This paper proposes a smart phone authentication method based on user's behavior and habit that is an authentication method against shoulder surfing attack and brute force attack. As smart phones evolve not only storage of personal data but also a key means of financial services, the importance of personal information security in smart phones is growing. When user authentication of smart phone, pattern authentication method is simple to use and memorize, but it is prone to leak and vulnerable to attack. Using the features of the smart phone pattern method of the user, the pressure applied when touching the touch pad with the finger, the size of the area touching the finger, and the time of completing the pattern are used as feature vectors and applied to user authentication security. First, a smart phone user models and stores three parameter values as prototypes for each section of the pattern. Then, when a new authentication request is made, the feature vector of the input pattern is obtained and compared with the stored model to decide whether to approve the access to the smart phone. The experimental results confirm that the proposed technique shows a robust authentication security using subjective data of smart phone user based on habits and behaviors.

A smart phone has functions of both telephone and computer. The wide spread use of smart phones has sharply increased the demand for mobile commerce. The smart phone based mobile services are available anytime, anywhere. In commercial transactions, a digital signature scheme is used to make legally binding signature to prove both integrity of commercial document and verification of the signer. Smart phones are more risky compared with personal computers on the problems of how to protect privacy information. It's also easy to let proxy user to authenticate instead of the smart phone owner. In existing password or token based schemes, the ID is not physically bound to the owner. Thus, those schemes can not solve the problem of proxy authentication. To utilize the smart phone as the platform of mobile commerce, a study on the new type of authentication scheme is needed where the scheme should provide protocol to get legally binding signature and not to authenticate proxy user. In this paper, we create the mobile ID by using both the USIM and voice template of the smart phone owner. We also design and implement the user authentication scheme based on the mobile ID.

It is necessary for us to enhance the security service on smart phone by using voice data on authentication procedure. In this study, a voice data based one-time password generation mechanism is designed and implemented for enhancing user authentication on smart phone. After receiving a PIN value from the server, a user inputs his/her own voice biometric data using mike device on smart phone. And then this captured a voice biometric data will be used to generate one-time token on server side after verification procedures. Based on those mutual authentication steps, a voice data based one-time password(V-OTP) will be generated by client module after receiving the one-time token from the server finally. Using proposed voice one-time password mechanism, it is possible for us to provide more secure user authentication service on smart phone.

The number of smart phone users is rapidly growing due to recent increase in wireless Internet usage, development of a wide variety of applications, and activation of M2M (Machine to machine) services. Although the smart phone offers benefits of mobility and convenience, it also has serious security problems. To utilize M2M services in the smart phone, a flexible integrated authentication and access control facility is an essential requirement. To solve these problems, we propose a context-aware single sign-on and access control system that uses context-awareness, integrated authentication, access control, and an OSGi service platform in the smart phone environment. In addition, we recommend Fuzzy Logic and MAUT (Multi-Attribute Utility Theory) in handling diverse contexts properly as well as in determining the appropriate security level. We also propose a security system whose properties are flexible and convenient through a typical scenario in the smart phone environment. The proposed context-aware security system can provide a flexible, secure and seamless security service by adopting diverse contexts in the smart phone environment.

As the IT industry develops, the smart-phone technology and functions which are actively being studied at the moment greatly influence the entire living environment. With the smart-phone technology and functions, people's interest for the wireless LAN which can be used to get access to the Internet anytime anywhere is gradually increasing. However, since the malicious attacker can easily carry out hacking or approach the contents due to the characteristics of the wireless radio wave, the personal information with a high level of importance for data security is easily exposed due to Spoofing, Denial of Service attack and Man in the Middle attack. Therefore, the demand for security is gradually increasing. In this paper, the safe wireless network service environment is provided by supplementing the vulnerability in regard to Spoofing, Session Hijacking and Man in the Middle attack after executing the client's authentication process, the AP authentication process and the Mobile Agency authentication process with the client's information in the USIM, the AP information and the Mobile Agency information when the client uses the wireless Internet through the Mobile Agency AP access in the smart phone environment.

In this paper, we propose user authentication methods using a microphone and a speaker in smart phones. The proposed methods guarantee that the user is located close to the target device by transmitting the challenge via an audio channel. We propose two authentication methods; user authentication for a PC or a website using a smart phone as a hardware token, and user authentication to log on to a smart phone using a PC as a token. Because our methods use typical peripheral devices such as a microphone and a speaker, they do not require any special-purpose hardware equipment. In addition, the elderly and the handicapped can easily use our methods because the methods are activated by simple operations.

With the popularization of smart phones and the development of the Internet, many people use smart phones to conduct identity verification procedures. smart phones are easier and faster to authenticate than personal desktop computers. However, as Internet hacking technology and malicious code distribution technology rapidly evolve and attack types become more diverse, authentication methods suitable for mobile environment are required. As authentication methods, there are methods such as possessive-based authentication, knowledge-based authentication, biometric-based authentication, pattern-based authentication, and multi-element authentication. In this paper, we propose a user authentication mechanism that uses collected information as authentication factor using smart phone. Using the proposed authentication mechanism, it is possible to use the smart phone information and environment information of the user as a hidden authentication factor, so that the authentication process can be performed without being exposed to others. We implemented the user authentication system using the proposed authentication mechanism and evaluated the effectiveness based on applicability, convenience, and security.
