Recently, research has been actively conducted to utilize blockchain technology in various fields. In particular, blockchain-based smart contracts are applied to various automation systems that require reliability as they have the characteristics of recording data in a distributed ledger environment to verify the integrity and validity of data. However, blockchain does not provide data access control and information security because data is shared among network participants. In this paper, we propose a user dynamic access control mechanism utilizing smart contracts in blockchain environments. The proposed mechanism identifies the user's contextual information when accessing data, allocating the user's role and dynamically controlling the data access range. This can increase the security of the system and the efficiency of data management by granting data access dynamically at the time of user authentication, rather than providing the same services in roles assigned to each user group of the network system. The proposed mechanism is expected to provide flexible authentication capabilities through dynamic data access control by users to enhance the security of data stored within blockchain networks.

Smart Grid is the next-generation intelligent power grid that maximizes energy efficiency with the convergence of IT technologies and the existing power grid. It enables consumers to check power rates in real time for active power consumption. It also enables suppliers to measure their expected power generation load, which stabilizes the operation of the power system. However, there are high possibility that various kinds of security threats such as data exposure, data theft, and privacy invasion may occur in interactive communication with intelligent devices. Therefore, to establish a secure environment for responding to such security threat with the smart grid, the key management technique, which is the core of the development of a security mechanism, is required. Using a hash chain, this paper suggests a group key management mechanism that is efficiently applicable to the smart grid environment with its hierarchical structure, and analyzes the security and efficiency of the suggested group key management mechanism.

Security threats to information services are increasingly being developed, and the frequency and damage caused by security threats are also increasing. In particular, security threats occurring inside the organization are increasing significantly, and the size of the damage is also large. A zero trust model has been proposed as a way to improve such a security environment. In the zero trust model, a subject who has access to information resources is regarded as a malicious attacker. Subjects can access information resources after verification through identification and authentication processes. However, the initially proposed zero trust model basically focuses on the network and does not consider the security environment for systems or data. In this study, we proposed a zero trust-based access control mechanism that extends the existing zero trust model to the file system. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the proposed file access control mechanism can be applied to implement the zero trust model.

In a wireless LAN environment, security is the most important. Security of 802.11 standard has many vulnerabilities of the network attack. IEEE has created mechanisms to security for this vulnerability. But the vulnerabilities is characteristic of broadcast in the air in wireless LAN, it is more disclosure then other network environments. In a wireless LAN environment, it can be accessed to the wireless LAN after authentication. Authentication process is one of most important because of the first security step. However, in the authentication process is not mentioned in the method of reducing the disclosure maximum fundamental. Therefore, in this research, the vulnerability of 802.11 are presented and how to do de-authentication in 802.11.

Both security enhancement in wireless and fast access for mobility are required to employ wireless LAN in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). However, for the case of employing IEEE 802.11i security standard, it is known that the user authentication procedure of IEEE 802.1x and 4-way handshake procedure for stronger security enforcement may not be suitable for ITS due to its large delay. In this paper, we propose fast authentication method to resolve the above authentication delay problem, and verify its performance via simulation analysis.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is an important part of infrastructures in ubiquitous computing. Although all products using tags is a target of these services, these products also are a target of attacking on user privacy and services using authentication problem between user and merchant, unfortunately. Presently, it is very important about security mechanism of RFID system and in this paper, we analyze the security protocol among many kinds of mechanisms to solve privacy and authentication problem using formal verification and propose a modified novel protocol. In addition, the possibility of practical implementation for proposed protocol will be discussed.

IP VPN의 사용은 현재 보편화 되었고 네트워크 장비의 통합 추세에 따라 IP VPN과 방화벽 통합제품의 생산이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 통합 보안 제품은 비용 효율성과 관리의 편리성, 확장성, 유연성과 같은 장점을 제공하지만 높은 성능 지원을 요구한다. 방화벽의 성능 인자의 하나로서 정책의 개수는 그 수에 비례하여 검색 시간이 지연되는 문제를 발생시키고, 이러한 성능 저하 문제는 VPN과 통합 시 더욱 가중된다. 더욱이 차세대 네트워크인 IPv6로 환경에서는 IP의 비트수가 증가하여 검색 성능 문제 해결이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 통합 제품의 검색 성능 문제에 관한 해결 방안으로 IPv6 주소의 특성을 사용한 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제시한 메커니즘은 보안 정책 테이블의 주소 필드를 IPv6 주소에 포함된 인터페이스 식별자로 대체하여 보안 정책 테이블의 검색 속도를 향상시키는 방법이다. 이 방법은 차세대 네트워크 환경에서 주목 되고 있는 보안 및 성능 문제에 대해 큰 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN technology is essential for wireless internet, next generation converged network and home network. But, it is certain that user's privacy must be provided to expand the applicable area in IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Recently, WEP and 802.11i security scheme can be used in MAC Layer. But with VPN technology which is applied to WLAN user, it means that suity mechanism is used redundantly. One bit authentication mechanism was already proposed to solve this redundancy. In this paper, we analyze problems of 1-bit Authentication mechanism which are failure of synchronization and waste of packet. And we propose new algorithm which synchronizes sender with receiver, at once, using duplicated-packet-count information. We show that our algorithm improves success probability of packet authentication up to $98\%$ and efficiency of authentication bit stream up to $97\%$.
