There is an intuitive connection between signcryption and key agreement. Such a connector may lead to a novel way to construct authenticated and efficient group key agreement protocols. In this paper, we present a primary approach for constructing an authenticated group key agreement protocol from signcryption. This approach introduces desired properties to group key agreement. What this means is that the signcryption gives assurance to a sender that the key is available only to the recipient, and assurance to the recipient that the key indeed comes from the sender. Following the generic construction, we instantiate a distributed two-round group key agreement protocol based on signcryption scheme given by Dent [8]. We also show that this concrete protocol is secure in the outsider unforgeability notion and the outsider confidentiality notion assuming hardness of the Gap Diffie-Hellman problem.

현재의 전자투표 시스템은 투표자로 하여금 일방적인 신뢰를 강요하고 있으며, 투표자의 의도대로 기록되었음을 입증하지도 않는다. 전자투표가 종이투표 방식보다 많은 장점을 제공할 것이라고 기대하고 있음에도 불구하고 이러한 신뢰성 결여는 전자투표 실시를 막는 주요 요인이 되고 있다. 많은 전문가들은 투표자에게 투표기가 정확하게 동작하고 있음을 확신시키기 위해 영수증을 발급하는 방안을 긍정적으로 고려하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이미 잘 알려진 cut-and-choose 방식을 응용한 영수증 발급 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 특수한 영수증 출력 장치나 제삼자에 의한 투표기 검증 등이 필요없으며, 기존 방식보다 높은 안전성을 제공한다.

현재 국내 국책사업으로 추진 중인 와이브로(WiBro) 기술 규격이 포함되어 있는 휴대인터넷 표준 규격인 IEEE 802.16e는 IP기반으로, 이동성이 뛰어나고 고속전송 기능의 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 기지국간의 핸드오버(Handover)를 지원함으로써 이동성을 지원한다. 그러나 이러한 핸드오버 기법에 있어서 Replay 공격, Man-in-the-Middle 공격, Stolen-Verifier 공격 등에 취약한 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 본 논문은 이러한 기존 핸드오버 기법의 취약점을 개선하기 위해서 사용자의 인증서와 Timestamp값을 통한 IEEE 802.16e/와이브로 망에서 안전한 핸드오버 적용 방안에 대해 제안한다.

본 논문은 그름 멤버들간의 안전한 통신을 위한 그룹키 관리(Group key management)에 대한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 선형 셀룰러 오토마타를 이용해서 생성된 involution 특성을 갖는 기본 암호 프리미티브를 이용하여 비밀 공유키를 생성한다. 제안된 방식은 공모에 대한 위협을 근본적으로 방지할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) enable wireless communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure to provide a safer and more efficient driving environment. However, due to VANETs wireless nature, vehicles are exposed to several security attacks when they join the network. In order to protect VANETs against misbehaviours, one of the vital security requirements is to revoke the misbehaved vehicles from the network. Some existing revocation protocols have been proposed to enhance security in VANETs. However, most of the protocols do not efficiently address revocation issues associated with group signature-based schemes. In this paper, we address the problem by constructing a revocation protocol particularly for group signatures in VANETs. We show that this protocol can be securely and efficiently solve the issue of revocation in group signature schemes. The theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate our work is secure against adversaries and achieves performance efficiency and scalability.

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks have received a great deal of attention in both academia and industry to provide anytime-anywhere networking services. As wireless networks are rapidly deployed, the security of wireless environment will be mandatory. In this paper, we describe a group key management architecture and key agreement protocols for secure communication in mobile ad-hoc wireless networks (MANETs) overseen by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We use implicitly certified public keys method, which alleviates the certificate overhead and improves computational efficiency. The architecture uses a two-layered key management approach where the group of nodes is divided into: 1) Cell groups consisting of ground nodes and 2) control groups consisting of cell group managers. The chief benefit of this approach is that the effects of a membership change are restricted to the single cell group.

In this paper, the author proposes an efficient group key agreement scheme in a mobile environment where group members frequently join and leave. This protocol consists of basic protocols and general ones and is expected to be suitable for communications between a mobile device with limited computing capability and a key distributing center (or base station) with sufficient computing capability. Compared with other schemes, the performance of the proposed protocol is a bit more efficient in the aspects of the overall cost for both communication and computation where the computational efficiency of the scheme is achieved by using exclusive or operations and a one-way hash function. Also, in the aspect of security, it guarantees both forward and backward secrecy based on the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) assumption so that secure group communication can be made possible. Furthermore, the author proves its security against a passive adversary in the random oracle model.

Sensor networks have a wide spectrum of military and civil applications, particularly with respect to security and secure keys for encryption and authentication. This thesis presents a new centralized approach which focuses on the group key distribution with revocation capability for Wireless Sensor Networks. We propose a new personal key share distribution. When utilized, this approach proves to be secure against k-number of illegitimate colluding nodes. In contrast to related approaches, our scheme can overcome the security shortcomings while keeping the small overhead requirements per node. It will be shown that our scheme is unconditionally secure and achieves both forward secrecy and backward secrecy. The analysis is demonstrated in terms of communication and storage overheads.

Multicast has communication mechanism that is able to transfer voice, video for only the specific user group. As compared to unicast, multicast is more susceptive to attack such as masquerading, malicious replay, denial of service, repudiation and traffic observation, because of the multicast has much more communication links than unicast communication. Multicast-specific security threats can affect not only a group's receivers, but a potentially large proportion of the internet. In this paper, we proposed the multicast security model that is able to secure multi-group communication in CBT(Core Based Tree), which is multicast routing. And designed the multicast key distribution protocol that can offer authentication, user privacy using core (be does as Authentication Server) in the proposed model.

In this paper, we design an effective and secure optical subscriber loop to offer multimedia service to apartment residents. The designed subscriber loop has the following properties. First, a proxy is connected to HDT(Host Digital Termination) which is a switching device, in order to effectively support multimedia services. Second, a scheduler of HDT dynamically manages bandwidth allocation and reallocation to a subscriber considering the situation of communication traffic. Finally, three alternations are used for safety.
