A blockchain-based decentralized service can offer reliable services without the centralized server by operating the system based on the consensus among byzantine participants. Participants can interact with the blockchain network through a digital signature mechanism but the private key management issue remains unresolved. NIST SP800-57 provides a key-management guidance but this guidance is not appropriate for blockchain-based services because it does not consider a decentralized environment. In this paper, we define the core functions of the blockchain wallet application for private key management and present security protections according to NIST SP800-57, as well as related techniques to satisfy them. Finally, we propose the private key management guideline for secure blockchain-based decentralized services.

It is well-known that, if additional information other than a plaintext-ciphertext pair is available, breaking the RSA cryptosystem may be much easier than factorizing the RSA modulus. For example, Coppersmith showed that, given the 1/2 fraction of the least or most significant bits of one of two RSA primes, the RSA modulus can be factorized in a polynomial time. More recently, Henecka et. al showed that the RSA private key of the form (p, q, d, $d_p$, $d_q$) can efficiently be recovered whenever the bits of the private key are erroneous with error rate less than 23.7%. It is notable that their algorithm is based on counting the matching bits between the candidate key bit string and the given decayed RSA private key bit string. And, extending the algorithm, this paper proposes a new RSA private key recovery algorithm using a generalized probabilistic measure for measuring the consistency between the candidate key bits and the given decayed RSA private key bits.

The arrangement of the general 12-button cellular phone keypad is unified with one or two kind. In general, the several alphabets are arranged in one key. When inputting an English, countries which do not speak English use multi-tap method. We can input next alphabet by pressing key repeatedly. We address the problem of finding multi-tap-based keypad designs which minimize the number of key presses for various case. Genetic algorithms is proposed method for optimal keypad designs. We are to maintain the number of keys, which is ranged from 8 to 12. We also show experimental using non-alphabetically-constrained and alphabetically-constrained arrangement, respectively. Finally, we give improved keypad designs.

본 논문에서는 미국 국립표준기술연구소 차세대 표준 암호 알고리듬으로 선정한 Rijndael 암호 알고리듬과 안정성과 성능에서 인정을 받은 Twofish 암호 알고리듬을 ALTERA FPGA를 사용하여 하드웨어로 구현한다. 두가지 알고리듬에 대해 키스케쥴링과 인터페이스를 하드웨어에 포함시켜 구현한다. 알고리듬의 효율적인 동작을 위해 키스케쥴링을 포함하면서도 구현된 회로의 크기가 크게 증가하지 않으며, 데이터의 암호/복호화 처리 속도가 향상됨을 알 수 있다. 주어진 128-비트 대칭키에 대하여, 구현된 Rijndael 암호 알고리듬은 11개의 클럭 만에 키스케쥴링을 완료하며, 구현된 Twofish 암호 알고리듬은 21개의 클럭 만에 키스케쥴링을 완료한다. 128-비트 입력 데이터가 주어졌을 때, Rijndael의 경우, 10개의 클럭 만에 주어진 데이터의 암호/복호화를 수행하고, Twofish는 16개의 클럭 만에 암호/복호화를 수행한다. 또한, Rijndael은 336.8Mbps의 데이터 처리속도를 보이고, Twofish는 121.2Mbps의 성능을 보임을 알 수 있다.

Self-authentication technology using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is drawing attention as a self-authentication technology that can replace existing bio-authentication. A device that recognizes a digital electronic key can be mounted on a vehicle to wirelessly exchange data with a car, and a function that can lock or unlock a car door or start a car by using a smartphone can be controlled through a smartphone. However, smart keys are vulnerable to security, so smart keys applied with bio-authentication technology were studied to solve this problem and provide driver convenience. A personal authentication algorithm using electrocardiogram was mounted on a watch-type wearable device to authenticate bio, and when personal authentication was completed, it could function as a smart key of a car. The certification rate was 95 per cent achieved. Drivers do not need to have a smart key, and they propose a smart key as an alternative that can safely protect it from loss and hacking. Smart keys using personal authentication technology using electrocardiogram can be applied to various fields through personal authentication and will study methods that can be applied to identification devices using electrocardiogram in the future.

Due to the widespread propagation of mobile platforms such as smartphones and tablets, financial and e-commercial transactions based on these mobile platforms are growing rapidly. Unlike PCs, almost all mobile platforms do not provide physical keyboards or mice but provide virtual keypads using touchscreens. For this reason, an attacker attempts to obtain the coordinates of touches on the virtual keypad in order to get actual key values. To tackle this vulnerability, financial applications for mobile platforms use secure keypads, which change position of each key displayed on the virtual keypad. However, these secure keypads cannot protect users' private information more securely than the virtual keypads because each key has only 2 or 3 positions and moreover its probability distribution is not uniform. In this paper, we analyze secure keypads used by the most financial mobile applications, point out the limitation of the previous research, and then propose a more general and accurate attack method on the secure keypads.

The 3390 million people, around 83% of the adult population in Korea use smartphone. Although the safety problem of the certificate has been occurred continuously, most of these users use the certificate. These safety issues as a solution to 'The owner of a mobile phone using SMS authentication technology', 'Biometric authentication', etc are being proposed. but, a secure and reliable authentication scheme has not been proposed for replace the certificate yet. and there are many attacks to steal the certificate and private key. For these reasons, security experts recommend to store the certificate and private key on usb flash drive, security tokens, smartphone. but smartphones are easily infected malware, an attacker can steal certificate and private key by malicious code. If an attacker snatchs the certificate, the private key file, and the password for the private key password, he can always act as valid user. In this paper, we proposed a safe way to keep the private key on smartphone using smartphone's unique information and user password. If an attacker knows the user password, the certificate and the private key, he can not know the smart phone's unique information, so it is impossible to use the encrypted private key. Therefore smartphone user use IT service safely.

The world's widely used key exchange protocols are open cryptographic communication protocols, such as TLS/SSL, whereas in the financial field in Korea, key exchange protocols developed by industrial classification group have been used that are based on PKI(Public Key Infrastructure) which is suitable for the financial environments of Korea. However, the key exchange protocols are not only vulnerable to client impersonation attacks and known-key attacks, but also do not provide forward secrecy. Especially, an attacker with the private keys of the financial security server can easily get an old session-key that can decrypt the encrypted messages between the clients and the server. The exposure of the server's private keys by internal management problems, etc, results in a huge problem, such as exposure of a lot of private information and financial information of clients. In this paper, we analyze the weaknesses of the cryptographic communication protocols in use in Korea. We then propose two key exchange protocols which reduce the replacement cost of protocols and are also secure against client impersonation attacks and session-key and private key reveal attacks. The forward secrecy of the second protocol is reduced to the HDH(Hash Diffie-Hellman) problem.
