There are many weaknesses in sensor networks due to hardware limitation of sensor nodes besides the vulnerabilities of a wireless channel. In order to provide sensor networks with security, we should find out the approaches different from ones in existing wireless networks; the security mechanism in sensor network should be light-weighted and not degrade network performance. Sowe proposed a novel data origin authentication satisfying both of being light-weighted and maintaining network performance by using Unique Random Sequence Code. This scheme uses a challenge-response authentication consisting of a query code and a response code. In this paper, we show how to make a Unique Random Sequence Code and how to use it for data origin authentication.

Origin authenticity of the animals used as food has always been a major concern to consumers around the world. In the past twenty years, a stable isotope ratio has been used for origin authentication. In this study, pork samples, both local and imported, were collected from the major markets from all around South Korea and analyzed for stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (${\delta}^{15}N$‰) and carbon (${\delta}^{13}C$‰), using Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IR-MS). A total of 599 samples with 335 Korean and 264 imported from 13 countries within America and Europe were investigated in accordance to the standard established methods for isotope ratio analysis. The results showed a significant variation related to the origin of the samples, explaining the difference in the feeding styles of the pork in each country. The stable isotope ratio values of carbon (${\delta}^{13}C$‰) were found in the decreasing order of: America ($-15.55{\pm}1.01$‰)>Korea ($-19.62{\pm}0.89$‰)>Europe ($-24.79{\pm}1.35$‰). Canada was having ${\delta}^{13}C$ ratio of $-22.87{\pm}0.92$‰, which is very low in the region of America and very close to Europe (-23.78 to -27.17‰). For nitrogen ${\delta}^{15}N$‰ the order was: America ($4.92{\pm}0.71$‰)>Europe ($4.54{\pm}0.66$‰)>Korea ($3.69{\pm}0.54$‰), with a slight variation among countries in each region studied. From the results it was concluded that the stable isotope ratio of the pork samples from different countries provide enough information about the origin and is therefore a potential tool which can be employed for origin authentication.

Public key infrastructure(PKI), principle technology of the certificate, is a security technology providing functions such as identification, non-repudiation, and anti-forgery of electronic documents on the Internet. Our government and financial organizations use PKI authentication using ActiveX to prevent security accident on the Internet service. However, like ActiveX, plug-in technology is vulnerable to security and inconvenience since it is only serviceable to certain browser. Therefore, the research on HTML5 authentication system has been conducted actively. Recently, domestic bank introduced PKI authentication complying with web standard for the first time. However, it still has inconvenience to register a certification on each website because of same origin policy of web storage. This paper proposes the certificate based SSO protocol that complying with web standard to provide user authentication using certificate on several sites by going around same origin policy and its security proof.

Wireless mesh network, which is an access network technology, adopts ubiquitous features of ad-hoc network that includes capabilities of self-configuration and self-management. This paper proposes a scheme which enables nodes along route in wireless mesh network to authenticate data and verify data integrity. The scheme distinguishes infra-node, which is a network device used to form mesh network, and user node in ad-hoc network, which operates functions as a sender, receiver or relayer, to deploy different authentication scheme. That is, hop-based authentication scheme along route forming wireless backbone differs from authentication scheme for user nodes in route over MANET. The proposed scheme is less complex than previously proposed schemes from the repects of security setup procedures and managements. In addition, the scheme is able to reduce transmission delay from a source to a destination owing to fast authentication over wireless backbone.

이질적 분산 환경에서 전자 상거래는 신임장을 기반으로 상거래 참여자들에 대한 인증 서비스가 제공되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CORBA 보안 명세 1 를 기반으로 전자 상거래 참여자들에 대한 객체 단위 인증 및 권한 부여 기법을 제공하는 상호 인증 서비스 구조를 제안한다. 이 구조는 Kerberos 2 의 인증 기법 및 인증 키 교환 기법으로 전자 상거래 참여자간에 상대 주체의 신원 확인 뿐 아니라 거래 진행 중 취득한 정보의 근원을 파악할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 Kerberos 기법을 CORBA 플랫폼 기반의 상호 인증 구조로서 분산 환경에 대해 확장하였으므로 키 관리 등 보안 정보 관리에 있어 효율적이다.Abstract Electronic commerce shall provide its subjects with a credential-based authentication service in the heterogeneous distributed computing environment. In this paper, based on CORBA security service specification 1 which OMG defined, we propose the mutual authentication service for subjects of electronic commerce, providing the authentication of object level and the authenticated key exchange. This proposed structure, by Kerberos 2 for the authentication and the authenticated key exchange, assures not only the identification of a partner but also the confidence of origin of business item for negotiations between subjects of electronic commerce. Since our deployed Kerberos is extended to the mutual authentication service based on CORBA platform, it is efficient for security administration to manage the information such as a key management in the heterogeneous distributed computing environment.

Multicast communication is simultaneous transmission of data to multiple receivers and saves considerably sender resources and network bandwidth. It has high risk to attack using group address and inherent complexity of routing packets to a large group of receivers. It is therefore critical to provide source authentication, allowing a receiver to ensure that received data is authentic. In this paper, we propose the multiple chain authentication scheme for secure and efficient multicast stream. To evaluate the performance of our scheme, we compare our technique with two other previously proposed schemes using simulation results. Our scheme provides non-repudiation of origin, low overhead by amortizing the signature operation over multiple packets, and high packet loss resistance.

Ajax interaction model changes the posture of web application to become a stateful over HTTP. Ajax applications are long-lived inthe browser. XMLHTTPRequest (XHR) is used to facilitate the data exchange. Using HTTPS over this interaction is not viable because of the frequency of data exchange. Moreover, switching of protocols form HTTP to HTTPS for sensitive information is prohibited because of server-of-origin policy. The longevity, constraint, and asynchronous features of Ajax application need to hove a different authentication and session fondling mechanism that invoke re-authentication. This paper presents an authentication and session management scheme using Ajax. The scheme is design lo invoke periodic and event based re-authentication in the background using digest authentication with auto-generated password similar to OTP (One Time Password). The authentication and session management are wrapped into a framework called AWASec (Ajax Web Application Security) for coupling to avoid broken authentication and session management.

E-Commerce, characterized by the exchange of message, occurs between individuals, organizations, or both. A critical promotion factor of e-Commerce is message authentication, the procedure that allows communicating parties to verify the received messages are authentic. It consists of message unforgery, message non-repudiation, message unalteration, and origin authentication. It is possible to perform message authentication by the use of public key encryption. PGP(Pretty Good Privacy) based on X.400 MHS(Message Handling System) and PKC(Public Key Cryptosystem) makes extensive use of message exchange. In this paper we propose, design and implement NMAP(New Message Authentication Protocol), an applied public information based encryption system to solve the message authentication problem inherent in public key encryption such as X.400 protocol and PGP protocol and were to cope with the verification of NMAP using fuzzy integral. This system is expected to be use in the promotion of the e-Commerce and can perform a non-interactive authentication service.

This paper proposes an efficient authentication scheme for multicast packet using recovery layer to provide source authentication. The problems of the existing schemes are as follows ： TESLA requires time synchronization between the sender and the receiver, md hash-based schemes have high communication overheads due to additional hash values and require many buffers and delay for verification on receivers. Our main focus is reducing the buffer size, communication and computation burden of the receiver. The proposed scheme in this paper is highly robust to packet loss using the recovery layer based on XOR operation. It also provides low communication overhead, low verification cost, non-repudiation of the origin, immediate verification and robustness against DoS attack on the receiver.
