Mobile environments are evolving the main communication environment as a develops of communication technology. In mobile environments, sensitive information can be compromised on-line, so demand for security has increased. Also, mobile devices that provide various services are in danger from malware and illegal devices, phishing and sniffing etc, and the privacy. Therefore, MTM(Mobile Trusted Module) is developed and promoted by TCG(Trusted Computing Group), which is an industry standard body to enhance the security level in the mobile computing environment. MTM protects user privacy and platform integrity, because it is embedded in the platform, and it is physically secure. However, a security approach is required when secret data is migrated elsewhere, because MTM provides strong security functions. In this paper, we analyze the TCG standard and migration method for cryptographic key, then we propose a secure migration scheme for cryptographic key using key Backup/Recovery method.

As telecommunication technologies in telemedicine services are developed, the expeditious development of wireless and mobile networks has stimulated wide applications of mobile electronic healthcare systems. However, security is an essential system requirement since many patients have privacy concerns when it comes to releasing their personal information over the open wireless channels. Due to the invisible feature of mobile signals, hackers have easier access to hospital networks than wired network systems. This may result in several security incidents unless security protocols are well prepared. In this paper, we analyzed authentication and authorization procedures for healthcare system architecture to apply secure M-health systems in the hospital environment. From the analyses, we estimate optimal requirements as a countermeasure to its vulnerabilities.

With the rapid growth of the communication technology, intelligent terminals (i.e. PDAs and smartphones) are widely used in many mobile applications. To provide secure communication in mobile environment, in recent years, many user authentication schemes have been proposed. However, most of these authentication schemes suffer from various attacks and cannot provide provable security. In this paper, we propose a novel remote user mutual authentication scheme for multi-server environments using elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Unlike other ECC-based schemes, the proposed scheme uses ECC in combination with a secure hash function to protect the secure communication among the users, the servers and the registration center (RC). Through this method, the proposed scheme requires less ECC-based operations than the related schemes, and makes it possible to significantly reduce the computational cost. Security and performance analyses demonstrate that the proposed scheme can solve various types of security problems and can meet the requirements of computational complexity for low-power mobile devices.

In this paper, we present the implementation of a secure OTP(One Time Password) generator for IoT(Internet of Things) devices. Basically, MTM(Mobile Trusted Module) is used and expanded considering secure IoT services. We combine the MTM architecture with a new hardware-based OTP generation engine. The new architecture is more secure, offering not only the security of devices but also that of the OTP service. We have implemented and verified the MTM-based OTP generator on a real mobile platform embedded with the MTM chip. The proposed method can be used as a solution for enhancing security of IoT devices and services.

IPv6 is newly introduced to solve limitations and problems of IPv4 and in IPv6 network, nodes use Neighbor Discovery protocol to discover the subnet prefix and configure its own address. However, Neighbor Discovery is vulnerable to various attacks as it does not have secure mechanism to protect itself. Thus, the Secure Neighbor Discovery has introduced and the main mechanism used in Secure Neighbor Discovery is Cryptographically Generated Address. In this paper, we provide a brief of Cryptographically Generated Address and its limitation in a case where a mobile node moves from one network to another frequently. The proposed scheme resolves this limitation by using the fixed interface identifier.

In this technical report, we have examined the basic building blocks of mobile ad-hoc networks. The paper discusses various security requirements of ad-hoc networks, attacks in ad-hoc networks, Security Implementation and Routing Protocols. The primary purpose of the paper is to address the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol in detail, along with the various possible attacks. Finally, algorithms for securing OLSR are proposed, via the addition of digital signatures, as well as more advanced techniques such as cross checking of advertised routing control data with the node's geographical position. The main aim of this research work is the addition of security features to the existing OLSR protocol. In order to effectively design a secure routing protocol, we present a detailed literature survey of existing protocols, along with the various attacks. Based on the information gathered from the literature survey, a secure routing protocol for OLSR is proposed. The proposed secure routing protocol involves the addition of a digital signature as well as more advanced techniques such as the reuse of previous topology information to validate the actual link state. Thus, the main objective of this work is to provide secure routing and secure data transmission.

Security support is a significant factor in ad hoc networks. Especially in dynamic topologies, key agreement with private key updating is essential in providing a secure system. And it is also necessary to protect the identities of individual nodes in wireless environments to avoid personal privacy problems. However, many of the existing key agreement schemes for ad hoc networks do not consider these issues concurrently. This paper proposes an anonymous ID-based private key update scheme and a key agreement scheme for mobile ad hoc networks. We also suggest a method of rekeying between different domains using service-coordinators. These schemes are secure against various attacks and are suitable for service-oriented mobile ad hoc networks.

In recent years, security accidents which are becoming the socially hot issue not only cause financial damages but also raise outflow of private information. Most of the accidents have been immediately caused by the software weakness. Moreover, it is difficult for software today to assure reliability because they exchange data across the internet. In order to solve the software weakness, developing the secure software is the most effective way than to strengthen the security system for external environments. Therefore, suggests that the coding guide has emerged as a major security issue to eliminate vulnerabilities in the coding stage for the prevention of security accidents. Developers or administrators effectively in order to use secure coding coding secure full set of security weaknesses organized structurally and must be managed. And the constant need to update new information, but the existing Secure Coding and Security weakness is organized structurally do not. In this paper, we will define and introduce the structured weakness for mobile applications by the surveys of existing secure coding and coding rules for code analysis tools in Java.

In order to securely transmit multicast data packets in a mobile environment where frequent join/leave events are a characteristic of the environment, there is a need for a new secure and efficient group key management solution. We propose a secure group key generation/distribution solution providing scalability and reliability. Using this solution, when a mobile node, which is in a multicast session, enters a new domain, the agent of the domain joins the multicast session and coordinates its data packets with the mobile node. The agent encrypts and transmits subsequent data packets to the mobile node, using a local one-time pad key. This key is generated with FI sequences, enabling the mobile node to regenerate the same data packet, based on the information sent by the agent. Our performance analysis demonstrates that the proposed solution can significantly reduce the number of key generations and distributions, when it is applied to the hierarchical mobile IPv6 network.
