  • Searchable encryption is a cryptographic protocol for searching a document in encrypted databases. A simple searchable encryption protocol, which is capable of using only one keyword at one time, is very limited and cannot satisfy demands of various applications. Thus, designing a searchable encryption with useful additional functions, for example, conjunctive keyword search, is one of the most important goals. There have been many attempts to construct a searchable encryption with conjunctive keyword search. However, most of the previously proposed protocols are based on public-key cryptosystems which require a large amount of computational cost. Moreover, the amount of computation in search procedure depends on the number of documents stored in the database. These previously proposed protocols are not suitable for extremely large data sets. In this paper, we propose a new searchable encryption protocol with a conjunctive keyword search based on a linked tree structure instead of public-key based techniques. The protocol requires a remarkably small computational cost, particularly when applied to extremely large databases. Actually, the amount of computation in search procedure depends on the number of documents matched to the query, instead of the size of the entire database.

  • Various devices, which are powerful computer and low-performance sensors, is connected to IoT network. Accordingly, applying mutual authentication for devices and data encryption method are essential since illegal attacks are existing on the network. But cryptographic methods such as symmetric key and public key algorithms, hash function are not appropriate to low-performance devices. Therefore, this paper proposes blockchain-based lightweight IoT mutual authentication protocol for the low-performance devices.

  • General cryptosystem uses differently the data and key value for the increment of security level, processes the repetition of limited number and increases the periodic feature of LFSR similar infinite series. So, it cause the efficiency of the cryptosystem. In this thesis, proposed algorithm is composed of reformat, permutation, data cipher block and key scheduler which is applied the new function by mixed symmetric cryptography and asymmetric cryptography. We design the cryptosystem of smart card using the common Synopsys and simulate by ALTERA MAX+PLUS II at 40MHz. Consequently, we confirm the 52% increment of processing rate and the security level of 16 rounds.

  • Recently, the importance of EPCglobal Network and brisk researches on the RFID technologies and application have been increasing, also a number of industries including distribution and logistics are proposing various systems of the application. The Standard for EPCglobal Network, as now being in the process of its legislation, stipulates X.509 only for the method of encryption, without accurate specifications. This paper is, thus, to suggest the way of sending safely messages for the web-based service constituting EPCglobal Network, of verifying whether the received messages are effective, of encoding the messages for safer sending and of certifying between systems, and then to implement the way.

  • Wireless Ad hoc Network is threatened from many types of attacks because of its open structure, dynamic topology and the absence of infrastructure. Attacks by malicious nodes inside the network destroy communication path and discard packet. The damage is quite large and detecting attacks are difficult. In this paper, we proposed attack detection technique using secure authentication infrastructure for efficient detection and prevention of internal attack nodes. Cluster structure is used in the proposed method so that each nodes act as a certificate authority and the public key is issued in cluster head through trust evaluation of nodes. Symmetric Key is shared for integrity of data between the nodes and the structure which adds authentication message to the RREQ packet is used. ns-2 simulator is used to evaluate performance of proposed method and excellent performance can be performed through the experiment.

  • This paper mainly presents a secure and efficient e-Medical Record System via searchable encryption scheme from asymmetric pairings, which could provide privacy data search and encrypt function for patients and doctors in public platform. The core technique of this system is an extension public key encryption system with keyword search, which the server could test whether or not the files stored in platform contain the keyword without leaking the information about the encrypted file. Compared with former e-medical record systems, the system proposed here has several superior features: (1)Users could search the data stored in cloud server contains some keywords without leaking anything about the origin data. (2) We apply asymmetric pairings to achieve shorter key size scheme in the standard model, and adopt the dual system encryption technique to reduce the scheme's secure problem to the hard Symmetric External Diffie-Hellman assumption, which could against the variety of attacks in the future complex network environment. (3) In the last of paper, we analyze the scheme's efficiency and point out that our scheme is more efficient and secure than some other classical searchable encryption models.

  • Cloud storage servers do not detect duplication of conventionally encrypted data. To solve this problem, convergent encryption has been proposed. Recently, various client-side deduplication technology has been proposed. However, this propositions still cannot solve the security problem. In this paper, we suggest a secure source-based deduplication technology, which encrypt data to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive data and apply proofs of ownership protocol to control access to the data, from curious cloud server and malicious user.

  • Zheng's signcryption scheme is a new encryptical scheme of which can save more expense than those of the current signature encryption by using digital signature and symmetric key encryption logically. The current signcryption schemes have a problem that is to be exposed the secret key of the receiver in the case of checking repudiation of origin by the third party. To solve this problem, a solution suggested in this paper is to use multi-purpose ID-based signcryption scheme with anonymity and unlinkability. This solution is safe and more efficient than current signcryption schemes because the suggested scheme keeps the security of the random oracle model as using Weil-pairing in encryption. and follows a formal proof of semantic security of the decisional Diffie-Hellman problem.

  • 센서 네트워크는 다수의 센서 노드들을 이용하여 특정위치의 물리적 데이터를 수집함으로써 이를 베이스 스테이션에게 전달해 주는 초소형, 저가, 저전력 무선 통신 기술이다. 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드들은 제한된 전력을 가지기 때문에 센서 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄이며 신뢰성 있게 데이터를 전송하는 프로토콜의 설계가 중요시 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 센서 네트워크 환경의 특성을 고려하여 대칭키(Symmetric key)방식을 기반으로 플랫 구조의 센서 네트워크 환경에 적용 가능한 키 합의 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안하는 프로토콜은 세션키 생성 단계에서 센서의 ID와 랜덤수를 이용하여 세션키를 생성하고 통신하는 노드 중 한 노드가 세션키를 확인한다. 이 노드는 세션키 확인 단계를 통해 데이터 전송 시 세션키 확인에 필요한 정보를 전송하여 상호 세션키 확인이 이루어지게 하며, 세션키 생성 단계와 확인 단계가 정당하게 이루어지면, 이후에 발생하는 세션키는 서브 프로토콜을 이용하여 생성함으로써 효율적으로 통신함을 보인다.
