To develop the new network, the future network architecture is studied. Since the mobile devices are also advanced, they need for the mobility protocols. The one of the protocols, Fast handovers for proxy MIPv6(PFMIPv6) has studied by the Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF). Since PFMIPv6 adopts the entities and the concepts of fast handovers for MIPv6(FMIPv6) in proxy MIPv6(PMIPv6), it reduces the packet loss. Although the conventional scheme has proposed that it cooperated with an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) infrastructure for authentication of a mobile node in PFMIPv6, it has the drawbacks such as high signaling cost and long handover latency. To reduce the signaling cost and the handover latency, we propose an enhanced authentication scheme in Fast handover for Proxy MIPv6. The proposed scheme reduces the handover latency and the signaling cost because the registration procedure and the authentication procedure are simultaneously performed. We also compare the proposed scheme with the conventional scheme in terms of the signaling cost and the handover latency.

In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for seamless mobility management to provide users with seamless Internet connection when users roam between diverse wireless local area networks (WLANS) controlled by different management entities. There have been many researches in IETF, i.e., MIPv6, HMIPv6, and PMIPv6, to provide the mobility management. However, practically since wireless access points or access routers, which are managed by an individual manager or ISP managers, have different authentication scheme and the supported mobility management, the previous mobility management protocol developed by IETF can not guarantee the quality of service of application services as the mobile node performs the handover. To solve this drawback, we propose the mobility management scheme to provide QoS-guaranteed Internet services during the handover by configurating the wireless networks which is defined by users. More specifically, we present a model, the architecture and an algorithm for user-defined network (UDN) to provide the seamless Internet service. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the network simulation tool.

Message authentication is an essential security element in vehicular ad-hoc network(VANET). For a secure message authentication, integrity, availability, privacy preserving skill, and also efficiency in various environment should be provided. RAISE scheme has been proposed to provide efficient message authentication in the environment crowded with lots of vehicles and generally considered to be hard to provide efficiency. However, as the number of vehicles communicating in the area increases, the overhead is also incurred in proportion to the number of vehicles so that it still needs to be reduced, and the scheme is vulnerable to some attacks. In this paper, to make up for the vulnerabilities in dense vehicular communication network, we propose a more secure and efficient scheme using a process that RSU(Road Side Unit) transmits the messages of neighbor vehicles at once with Bloom Filter, and timestamp to protect against replay attack. Moreover, by adding a handover function to the scheme, we simplify the authentication process as omitting the unnecessary key-exchange process when a vehicle moves to other area. And we confirm the safety and efficiency of the scheme by simulating the false positive probability and calculating the traffic.

The IEEE 802.16-2004 standard has a security sub-layer in the MAC layer called, Privacy Key Management (PKM). However, several researches have been published to address the security vulnerabilities of IEEE 802.16-2004. After the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard, a new advanced and revised standard was released as the IEEE 802.16e-2005 amendment which is foundation of Mobile WiMAX network supporting handoffs and roaming capabilities. PKMv2 in Mobile WiMAX includes EAP authentication, AES-based authenticated encryption, and CMAC or HMAC message protection. However, Mobile WiMAX still has a problem of security architecture such as a disclosure of security context in network entry, a lack of secure communication in network domain, and a necessity of efficient handover supporting mutual authentication because Mobile WiMAX security has mainly concentrated on between SS and BS communication. Based on the investigation results, we propose a novel mobile WiMAX security architecture, called RObust and Secure MobilE WiMAX (ROSMEX), to prevent the new security vulnerabilities.

The integrated core network architecture and various mobile subscriber behavior can result in a significant increase of signaling load inside the evolved packet core network proposed by 3GPP in Release 8. Consequently, an authentication signaling analysis can provide insights into reducing the authentication signaling loads and latency, satisfying the quality-of-experience. In this paper, we evaluate the signaling loads in the EPS architecture via analytical modeling based on the renewal process theory. The renewal process theory works well, irrespective of a specific random process (i.e. Poisson). This paper considers various subscribers patterns in terms of call arrival rate, mobility, subscriber's preference and operational policy. Numerical results are illustrated to show the interactions between the parameters and the performance metrics. The sensitivity of vertical handover performance and the effects of heavy-tail process are also discussed.

광대역 무선 접속 표준을 관장하는 IEEE 802.16 워킹 그룹은 IEEE 802.16 표준을 2004년에 발표하였으며 이 IEEE 802.16 표준안에는 현재 WiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)라 불리는 고정 및 저속 이동 접속에 대한 광대역 무선 통신 지원 기술이 포함되어 있다. 특히 여러 기술 중 보안 관점에서 IEEE 802.16 표준은 MAC 계층 안에 PKM(Privacy Key Management)라고 불리는 Security Sub-layer를 가지고 있다. PKM은 PKMv1과 PKMv2로 구분되며, 먼저 PKMv1은 기본적인 인증 및 기밀성 기능을 제공하고 IEEE 802.16 표준에 기본적으로 적용되어있다. 하지만, IEEE 802.16 표준 이후 많은 연구들이 PKMv1의 보안성에 대하여 의문을 제기하였고 이에 따라 IEEE 802.16 표준안의 확장 개선안으로서 완전한 이동성을 바탕으로 하는 2005년 발표된 IEEE 802.16e 표준안에서는 향상된 보안 기능을 제공하는 PKMv2를 제공하며 기존 표준안의 부족한 점을 보완하기 위하여 시도하였다. 이러한 PKMv2는 EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol) 인증, AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) 기반 기밀성 제공 알고리즘, CMAC/HMAC(Cipher/Hashed Message Authentication Code)을 사용한 메시지 인증 기능 제공 등 보다 다양한 보안 기능을 제공하였다. 그러나 IEEE 802.16e 표준안의 보안 기능은 SS(Subscriber Station)과 BS(Base Station)간의 통신구간 보안에 초점을 맞추어서 네트워크 도메인간의 보안 문제나 핸드오버시 보안과 같은 네트워크 구조적 보안 취약성을 여전히 가지고 있다. 하지만 표준안에서 정의하고 있는 SS와 BS 구간 보안 역시 완전한 솔루션을 제시하고 있지는 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 취약성을 고찰하고 그에 따른 대응방안을 제시하였다.

With the rapidly changing era of the fourth industrial revolution, the utilization of IT technology is increasing. In addition, the demand for security authentication is increasing as shared services or IoT technologies are being developed as new business models. Security authentication is becoming increasingly important for all intelligent devices such as self-driving cars. However, most location-based security authentication technologies are being developed mainly with technologies that utilize server proximity or satellite location tracking, which limits the scope of their physical use. Location-based security authentication technology has recently been developed as a complementary replacement technology. In this study, we introduce location-based security authentication technology using cell broadcasting technology, which has a wider range of applications and is more convenient and business-friendly than existing location-based security authentication technologies. We also introduced application cases and business models related to this. In addition to the current status of technology development, we analyzed current changes in business models being employed. Based on our analysis results, this study draws the implication that technology diversification is necessary to improve the performance of innovative technologies. It is meaningful that it has found and studied advanced technologies other than existing location authentication methods and systems.

The mobility is one of the most important factor for mobile IPTV. However, mobility is highly vulnerable to eavesdropping and unauthorized access. Generally mobility of mobile services is based on handover techniques. But we showed that mobile IPTV must use other techniques to confirm mobility. In this paper, we analyzed security of wibro mobile IPTV from the viewpoint of mobility. We considered DCAS host must include new addresses of mobile devices. We analyzed total number of authentication for the proposed method. So we showed that proposed method was more efficient than wibro-mobile IPTV. We compared the security of our proposal to the security requirements of TTA.

In this paper, a secure and efficient binding update protocol as well as a handover protocol are proposed in the generalized hierarchical MIPv6 environment. Contrary to the conventional hierarchical MIPv6 environment where a foreign network is a small-scaled MAP domain, a large-scaled MAP domain consisting of several MAPs which are connected hierarchically is considered in the proposed protocol for the mechanism to support fast and secure mobility. It is also analyzed the security of the proposed protocol under the various attack scenarios.
