In this paper, we have proposed a secure dynamic ID allocation protocol using mutual authentication on the RFID tag. Currently, there are many security protocols focused on the low-price RFID tag. The conventional low-price tags have limitation of computing power and rewritability of memory. The proposed secure dynamic ID allocation protocol targets to the high-performance RFID tags which have more powerful performance than conventional low-price tag by allocating dynamic ID to RFID using mutual authentication based on symmetric encryption algorithm. This protocol can be used as a partial solution for ID tracing and forgery.

Because RFID systems use radio frequency, they have many security problems such as eavesdropping, location tracking, spoofing attack and replay attack. So, many mutual authentication protocols and cryptography methods for RFID systems have been proposed in order to solve security problems, but previous proposed protocols using AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) have fixed key problem and security problems. In this paper, we analyze security of proposed protocols and propose our protocol using OTP(One-Time Pad) and AES to solve security problems and to reduce hardware overhead and operation. Our protocol encrypts data transferred between RFID reader and tag, and accomplishes mutual authentication by one time random number to generate in RFID reader. In addition, this paper presents that our protocol has higher security and efficiency in computation volume and process than researched protocols and S.Oh's Protocol. Therefore, our protocol is secure against various attacks and suitable for lightweight RFID tag system.

Recently, many hash-based authentication protocols were presented to guarantee mutual authentication between tag and DB in RFID system. To be suitable for distributed DB environment, one generally uses fixed constant value as a tag ID. However, some existing protocols have security flaws or heavy computational loads in DB in order to search a tag ID. We propose a secure authentication protocol which is suitable for distributed DB environment by using unchangeable tag ID. The storage method of pre-synchronized information in DB at previous session is core idea of our proposal which gives low-cost ID search of DB at next session. In normal synchronization state, our protocol only requires 3 hash operations in tag and DB respectively.

As a core technology in the ubiquitous environment, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology takes an important role. RFID technology provides various information about objects or surrounding environment by attaching a small electronic tag on the object, thus, it means the remote control recognition technology. However, the problems which never happened before can be generated on the point of security and privacy due to the feature that RFID technology can recognize the object without any physical contact. In order to solve these problems, many studies for the RFID recognition technology are going on the progress. The currently running study is the secure communication channel between database and reader applying the recognition technology in the insecure communication channel between reader and tag. But, the purpose of this paper is to settle a privacy problem, which is insecurity of communication between database and reader channel by suggesting providing a user with authentication protocol in order to give information to an authorized entity.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a next generation technology that will replace barcode. RFID can identify an object by reading ID inside a RFID tag using radio frequency. However, because a RFID tag replies its unique ID to the request of any reader through wireless communication, it is vulnerable to attacks on security or privacy through wiretapping or an illegal reader's request. The RFID authentication protocol has been studied actively in order to solve security and privacy problems, and is used also in tag search. Recently, as the number of tags is increasing in RFTD systems and the cost of data collection is also rising, the importance of effective tag search is increasing. This study proposed an efficient search method that solved through ta9 group the problem of large volume of database computation in Miyako Ohkubo's hash chain mechanism, which meets requirements for security and privacy protection. When we searched first the group of tags with access rate of 5 or higher in a database with 100,000 records, search time decreased by around 30%.

RFID could be applied in the various fields such as distribution beside, circulation, traffic and environment on information communication outside. So this can speak as point of ubiquitous computing's next generation technology. However, it is discussed problem of RFID security recently, so we must prepare thoroughly about RFID security for secure information. In this paper, we proposed a method which could protect private information and ensure RFID's identification effectively storing face feature information on RFID tag. Our method which is improved linear discriminant analysis has reduced dimension of feature information which has large size of data. Therefore, we can sore face feature information in small memory field of RFID tag. Our propose d algorithm has shown 92% recognition rate in experimental results and can be applied to entrance control management system, digital identification card and others.

In this paper, we present a security tool which called Digital Legal Seal. The Digital Legal Seal scans a barcode on a paper and print it with the tag generated by Hash-based Message Authentication Code(HMAC) in text format on a display device. The result of HMAC can be used for user authentication or secure message transmission on both online and offline. We examine not only how the Digital Legal Seal can make up the weak points of security card and OTP (One Time Password), but also the possibility of reducing the forgery of promissory note on offline.

Firstly, this dissertation suggests the tag ID transfer method using two-dimensional arrangement. Secondly, provide better and stable security system compare to existing one by transferring tag; ID using established two-dimensional arrangement. Thirdly, provide operating module, which possible to descramble two-dimensional arrangement, with a character set when descrambling in a tag and a server. Lastly, suggest safe key transfer using a character set and two-dimensional arrangement. In order to embody suggested system and assess, transferred two-dimensional arrangement several times to carry out the experiment. Confirmed that it is impossible for suggested system to decode key patterns compare to existing RFID systems.

최근 보안에 대한 사회적인 관심이 높아지면서 RFID는 기존의 스마트카드와 바코드 시스템이 갖는 여러 기능적인 한계점들을 극복함으로써 향 후 이를 대체할 보안 신기술로서 인식되고 있다. 현재 사무실 출입의 보안을 위해 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 출입문 인증시스템은 일단 출입문을 통과한 사용자들에 대해서는 사무실 내부의 모든 요소들이 무방비 상태로 노출되어 보안상의 허점이 발생한다. 또한 사무실 내 개개의 PC에 단말기를 설치하여 사용하는 스마트카드 인증시스템 역시도 빈번한 자리 이동에 따른 카드 인증 절차의 번거로움으로 인해 근거리 이동시 PC를 잠그지 않는 경우가 빈번하게 발생함으로써 사용자 PC에 저장된 보안이 필요한 데이터들에 대한 침해 우려가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 다중사용자 환경에서 각각의 사용자가 소지한 RFID 태그를 이용하여 기존 카드시스템과 같이 복잡한 인증절차가 필요 없고 빈번한 자리 이동이 발생하더라도 추가적인 인증작업이 없이 매번 자동으로 컴퓨터 시스템을 잠금 및 해제시킴으로써 인증과정에 따른 사용자의 부담을 줄일 수 있는 보안시스템을 제시한다. 또한 사용자가 출근과 동시에 매일 일상적으로 반복되는 사무실에서의 컴퓨터 작업에 대한 효율을 높이기 위한 사무 자동화 시스템을 구현한다.
