Reliance on the Internet has introduced Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to various security threats. A reliable security protocol and an authentication scheme are thus required to prevent the aforementioned threats. However, an authentication scheme often demands additional cost and effort. Accordingly, a security framework for known participants in VoIP communication is proposed in this paper. The framework is known as Randomness-Optimized Self-Securing (ROSS), which performs authentication automatically throughout the session by optimizing the uniqueness and randomness of the communication itself. Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange and Salsa20 stream cipher are utilized in the framework correspondingly to secure the key agreement and the communication with low computational cost. Human intelligence supports ROSS authentication process to ensure participant authenticity and communication regularity. The results show that with marginal overhead, the proposed framework is able to secure VoIP communication by performing reliable authentication.

As the major source of information, digital images play an indispensable role in our lives. However, with the development of image processing techniques, people can optionally retouch or even forge an image by using image processing software. Therefore, the authenticity and integrity of digital images are facing severe challenge. To resolve this issue, the fragile watermarking schemes for image authentication have been proposed. According to different purposes, the fragile watermarking can be divided into two categories: fragile watermarking for tamper localization and fragile watermarking with recovery ability. The fragile watermarking for image tamper localization can only identify and locate the tampered regions, but it cannot further restore the modified regions. In some cases, image recovery for tampered regions is very essential. Generally, the fragile watermarking for image authentication and recovery includes three procedures: watermark generation and embedding, tamper localization, and image self-recovery. In this article, we make a review on self-embedding fragile watermarking methods. The basic model and the evaluation indexes of this watermarking scheme are presented in this paper. Some related works proposed in recent years and their advantages and disadvantages are described in detail to help the future research in this field. Based on the analysis, we give the future research prospects and suggestions in the end.

This work proposes a new distributed and self-organized authentication scheme for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). Apart from describing all its components, special emphasis is placed on proving that the proposal fulfils most requirements derived from the special characteristics of MANETs, including limited physical protection of broadcast medium, frequent route changes caused by mobility, and lack of structured hierarchy. Interesting conclusions are obtained from an analysis of simulation experiments in different scenarios.

As a new type of wireless network, Ad hoc network does not depend on any pre-founded infrastructure, and it has no centralized control unit. The computation and transmission capability of each node are limited. In this paper, a self-updating one-time password mutual authentication protocol for Ad hoc network is proposed. The most significant feature is that a hash chain can update by itself smoothly and securely through capturing the secure bit of the tip. The updating process does not need any additional protocol or re-initialization process and can be continued indefinitely to give rise to an infinite length hash chain, that is, the times of authentication is unlimited without reconstructing a new hash chain. Besides, two random variable are added into the messages interacted during the mutual authentication, enabling the protocol to resist man-in-the-middle attack. Also, the user's identity information is introduced into the seed of hash chain, so the scheme achieves anonymity and traceability at the same time.

심전도(ECG, electrocardiogram) 신호를 이용한 본인 인증기술은 기존의 바이오 인증을 대체할 수 있는 본인 인증기술로 주목받고 있다. 디지털 전자키를 인식하는 장치를 차량에 탑재하여 자동차와 무선으로 데이터를 송수신할 수 있게 하고, 스마트폰 등을 활용해 자동차의 차 문을 잠금 또는 해제하거나, 시동을 걸 수 있는 기능을 스마트폰을 통해 차량 제어할 수 있다. 그러나 스마트키는 보안에 취약하여 이를 해결하고 운전자의 편의성을 제공하기 위해 바이오 인증기술을 적용한 스마트키를 연구하였다. 심전도를 이용한 개인인증 알고리즘을 시계 형태의 웨어러블 디바이스에 탑재하여 바이오인증을 하고 개인인증이 완료되면 자동차의 스마트키 기능을 할 수 있었다. 인증율 95%를 달성하였다. 운전자는 스마트키를 소지할 필요가 없고, 분실 및 해킹에 안전하게 보호할 수 있는 대안으로 스마트키를 제안한다. 심전도를 이용한 개인 인증기술을 활용한 스마트키는 개인인증을 통해 다양한 분야에 적용이 가능하고 향후 심전도를 이용한 본인확인 장치 등에 적용할 수 있는 방법을 연구할 계획이다.

Recently, mobile phones have been recognized as the most convenient type of mobile payment device. However, they have some security problems; therefore, mobile devices cannot be used for unauthorized transactions using anonymous data by unauthenticated users in a cloud environment. This paper suggests a mobile payment system that uses a certificate mode in which a user receives a paperless receipt of a product purchase in a cloud environment. To address mobile payment system security, we propose the transaction certificate mode (TCM), which supports mutual authentication and key management for transaction parties. TCM provides a software token, the transaction certificate token (TCT), which interacts with a cloud self-proxy server (CSPS). The CSPS shares key management with the TCT and provides simple data authentication without complex encryption. The proposed self-creating protocol supports TCM, which can interactively communicate with the transaction parties without accessing a user's personal information. Therefore, the system can support verification for anonymous data and transaction parties and provides user-based mobile payments with a paperless receipt.

인터넷이 발달하면서 온라인에서 나를 증명하는 사용자 인증기술은 고도화되고 있다. 기존 ID 방식은 서비스 제공자가 개인정보를 관리하며 보안이 취약할 경우 개인정보 유출의 위협이 있고, 정보 주체가 서비스 제공자에게 있다. 본 연구에서는 온라인 신분 확인 기술이 발전함에 따라 중앙집중 형식에서 오는 개인정보 유출 위협을 낮추고 사용자 주권 강화를 위한 DID 기반 본인 인증 모델을 제안한다. 제안 모델은 발행기관으로부터 발급받은 VC를 통해 사용자가 직접 개인정보를 관리하고 정보 주제가 사용자에게 있어 주권을 강화할 수 있다. 연구 방법으로는 분산원장 기술을 기반으로 한 탈중앙화 신원증명 방법을 이용하여 보안성과 무결성을 보장하는 본인 인증 모델을 제시하고, 공격방식에 대한 보안성을 분석한다. 공개키 암호 알고리즘을 사용하는 DID Auth를 통해 인증하여 스니핑, 중간자공격 등으로부터 안전하며 제안 모델은 실물 신분증을 대체할 수 있다.

With the rapid development of vehicular ad hoc Network (VANET), it has gained significant popularity and received increasing attentions from both academics and industry communities in aspects of security and efficiency. To address the security and efficiency issues, a self-authentication and deniable efficient group key agreement protocol is proposed in this paper. The scheme establishes a group between road side units (RSUs) and vehicles by using self-authentication without certification authority, and improves certification efficiency by using group key (GK) transmission method. At the same time, to avoid the attacker attacking the legal vehicle by RSUs, we adopt deniable group key agreement method to negotiation session key (sk) and use it to transmit GK between RSUs. In addition, vehicles not only broadcast messages to other vehicles, but also communicate with other members in the same group. Therefore, group communication is necessary in VANET. Finally, the performance analysis shows superiority of our scheme in security problems, meanwhile the verification delay, transmission overheard and message delay get significant improvement than other related schemes.

User authentication is an important requirement to provide secure network service. Therefore, many authentication schemes have been proposed to provide secure authentication, such as key agreement and anonymity. However, authority of scheme is limited to one's self. It is inefficient when authenticated users grant a certification to other users who are in an organization which has a hierarchical structure, such as a company or school. In this paper, we propose the first authentication scheme to use Attributes-Based Re-encryption that creates a certification to other users with specified attributes. The scheme, which has expanded from Rhee et al. scheme, has optimized computation performance on a smart card, ensuring the user's anonymity and key agreement between users and server.
