WPA2-PSK uses a 4-way handshake protocol based on a shared secret to establish a secure session between a client and an AP. It has various security problems such as eavesdropping attacks and the secure session establishment process is inefficient because it requires multiple interactions between client and AP. The WPA3 standard has recently been proposed to solve the security problem of WPA2, but it is a small improvement using the same 4-way handshake methodology. OAuth 2.0 token authentication is widely used on the web, which can be used to keep an authenticated state of a client for a long time by using tokens issued to an authenticated client. In this paper, we apply the dual-token based randomized token authentication technology to the Wi-Fi security protocol to achieve an efficient Wi-Fi security protocol by dividing initial authentication and secure session establishment. Once a client is authenticated and equipped with dual tokens issued by AP, it can establish secure session using them quickly with one message exchange over a non-secure channel.

Users who use smartphone can using knowledge-based authentication, possession-based authentication, biometric-based authentication, and token-based authentication in order to access rights to systems requiring authentication. However, desktop computer users use method only ID and password, which are knowledge-based authentication factors, due to limitations of authentication devices, despite various authentication methods. In this paper, we designed and implemented a raspberry pi based authentication system that provides multiple authentication method of a user's desired type. The implementation system uses knowledge-based authentication, possessive-based authentication, biometric-based authentication, and token-based authentication. The proposed system can provide a security function that can be used by SMEs, which is difficult to hire a security officer due to the economic burden. The implemented system can be used not only for personal use but also for enterprise, and it can be applied to various fields such as finance and game.

Recently, mobile phones have been recognized as the most convenient type of mobile payment device. However, they have some security problems; therefore, mobile devices cannot be used for unauthorized transactions using anonymous data by unauthenticated users in a cloud environment. This paper suggests a mobile payment system that uses a certificate mode in which a user receives a paperless receipt of a product purchase in a cloud environment. To address mobile payment system security, we propose the transaction certificate mode (TCM), which supports mutual authentication and key management for transaction parties. TCM provides a software token, the transaction certificate token (TCT), which interacts with a cloud self-proxy server (CSPS). The CSPS shares key management with the TCT and provides simple data authentication without complex encryption. The proposed self-creating protocol supports TCM, which can interactively communicate with the transaction parties without accessing a user's personal information. Therefore, the system can support verification for anonymous data and transaction parties and provides user-based mobile payments with a paperless receipt.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have the advantage of being able to reliably manage details after minting, but how can ideas be protected before being converted to NFTs? The use of NFTs to increase the value of digital assets is increasing, but the problem of creating and selling NFTs without the consent of the creator is also increasing. Existing methods for protecting creators include a method of using a traditional authentication system and a method of using a social network, but each has limitations. Therefore, in this study, an identity token utilization method is proposed as a way to supplement the existing limitations. When an identity token is used, a certified NFT is issued through an existing identity authentication authority, so the verification of the authenticity of the token becomes clear. In addition, in inheritance and transfer, it becomes possible to respond to legal problems related to the transfer of creative rights.

인증(Authentication)과 암호화 키(Key) 운용 방법론은 통신 서비스 고려시 소홀할 수 없는 중요한 문제이다. 현재 가장 널리 보급되어 사용중인 IEEE 802.11 기술에서도 이와 같은 보안 지원에 문제가 있음이 명백히 드러나고 있다. 포트 컨트롤을 통하여 접속 지점에서부터 통신을 제어하는 IEEE 802.1X는 이를 위한 적절한 보안 해결책이 되고 있고, IEEE 802.11 WGi는 802.1X를 기초로 하는 RSN(Robust Security Network)울 위한 표준화가 진행중이다. 그러나 IEEE 802.1X 프레임워크에서 상호 인증과, 키 분배 및 갱신 정책은 채택하는 인증 프로토콜에 강하게 의존하는 약점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 UMTS 보안 아키텍처의 인증 토큰(Authentication Token)을 추가하여 IEEE 802.1X 프레임워크에 상호 인증 및 키 갱신 구조를 포함하도록 하였다.

Recently, system studies using tokens and block chains for authentication, access control, etc in IoT environment have been going on at home and abroad. However, existing token-based systems are not suitable for IoT environments in terms of security, reliability, and scalability because they have centralized characteristics. In addition, the system using the block chain has to overload the IoT device because it has to repeatedly perform the calculation of the hash et to hold the block chain and store all the blocks. In this paper, we intend to manage the access rights through tokens for proper access control in the IoT. In addition, we apply the Tangle to configure the P2P distributed ledger network environment to solve the problem of the centralized structure and to manage the token. The authentication process and the access right grant process are performed to issue a token and share a transaction for issuing the token so that all the nodes can verify the validity of the token. And we intent to reduce the access control process by reducing the repeated authentication process and the access authorization process by reusing the already issued token.

Recently on IoT environment, there is necessary of protected network, which is only specific user can access it. Applying OAuth protocol on IoT, it can be easier to construct network authentication system, but it is hard to construct protected network authentication system. And there is weakness of OAuth protocol, which is easily attacked by sniffing Token by attacker. So, it is necessary to secondary authentication for OAuth. In ultimate IoT, the fog computing is essential. Fog computing is extension of cloud that enables networking not only in core system but also in edge system and communication node to node. Strength of fog computing is location awareness, support for mobility, and so on. If authentication in fog computing uses this strength, it can be more specialized in Fog Computing. So, in secondary Authentication, using Cyber-Physical-Social System will increase convenience of user than using existing authentication system, such as authentication certificate, id/password and group key, which is inconvenient for user. This study is about authentication based Cyber-Physical-Social System.

There is great need for efficient user rights management method to provide a flexible service on variety protocols, domains, applications of IoT environments. In this paper, we propose a IoT service platform with CapSG to provide efficient access control for IoT various services of the environment. CapSG uses a token including authentication and access rights to perform authentication and access control service entity providing services. In addition, the generated token for service management, delegation, revocation, and provides a function such as denied. Also, it provides functions such as generation, delegation, disposal and rejection for service token management. In this paper, it provides the flexibility and efficiency of the access control for various services require of the IoT because of it is available to access control specific domain service by using the token group for each domain and is designed to access control using specific service token of tokens group.

Currently there are wide variety of web services and applications available for users. Such services restrict access to only authorized users, and therefore its users often need to go through the inconvenience of getting an authentication from each service every time. To resolve of such inconvenience, a third party application with OAuth(Open Authorization) protocol that can provide restricted access to different web services has appeared. OAuth protocol provides applicable and flexible services to its users, but is exposed to reply attack, phishing attack, impersonation attack. Therefore we propose method that after authentication Access Token can be issued by using the E-mail authentication. In proposed method, regular user authentication success rate is high when value is 5 minutes. However, in the case of the attacker, the probability which can be gotten certificated is not more than the user contrast 0.3% within 5 minutes.

As communication technologies are developed and variety of services to mobile devices are provided, mobile users is rapidly increasing every year. However, mobile services running on wireless network environment are exposed to various security threats, such as illegal tampering, eavesdropping, and disguising identity. Accordingly, the secure mobile communications services to 3GPP were established that the standard for 3GPP-AKA specified authentication and key agreement. But in the standard, sequence number synchronization problem using false base station attack and privacy problem were discovered through related researches. In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication mechanism for enhanced privacy protection in the 3G network. We solve the sequence number synchronization existing 3GPP authentication scheme using timestamp and strengthen a privacy problem using secret token. In addition, the proposed scheme can improve the bandwidth consumption between serving network and home network and the problem of authentication data overhead for the serving network because it uses only one authentication vector.
