With the rapid development of information and communications technology, the construction of efficient, reliable, and safe Internet of Things (IoT) is an inevitable trend in order to meet high-quality demands for the forthcoming 6G communications. In this paper, we study a secure intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted IoT system where malicious eavesdropper trying to sniff out the desired information from the transmission links between the IRS and legitimate IoT devices. We discuss the system overall performance and propose a hybrid resource allocation scheme for maximizing the secrecy capacity and secrecy energy efficiency. In order to achieve the trade-off between transmission reliability, communication security, and energy efficiency, we develop a quantum-inspired marine predator algorithm (QMPA) for realizing rational configuration of system resources and prevent from eavesdropping. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the QMPA over other strategies. It is also indicated that proper IRS deployment and power allocation are beneficial for the enhancement of system overall capacity.

양자 암호통신에서는 키를 실시간으로 안전하게 분배하는 양자 키 분배방식이 핵심이다. 본 논문에서는 양자 키 분배 방식인 BB84 protocol 과 B92 protocol 을 python 으로 구현(이를 Lee's code 라 명명)한다. 기존에 존재하는 양자 simulator 와 LEE's code 를 이용해 error rate 의 차이를 두 가지 관점(기저에 따른 차이, 도청률에 따른 차이)에서 비교한다. 이를 바탕으로 어떤 protocol 이 도청자로부터 더 취약한지 알아본 결과, B92 protocol 의 QBER 이 항상 높으므로 도청자를 잡아내기는 쉽지만, 기저가 두 가지 밖에 없으므로 도청자의 공격에는 취약함을 알 수 있다.

The multi-hop wireless sensor network (WSN) suffers from energy limitation and eavesdropping attacks. We propose a simple and energy-efficient convergecast mechanism using inter-flow random linear network coding that can provide confidentiality to the multi-hop WSN. Our scheme consists of two steps, constructing a logical tree of sensor nodes rooted at the sink node, with using the Bloom filter, and transmitting sensory data encoded by sensor nodes along the logical tree upward to the sink where the encoded data are decoded according to our proposed multi-hop network coding (MHNC) mechanism. We conducted simulations using OMNET++ CASTALIA-3.3 framework and validated that MHNC outperforms the conventional mechanism in terms of packet delivery ratio, data delivery time and energy efficiency.

IP-TV 서비스는 통신/방송 융합서비스로서 데이터 스트림이 송출되는 Server로부터 QoS가 보장되는 IP망을 통해 디지털 영상 방송이나 양방향 서비스를 가입자 단말까지 제공하는 서비스이다. IP-TV 서비스는 보안을 위해 CAS(Conditional Access System)를 사용하고, 또한 효율적인 콘텐츠의 전송을 위해 IP Multicast를 사용하게 된다. 보안 기능이 제공되지 않는 IP Multicast는 익명성을 허용하게 하여 eavesdropping, denial of service(DoS) Attack등이 가능하고, 또한 AAA(Authentication, Accounting, Authorization) 기능이 제공되지 않는다. IP-TV에서는 보안을 제공하기위해 Application 계층에서 CAS를 운용하게 되는데, 이는 Network계층에서 보안문제를 해결하는 것 보다 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 IGMP프로토콜을 확장, 개선하여 상호인증을 통해 CAS Server와 연계하여 IP-TV에 적합하게 만든 프로토콜을 제시함으로서, 이와 같은 문제점들을 해결하였다.

Since WSNs encounter attacks, such as jamming or eavesdropping without physical access occurs, security is one of the important requirements for WSNs. The key pre-distribution scheme that was recently researched for advance of security in WSNs distributes the keys and probability with the use of q-composite random key pre-distribution method, but there is a high probability that no key shared between sensor nodes, and it takes a lot of time and energy to find out the shared key. Therefore, it is not suitable for WSNs. In order to enhance stability of a node that plays a role of gateway without depending on probabilistic key, this paper proposesa key pre-distribution scheme combined with random key pre-distribution scheme and double hash chain. Since the proposed scheme can maintain a small storage place and strong security strengths, it is more efficient than the existing schemes with the same security strengths. In addition, since it uses a small size of key generation key set, it can reduce a great deal of storage overhead.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication occurs when devices exchange information independent of human intervention. Prominent among the technical challenges to M2M communication are security issues, such as eavesdropping, spoofing, modification, and privacy violation. Hence, it is very important to establish secure communication. In this paper, we propose a remote authentication scheme, based on dynamic ID, which provides secure communication while avoiding exposure of data through authentication between the M2M domain and the network domain in the M2M architecture. We then prove the correctness and security of the proposed scheme using a logic-based formal method.

In this paper, we describe a simultaneously transmitted jamming (ST-jamming) for bi-directional in-band full-duplex (IFD) system to improve information security at the physical layer. By exploiting ST-jamming, each legitimate user transmits data samples and jamming samples together in one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol according to given traffic asymmetry. Regardless of the traffic difference in both directions in IFD communication, eavesdropping of confidential information is prevented in both directions simultaneously without the loss of data rate. We first propose an encoding scheme and the corresponding decoding scheme for ST-jamming to be used by the legitimate users. In addition, we study a transceiver structure of the legitimate users including a baseband modem uniquely designed for the use of ST-jamming. The leakage of confidential information at an eavesdropper is then quantified by studying the mutual information between the confidential transmit signals and the received signals of the eavesdropper. Simulation results show that the proposed ST-jamming significantly reduces the leakage of legitimate information at the eavesdropper.

This paper proposes an authentication protocol based on hash and AES safe from various types of attacks in order to assure the security of communication between tags and readers, which exchange data with each other wirelessly in a RFID system. The proposed authentication protocol resolves a problem in existing hash-based protocols whereby the same hidden value is generated for the same identification in each session. In order to hide tag identification information a number of complicated calculations were required, but using the proposed AES protocol reduces such calculations, strengthens security against replay attack, spoofing attack, traffic analysis, eavesdropping, etc. and assure mutual authentication between tags and readers.

In this paper, we investigate the tradeoff between security and reliability for a multi-hop protocol in cluster-based underlay cognitive radio networks. In the proposed protocol, a secondary source communicates with a secondary destination via the multi-hop relay method in the presence of a secondary eavesdropper. To enhance system performance under the joint impact of interference constraint required by multiple primary users and hardware impairments, the best relay node is selected at each hop to relay the source data to the destination. Moreover, the destination is equipped with multiple antennas and employs a selection combining (SC) technique to combine the received data. We derive closed-form expressions of the intercept probability (IP) for the eavesdropping links and the outage probability (OP) for the data links over a Rayleigh fading channel. Finally, the correction of our derivations is verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

Proliferation of cloud computing services brings about reduction of the maintenance and management costs by allowing data to be outsourced to a dedicated third-party remote storage. At the same time, the majority of storage service providers have adopted a data deduplication technique for efficient utilization of storage resources. When a hash tree is employed for duplicate identification as part of deduplication process, size information of the attested data and partial information about the tree can be deduced from eavesdropping. To mitigate such side channels, in this paper, a new duplicate identification method is presented by exploiting a multi-set hash function.
