  • Cloud computing that provides IT service and computer resource based on internet is now getting attention. However, the encrypted data can be exposed because it is saved in cloud server, even though it is saved as an encrypted data. In this paper, user certification protocol is proposed to prevent from illegally using of secret data by others while user who locates different physical position is providing secret data safely. The proposed protocol uses one way hash function and XOR calculation to get user's certification information which is in server when any user approaches to particular server remotely. Also it solves user security problem of cloud.

  • This paper suggests a new security architecture for facilitating secure OSGi service platform environment. The security architecture includes 1) user authentication mechanism, 2) bundle authentication mechanism, 3) key sharing mechanism, and 4) authorization mechanism. The user authentication mechanism supplies SSO(single sign-on) functions which are useful for safe and easy user authentications. The bundle authentication mechanism utilizes both PKI-based and MAC-based digital signatures for efficiently authenticating service bundles. The key sharing mechanism, which is performed during bootstrapping phase of a service gateway, supplies a safe way for sharing secret keys that are required for authentication mechanisms. Finally, the authorization mechanism suggests distributed authorization among service providers and an operator by establishing their own security policies. The main contributions of the parer are twofold. First, we examine several security requirements of current OSGi specification when its security functions can be applied in real OSGi environments. Second, we describe the ways to resolve the problems by means of designing and implementing concrete security mechanisms.

  • In the paper, we designed a context aware task-role based access control system(CAT-RACS) which can control access and prevent illegal access efficiently for various information systems in ubiquitous computing environment. CAT-RACS applied CA-TRBAC, which adds context-role concept for achieve policy composition by context information and security level attribute to be kept confidentiality of information. CA-TRBAC doesn't permit access when context isn't coincident with access control conditions, or role and task's security level aren't accord with object's security level or their level is a lower level, even if user's role and task are coincident with access control conditions. It provides security services of user authentication and access control, etc. by a context-aware security manager, and provides context-aware security services and manages context information needed in security policy configuration by a context information fusion manager. Also, it manages CA-TRBAC policy, user authentication policy, and security domain management policy by a security policy manager.

  • Recently, request of IPTV was increase. It is a multi-screen service by used TV, PC, and smart-phones. Especially, IPTV and smart-phone linked multi-screen service are very growth by user's recommends. Now, IPTV have a security service partial and multi-screen service. But smart-phone and multi-screen service don't have security service. And authentication service for smart-phone and IPTV linked multi-screen service is don't.. Therefore, We propose that user authentication system for multi-screen service with IPTV and multi-device linked authentcation services. Our proposed system base on Kerberos, so proposal is easy and fast about user authentication. This have simple procedures and more secure services against of PKI. So, our system can support secure multi-screen services against various security threats in multi-screen environments.

  • In order to use an Internet service, it is a general procedure that user subscribes to the service and then registers her or his id(identifier). As Internet has been more widely used, however, user has more and more ids than ever before. In this environments, whenever user uses an Internet service, she or he must authenticate to the service provider, which makes her or him inconvenient. As user's data is scattered and unmanaged on various web sites, user privacy has been revealed more often. This paper specifies e-IDMS which ETRI has been developing to solve such problems. e-IDMS is an Internet ID(IDentity) management system based on ID Federation Mechanism e-IDMS provides ID Federation-based facilities such as composite authentication, Internet SSG, ID information management, privacy protection and interactive query. e-IDMS is used in establishing integrated ill management system for public institutions.

  • Public Key Infrastructure(PKI) provides a strong authentication. Privilege Management Infrastructure(PMI) as a new technology can provide user's attribute information. The main function of PMI is to give more specified authority and role to user. To authenticate net and role, we have used digital signature. Role Based Access Control(RBAC) is implemented by digital signature. RBAC provides some flexibility for security management. NEIS(National Education Information System) can not always provide satisfied quality of security management. The main idea of the proposed RNEIS(Roll Based NEIS) is that user's role is stored in AC, access control decisions are driven by authentication policy and role. Security manager enables user to refer to the role stored in user's AC, admits access control and suggests DB encryption by digital signature.

  • In this paper, we propose FAS model for establishing trust based on digital certificates in Grid security framework. The existing RBAC(Role Based Access Control) model is extended to provide permissions depending on the users‘ roles. The FAS model is designed for a system independent integrated Grid security by detailing and extending the fundamental architecture of user, role, and permission. FAS decides each user’s role, allocates access right, and publishes attribute certificate. FAS is composed of three modules: RDM, PCM, and CCM. The RDM decides roles of the user during trust negotiation process and improves the existing low level Grid security in which every single user maps a single shared local name. Both PCM and CCM confirm the capability of the user based on various policies that can restrict priority of the different user groups and roles. We have analyzed the FAS strategy with the complexity of the policy graph-based strategy. In particular, we focused on the algorithm for constructing the policy graph. As a result, the total running time was significantly reduced.

  • E-authentication is one of the key functions for electronic transactions with the identification function made through the information systems. With the abolition of the mandatory use of public certificates, various private e-authentication services have emerged, and are developing to provide various additional services in addition to e-authentication. In this study, we explored the factors that affect user satisfaction with e-authentication services, compared the relative influence among the factors that we explored, and produced implications that could contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of e-authentication services. Based on the characteristics of e-authentication service, we searched and found four factors such as availability, convenience, added functionality and security. After that, we established and analyzed our research model to analyze the causal relationship between these four factors and user satisfaction. The analysis results showed that availability, convenience and security had significant effects on user satisfaction, but added functionality had no significant impact. In addition, compared to availability and convenience, security had a very strong impact on user satisfaction. This study suggests that e-authentication service providers should make efforts to make users aware of the usefulness of additional services while enhancing security.

  • Currently, various types of user authentication methods based on public certificates are used in domestic financial transactions. Such an authorized certificate method has a problem that a different security module must be installed every time a user connects an individual financial company to a web server. Also, the financial company relying on this authentication method has a problem that a new security module should be additionally installed for each financial institution whenever a next generation authentication method such as biometric authentication is newly introduced. In order to solve these problems, we propose an integrated authentication system that handles user authentication on behalf of each financial institution in financial transactions, and proposes an integrated authentication protocol that handles secure user authentication between user and financial company web server. The new authentication protocol is a modified version of OAuth2.0 that increases security and efficiency. It is characterized by performing a challenge-response protocol with a pre-shared secret key between the authentication server and the financial company web server. This gives users a convenient and secure Single Sign-On (SSO) effect.
