Recently, researches on the shared authentication based on single sign-on have been actively performed so as to solve the problems of current service provider-centric and isolated Internet authentications, including low usability, high cost structure, and difficulty in privacy protection. In order for the shared authentication model, where the authentications of an authentication provider are shared by several Internet service providers, to be accepted in real Internet environment, trustworthiness among users, service providers, and authentication providers on the level of authentication assurance and the level of authentication information protection is necessarily required. This paper proposes a framework for trustworthy and privacy-protected shared authentication protocol based on the user-centric operation and open trust provider network. The proposed framework is differentiated from previous works in the points that it is able to provide interoperable shared authentication services on the basis of open trust infrastructure.

Identity authentication sharing technology which allows many service providers to share the result of identity authentication of an identity provider provides several important advantages including high usability achieved by avoiding repeated registration of identity information to service providers and single sign-on, cost effectiveness of service providers achieved by outsourcing identity authentication services from identity providers, and privacy protection achieved by exposing identity information only to a limited number of controlled identity providers. However, in order for the identity authentication sharing technologies to be widely deployed in global Internet scale, the trustworthiness issue among the participating identity providers, service providers, and users should be resolved in advance. This paper firstly analyzes existing trust frameworks for identity authentication sharing. And then, based on the result of analysis, this paper proposes a dynamic and open trust framework for identity authentication sharing.

본 논문에서는 Mobile IPv6 환경에서 보안성이 있는 인증 메커니즘을 제안한다. Internet draft에서 제안하고 있는 RR 방식의 BU 인증 메커니즘은 MN-CN, HA-CN간 두 경로 모두에 공격자가 접근하지 못한다는 전제로 인해 BU 인증을 위한 공유키 생성시 취약성을 내포하여 만약 공격자가 두 경로 모두에 접근 가능할 경우 노드간 통신하는 전 단계에 걸쳐 수동적, 능동적 공격에 노출되게 된다. 제안한 BU 인증 메커니즘은 최초 안전한 BU 인증을 위한 공유키를 생성 후 차후 이어지는 BU 인증은 이러한 안전성을 바탕으로 신속한 인증이 이루어지는 2단계의 인증 메커니즘을 제안함으로써 공유키의 노출을 최소화하여 보다 높은 수준의 보안을 제공하였다.

We propose a quantum secret sharing protocol which can authenticate more than half of members using GHZ state swapping. The Trusted Third Party, Trent can authenticate all members using previously shared ID among Trent distributing his message and the members wanting to reconstruct the message. Authenticated members can reconstruct a secret message through GHZ swapping. Moreover, this protocol is efficient to expand the number of members to arbitrary number n, so it is a close quantum secret sharing protocol to classical secret sharing protocol.

The connection between devices in Ad-hoc network a network based on trust. Because a temporary device frequently join or leave, the authentication and security technology should be prepared for malicious device of a third-party attacks. The authentication scheme with the existing certification and ID, and the security technology using symmetric key and the public key is used. Therefore, in this paper we proposed two devices not having shared information use to generate each other's authentication ID. The use of authentication ID can establish the mutual trust and, provide security and efficiency for communication uses to generate a symmetric key.

Message Authentication Code (MAC) assures integrity of messages. In Mobile WiMAX, 128-bit Cipher-based MAC (CMAC) is calculated for management messages but only the least significant half is actually used truncating the most significant 64 bits. Naming these unused most significant 64bits Shared Authentication Information (SAI), we suggest that SAI can be applied to protect the network from DDoS attack which exploits idle mode vulnerabilities. Since SAI is the unused half of CMAC, it is as secure as 64bits of CMAC and no additional calculations are needed to obtain it. Moreover, SAI doesn't have to be exchanged through air interface and shared only among MS, BS, and ASN Gateway. With these good properties, SAI can efficiently reduce the overheads of BS and ASN GW under the DDoS attack.

본 논문에서는 제안하는 AC(Attribute Certificate)를 이용하여 Web 상에서의 권한을 제어하는 방식은 기존의 아이디/패스워드 방식의 사용자 인증보다 좀더 안전하게 사용자에 대한 권한을 관리할 수 있다. 기존의 방식은 ACL(Access Control List)를 사용하여 권한 인증을 하기 때문에 서버의 자원을 낭비하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제한하는 방식은 Web상에서의 활동 시 AC를 이용하여 사용자를 인증하게 된다. 이러한 인증을 각 서비스 제공자 사이의 AC에 대한 양식을 공유하고 권한 정보를 공유함으로써 많은 서비스 제공자 사이의 DB 문제를 해결하고 제휴된 어느 서비스 제공자에게나 사용자가 자신의 AC를 제공하여 권한을 획득할 수 있다.

The previous studies focussed on the security problem and the fast re-authentication mechanism during handoffs in a single wireless LAN system. When the multiple wireless LAN systems share their network infrastructure one another, we propose an authentication mechanism allowing the subscriber to Perform the authentication procedure with the authentication server of its own wireless LAN system even in areas of other wireless LAN systems as well as in areas of its own wireless LAN system. In the proposed mechanism, the access point or the authentication server of other wireless LAN systems plays a role of the authentication agent between the subscriber and the authentication server of the subscriber's wireless LAN system. The proposed authentication mechanism is designed on the basis of the 802.1X and EAP-MD5 protocols.

This paper suggests a new security architecture for facilitating secure OSGi service platform environment. The security architecture includes 1) user authentication mechanism, 2) bundle authentication mechanism, 3) key sharing mechanism, and 4) authorization mechanism. The user authentication mechanism supplies SSO(single sign-on) functions which are useful for safe and easy user authentications. The bundle authentication mechanism utilizes both PKI-based and MAC-based digital signatures for efficiently authenticating service bundles. The key sharing mechanism, which is performed during bootstrapping phase of a service gateway, supplies a safe way for sharing secret keys that are required for authentication mechanisms. Finally, the authorization mechanism suggests distributed authorization among service providers and an operator by establishing their own security policies. The main contributions of the parer are twofold. First, we examine several security requirements of current OSGi specification when its security functions can be applied in real OSGi environments. Second, we describe the ways to resolve the problems by means of designing and implementing concrete security mechanisms.

OAuth 2.0 bearer token and JWT(JSON web token), current standard technologies for authentication and authorization, use the approach of sending fixed token repeatedly to server for authentication that they are subject to eavesdropping attack, thus they should be used in secure communication environment such as HTTPS. In OAuth 2.0 MAC token which was devised as an authentication scheme that can be used in non-secure communication environment, server issues shared secret key to authenticated client and the client uses it to compute MAC to prove the authenticity of request, but in this case server has to store and use the shared secret key to verify user's request. Therefore, it's hard to provide stateless authentication service. In this paper we present a randomized token authentication scheme which can provide stateless MAC token authentication without storing shared secret key in server side. To remove the use of HTTPS, we utilize secure communication using server certificate and simple signature-based login using client certificate together with the proposed randomized token authentication to achieve the fully stateless authentication service and we provide an implementation example.
