In this paper, we design a user authentication method between domains when mobile node moves in AAA server based MIPv6 environment. Several papers proposed the user authentication method executing at AAA server in home domain via AAA server in visiting domain. In this paper we proposed the user authentication method using privilege certificates between domains.

The digital contents distribution system via network provides comfortability, usability, and diversified functions to content's users. However, for the characteristic of easy access of digital contents, the copyright infringements and indiscreet contents distribution are realized in this days. In other words, any users with the authentication key can access to copyright contents with any restrictions. To solve this problems, we proposed a user authentication mechanism which prevent indiscreet access to the digital content by using user system information. Also, to provide safe distribution of digital content, we used user's unique content authentication key.

User authentication is an important requirement to provide secure network service. Therefore, many authentication schemes have been proposed to provide secure authentication, such as key agreement and anonymity. However, authority of scheme is limited to one's self. It is inefficient when authenticated users grant a certification to other users who are in an organization which has a hierarchical structure, such as a company or school. In this paper, we propose the first authentication scheme to use Attributes-Based Re-encryption that creates a certification to other users with specified attributes. The scheme, which has expanded from Rhee et al. scheme, has optimized computation performance on a smart card, ensuring the user's anonymity and key agreement between users and server.

In the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Internet of Things emerged and various services and convenience improved. As the frequency of use increases, security threats such as leakage of personal information coexist and the importance of security are increasing. In this paper, we analyze the security threats of the Internet of things and propose a model for enhancing security through user authentication using Fast IDentity Online (FIDO). As a result, we propose to implement strong user authentication by introducing second authentication through FIDO.

Multimedia contents have been increasingly available over the Internet as wireless networks systems are continuously growing popular. Unlimited access from various users has led to unauthorized access of third parties or adversaries. This paper deals with the implementation of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based user authentication for securing multimedia contents over the Internet. The ECC technique has been incorporated with the advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm to ensure the complexity of the proposed authentication scheme and to guarantee authenticity of multimedia services.

Biometric authentication is considered as being an efficient authentication method, since a user is not required to possess or memorize any other information other than biometrics. However, since biometric information is sensitive and could be permanently unavailable in case of revealing that information just once, it is essential to preserve privacy of biometrics. In addition, since noise is inherent in the user of biometric recognition technologies, the biometric authentication needs to handle the noise. Recently, biometric authentication protocols using fuzzy extractor have been actively researched, but the fuzzy extractor-based authentication has a problem that a user should memorize an additional information, called helper data, to deal with their noisy biometric information. In this paper, we propose a novel biometric authentication protocol using Hidden Vector Key Encapsulation Mechanism(HV-KEM) which is one of functional encryption schemes. A primary advantage of our protocol is that a user does not need to possess or memorize any additional information. We propose security requirements of HV-KEM necessary for constructing biometric authentication protocols, and analyze our proposed protocol in terms of correctness, security, and efficiency.

Existing Web authentication method utilizes the resident registration number by credit rating agencies separating i-PIN authentication method which has been improved authentication using resident registration number via the real name confirmation database. By improving the existing authentication method, and it provides the available integrated ID authentication on Web. In order to enhance safety, the proposed authentication method by encrypting the user of the verification value, and stores the unique identifier in the database of the certificate authority. Then, the password required to log in to the Web is for receiving a disposable random from the certificate authority, the user does not need to remember a separate password and receives the random number by using the smart phone. It does not save the user's personal information in the database, and it is easy to management of personal information. Only the integration ID needs to be remembered with random number on every time. It doesn't need to use various IDs and passwords if you use this proposed authentication methods.

Recently, remote user authentication schemes using smart cards has been researched to provide user privacy because of increasing interest and demands. Previously, provided authentication schemes were only concerned about providing user privacy against outside attackers, but the scheme. which guarantees user privacy against both a remote server and outside attackers, has been recently demanded because the user's information has leaked out through the service providers. When the remote server perceives a user doing a malicious act, the server should be able to trace the malicious user by receiving help from a trust agency. In this paper, we suggest a scheme which not only guarantees user privacy against both a remote server and outside attackers, but also provides traceable anonymity authentication.

In this paper, as a result of analyzing the TMIS authentication protocol using ECC and biometric information proposed by Chen-Chen in 2023, there were security problems such as user impersonation attack, man-in-the-middle attack, and user anonymity. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved authentication protocol that provides user anonymity to solve these problems. As a result of analyzing the security of the protocol proposed in this paper, it was analyzed to be secure for various attacks such as offline password guessing attack, user impersonation attack, smart-card loss attack, insider attack, perfect forward attack. It has also been shown to provided user privacy by guaranteeing user anonymity and untraceability, which must be guaranteed in TMIS. In addition, there was no significant increase in computational complexity, so the efficiency of execution time was achieved. Therefore, the proposed protocol in this paper is a suitable user authentication protocol for TMIS.

Recently, with the development of IoT, AI, and mobile terminals, medical information platforms are expanding. The medical information platform can determine a patient's emergency situation, and medical staff can easily access patient information through a mobile terminal. However, in the existing platform, emergency situation decision is delayed, and faster and stronger authentication is required in emergency situations. Therefore, we propose an edge computing-based medical information platform for automatic authentication using patient situations. We design an edge computing-based medical information platform architecture capable of rapid transmission of biometric data of IoT and quick emergency situation decision, and implement the platform data flow in emergency situations. Relying on this platform, we propose the automatic authentication using patient situations. The automatic authentication protects patient information through patient-centered authentication by using the patient's situation as an authentication factor, and enables quick authentication by automatically proceeding with mobile terminal authentication after user authentication in emergencies without user intervention. We compared the proposed platform with existing platforms to show that it can make quick and stable emergency decisions. In addition, comparing the automatic authentication with existing authentication showed that it is fast and protects medical information centered on patient situations in emergency situations.
