IEEE 802.15.3 High Rate WPAN is a mechanism for wireless home network such as PDAs, digital video camcoder, etc. While symmetric keys are used for MAC layer security, the process of establishing a secure membership or a secure relationship is outside of the scope of the standard. In addition, to prepare for ubiquitous environment in the near future, it is important to study the process of establishing a secure relationship between DEVs in different dependent piconets. This paper propose a secure model and a process of establishing a secure relationship using PKI without a ousted certificate authority.

Sensor networks consist of many tiny sensor nodes that collaborate among themselves to collect, process, analyze, and disseminate data. In sensor networks, sensor nodes are typically powered by batteries, and have limited computing resources. Moreover, the redeployment of nodes by energy exhaustion or their movement makes network topology change dynamically. These features incur problems that do not appear in traditional, wired networks. Security in sensor networks is challenging problem due to the nature of wireless communication and the lack of resources. Several efforts are underway to provide security services in sensor networks, but most of them are preventive approaches based on cryptography. However, sensor nodes are extremely vulnerable to capture or key compromise. To ensure the security of the network, it is critical to develop suity mechanisms that can survive malicious attacks from "insiders" who have access to the keying materials or the full control of some nodes. In order to protect against insider attacks, it is necessary to understand how an insider can attack a sensor network. Several attacks have been discussed in the literature. However, insider attacks in general have not been thoroughly studied and verified. In this paper, we study the insider attacks against routing protocols in sensor networks using the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol. We identify the goals of attack, and then study how to achieve these goals by modifying of the routing messages. Finally, with the simulation we study how an attacker affects the sensor networks. After we understand the features of inside attacker, we propose a detect mechanism using hop count information.

The importance of sensor networks as a base of ubiquitous computing realization is being highlighted, and espicially the security is recognized as an important research isuue, because of their characteristics.Several efforts are underway to provide security services in sensor networks, but most of them are preventive approaches based on cryptography. However, sensor nodes are extremely vulnerable to capture or key compromise. To ensure the security of the network, it is critical to develop security Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that can survive malicious attacks from "insiders" who have access to keying materials or the full control of some nodes, taking their charateristics into consideration. In this perper, we design a distributed and adaptive IDS architecture on sensor networks, respecting both of energy efficiency and IDS efficiency. Utilizing a modified HEED algorithm, a clustering algorithm, distributed IDS nodes (dIDS) are selected according to node's residual energy and degree. Then the monitoring results of dIDSswith detection codes are transferred to dIDSs in next round, in order to perform consecutive and integrated IDS process and urgent report are sent through high priority messages. With the simulation we show that the superiorities of our architecture in the the efficiency, overhead, and detection capability view, in comparison with a recent existent research, adaptive IDS.

Since mechanical security systems are mostly composed of electronic, information and communication devices, they have effects in the aspects of overall social environment and crime-oriented environment. Also, the importance is increasing for wireless recognition of RFID and tracing function, which will be usefully utilized in controlling the incomings and outgoings of people/vehicles or allowance, surveillance and control. This is resulting from the increase in the care for the elderly according to the overall social environment, namely, the aging society, and the number of women entering, as well as the increase in the number of heinous crimes. The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical considerations on ubiquitous sensor network and present a direction for securities companies for their development by focusing on the technological and application areas. To present strategies of response to a new environment for security companies, First, a diversification strategy is needed for security companies. The survival of only high level of security companies in accordance with the principle of liberal market competition will bring forth qualitative growth and competitiveness of security market. Second, active promotion by security companies is needed. It is no exaggeration to say that we are living in the modern society in the sea of advertisements and propaganda. The promotional activities that emphasize the areas of activity or importance of security need to be actively carried out using the mass media to change the aware of people regarding security companies, and they need to come up with a plan to simultaneously carry out the promotional activities that emphasize the public aspect of security by well utilizing the recent trend that the activities of security agents are being used as a topic in movies or TV dramas. Third, technically complementary establishment of ubiquitous sensor network and electronic tag is needed. Since they are used in mobile electronic tag services such as U-Home and U-Health Care, they are used throughout our lives by forming electronic tag environment within safe ubiquitous sensor network based on the existing privacy guideline for the support of mobile electronic tag terminal commercialization, reduction in communication and information usage costs, continuous technical development and strengthening of privacy protection, and the system of cooperation of academic-industrial-research needs to be established among the academic world and private research institutes for these parts.

We can find easily about researches or technical development that deal with grasping the location of an object with GPS(Global Positioning System) in order to use them as a useful information. Most researches or technical development on application of tracing have been developed for the purpose of tracing objects in broad area as physical distribution or transportation, but recently, there are many researches on tracing materials in premise area as a fork lift, carts, or the equipment of work. In general, a system that utilizes location information of objects needs data communication network to transmit location data and it ensures data communication network by using common networks(SK, LG, KFT) or wireless LAN. However these two methods need monthly payment for the rental fee or require considerable amount of investment for the early stage so it is difficult to use them merely for tracing premise subjects. This study was conducted to build a tracing system for premise area by local area RF relay algorithm with low cost applying RF relay algorithm to local area wireless communication(ZIGBEE, 424MHz, Bluetooth, 900MHz) system in order to supplement these demerits and included relay algorithm, RF locating information terminal, local area RF gab-fillers, a plan for collection server of locating information, and the way of realization as they are needed in this system. I consider that this study would be applicable with flexibility in the industry area that needs tracing solution within a specific area or needs ensuring data communication network, to transmit data in ubiquitous environment, by easier and more rapid way with lower cost.
