An EPON which is going on standardization in IEEE 802.3ah, is tree topology consists of a OLT and multiple ONU using passive optical components, so this network is susceptible to variable security threats - eavesdropping, masquerading, denial of service and so on. In this paper, we design a security protocol supporting authentication and confidentiality services in MAC layer in order to prevent these security threats and to guarantee secure data exchange The designed security protocol introduce public-key based authentication and key management protocols for efficient key management, and choose Rijndael algorithm, which is recent standard of AES, to provide the confidentiality of EPON Proposed authentication and key management protocols perform authentication and public-key exchange at a time, and are secure protocols using derived common cipher key by exchanging public random number To implement the designed security protocol, we propose the procedures of authentication and public-key exchange, session key update, key recovery. This proposed protocol is verified using unknown session key, forward secrecy, unknown key-share, key-compromise impersonation.

Renewal of the group key on the mobile communication needs it can be not re-shared by all members of the group with the exception of excluded members but also prevented from making a fraudulent use of group key due to leakage of security information for terminal. In this paper, we propose an efficient renewal mechanism of group key in order for all members of the group to be able to get digital information and to perform the renewal of group key employing the Fiat-Shamir method. It can guarantee the security of a group key since a terminal renews a group key by using security information of an excluded terminal and the previous group key.

For secure multimedia communications, existing encryption techniques use an online session key for the key exchange, for which key size is limited to less than 10 digits to accommodate the latency condition caused by user devices only being able to handle low computational loads. This condition results in poor security of recorded encrypted data. In this letter, we propose a packet key scheme that encrypts real-time packets using a different key per packet for multimedia applications. Therefore, a key of a relatively small size can provide after-transmission confidentiality to data of a real-time session.

In this paper, We present that protocols have already proposed an applicable key distribution and authentication protocol based discrete logarithm and prime-factorization problem in PCN(Personal Communication Network) is anaysised. We newly propose identiity-based protocol using smart card. This proposed potocol is that Fiat-Shamir identification scheme and a new key distribution scheme based on Fiat-Shamir identification scheme are joined. Proposed protocol is compared with suiting protocols with respect to security and efficiency to evalate performance, so its calculation is reduced in key distribution and authentication to evaluate performance.

KeyNote 기반의 네트워크 보안 정책 관리는 분산 환경에서 보안 정책을 관리하고 적용하는 시스템이다. 기존의 네트워크에서 보안 정책 관리는 각각의 시스템에 보안 정책을 설정하여야 하는 구조로 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 KeyNote 기반의 분산 네트워크 환경 하에서 보안 정책 관리를 이용한 보안정책의 정의 및 설정, 변환 등에 관련된 구조에 대한 설계와 이를 구현한다.

In order to protect some important information communicated through an insecure network, a common hidden key must be used. One can produce the common hidden key using key agreement protocols; and this helps to have high security in modern data networks. Today, the designers of public key cryptography protocols try to set the public identity of a system's users (like their email addresses) as their public key. This not only makes a cryptographic protocol more efficient but also decreases its cost. These protocols are called "identity-based". In this article, an identity-based multiple key agreement scheme will be presented; this scheme uses the challenge-response method to do the verification. While the number of random values produced in our scheme is the same as other schemes, the number of keys generated in this scheme is much more than what many other key agreement schemes produce,. Therefore, we will have less computational complexities campered with other schems. In this paper, we consider the security of our scheme and consequently, we will show that it satisfies many security conditions such as strong security.

In this paper, we study the security of key recovery enhanced key exchange protocol. We present a subliminal channel of self-escrowed Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol proposed by P. Paillier and M. Yung in ICISC\`99, and also we present a method to prevent such a subliminal channel. In addition, we review and analyze the weakness of the modified key recovery enhanced key exchange Protocol proposed by C. Kim and p. Lee in PKC 2001.

In the cloud environment, users pay more attentions to their data security since all of them are stored in the cloud server. Researchers have proposed many mutual authentication schemes for the access control of the cloud server by using the smart card to protect the sensitive data. However, few of them can resist from the smart card lost problem and provide both of the forward security and the backward security. In this paper, we propose a novel authentication scheme for cloud computing which can address these problems and also provide the anonymity for the user. The trick we use is using the password, the smart card and the public key technique to protect the processes of the user's authentication and key exchange. Under the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) assumption, it is provably secure in the random oracle model. Compared with the existing smart card based authentication schemes in the cloud computing, the proposed scheme can provide better security degree.

Key agreement protocols allow multi-parties exchanging public information to create a common secret key that is known only to those entities over an insecure network. Since Joux first published the pairing-based one round tripartite key agreement protocol, many authenticated protocols have been proposed. Unfortunately, many of them have been broken while others have been shown to be deficient in some desirable security attributes. In 2004, Cheng et al. presented two protocols aimed at strengthening Shim's certificate-based and Zhang et al.'s tripartite identity-based protocols. This paper reports that 1) In Cheng et al.'s identity-based protocol, an adversary can extract long-term private keys of all the parties involved; and 2) Cheng et al.'s certification-based protocol is weak against key integrity attacks. This paper suggests possible remedies for the security flaws in both protocols and then presents a modified Cheng et al.'s identity-based, one-round tripartite protocol that is more secure than the original protocol.

In this short paper, we revisit the random key predistribution methods for wireless sensor networks with regard to their intrinsic phase called the path-key establishment. First we show that the path-key establishment is less practical than expected and may degrade the performance of key establishment significantly. We then propose a novel path-key establishment method for those schemes and analyze its advantageous performance improvement.
