SSO (Single Sign On), which allows users to have an access to a various systems through a single authentication, has been receiving much attention from many enterprises due to the user convience through a single authentication and the recent security features based on PKI. An emerging authentication management system called EAM has further enhanced the efficiency and stability of the enterprise IT infrastructrure systems. In this article, the basic concept and characteristics of the existing SSO systems are analyzed and a new SSO model, based on PKI where authentication load is balanced via multiple circulators, is presented.

한 번의 인증으로 다양한 서비스들을 이용할 수 있는 SSO(Single Sign-On) 인증 시스템은 기존에 사용자의 인증정보인 아이디와 패스워드를 서비스별로 설정하고 관리해야하는 문제점을 해결하였다. 최근에는 스마트기기의 보급이 빠르게 진행됨에 따라 다양한 서비스들이 웹 기반 형태로 변화되고 있으며, SSO 인증 시스템의 활용 또한 증가하게 되었다. 하지만 SSO 인증 시스템의 경우 공격자로 인해 사용자의 인증정보가 탈취되었을 경우 재전송 공격을 통한 세션 취득이 가능하다는 문제점이 존재한다. 뿐만 아니라 스마트기기로의 SSO 인증 시스템 적용을 위해 기존 방식에 비해 연산의 경량화가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 SSO 인증 시스템의 구조를 분석하고, 보안요구사항을 만족하는 인증정보 재전송 공격에 안전한 SSO 경량화 메커니즘을 제안한다.

With the growing usage of the networks, the users in the Internet uses some kinds of web server. They confused that each web server uses the different user ID and passwords. To solve these problems, SSO (Single Sign-On) solution is introduced. We presents the modeling methods which are efficiently constructed the network management models. We constructed the intrusion detection systems and firewalls using the SSO. This architecture is efficient to manage the network usage and control. SSO solution designed on the small scale Intranet. CA server in the 550 that depends on PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) is used to issue the certificates. SHTTP based on SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is used to protect the data between certificate server and the intranet users.

In this paper, we propose an authentication system that combines 'Single-Sign-On' and 'Token-based authentication' based on 'Block Chain' technology. We provide 'access control' function and 'integrity' by combining block-chain technology with single-sign-on authentication method and provided stateless self-contained authentication function using Token based authentication method. It was able to enhance the security by performing the encryption based Token issuance and authentication process and provided convenience of authentication to Web Server. As a result, we can provide token-based SSO authentication service efficiently by providing a convenient way to improve the cumbersome authentication process.

In this paper, we define two security concepts, “non-computable security” and “distribution security”, about authentication information committed to a authentication server without any trustee, and propose an authenticatied key exchange protocol based on password, satisfying “distribution security”. We call it MAP(Muti-Server Authentication Protocol based on Password) and show that SSSO(Secure Single Sign On) using MAP solves a problem of SSO(Single Sign On) using authentication protocol based on password with a trustee.

Single Sign-On (SSO) service manages user's account passwords from multiple websites so that security in a high level is required. Users who use the SSO service are authenticated through the Identity Provider (IdP) when logging into the website. We present the security requirements that IdP can take in order to minimize the user's risk whose IdP account is compromised. We describe the security threats that arise when the security requirements are not satisfied. Through evaluation, we prove that the attacker's session cannot be canceled even if the user recognizes the attack if the IdP does not satisfy the security requirements.

Grid services offer SSO(single sign-on) mechanism using GSI(grid security infrastructure) based on X.509. However. portal applications in web environment use ID and password model for single sign-on. Grid portals means a system which provides grid services by integrating portlet contents on single web interface. In existing research such as GAMA and PURSE, SSO for a whole grid portal is figured out in the way that user is authenticated by ID and password in front and call grid service via GSI at back-end. Other types of web applications outside of portlet framework cannot unfortunately access grid service in SSO way in the existing researches, because the SSO mechanism is developed for portlet framework only. In this paper, we suggest a SSO mechanism based on ID and password model, which forwards authentication information and a GSI token for grid access among portlets and grid-enabled web applications. This mechanism is applied to MGrid for SSO, which consists of applications of java web start, applet, servlet, and etc. as also as portlets.

In general, internet users need to remember several IDs and passwords when they use diverse web sites. From an effective management perspective, SSO system was suggested to reduce user inconvenience. Kerberos authentication, which uses centralized system management, is a typical example of a broker-based SSO authentication model. However, further research is required, because the existing Kerberos authentication system has security vulnerability problems of password and replay attacks. In SSO authentication systems, a major security vulnerability is the replay attack. When user credentials are seized by attackers, an authorized session can be obtained through a replay attack. In this paper, an improved SSO authentication model based on the broker-based model and a secure lightweight SSO mechanism against credential replay attack is proposed.

The rapid expansion of the Internet has provided users with a diverse range of services. Most Internet users create many different IDs and passwords to subscribe to various Internet services. Thus, the SSO system has been proposed to supplement vulnerable security that may arise from inefficient management system where administrators and users manage a number of ms. The SSO system can provide heightened efficiency and security to users and administrators. Recently commercialized SSO systems integrate a single agent with the broker authentication model. However, this hybrid authentication system cannot resolve problems such as those involving user pre-registration and anonymous users. It likewise cannot provide non-repudiation service between joining objects. Consequently, the hybrid system causes considerable security vulnerability. Since it cannot provide security service for the agent itself, the user's private information and SSO system may have significant security vulnerability. This paper proposed an authentication model that integrates a broker authentication model, out of various authentication models of the SSO system, with a multi-agent system. The proposed method adopts a secure multi-agent system that supplements the security vulnerability of an agent applied to the existing hybrid authentication system. The method proposes an SSO authentication model that satisfies various security requirements not provided by existing broker authentication models and hybrid authentication systems.

Single Sign-On(SSO)은 사용자가 단 한번의 인증으로 분산된 시스템에서 제공하는 다른 서비스에 로그인하는 것을 가능하게 하는 보안 특징이다. SAML은 서로 다른 entity들 사이에서 인증, 권한 그리고 profile 정보의 교환을 가능하게 하는 XML기반의 SSO표준이다. 이러한 표준은 분산 환경에서 서로 다른 보안 서비스들 사이에 상호운용성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 SAML APIs로 구성된 자바 기반의 SSO library를 설계 및 구현하고 SAML APIs를 검증하기 위해 분산 application의 prototype을 구성하였다. 개발된 library에서 무결성, 부인방지, 그리고 기밀성 같은 보안고려사항들을 XML기반의 서명과 암호화를 적용하여 보장한다.
