The widespread implementation of RFID in ubiquitous computing is constrained considerably by privacy and security unreliability of the wireless communication channel. This failure to satisfy the basic, security needs of the technology has a direct impact of the limited computational capability of the tags, which are essential for the implementation of RFID. Because the universal application of RFID means the use of low cost tags, their security is limited to lightweight cryptographic primitives. Therefore, EPCGen2, which is a class of low cost tags, has the enabling properties to support their communication protocols. This means that satisfying the security needs of EPCGen2 could ensure low cost security because EPCGen2 is a class of low cost, passive tags. In that way, a solution to the hindrance of low cost tags lies in the security of EPCGen2. To this effect, many lightweight authentication protocols have been proposed to improve the privacy and security of communication protocols suitable for low cost tags. Although many EPCgen2 compliant protocols have been proposed to ensure the security of low cost tags, the optimum security has not been guaranteed because many protocols are prone to well-known attacks or fall short of acceptable computational load. This paper proposes a remedy protocol to the flyweight RFID authentication protocol proposed by Burmester and Munilla against a desynchronization attack. Based on shared pseudorandom number generator, this protocol provides mutual authentication, anonymity, session unlinkability and forward security in addition to security against a desynchronization attack. The desirable features of this protocol are efficiency and security.

Spyware is any software which employs a user's Internet connection in the background without their knowledge or explicit permission. The installation of spywares is generally done in a sneaky, misleading or unannounced manner. It does not only compromise the security and privacy of affected users but also be an obstruction to the digital convergence and ubiquitous computing environments. This paper provides a summary of the definition, status, risk analysis, and security controls of the spywares. Furthermore, this paper suggests additional controls which should be considered at an individual, organizational and national perspective.

Ubiquitous Sensor Network(USN) is the very core of a technology for the Ubiquitous environments. There is the weakness from various security attacks such that tapping of sensor informations, flowing of abnormal packets, data modification and Denial of Service(DoS) etc. And it's required counterplan with them. Especially it's restricted by the capacity of battery and computing. By reasons of theses. positively, USN security technology needs the lightweighted design for the low electric energy and the minimum computing. In this paper, we propose lightweight USN mutual authentication methology based on trust model to solve above problems. The proposed authentication model can minimize the measure of computing because it authenticates the sensor nodes based on trust information represented by subjective logic model. So it can economize battery consumption and resultingly increse the lifetime of sensor nodes.

As computing devices become ubiquitous and increasingly mobile, it becomes obvious that a synchronous and direct peer-to-peer communication model is not sufficient in distributed computing environment. Using an indirect event service instead of other traditional communication model has an advantage of decreasing the coupling of applications in a distributed environment and removing the need for many static dependencies. In this paper, we design and implement the secure event service for providing secure ubiquitous computing environment. The Secure Event Service implemented enables users to perform content-based event retrieval, and supports only eligible event comsumer and event producer can publish and receive events through the secure event service. SPKI/SDSI certificate is used for supporting authentication and authorization in the secure event service. In order to provide a content-based event retrieval, an asynchronous communication between event producers and consumers, and a disconnectedness support for mobile devices, we modify and expand the Javaspace package.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 패러다임이 제시된 이래로 세계적으로 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고있다. 그러나 아직까지 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅은 현실세계에 적용하기에는 많은 기술적. 비기술적 장벽들이 많이 존재한다. 보안과 프라이버시에 관한 사회적인 우려는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술의 실제 환경에 적용하는데 큰 걸림돌로 작용한다. 따라서 진행되고 있는 많은 유비쿼터스 연구들은 각각의 프로젝트에 적합한 보안 및 프라이버시 보호를 위한 기술들을 개발하여 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 유비쿼터스 시스템 연구센터는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅을 구현하기 위해 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅을 제안하였다. 커뮤니티 컴퓨팅에서 발생할 수 있는 보안 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 커뮤니티 스킨을 구현하였다. 커뮤니티 스킨은 커뮤니티 구성원들을 커뮤니티 외부 개체들과 구분 짓고, 외부의 침입으로부터 보호해 줄 수 있다. 커뮤니티 스킨은 암호학적 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 구현될 수 있다. 본고에서는 보안 서비스를 4가지 유형으로 분류하고 이를 토대로 커뮤니티가 보안 협약을 통한 커뮤니티 스킨을 형성 하도록 하였다.

For an efficient role based access control in highly distributed computing environment to reduce management cost, we utilize attribute certificates. Especially highly distributed computing environments such as ubiquitous computing environments which cannot have global or broad control, need another attribute certificate management technique. The techniques for transmission of the attribute certificates and management of the group keys should be considered to reduce management cost. For better performance we structure attribute certificates. We group roles and make the role group relation tree. It results secure and efficient role renewing and distribution. For scalable attribute certificate distribution, multicasting packets are used. We take into account the packet loss and quantifying performance enhancements of structuring attribute certificates.

In the last few decades, global electricity consumption has dramatically increased and has become drastically fluctuating and uncertain causing blackout. Due to the unexpected peak electricity demand, we need significant electricity supply. The solutions to these problems are smart grid system which is envisioned as future power system. Smart grid system can reduce electricity peak demand and induce effective electricity consumption through various price policies, demand response (DR) control methodologies, and state-of-the-art smart equipments in order to optimize electricity resource usage in an intelligent fashion. Demand response (DR) is one of the key technologies to enable smart grid. In this paper, we propose greedy technique for demand response smart grid system. The proposed scheme focuses on minimizing electricity bills, preventing system blackout and sacrificing user convenience.

The demanding in construction of the stand-alone networks and interconnection between convergence devices have led an increase in research on MANET and the application of MANET has been paid much attention as a Ubiquitous computing which is growing fast in the field of computer science. With performance both as hosts and routers, easy network configuration, and fast response, mobile nodes participating in MANET are suitable for Embedded computing but have vulnerable points, about lack of dynamic network topology due to mobility, network scalability, passive attacks, and active attacks which make it impossible to manage continuous security authentication service. In this study, proposes S-EKE authentication mechanism for a robust authentication based on MANET and through identify wireless environment security vulnerabilities, currently being used in OTP S/Key and DH-EKE analyzes.

Ubiquitous computing is a study area explained in a myriad of contexts and technological terms. Payment, however, refers in nature to an act of money transfer from one entity to another, and it is obvious that a payment method will be valued as long as the transaction can be completed with safety no matter what technology was used. The key to U-payment is convenience and security in the transfer of financial information. The purpose of this paper is to find a desirable U-payment scheme by looking at the characteristics of seamlessness under the ubiquitous environments, strong personal device, and peer-based information transactions. We also propose U-SDT Protocol integrating technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, Personal Payment Device, Account Managing Application and Transaction ID as a way to make transactions between users seamless and secure better privacy protection.
