We implement the PBSM (Protocol-Based Security Module) system which guarantees the secure data transmission under web circumstances. There are two modules to implement for the PBSM architecture. One is Web Server Security Module (WSSM) which is working on a web server, the other is the Winsock Client Security Module (WSCSM) which is working on a client. The WSCSM security module decrypts the encrypted HTML document that is received from the security web server The decrypted HTML document is displayed on the screen of a client. The WSSM module contains the encryption part for HTML file and the decryption part for CGI (Common Gateway Interface). We also implement the proposed idea at the web system.

This study introduces server-side security-oriented framework for smart financial service. Most of domestic financial institutions providing e-banking services have employed server-side framework which implement service-oriented architecture. Because such architecture accommodates business and security requirements at the same time, institutions are struggling to cope with the security incidents efficiently. The thesis suggests that separating security areas from business areas in the frameworks makes users to be able to apply security policies in real time without considering how these policies may affect business transactions. Security-oriented frameworks support rapid and effective countermeasures against security threats. Furthermore, plans to avoid significant changes on existing system when institutions implement these frameworks are discussed in the report.

Authentication protocols for multi-server architectures have gained momentum in recent times due to advancements in computing technologies and associated constraints. Lu et al. recently proposed a biometrics and smartcards-based authentication scheme for multi-server environment. The careful analysis of this paper demonstrates Lu et al.'s protocol is susceptible to user impersonation attacks and comprises insufficient data. In addition, this paper proposes an improved authentication with key-agreement protocol for multi-server architecture based on biometrics and smartcards. The formal security of the proposed protocol is verified using the widely accepted AVISPA (Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications) tool to ensure that our protocol can withstand active and passive attacks. The formal and informal security analysis, and performance analysis sections determines that our protocol is robust and efficient compared to Lu et al.'s protocol and existing similar protocols.

Public service provision through internet is one of major parts for e-government implementation. It is essential to link the internal administrative network with internet to provide the services through internet and to support kiosks through internet, which should result in critical issues for security. A relay server, as a front server for the public service processing system and a web server, a control server for kiosks, are placed between the public service processing system and kiosks to solve those security issues. It is the way to solve security issues through protecting direct communication between the public service processing system and a web server and authenticating a relay server and a web server through authentication process. In the implementation of the system this paper provide a design for an architecture model of the public service processing system through internet, which are aiming to develop high level of the quality system effectively, to reduce the risk of initial stage of development, and to reduce the incurring cost due to reworks.

In this paper, we propose a new type of client server environment to improve the architecture vulnerable to hacking in an existing client server environment. On the server side, move the existing Web server to the client side and This is a way for clients to communicate only the data they need and suggests a structure that completely blocks the web attack itself to the server. This can completely prevent a server from being hacked, spreading malicious code and hacking data on a server. It also presents a new paradigm that will not affect servers even if malware is infected with client PCs. This paper validates the proposed environment through BBS (Big Bad Stick) hardware in the form of USB on the client side. This study proof that secure services are provided through encryption communication with server-side security equipment, indicating that this study is a system with new security.

We propose the PBSM(Protocol-Based Security Module) system which guarantees the secure data transmission under web environments. There are two modules in the PBSM architecture. One is Web Server Security Module(WSSM) which is working on a web server, the other is the Winsock Client Security Module(WSCSM) which is working on a client. The WSCSM security module decrypts the encrypted HTML document that is received from the security web server. The decrypted HTML document is displayed on the screen of a client. The WSSM module contains the encryption function for HTML file and the decryption function for CGI(Common Gateway Interface). The formal analysis methodology is imported from format theory for analyzing the data flow of the PBSM system. The formal analysis methodology is based on the order theory.

In this paper, we propose security management architecture that manages efficiently security systems that are produced by different companies and programmable middleware that can reduce the load of management traffic. The proposed architecture applies programmable networks technology to policy based network management (PBNM). The proposed architecture manages and cooperates various security systems using security policy. Also, the programmable middleware provides convenience of management and reduces the overhead of a policy server by translating security policy into execution command. In addition, using programmable middleware, an administrator can manage various security systems that are produced by different companies. We showed that the programmable middleware could reduce the load of management traffic by comparing processing time for enforcing and transferring of policies/messages between the proposed architecture and PBNM architecture.

One-way authenticated key agreement protocols, aiming at solving the problems to establish secure communications over public insecure networks, can achieve one-way authentication of communicating entities for giving a specific user strong anonymity and confidentiality of transmitted data. Public Key Infrastructure can design one-way authenticated key agreement protocols, but it will consume a large amount of computation. Because one-way authenticated key agreement protocols mainly concern on authentication and key agreement, we adopt multi-server architecture to realize these goals. About multi-server architecture, which allow the user to register at the registration center (RC) once and can access all the permitted services provided by the eligible servers. The combination of above-mentioned ideas can lead to a high-practical scheme in the universal client/server architecture. Based on these motivations, the paper firstly proposed a new one-way authenticated key agreement scheme based on multi-server architecture. Compared with the related literatures recently, our proposed scheme can not only own high efficiency and unique functionality, but is also robust to various attacks and achieves perfect forward secrecy. Finally, we give the security proof and the efficiency analysis of our proposed scheme.

Telecare Medical Information System (TMIS) helps the patients to gain the health monitoring information at home and access medical services over the mobile Internet. In 2015, Das et al proposed a secure and robust user AKA scheme for hierarchical multi-medical server environment in TMIS, referred to as DAKA protocol, and claimed that their protocol is against all possible attacks. In this paper, we first analyze and show DAKA protocol is vulnerable to internal attacks, impersonation attacks and stolen smart card attack. Furthermore, DAKA protocol also cannot provide confidentiality. We then propose a lightweight pseudonym AKA protocol for multi-medical server architecture in TMIS (short for PAKA). Our PAKA protocol not only keeps good security features declared by DAKA protocol, but also truly provides patient's anonymity by using pseudonym to protect sensitive information from illegal interception. Besides, our PAKA protocol can realize authentication and key agreement with energy-saving, extremely low computation cost, communication cost and fewer storage resources in smart card, medical servers and physical servers. What's more, the PAKA protocol is proved secure against known possible attacks by using Burrows-Abadi-Needham (BAN) logic. As a result, these features make PAKA protocol is very suitable for computation-limited mobile device.
