4차 산업혁명을 맞아 사물인터넷이 떠오르며 다양한 서비스가 생겨나고 편의성이 개선되었다. 사용빈도가 높아짐에 따라 개인정보의 유출 등과 같은 보안위협이 공존하게 되었으며 보안의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 사물인터넷의 보안위협에 대해 분석하여 Fast IDentity Online(FIDO)을 사용한 사용자인증을 통하여 보안성을 강화하는 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 연구결과 향후 FIDO를 통한 2차 인증 도입을 통하여 강력한 사용자인증을 구현할 것을 제안한다.

Recently, many biometrics-based user authentication schemes for telecare medicine information systems (TMIS) have been proposed to improve the security problems in user authentication system. In 2014, Mishra et al. proposed an improvement of Awasthi-Srivastava's biometric based authentication for TMIS which is secure against the various attacks and provide mutual authentication, efficient password change. In this paper, we discuss the security of Mishra et al.'s authentication scheme, and we have shown that Mishra et al.'s authentication scheme is still insecure against the various attacks. Also, we proposed the improved scheme to remove these security problems of Mishra et al.'s authentication scheme, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is revealed. As a result, we can see that the improved biometric based authentication scheme is secure against the insider attack, the password guessing attack, the user impersonation attack, the server masquerading attack and provides mutual authentication between the user and the telecare system.

Although the PKl-based user authentication solution has been widely used, the security of it can be deteriorated by a simple password. This is because a long and random private key may be protected by a short and easy-to-remember password. To handle this problem, many biometric-based user authentication solutions have been proposed. However, protecting biometric data is another research issue because the compromise of the biometric data will be permanent. In this paper, we present an implementation to improve the security of the typical PKI-based authentication by protecting the private key with a fingerprint. Compared to the unilateral authentication provided by the typical biometric-based authentication, the proposed solution can provide the mutual authentication. In addition to the increased security, this solution can alleviate the privacy issue of the fingerprint data by conglomerating the fingerprint data with the private key and storing the conglomerated data in a user-carry device such as a smart card. With a 32-bit ARM7-based smart card and a Pentium 4 PC, the proposed fingerprint-based PKI authentication can be executed within 1.3second.

전통적인 산업과 ICT의 융합은 ICT에서 나타나는 보안 위협 및 취약점과 기존 산업의 특수한 산업 종속적인 문제점이 혼합되어 새로운 보안위협 및 취약점이 나타나고 있다. 특히, 의료ICT융합산업에서는 의료정보시스템을 중심으로 사용자 인증에 대한 다양한 문제가 파생되어, 오남용, 보안취약점에 악용되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 의료 ICT 융합환경에서 안전한 사용자 관리를 위한 사용자 인증시스템을 설계하고 프로토타입을 구현하였다. 구체적으로, 의료정보시스템을 중심으로 개인화 기기를 활용하여 사용자 인증을 수행함으로써 ID 공유로 나타나는 오남용과 보안 취약점을 해결하고, 개별 ID/PW 방식 인증의 불편함을 해소하기 위한 방안을 설계 및 프로타입을 구현하였다.

In 2013, Li et al. proposed an improved smart card-based remote user password authentication scheme, and claimed that their scheme not only overcomes security weaknesses of the Chen et al.'s scheme but also is a more user friendly scheme compared with other schemes. In this paper, we analyze the security of Li et al.'s authentication scheme and we show that Li et al.'s authentication scheme is still insecure against the various attacks, such as the off-line password guessing attack, the forgery attack, and the session key generation attack etc. Also, we propose an improved scheme that can resist these security drawbacks of Li et al.'s authentication, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is revealed. As a result of security analysis, the improved scheme is relatively more secure against several attacks than other related schemes in terms of the security.

In the cloud environment, users pay more attentions to their data security since all of them are stored in the cloud server. Researchers have proposed many mutual authentication schemes for the access control of the cloud server by using the smart card to protect the sensitive data. However, few of them can resist from the smart card lost problem and provide both of the forward security and the backward security. In this paper, we propose a novel authentication scheme for cloud computing which can address these problems and also provide the anonymity for the user. The trick we use is using the password, the smart card and the public key technique to protect the processes of the user's authentication and key exchange. Under the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) assumption, it is provably secure in the random oracle model. Compared with the existing smart card based authentication schemes in the cloud computing, the proposed scheme can provide better security degree.

Message replay, malicious Access Point (AP) associations and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are the major threats in Wireless LANs. These threats are possible due to a lack of proper authentication and insecure message communications between wireless devices. Current wireless authentication & key exchange (AKE) schemes and security protocols (WEP, WPA and IEEE 802.11i) are not sufficient against these threats. This paper presents a novel Secure WLAN Authentication Scheme (SWAS). The scheme introduces the delegation concept of mobile authentication in WLANs, and provides mutual authentication to all parties (Wireless Station, Access Point and Authentication Server). The messages involved in the process serve both authentication and key refreshing purposes. The scheme enhances the security by protecting the messages through cryptographic techniques and reduces the DoS impact. The results showed that cryptographic techniques do not result in extra latencies in authentication. The scheme also reduces the communication cost and network overhead.

In this paper we challenge the user Authentication using KerberosV5 authentication protocol in WPKI environment. This paper is the security structure that defined in a WAP forum and security and watches all kinds of password related technology related to the existing authentication system. It looks up weakness point on security with a problem on the design that uses wireless public key based structure and transmission hierarchical security back of a WAP forum, and a server client holds for user authentication of an application layer all and all, and it provides one counterproposal. Therefore, We offer authentication way solution that connected X.509 V3 with using WIM for complement an authentication protocol KerberosV5 and its disadvantages.

New computing paradigm in ubiquitous computing environments is revolutionizing the way people interact with computers, services and the surrounding physical spaces. In order to provide stronger authentication, MIST proposed an authentication framework for ubiquitous computing environments and assigned confidence values to some authentication methods to facility the combining. However, the assigned confidence values lack sufficient evidence. In this paper reliable confidence values for each authentication method used in MIST is proposed. These confidence values can combine multiple confidence values in some manner, producing a more accurate net confidence value. Authentication entities with confidence values allows the authentication framework to blond nicely into ubiquitous computing environments.

Recently, a new type of encryption called Homomorphic Authenticated Encryption (HAE) has been proposed. This combines the functionality of homomorphic encryption with authentication. Several concrete HAE schemes have been developed and security results for homomorphic authenticated encryption, designed by combining a homomorphic message authentication scheme with a homomorphic secret-key encryption, have been partially reported. In this paper, we analyze the security of a design method that combines homomorphic message authentication and homomorphic encryption, with a focus on the encryption after authentication (EAA) type. The results of our analysis show that while non-forgeability and indistinguishability are maintained, strong non-forgeability is not.
