For Internet of Things, it is more preferred to have immediate access to environment information from sensor nodes (SNs) rather than from gateway nodes (GWNs). To fulfill the goal, mutual authentication scheme between user and SNs with session key (SK) negotiation is more suitable. However, this is a challenging task due to the constrained power, computation, communication and storage resources of SNs. Though lots of authentication schemes with SK negotiation have been designed to deal with it, they are still insufficiently secure and/or efficient, and some even have serious vulnerabilities. Therefore, we design an efficient secure authentication scheme with session key negotiation (eSAS2KN) for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) utilizing fuzzy extractor technique, hash function and bitwise exclusive-or lightweight operations. In the eSAS2KN, user and SNs are mutually authenticated with anonymity, and an SK is negotiated for their direct and instant communications subsequently. To prove the security of eSAS2KN, we give detailed informal security analysis, carry out logical verification by applying BAN logic, present formal security proof by employing Real-Or-Random (ROR) model, and implement formal security verification by using AVISPA tool. Finally, computation and communication costs comparison show the eSAS2kN is more efficient and secure for practical application.

Now a days, as increased the use of mobile units like a laptop computer and PDA, the demand for high speed internet service is increasing. On the other hand, PKMv2 which is provided from IEEE 802.16e cannot support fully on the security of high speed internet service. This paper proposes light-weight mutual authentication protocol which solved security problem of PKMv2 related to integrity of mobile node for transmission of safe high speed data of mobile node operating in mobile WiMAX environment. Proposed mutual authentication protocol increases the efficiency as the user in network can move in network safely without additional procedure of authentication between subscriber and base station after user's initial authentication. Also, the proposed mutual authentication protocol is safe from the security attack (the man-in-the-middle attack and reply attack) between subscriber and base station by generating a key adopt to PRF() function using random number and secret value in order to secure certification.

The SOAP specifications are not provided a functions of information security, especially authentication function. In case of user authentication, delivery of the username and password elements can be exposed to sniffing/replay attack by malicious attacker. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism to protect authentication attacks for the SOAP messages. The proposed mechanism is compensated for weakness of S/KEY system. Our mechanism has no limitation for time and overhead and also provide a more effective and secure delivery.

Recently, a large number of authentication schemes based on smart cards have been proposed, using the thinking of OTP (one-time password) to withstand replay attack. Unfortunately, if these schemes implement on PCs instead of smart cards, most of themcannot withstand impersonation attack and Stolen-Verifier attack since the data on PCs is easy to read and steal. In this paper, a secure authentication scheme based on a security key and a renewable token is proposed to implement on PCs. A comparison with other schemes demonstrates the proposed scheme has following merits: (1) Withstanding Stolen-Verifier attack (2) Withstanding Impersonation attack (3) Providing mutual authentication; (4) Easy to construct secure session keys.

EAP provides authentication for each entity based on IEEE Std 802.1x Wireless lAN and RADIUS/DIAMETER protocol, and it uses certificate, dual scheme(e.g., password and token) with the authentication method. The password-based authentication scheme for authenticated key exchange is the most widely-used user authentication method due to various advantages, such as human-memorable simplicity, convenience, mobility, A specific hardware device is also unnecessary, This paper discusses user authentication via public networks and proposes the Split Password-based Authenticated Key Exchange (SPAKE), which is ideal for both authenticating users and exchanging session keys when using a subsequent secure communication over untrusted network, And then we provides EAP authentication framework EAP-SPAKE by using it.

This paper presents a user authentication scheme for healthcare application using wireless medical sensor networks, where wireless medical sensors are used for patients monitoring. These medical sensors' sense the patient body data and transmit it to the professionals (e.g., doctors, nurses, and surgeons). Since, the data of an individual are highly vulnerable; it must ensures that patients medical vital signs are secure, and are not exposed to an unauthorized person. In this regards, we have proposed a user1 authentication scheme for healthcare application using medical sensor networks. The proposed scheme includes: a novel two-factor professionals authentication (user authentication), where the healthcare professionals are authenticated before access the patient's body data; a secure session key is establish between the patient sensor node and the professional at the end of user authentication. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the proposed scheme is safeguard to various practical attacks and achieves efficiency at low computation cost.

The purpose of this study is to support flexible authentication functions in various services using various types of user information. Rather than requiring the same level of authentication for all services, the goal is to identify the level of authentication at the time of user authentication and to increase convenience and efficiency by dynamically granting authority. In this paper, we propose POSCAL (Protocol of Service Control by Authentication Level) protocol which can control service access based on various local authentication information. To verify the function of the authentication framework, we developed the electronic wallet service based on the POSCAL authentication framework and evaluated the implementation function based on the use case scenario. The proposed protocol satisfies user and message authentication, confidentiality of authentication information, integrity of authentication history, non - repudiation of authorization, and access control by service according to security level.

In this paper describes for use Authentication with the WPKI and Kerberos protocol. this paper is the security structure that defined in a WAP forum and security and watches all kinds of password related technology related to the existing authentication system. It looks up weakness point on security with a problem on the design that uses wireless public key-based structure and transmission hierarchical security back of a WAP forum, and a server-client holds for user authentication of an application level all and all, and it provides one counterproposal. Therefore, We offer authentication way solution that connected X.509 with using WIM for complement an authentication protocol Kerberos and its disadvantages.

As the innovative technologies related to ubiquitous computing are being rapidly developed in recent IT trend, the concern for IT dysfunction(e.g., personal information abuse, information risk, threat, vulnerability, etc.) are also increasing. In our study, we suggested how to design and implement to multiple schemes for strong authentication mechanism in real system environments. We introduce the systematic and secure authentication technologies that resolve the threats incurring from the abuse and illegal duplication of financial transaction card in the public and financial institutions. The multiple schemes for strong authentication mechanism applied to java technology, so various application programs can be embedded, Independent of different platforms, to the smartcard by applying the consolidated authentication technologies based on encryption and biometrics(e.g., finger print identification). We also introduce the appropriate guidelines which can be easily implemented by the system developer and utilized from the software engineering standpoint of view. Further, we proposed ways to utilize java card based biometrics by developing and applying the 'smartcard class library' in order for the developer and engineers involved in real system environment(Secure entrance system) to easily understand the program. Lastly, we briefly introduced the potential for its future business application.
