In ubiquitous environment, mobile devices, which users carry, tend to be resource-constraint, thus resulting in the need for an authentication protocol, which provides light-weight computations as well as strong security. Recently S/Key based protocols, which satisfy such a requirement by achieving light-weight computations, strong authentication and session key exchange, have been proposed. In particular, You and Jung's protocol is more efficient and secure than others. In this paper, we compare and analyze You-Jung with other protocols. Also, we design an authentication scenario and status of mobile devices while implementing the protocol.

This paper presents a password based authentication and key exchange protocol which can be used for both authenticating users and exchanging session keys for a subsequent secure communication over an untrusted network. Our idea is to increase a randomness of the password verification data, i.e., we split the password, and then amplify the split passwords in the high entropy-structured password verification data. And in order to prevent the verifier-compromised attack, we construct our system such that the password verification data is encrypted with the verifier's key and the private key of verifier used to encrypt it is stored in a secure place like a smart cards. Also we propose the distributed password authentication scheme utilizing many authentication servers in order to prevent the server-compromised attack occurred when only one server is used. Furthermore, the security analysis on the proposed protocol has been presented as a conclusion.

Ubiquitous sensor network is to manage and collect information autonomously by communicating user around device. Security requirements in Ubiquitous based on sensor network are as follows: a location of sensor, a restriction of performance by low electric power, communication by broadcasting, etc. We propose new mutual authentication protocol using a low power of sensor node. This protocol solved a low power problem by reducing calculation overload of sensor node using two steps, RM(Register Manager) and AM(Authentication Manager). Many operations performing the sensor node itself have a big overload in low power node. Our protocol reduces the operation number from sensor node. Also it is mutual authentication protocol in Ubiquitous network, which satisfies mutual authentication, session key establishment, user and device authentication, MITM attack, confidentiality, integrity, and is safe the security enemy with solving low electric power problem.

In this paper, we describe a secure cluster-routing protocol based on a multi-layer scheme in ad hoc networks. We propose efficient protocols, Authentication based on Multi-layer Clustering for Ad hoc Networks (AMCAN), for detailed security threats against ad hoc routing protocols using the selection of the cluster head (CH) and control cluster head (CCH) using a modification of cluster-based routing ARCH and DMAC. This protocol provides scalability of Shadow Key using threshold authentication scheme in ad hoc networks. The proposed protocol comprises an end-to-end authentication protocol that relies on mutual trust between nodes in other clusters. This scheme takes advantage of Shadow Key using threshold authentication key configuration in large ad hoc networks. In experiments, we show security threats against multilayer routing scheme, thereby successfully including, establishment of secure channels, the detection of reply attacks, mutual end-to-end authentication, prevention of node identity fabrication, and the secure distribution of provisional session keys using threshold key configuration.

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.

In this paper, we consider some aspects of binding properties that bind an anonymous user with messages. According to whether all the messages or some part of the messages are bound with an anonymous user, the protocol is said to satisfy the full binding property or the partial binding property, respectively. We propose methods to combine binding properties and anonymity-based authenticated key agreement protocols. Our protocol with the full binding property guarantees that while no participant's identity is revealed, a participant completes a key agreement protocol confirming that all the received messages came from the other participant. Our main idea is to use an anonymous signature scheme with a signer-controlled yet partially enforced linkability. Our protocols can be modified to provide additional properties, such as revocable anonymity. We formally prove that the constructed protocols are secure.

A PAK(Password-Authenticated Key Exchange) protocol is used as a protocol to provide both the mutual authentication and allow the communication entities to share the session key for the subsequent secure communication, using the human-memorable portable short-length password, In this paper, we propose distributed key exchange protocols applicable to a smartcard using the MTI(Matsumoto, Takashima, Imai) key distribution protocol and PAK protocol. If only one server keeps the password verification data which is used for password authentication protocol. then It could easily be compromised by an attacker, called the server-compromised attack, which results in impersonating either a user or a server, Therefore, these password verification data should be distributed among the many server using the secret sharing scheme, The Object of this paper Is to present a password-based key exchange protocol which is to allow user authentication and session key distribution, using the private key in a smartcard and a password typed by a user. Moreover, to avoid the server-compromised attack, we propose the distributee key exchange protocols using the MTI key distribution protocol, And we present the security analysis of the proposed key exchange protocol and compare the proposed protocols with the existing protocols.

This paper presents a user authentication scheme for healthcare application using wireless medical sensor networks, where wireless medical sensors are used for patients monitoring. These medical sensors' sense the patient body data and transmit it to the professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, and surgeons). Since, the data of an individual are highly vulnerable; it must ensures that patients medical vital signs are secure, and are not exposed to an unauthorized person. In this regards, we have proposed a user1 authentication scheme for healthcare application using medical sensor networks. The proposed scheme includes: a novel two-factor professionals authentication (user authentication), where the healthcare professionals are authenticated before access the patient's body data; a secure session key is establish between the patient sensor node and the professional at the end of user authentication. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the proposed scheme is safeguard to various practical attacks and achieves efficiency at low computation cost.

In 2010, Jeon-Kim proposed HMAP(Hash-based Mutual Authentication Protocol for RFID Environment) to resolve a variety of problem related to security using Mutual authentication scheme, the hash function and secret key is used to update in RFID system. Jeon-Kim proved RMAP was safe for a variety of attacks including eavesdropping attacks through safety analysis. However, unlike the claims of the proposed protocol is vulnerable to next session of the secret key exposure due to eavesdropping. In this paper, we analyze the problem of RMAP and proves it through security analysis. And we also propose improved an RFID Mutual Authentication Protocol based on Hash Function to solve problems of HMAP.

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, the problem of privacy protection has been paid great attention. Recently, Nikooghadam et al. pointed out that Kumari et al.'s protocol can neither resist off-line guessing attack nor preserve user anonymity. Moreover, the authors also proposed an authentication supportive session initial protocol, claiming to resist various vulnerability attacks. Unfortunately, this paper proves that the authentication protocols of Kumari et al. and Nikooghadam et al. have neither the ability to preserve perfect forward secrecy nor the ability to resist key-compromise impersonation attack. In order to remedy such flaws in their protocols, we design a lightweight authentication protocol using elliptic curve cryptography. By way of informal security analysis, it is shown that the proposed protocol can both resist a variety of attacks and provide more security. Afterward, it is also proved that the protocol is resistant against active and passive attacks under Dolev-Yao model by means of Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic (BAN-Logic), and fulfills mutual authentication using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) software. Subsequently, we compare the protocol with the related scheme in terms of computational complexity and security. The comparative analytics witness that the proposed protocol is more suitable for practical application scenarios.
