트워크에서 동일한 관심사를 가진 폐쇄적 정보공유에서의 악의적 노드의 고립을 위한 평판 메커니즘을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a session key distribution scheme on non-interactive key distribution algorithm of Identity-based cryptography in V2I of VANET. In the current VANET, IEEE 802.11i is used to provide secure data communication between the vehicle and infrastructure. However, since the 4-way handshake procedure reply when the vehicle handover to another RSU/AP, IEEE 802.11i increases the communication overhead and latency. The proposed scheme using non-interactive key distribution algorithm of Identity-based cryptography provided session key generation and exchange without message exchange and reduced communication overhead and latency than the IEEE 802.11i.

To solve the energy problem and finding new growth engines, interest for the smart grid is increasing and related technologies are making great efforts to secure in the world. AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) Among them is the first to be constructed and getting attention as a key component of smart grid. A fusion of various technologies in technology development and demonstration is underway on Jeju Island Smart Grid Demonstration Complex in Korea, and focusing on broadband power line communication technology infrastructure is actively underway in Korea Electric Power Corporation. AMI system using power line communication technology without building a separate communication lines are available for power supply lines, but communication is impossible in occurs because admission to the power company or the ideal infrastructure for communication is not considered. In this paper, we analyze the requirements to build AMI system using Binary CDMA and powerline communications technology, and design the basic communication protocol based on Binary CDMA, implement network management and relay feature. By doing so, ways to apply Ad-hoc Binary CDMA indigenous technology to the AMI system were derived, and could build a system to make use of Wired (PLC) and wireless (Binary CDMA) simultaneously.

This paper proposed a session key exchange and authentication scheme on non-interactive key distribution algorithm using a community member's ID in ubiquitous networks. In ubiquitous network environment, User's context-awareness information is collected and used to provide a context-awareness service for someone who need it. However, in ubiquitous network environment, this kind of the Context-awareness information could be abused by a malicious nodes. The proposed scheme using the community member ID provides a session key exchange and mutual authentication between community members, and supports secure data communication. Also, when exchanging the session key and authenticating each other, this scheme reduces communication overhead and authentication delay compared to the AAA server scheme.

In MANET consisting of only mobile nodes, all nodes serve as routes. However, the dynamic topology due to frequent movement of nodes degrades routing performance and is also cause of many security vulnerabilities. Therefore, security must be applied to routing techniques that can influence the performance of MANET. In this paper, we propose a technique for efficiently responding to various routing attacks and safe data transmission through application of zone-key based security routing techniques. A zone-based network structure was used, and a management node that manages member nodes in each zone was used in the proposed technique. In addition, the damage from the attacking node was minimized by issuing a key to each node and applying this to a routing technique. The zone management node issues a key for encryption routing information and manages the issuance information. A member node that wants to transmit data encrypts routing in formation using a key issued from the zone management node, and then performs path discovery using this. The improved performance of the proposed technique was confirmed through a comparative experiment with the CBSR and ARNA technique, excellent performance was confirmed through experiments.

VANET(Vehicle Ad-hoc Network) 환경은 도로위의 차량을 노드로 하여 구성하는 애드혹 네트워크로써 최근 들어 그 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 분야이다. 일반적인 애드혹 환경과 마찬가지로 VANET 환경에서도 보안적인 문제가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. VANET 환경에서 가장 중요하게 요구되는 보안요소는 차량의 익명성을 통한 위치 프라이버시와 협력 운전(cooperative driving) 단계에서 사용되는 메시지에 대한 인증, 무결성, 부인방지 등이다. 본 논문에서는 익명 아이디(pseudonym), 그룹화 등을 통해 차량의 위치 프라이버시를 제공하고 또한 이를 이용해 VANET 환경에서 사용할 수 있는 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안하고자 한다. RA(Registration Authority)에서 발급되는 익명 아이디의 집합과 차량의 전송 범위를 고려해서 구성되는 그룹화는 그룹에 속한 차량에 대해 익명성을 제공하고, 또한 그룹리더에 의해 생성되는 그룹키를 통해 효율적인 협력 운전 메시지 전달을 할 수 있게 된다. 그리고 각각의 그룹리더를 라우터로 이용해 전달되는 라우팅 프로토콜은 노드가 매우 유동적으로 움직이는 VANET 환경에서 효과적으로 메시지를 전달할 수 있도록 해줄 것이다.

Due to the rapid evolution of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), effective communication and security are now essential components in providing secure and reliable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. However, due to their dynamic nature and potential threats, VANETs need to have strong security mechanisms. This paper presents a novel approach to improve VANET security by combining the Vehicular Delay-Tolerant Network (VDTN) protocol with the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) technique known as the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm. A store-carry-forward method is used by the VDTN protocol to resolve the problems caused by inconsistent connectivity and disturbances in VANETs. The TD3 algorithm is employed for capturing and detecting Worm Hole Attack (WHA) behaviors in VANETs, thereby enhancing security measures. By combining these components, it is possible to create trustworthy and effective communication channels as well as successfully detect and stop rushing attacks inside the VANET. Extensive evaluations and simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, enhancing both security and communication efficiency.
