The spread of mobile devices, PDAs and sensors has enabled the construction of ubiquitous computing environments, transforming regular physical spaces into 'Smart space' augmented with intelligence and enhanced with services. However, the deployment of this computing paradigm in real-life is disturbed by poor security, particularly, the lack of proper authentication and authorization techniques. Also, it is very important not only to find security measures but also to preserve user privacy in ubiquitous computing environments. In this Paper, we propose efficient user authentication and authorization model with anonymity for the privacy-preserving for ubiquitous computing environments. Our model is suitable for distributed environments with the computational constrained devices by using MAC-based anonymous certificate and security association token instead of using Public key encryption technique. And our Proposed Protocol is better than Kerberos system in sense of cryptographic computation processing.

It is difficult to identify attack requests from normal ones when those attacks are based on CSRF which enables an attacker transmit fabricated requests of a trusted user to the website. For the protection against the CSRF, there have been a lot of research efforts including secret token, custom header, proxy, policy model, CAPTCHA, and user reauthentication. There remains, however, incapacitating means and CAPTCHA and user reauthentication incur user inconvenience. In this paper, we propose a method to detect CSRF attacks by analyzing the structure of websites and the usage patterns. Potential victim candidates are selected and website usage patterns according to the structure and usage logs are analyzed. CSRF attacks can be detected by identifying normal usage patterns. Also, the proposed method does not damage users' convenience not like CAPTCHA by requiring user intervention only in case of detecting abnormal requests.

In the internet communication technology, authentication of the user is main task. So far, very popular researches have been proposed for user authentications based on user_id and password. These existing methods have some merits as well as demerits also. In this paper, we analyzed the existing authentication method problems and implement a secure PingPong-128 based key generator for internet technology. In our new scheme, we are using one time password and security card numbers to generate the secure tokens for the user and internet service provider.

The development of cloud services and IoT technology has radically changed the cloud environment, and has evolved into a new concept called fog computing and F2C (fog-to-cloud). However, as heterogeneous cloud/fog layers are integrated, problems of access control and security management for end users and edge devices may occur. In this paper, an F2C-based IoT smart health monitoring system architecture was designed to operate a medical information service that can quickly respond to medical emergencies. In addition, a role-based service access control technology was proposed to enhance the security of user's personal health information and sensor information during service interoperability. Through simulation, it was shown that role-based access control is achieved by sharing role registration and user role token issuance information through blockchain. End users can receive services from the device with the fastest response time, and by performing service access control according to roles, direct access to data can be minimized and security for personal information can be enhanced.

Grid services offer SSO(single sign-on) mechanism using GSI(grid security infrastructure) based on X.509. However. portal applications in web environment use ID and password model for single sign-on. Grid portals means a system which provides grid services by integrating portlet contents on single web interface. In existing research such as GAMA and PURSE, SSO for a whole grid portal is figured out in the way that user is authenticated by ID and password in front and call grid service via GSI at back-end. Other types of web applications outside of portlet framework cannot unfortunately access grid service in SSO way in the existing researches, because the SSO mechanism is developed for portlet framework only. In this paper, we suggest a SSO mechanism based on ID and password model, which forwards authentication information and a GSI token for grid access among portlets and grid-enabled web applications. This mechanism is applied to MGrid for SSO, which consists of applications of java web start, applet, servlet, and etc. as also as portlets.

In this paper, we propose a process for deriving priority tasks using the legal design technique in a situation where there is high uncertainty in the market and legal system regarding the commercialization of security tokens based on blockchain and distributed ledger technology. To issue and distribute securities tokens, we conducted a legal design workshop with participants who applied for innovative financial services (financial regulatory sandbox). During the workshop, participants harmonized their interests and deliberated on readiness, considering both legal and technical factors. The aim was to ascertain the feasibility of identifying prioritized objectives for future endeavors. The legal design technique facilitates consensus-building among stakeholders in an uncertain environment by confirming and adjusting differing perspectives and disagreements based on mutual understanding. The key stages include the empathetic process called "Family Therapy," the "N whys" for problem definition, and the speculative scenario design for problem-solving. This approach distinguishes itself from user-centered design thinking. Given the diverse stakeholders involved, effective facilitation by the facilitator is crucial during the legal design workshop preparation and execution.

Many web services which use OAuth Protocol offer users to log in using their personal profile information given by resource servers. This method reduces the inconvenience of the users to register for new membership. However, at the time a user finishes using OAuth client web service, even if he logs out of the client web service, the resource server remained in the login state may cause the problem of leaking personal information. In this paper, we propose a solution to mitigate the threat by providing an additional security behavior check: when a user requests to log out of the Web Client service, he or she can make decision whether or not to log out of the resource server via confirmation notification regarding the state of the resource server. By utilizing the proposed method, users who log in through the OAuth Protocol in the public PC environment like department stores, libraries, printing companies, etc. can prevent the leakage of personal information issues that may arise from forgetting to check the other OAuth related services. To verify our study, we implement a Client Web Service that uses OAuth 2.0 protocol and integrate it with our security behavior check. The result shows that with this additional function, users will have a better security when dealing with resource authorization in OAuth 2.0 implementation.

As the applications within Mobile devices becoming more extensive, the mobile communication security issues of these applications and researches are appearing to be the most important concern. In this paper, we propose new integration OTP framework technique which uses the fingerprint and voice features of biometrics in order to generate Mobile One Time Passwords (OTPs) Token. The fingerprint and voice are considered to be one of the powerful personal authentication factors of biometrics and it can be used for generating variable passwords based on mobile environments for one time use. However, we performed a simulation of homomorphic variability of fingerprint and voice feature points using dendrogram and distribution of fingerprint and voice feature points for proposed password generation method, and verified validation of availability.

RFID is method used on wireless system. However, this mechanism is not used for authentication and security. Therefore, it is very vulnerable to attacks such as dropping attacks and traffic attacks. the RFID Tags are of the limited nature due to environment factors and there is greater constraints in designing authentication protocol. If we do not RFID to secure corporate information and product all the information will be exposed. The attacker will break into the RFID system and stop the distribution system. So, this paper proposes a new authentication protocol which provides not only unlimited access to Tag&Reader and connection between Tag and Reader bet also provides authentication mechanism by defining the key distribution.

Since the facilities for the remote users tend to be deployed in distributed manner, authentication schemes for multi-server communication settings, which provide various web services, are required for real-world applications. A typical way to authenticate a remote user relies on password authentication mostly. However, this method is vulnerable to attacks and inconvenient as the system requires users to maintain different identities and corresponding passwords. On the other hand, the user can make use of a single password for all servers, but she may be exposed to variants of malicious attacks. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure authentication scheme based on a brokered authentication along with smart-cards in multi-server environment. Further we show that our scheme is secure against possible attacks and analyze its performance with respect to communication and computational cost.
