In a ubiquitous environment made up of multiple sensors, most sensors participate in communications with limited battery, and the sensor node isn't able to participate in communications when all the battery is used up. When an existing authentication method is used for the sensor node which has to participate in a long term communication with limited battery, it creates a problem by making the length of network maintenance or sensor node's operation time relatively shorte. Therefore, a network structure where RM (Register Manager) node and AM (Authentication Manager) node are imported to solve the energy consumption problem during a communication process is presented in this thesis. This offers a low power protocol based on safety through a mutual authentication during communications. Through registration and authentication manager nodes, each sensor nodes are ensured of safety and the algorithm of key's generation, encryption/descramble and authentication is processed with faster operation speed. So the amount of electricity used up during the communications between sensor nodes has been evaluated. In case of the amount of electrical usage, an average of $34.783\%$ for the same subnet and 36.855 for communications with two different subnets, are reduced. The proposed method is a protocol which maintains the limited battery for a long time to increase the effectiveness of energy usage in sensor nodes and can also increase the participation rate of communication by sensor nodes.

This study addressed security requirements for ad-hoc network environments, which lies at the hour of the ubiquitous computing revolution and proposed a partially-distributed certificate management system that can ensure security in mobile ad-hoc networks. The proposed model is characterized by ie ability to handle dynamic mobility of nodes, minimize routing load and enhance expandability of network by allowing participating nodes to authenticate each other without being interrupted by joining the cluster. The security, efficiency and robustness of the proposed model were evaluated through simulation.

Development of the system which provides services using diverse sensors is expanding due to the widespread use of ubiquitous technology, and the research on the security technologies gaining attention to solve the vulnerability of ubiquitous environment's security. However, there are many instances in which flexible security services should be considered instead of strong only security function depending on the context. This paper used Fuzzy algorithm and MAUT to be aware of the diverse contexts and to propose context-aware security service which provides flexible security function according to the context.

The use of a mobile agent in hospital environment offers an opportunity to deliver better services for patients and staffs. Furthermore, medical errors will be reduced because M-health system helps to verify the medical process. Optimized security protocols and mechanisms are employed for the high performance and security. Finally, a challenge in the near future will be converge the integration of Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) with security protocols for applying the hospital environment. We proposed secure authentication and protocol with Mobile Agent for ubiquitous sensor network under healthcare system surroundings.

Currently embedded system has been widespreadly used in digital Set-top box, mobile phone, USN, etc and the significance of security has been increased due to be necessarily embedded in these all system. In this paper we propose new integrity verification scheme among the main security requirements in target system based on the korea TTA standard, security reference model for embedded operating system, published in december 2006. Moreover the proposed scheme is more effective than the previous scheme, Jung, et al.[2,6].

Most security solutions and middleware on home network consider internet users as approaching subject. It is unrealistic where the most subjects are mobile users who want to control home network devices. Therefore minor and fast certification structures are needed to control other devices with mobile device that has lower computing capacity. To solve the above problems, this paper wants to build safe certification frame work for internet and mobile users to control household devices safely. New certification structure is proposed to get out of heavy certification structure like PKI and to minimize encrypting and decrypting operation by compounding session key and public key.

수중음파통신은 물속에서 지상과는 달리 음파를 사용하여 통신한다. 또한 제한된 전력과 자원을 사용하기 때문에 최소한의 연산으로 본래의 목적을 수행해야만 하는 조건이 따른다. 따라서 수중음파통신에 보안을 적용하기 위해서는 기밀성과 안전성도 중요하지만 무엇보다 가용성을 고려한 보안설계가 중요하다. 본 논문은 제한된 전력과 자원 환경에서 동작하는 수중음파통신용 MAC 프로토콜에 가용성이 부각할 수 있는 LEA 블록암호알고리즘의 적용방안을 논하고자 한다. 또한 기존의 AES(Advanced Encryption Standard)와 ARIA(Academy, Research Institute, Agency) 블록암호알고리즘과의 성능분석을 통해 LEA의 우수성과 수중음파통신에 적합성을 보이고자 한다.

In this paper, we describe ubiquitous environments and the trend of convergence that is an evolution path of. current telecommunication, and show the concept of broadband convergence network, service feature and evolution path. In order to converge wire and wireless communication, telecommunication and broadcasting, voice and data efficiently, broadband convergence network divides a network into service layer, control layer, transport layer, ubiquitous access and terminal layer. Broadband convergence network will be a network that can provide and control broadband multimedia services with QoS and security of different and customized level. Then we depict characteristics and types of broadband multimedia service, and describe the characteristic of broadband convergence network. Finally, we show ubiquitous network based on the broadband convert- gence network to provide ubiquitous service which is a future telecommunication service. We also describe requirements of ubiquitous network such as an intelligent and context based platform, convergence terminals, ubi- quitous computing devices, etc.

Traditional access control models like role-based access control model are insufficient in security needs in ubiquitous computing environment because they take no thought of access control based on user's context or environment condition. In these days, although researches on context-aware access control using user's context or environment conditions based on role-based access control are emerged, they are on the primary stage. We present context definitions md an access control model to provide more flexible and dynamic context-aware access control based on role-based access control. Specially, we describe the conflict problems occurred in the middle of making an access decision. After classifying the conflict problems, we show some resolutions to solve them. In conclusion, we will lay the foundations of the development of security policy and model assuring right user of right object(or resource) and application service through pre-defined context and context classification in ubiquitous computing environments. Beyond the simplicity of access to objects by authorized users, we assure that user can access to the object, resource, or service anywhere and anytime according to right context.

The advancement in ubiquitous healthcare specifically in preventive healthcare can lead to longer life expectancy especially for the elderly patients. To aid in preventing premature loss of lives as well as lengthening life span, this research aims to implement the use of mobile and wireless sensor technology to improve the quality of life and lengthen life expectancy. The threats to privacy and security have received increasing attention as ubiquitous healthcare applications over the Internet become more prevalent, mobile and universal. Therefore, we propose Context-aware Service of U-Healthcare Application based Knowledge using Ontology in secure health information exchange. This research also applies ontology in secure information exchange to support knowledge base, context modeling, and context reasoning by applying the general application areas for ontologies to the domain of context in ubiquitous computing environments. This paper also demonstrates how knowledge base, context technologies, and mobile web services can help enhance the quality of services in preventive ubiquitous healthcare to elderly patients.
