Although various home services are developed as increasing the number of home devices with wire and wireless connection, privacy infringement and private information leakage are occurred by unauthorized remote connection. It is almost caused by without of device authentication and protection of transmission data. In this paper, the devices' secret value are stored in a safe memory of a smartphone. A smartphone processes device authentication. In order to prevent leakage of a device's password, a shadow password multiplied a password by the private key is stored in a device. It is proposed mutual authentication between a smartphone and a device, and session key agreement for devices using recovered passwords on SRP. The proposed protocol is resistant to eavesdropping, a reply attack, impersonation attack.

Dynamic ID-based authentication solves the ID-theft problem by changing the ID in each session instead of using a fixed ID while performing authenticated key exchanges between communicating parties. User anonymity is expected to be maintained and the exchanged key kept secret even if one of the long-term keys is compromised in the future. However, in the conventional dynamic ID-based authentication scheme, if the server's long-term key is compromised, user anonymity can be broken or the identities of the users can be traced. In addition, these schemes are vulnerable to replay attacks, in which any adversary who captures the authentication message can retransmit it, and eventually cause the legitimate user to be denied service. This paper proposes a novel dynamic ID-based authentication scheme that preserves forward anonymity as well as forward secrecy and obviates replay attacks.

Recently the mobile IPTV service has been spread through the wireless LAN(WLAN). In order to provide the commercial mobile IPTV service through the WLAN, re-authentication for the mobile IPTV terminal is required whenever the mobile terminal roams between APs(Access Points). The most popular one of the authentication protocol standards for the wired and/or wireless LAN is IEEE 802.1X. However IEEE 802.1X takes much time to authenticate the terminal and is not adequate for the seamless mobile IPTV service. We introduce the session key and separate the user authentication and the hardware authentication. And we strengthen the device authentication by the initial registration. By these, the proposed authentication protocol reduces the authentication time and can protect the authentication key securely.

Many businesses and organizations use smartcard-based user authentication for remote access. In the meantime, through various studies, dynamic ID-based remote user authentication protocols for distributed multi-server environments have been proposed to protect the connection between users and servers. Among them, Qiu et al. proposed an efficient smart card-based remote user authentication system that provides mutual authentication and key agreement, user anonymity, and resistance to various types of attacks. Later, Andola et al. found various vulnerabilities in the authentication scheme proposed by Qiu et al., and overcame the flaws in their authentication scheme, and whenever the user wants to log in to the server, the user ID is dynamically changed before logging in. An improved authentication protocol is proposed. In this paper, by analyzing the operation process and vulnerabilities of the protocol proposed by Andola et al., it was revealed that the protocol proposed by Andola et al. was vulnerable to offline smart card attack, dos attack, lack of perfect forward secrecy, and session key attack.

Most peoples are used to prefer to view the video contents rather than the other contents since the video contents are more easy to understand with both their eyes and ears. As the wide spread use of smartphones, the demands for the contents services are increasing rapidly. To promote the contents business, it's important to provide security of subscriber authentication and corresponding communication channels through which the contents are delivered. Generally, symmetric key encryption scheme is used to protect the contents in the channel, and the session key should be upadated periodically for the security reasons. In addition, to protect viewing paid contents by illegal users, the proxy authentication should not be allowed. In this paper, we propose biometric based user authentication and one time key generation models. The proposed model is consist of biometric template registration, session key generation and chanel encryption steps. We analyze the difference and benefits of our model with existing CAS models which are made for CATV contents protection, and also provides applications of our model in electronic commerce area.

This paper proposes a secure and efficient anonymous authentication scheme for health information push service based on indoor location in hospital. The proposed scheme has the following benefits: (1)It is just based on a secure one-way hash function for avoiding complex computations for both health care operations users and health care centers. (2)It does not require sensitive verification table which may cause health care centers to become an attractive target for numerous attacks(e.g., insertion attacks and stolen-verifier attacks), (3)It provides higher security level (e.g., secure mutual authentication and key establishment, confidential communication, user's privacy, simple key management, and session key independence). As result, the proposed scheme is very suitable for various location-based medical information service environments using lightweight-device(e.g., smartphone) because of very low computation overload on the part of both health care operations users and health care centers.

Password authentication schemes (PAS) are the most common mechanisms used to ensure secure communication in open networks. Mathematical-based cryptographic authentication schemes such as factorization and discrete logarithms have been proposed and provided strong security features, but they have the disadvantage of high computational and message transmission costs required to construct passwords. Fairuz et al. therefore argued for an improved cryptographic authentication scheme based on two difficult fixed issues related to session key consent using the smart card scheme. However, in this paper, we have made clear through security analysis that Fairuz et al.'s protocol has security holes for Privileged Insider Attack, Lack of Perfect Forward Secrecy, Lack of User Anonymity, DoS Attack, Off-line Password Guessing Attack.

IEEE 802.11i standard specifies full authentication and preauthentication for secure handoff in 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN). However, the full authentication is too slow to provide seamless services for handoff users, and preauthentication may fail in highly populated WLAN where it is highly probable that the cache entry of a preauthenticated user is evicted by other users before handoff. In this paper, we propose a fast and secure handoff scheme by reducing authentication and key management delay in the handoff process. When a user handoffs, security context established between the user and the previous access point (AP) is forwarded from the previous AP to the current AP, and the session key is reused before the handoff session terminates. The freshness of session key is maintained by regenerating session keys after handoff session is terminated. The proposed scheme can achieve considerable reduction in handoff delay with providing the same security level as 802.1X authentication by letting an AP authenticate a handoff user before making an robust security network association (RSNA) with it.

In this paper, we propose a lightweight mutual authentication protocol for secure and efficient home network service. Lee et al. recently proposed an attribute-base authentication key agreement protocol using public key in home network. Its protocol provided forward secrecy but don't diminish conspicious overhead of operation using ticket. Therefore the proposed protocol provided the security and efficiency using hash function and counter. Also it can provide secure home network service by check consumer electronics control level of users after created session key.

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.
