Although various home services are developed as increasing the number of home devices with wire and wireless connection, privacy infringement and private information leakage are occurred by unauthorized remote connection. It is almost caused by without of device authentication and protection of transmission data. In this paper, the devices' secret value are stored in a safe memory of a smartphone. A smartphone processes device authentication. In order to prevent leakage of a device's password, a shadow password multiplied a password by the private key is stored in a device. It is proposed mutual authentication between a smartphone and a device, and session key agreement for devices using recovered passwords on SRP. The proposed protocol is resistant to eavesdropping, a reply attack, impersonation attack.

Most mobile cloud computing system use public key cryptography to provide data security and mutual authentication. A variant of traditional public key technologies called Identity-Based Cryptography(IBC) has recently received considerable attention. The certificate-free approach of IBC may well match the dynamic qualities of cloud environment. But, there is a need for a lightweight secure framework that provides security with minimum processing overhead on mobile devices. In this paper, we propose to use hierarchical ID-Based Encryption in mobile cloud computing. It is suitable for a mobile network since it can reduce the workload of root Public Key Generators by delegating the privilege of user authentication and private key generation. The Identity-Based Encryption and Identity-Based Signature are also proposed and an ID-Based Authentication scheme is presented to secure data processing. The proposed scheme is designed by one-way hash functions and XOR operations, thus has low computation costs for mobile users.

RFID, a non-contact wireless identification technology is being noticed as a technology to alternate barcode system in distribution industry and general industry. Despite of merit of RFID, there are issues to be solved for practical use. One of them, which are most important, is resolution of user's information protection. RFID system without security function bears risk exposing personal data and user's privacy. In this paper, we propose mutual authentication protocol for RFID system in order to solve this security issue. This study aimed to protect user's privacy by providing dynamic ID for tag through authentication protocol safe from security threats. Information being transmitted between backend, reader and tag has no direct connection with ID of tag, and it conducts authentication process using one-way hash function, which prevents attacker's obtaining of tag information using information being transmitted.

Lee et al. recently proposed an RFID mutual authentication scheme based on synchronized secret information. However, we found that their protocol is vulnerable to a spoofing attack in which an adversary can impersonate a legal tag to the reader by sending a malicious random number. To remedy this vulnerability, we propose two RFID authentication protocols which are secure against all possible threats including backward and forward traceability. Furthermore, one of the two proposed protocols requires only three hash operations(but, $[m/2]{\cdot}2+3$ operations in resynchronization state, m is the number of tags) in the database to authenticate a tag, hence it is well suitable fur large scale RFID systems.

The development of mobile phone is growing fast in the all over the world. Besides the basic voice communication, many multimedia services and global roaming service are capable in the 3rd generation mobile telecommunication. Because mobile phone has been the essential tool to communicate, the protection of privacy and the safe transmission are critical ones. In synchronous, asynchronous mode IMT2000 service, the mechanism of mutual authentication and generation of cipher key and integrity key are implemented in smart card chip called UIM, USIM. In this paper, we describe the authentication mechanism of 3GPP and 3CPP2 and its implementation results. Then, we specify a few problems which are not defined in standard.

This paper proposes a mutual identification and session key exchange scheme in secure vehicular communication based on the group signature. In VANETs, security requirements such as authentication, conditional privacy, non-repudiation, and confidentiality are required to satisfy various vehicular applications. However, existing VANET security methods based on the group signature do not support a mutual identification and session key exchange for data confidentiality. The proposed scheme allows only one credential to authenticate ephemeral Diffie-Hellman parameters generated every key exchange session. Our scheme provides a robust key exchange and reduces storage and communication overhead. The proposed scheme also satisfies security requirements for various application services in VANETs.

A quantum computer, based on quantum mechanics, is a paradigm of information processing that can show remarkable possibilities of exponentially improved information processing. This paradigm can be solved in a short time by calculating factoring problem and discrete logarithm problem that are typically used in public key cryptosystems such as RSA(Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography). In 2013, Lei et al. proposed a secure NTRU-based key distribution protocol for quantum computing. However, Lei et al. protocol was vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. In this paper, we propose a NTRU(N-the truncated polynomial ring) key distribution protocol with mutual authentication only using NTRU convolution multiplication operation in order to maintain the security for quantum computing. The proposed protocol is resistant to quantum computing attacks. It is also provided a secure key distribution from various attacks such as man-in-the middle attack and replay attack.

In this paper, we present a conference key authentication mechanism by employing an algebraic method on IMT-2000 environment. To accomplish this, the symmetric balanced incomplete block design is applied for generating a conference key and then this key is distributed to participants. Through the technique for creation of a conference key and mutual authentications peformed based on identification information, a communication protocol is designed. The protocol proposed minimizes the communication complexity for generating a conference key. On a special case the complexity is O(equation omitted), where v is the number of participants. The security of the mechanism, which is a significant problem in construction of secure systems, can be assured since finding discrete logarithms is generally a hard problem.

In this paper, we proposed hybrid cryptosystem of Diffie-Hellman base in Elliptic Curve, and explained for specific protocol design. The proposed system is efficient hybrid cryptosystems system that offer implicit key authentication about sender and receiver unlike existing hybrid system. This system increased safety generating session key using pseudo-random number generator by cryptographic. Because the system is hybrid system, it is more efficient in calculation amount aspect supplementing merit and fault of public key system and secret key system. Also, the system can not get right plaintext except receiver even if sender's secret key is revealed and impersonation attack is impossible. And the system offers security on known keys without influencing in safety of other session's cryptogram even if session key is exposed. And the system is provided safety about mutual entity authentication and replay attack.

As mobile traffic increases rapidly, DMM (Distributed Mobility Management) has been proposed as a mobility management technology for seamless communication of mobile devices as mobile traffic increases rapidly. the DMM distributes mobility management from the core network to the edge network, enabling stable binding updates with low latency. However, the DMM still have network delay and security problems for sessions. In this paper, we point out the problems existing in the DMM and propose a new protocol in which the MN (Mobile Node) directly participates in authentication and mutual authentication is correctly performed to solve this problem. We demonstrate not only security improvements but also performance improvements with performance analysis.
