As mobile digital devices have come into more widespread use, the demand for mobile storage devices have been increasing rapidly and most of digital cameras and camcorders are using SD memory cards. The SD memory card are generally employing a form of copying data into a personal computer after storing user data based on flash memory. The current paper proposes the SD memory card of being capable of storing photograph and image data through network rather than using a method of storing data in flash memory. By delivering data and memory address values obtained through SD Slave IP to network server without sending them to flash memory, one can store data necessary to be stored in a computer's SD memory in real time in a safe and convenient way.

Widespread use of wireless networks has drawn attention to ascertain confidential communication and proper authentication of an entity before granting access to services over insecure channels. Recently, Truong et al. proposed a modified dynamic ID-based authentication scheme which they claimed to resist smart-card-theft attack. Nevertheless, we find that their scheme is prone to smart-card-theft attack contrary to the author's claim. Besides, anyone can impersonate the user as well as service provider server and can breach the confidentiality of communication by merely eavesdropping the login request and server's reply message from the network. We also notice that the scheme does not impart user anonymity and forward secrecy. Therefore, we present another authentication scheme keeping apart the threats encountered in the design of Truong et al.'s scheme. We also prove the security of the proposed scheme with the help of widespread BAN (Burrows, Abadi and Needham) Logic.

In this paper, we analyse the weaknesses of authentication scheme preserving user anonymity proposed by Khan et al in 2011 and we propose a new authentication schemes preserving user anonymity that improved these weaknesses. Khan et al's authentication scheme is vulnerable to insider attack and doesn't provide user anonymity to the server. Also, this scheme is still a weakness of wrong password input by mistake in spite of proposing the password change phase. In this paper, we will show that Khan et al's scheme is vulnerable to the stolen smart card attack and the strong server/user masquerade attack. The proposed authentication scheme propose the improved user anonymity, which can provide more secure privacy to user by improving these weaknesses.

Thin client computing trades local processing for network bandwidth consumption by offloading application logic to remote servers. User input and display updates are exchanged between client and server through a thin client protocol. On wireless devices, the thin client protocol traffic can lead to a significantly higher power consumption of the radio interface. In this article, a cross-layer framework is presented that transitions the wireless network interface card (WNIC) to the energy-conserving sleep mode when no traffic from the server is expected. The approach is validated for different wireless channel conditions, such as path loss and available bandwidth, as well as for different network roundtrip time values. Using this cross-layer algorithm for sample scenario with a remote text editor, and through experiments based on actual user traces, a reduction of the WNIC energy consumption of up to 36.82% is obtained, without degrading the application's reactivity.

In this paper, we propose a S/KEY based authentication protocol using smart cards to address the vulnerebilities of both the S/KEY authentication protocol and the secure one-time password protpcol which YEH, SHEN and HWANG proposed [1]. Because out protpcel is based on public key, it can authenticate the server and distribute a session key without any pre-shared secret. Also, it can prevent off-line dictionary attacks by using the randomly generated user is stored in the users smart card. More importantly, it can truly achieve the strength of the S/KEY scheme that no secret information need be stored on the server.

Recently, digital rights management (DRM) related researches are widely spreading with prosperity of IT industries. The DRM technology protects proprietor of copyright by preventing mischanneling and illegal copy. In this paper, we propose a new DRM model that has an enhanced and efficient protocol based on certificate using smart card. The proposed model overcomes weaknesses of WCDRM model and has following additional advantages: first, copy protection is enhanced by hiding user's specific information from attacker by storing the information within smart card; second, server load for contents encryption is reduced by making clear protocols among author, distributer, certificate authority, and users; third, offline user authentication is guaranteed by combining partial secret values in media players and smart card. Exposure of core information also is minimized by storing them in smart card. In addition, we show that the proposed system is more secure than WCDRM model by comparing various factors of anonymous attackers.

Existing usability testing method, particularly lab-based usability testing, has been widely implemented for development of user interface. However, the method has critical disadvantages such as high cost, time and effort, unnatural testing environment, and lack of user's direct participation in information architecture. With these backgrounds, this paper aims to develop the web-based participatory tool with particular focus on card sorting. Our tool was developed for allowing user to participate in card sorting with his own computer through web. All the data generated while user is participating in the test are automatically sent to the server, which makes it very easy to collect card sorting data. Users can drag cards of interface elements directly and build the interface structure in their own from their computer-screen so that they can represent their mental models on interface structure of testing website. These functions of our tool can help designers to implement card sorting without tedious and time consuming procedures and improve the method of usability testing by reinforcing user's active participation in building an information architecture.

Ubiquitous environment is constructed by development of an IT technology, offer environment of many service changed to mobile environment. Also, existed service offered at fixed position like home or company, but according to development of mobile device. user require service as moving. Wibro can offer as user moving using mobile device. As requirement should be included authentication, in case of authentication between UICC and AAA authentication server is offered in Wibro, service is available. However, when UICC requires initial authentication to AAA authentication server, identification information of UICC expose as plaintext, so privacy infringement of mobile device occurs. Therefore, identification information of terminal generate randomly using OTP(One-Time Password) that generated in mobile terminal, and we proposed mechanism of privacy protection. Also, we proposed mechanism that offer secure service to user as offer authentication from OTP framework, and offer OTP combination authentication detailedly.

In this paper, we analyze the problem of the user authentication scheme that provides dynamic ID in a multi-server environment proposed by Andola et al. and propose an improved authentication one to solve this problem. As a result of analyzing the authentication scheme of Andrea et al. in this paper, it is not safe for smart card loss attack, and this attack allows users to guess passwords, and eventually, the attacker was able to generate session key. This paper proposed an improved authentication scheme to solve these problems, and as a result of safety analysis, it was safe from various attacks such as smart card loss attack, password guess attack, and user impersonation attack. Also the improved authentication scheme not only provides a secure dynamic ID, but is also effective in terms of the computational complexity of the hash function. In addition, the improved authentication scheme does not significantly increase the amount of transmission, so it can be said to be an efficient authentication scheme in terms of transmission cost.

In the multi-server environment, remote user authentication has a very critical issue because it provides the authorization that enables users to access their resource or services. For this reason, numerous remote user authentication schemes have been proposed over recent years. Recently, Lin et al. have shown that the weaknesses of Baruah et al.'s three factors user authentication scheme for multi-server environment, and proposed an enhanced biometric-based remote user authentication scheme. They claimed that their scheme has many security features and can resist various well-known attacks; however, we found that Lin et al.'s scheme is still insecure. In this paper, we demonstrate that Lin et al.'s scheme is vulnerable against the outsider attack and user impersonation attack, and propose a new biometric-based scheme for authentication and key agreement that can be used in the multi-server environment. Lastly, we show that the proposed scheme is more secure and can support the security properties.
