In the cloud environment, users pay more attentions to their data security since all of them are stored in the cloud server. Researchers have proposed many mutual authentication schemes for the access control of the cloud server by using the smart card to protect the sensitive data. However, few of them can resist from the smart card lost problem and provide both of the forward security and the backward security. In this paper, we propose a novel authentication scheme for cloud computing which can address these problems and also provide the anonymity for the user. The trick we use is using the password, the smart card and the public key technique to protect the processes of the user's authentication and key exchange. Under the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) assumption, it is provably secure in the random oracle model. Compared with the existing smart card based authentication schemes in the cloud computing, the proposed scheme can provide better security degree.

User authentication and access control are two important components in high security applications. Recently, Chen and Yeh proposed a method to integrate both of them seamlessly. However, Chen-Yeh's scheme is vulnerable to a stolen verifier attack, since it maintains a smart card identifier table in a remote server. Therefore, this paper modifies Chen-Yeh's scheme and propose a new integrated authentication and access control scheme that is resilient to the stolen verifier attack while inheriting all the merits of Chen-Yeh's scheme. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme withstands well-known security attacks and exhibits many good features.

In this paper, a zero trust-based complex biometric authentication was proposed in a passwordless environment. The linkage of FIDO 2.0 (Fast IDENTITY Online) transaction authentication platforms was designed in conjunction with metaverse. In particular, it was applied with the location information of a smart terminal according to a geomagnetic sensor, an accelerator sensor, and biometric information for multi-factor authentication(MFA). At this time, a FIDO transaction authentication platform was presented for adaptive complex authentication with user's environment through complex authentication with secondary authentication based on situational awareness such as illuminance and temperature/humidity. As a result, it is possible to authenticate secondary users based on zero trust with behavior patterns such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, face recognition, and voice according to the environment. In addition, it is intended to check the linkage result of the FIDO platform for complex integrated authentication and improve the authentication accuracy of the linkage platform for transaction authentication using FIDO2.0.

The purpose of this study is to define a method of building an integrated service to provide various science and technology knowledge infrastructures that are helpful in R&D activities, and to show the cases that are adapted the methodologies. Knowledge infrastructures scattered throughout the entire R&D cycle, such as generating/development of ideas, finding the R&D project, performing the project, and spreading results, are segmented in terms of services, functions, information, and data, and links and converges to provide the knowledge infrastructure that desired by users in one place. We define the integrated service classification, integration level model, integrated architecture, and integrated user authentication system in consideration of logical linkage and integration rather than physical integration of individual knowledge infrastructures. Also, we considered the extensibility as the reference model for building of similar integrated service.

3G telecommunication and wireless LAN provide various wireless communication services with their own native advantages and disadvantages. Currently WiBro service was developed to make up for the disadvantages of those services, and 3G-WLAN-WiBro underworking system which enables a user who uses triple-mode terminals to use those three networks was proposed. Even though each network adopts mutual authentication process between users and networks to provide security and accounting, they use different authentication protocols. In this paper, integrated authentication and key management protocol is proposed which makes use of previously used authentication information and supports safe roaming when a user moves from one network to another one under a same service provider on the 3G-WLAN-WiBro interworking network.

As the life which existed only offline has changed into a life part of which is led online, it is an important problem to identify whether an online user is legitimate one or not. Biometric authentication technology was developed to identify the user more correctly either online or in offline daily life. Biometric authentication is a technology where a person is identified by his or her unique characteristics, and is highlighted as a next-generation authentication technology replacing password. There are various kinds of traits unique to each individual, and biometric authentication technologies drawing on such traits use various devices and algorithms. Firstly, this paper classified such various biometric authentication technologies, and analyzed the effects of them when they are applied on smartphone, smartwatch and M2M of the different devices platforms. Secondly, it suggested the effectiveness-based AIB(Authentication for Integrated Biometrics) authentication technique, a comprehensive authentication technique, which can be used in different devices platforms. We have successfully included the establishment scheme of the effectiveness authentication using biometrics.

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) provides an interactive and personalized service for realizing integrated broadcasting and telecommunication services. Set-top box (SIB) connected to TV is an essential component required for IPTV and has a unique hardware identifier used in identification and authentication. It means that subscriber authentication based on box-level identification is inconsistent with IPTV's main intention of providing personalized services. The proposed solution is to provide an opportunity to use the flexible user-centric authentication mechanism through Java Card applets in IPTV application server and 3G networks. This paper suggests personalized services by moving the user's private data and authentication management beyond the STB to a truly personalized device, the ubiquitous mobile phone. In addition, this paper presents effectiveness and security analysis for verifying the proposal.

Currently, as the Android platform only supports single-user protection, it needs security solution for multi-users. Specially, it has to protect specific applications which have personal and financial information, and be available to support authority management for contents access. Thus, this paper proposes an integrated user authority manger model for the Android platform. It helps application authority which is capable to divide into three statuses: installation, execution, deletion with the help of information technology.

In this paper, we propose adaptive convergence security policies and management technologies to improve security assurance in the home networking environment. Many security issues may arise in the home networking environment. Examples of such security issues include the user privacy, the service security, the integrated networking security, the middleware security and the device failure. All these security issues, however, should be fulfilled in phase due to many difficulties including deployment cost and technical complexity. For instance, fundamental security requirements such as authentication, access control and prevention of crime and disaster should be addressed first. Then, supplementary security policies and diverse security management technologies should be fulfilled. In this paper, we classify these requirements into three categories, a service authentication, a user authentication and a device authentication, and propose security policies and management technologies for each requirement. Since the home gateway is responsible for interconnection of many home devices and external network access, a variety of context information could be collected from such devices.

Centralized systems in computing environments have various problems, such as privacy infringement due to hacking, and the possibility of privacy violations in case of system failure. Blockchain, one of the core technologies for the next generation of converged information, is expected to be an alternative to the existing centralized system, which has had various problems. This paper proposes a blockchain-based user authentication system that can identify users using EID in an online environment. Existing identification (ID)/password (PW) authentication methods require users to store personal information in multiple sites, and receive and use their respective IDs. However, the proposed system can be used without users signing up at various sites after the issuing of an EID. The proposed system issues an EID with a minimum of information, such as an e-mail address and a telephone number. By comparing the stability and efficiency of a centralized system, the proposed integrated authentication system proved to be excellent. In order to compare stability against existing systems, we chose attack methods and encroachments on the computing environment. To verify efficiency, the total throughput between the user's app, the issuance and certification-authority's servers, and the service provider's servers was compared and analyzed based on processing time per transaction.
