In accordance with the changes in the wireless communication environment, there has been a great need to satisfy the demand for diverse modes of information exchange. Various types of short-distance wireless communication technology have been developed and studied to meet this demand. Among them, Bluetooth which has recently been acclaimed as the standard for short-distance wireless communication, has been the focus of many such studies. However, Bluetooth has weaknesses in its suuity features when its in security services are applied to Home networks. The purpose of this study is to propose a safe Bluetooth scenario with an upgraded suity feature. This paper first reviews the general characteristics and security features of Bluetooth together with an analysis of its weaknesses, and presents the formation and maintenance process of Bluetooth piconet what is created by using ECDSA and group key in the ACL(Asynchronous Connection-less Link) connection through a safe Bluetooth inquiry process.

Secure communication has been one of the main challenges in vehicular ad hoc networks(VANET) since broadcast messages from nearby vehicles contain life-critical information for drivers and passengers. So far various secure communication schemes have been proposed to secure the communication in VANET, and they satisfy most security requirements. However most of them need to put trust on roadside units(RSUs), which are usually deployed in unattended area and vulnerable to compromise. In this paper, we propose a secure communication scheme, which does not need to put trust on RSUs. And we adopt a grouping technique to averagely divide the huge burden in the server without jeopardizing the anonymity of users. Moreover we design a complete set of protocols to satisfy common security requirements with a relatively lower hardware requirement. At last, we evaluate the scheme with respect to security requirements, communication overhead, storage overhead and network performance.

In order to support secure communication in VANET(Vehicular Ad hoc Network), messages exchanged between vehicles or between vehicle and infrastructure must be authenticated. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical anonymous authentication system for VANET. The proposed system model reduces the overhead of PKG, which is a problem of previous system, by generating private keys hierarchically, thereby enhancing practicality. We also propose a two-level hierarchical identity-based signature(TLHIBS) scheme without pairings so that improve efficiency. The proposed scheme protects the privacy of the vehicle by satisfying conditional privacy and supports batch verification so that efficiently verifies multiple signatures. Finally, The security of the proposed scheme is proved in the random oracle model by reducing the discrete logarithm problem(DLP) whereas the security proof of the previous ID-based signatures for VANET was incomplete.

Smart home based on Internet of things (IoT) is rapidly emerging as an exciting research and industry field. However, security and privacy have been critical issues due to the open feature of wireless communication channel. As a step towards this direction, Shuai et al. proposed an anonymous authentication scheme for smart home environment using Elliptic curve cryptosystem. They provided formal proof and heuristic analysis and argued that their scheme is secure against various attacks including de-synchronization attack, mobile device loss attack and so on, and provides user anonymity and untraceability. However, this paper shows that Shuai et al.'s scheme does not provide user anonymity nor untraceability, which are very important features for the contemporary IoT network environment.

Recently on tile network to ensure the anonymity of Mixed networking has been actively researched. It uses encrypted communications between Nodes and communications path is changed often to the attacker traceback and response, including the difficult thing is the reality. National institutions and infrastructure in these circumstances, the attack on the national level, if done on a large scale can be disastrous in. However, an anonymous network technology to cover up their own internet communication, it malicious form of Internet use by people who enjoy being continually updated and new forms of technology being developed is a situation continuously. In addition, attacks in the future application of these technologies is expected to continue to emerge. However, this reality does not deserve this thesis is prepared. In this paper, anonymously using a network to respond effectively to a cyber attack on the early detection research is to proceed.

The cases of identification forgery and counterfeiting are increasing under the current identification system, which was established based on social conditions and administrative environments over 20 years ago. This leads to an increase of various criminal acts including illegal loan using fake ID and a number of damages caused out of good intentions that result in interference with the operations of public organizations. In addition, according to the advancement of information society, privacy protection has emerged as an important issue. However, ID card exposes individuals' personal information, such as names, resident registration numbers, photos, addresses and fingerprints, and thus the incidents associated with illegal use of personal information are increasing continuously. Accordingly, this study aimed at examining the issues of ID card forgery/counterfeiting and privacy protection and at proposing a next-generation identification system to supplement such weaknesses. The top priority has been set as prevention of forgery/counterfeiting and privacy protection in order to ensure the most important function of national identification system, which is user identification.

As industrial information disclosure by insider's rate is around 80%, most of relevant researches explain briefly its causes are discontent of salary or human resources system. This paper scrapes texts on Jobplanet, an anonymous company review website and analyzes discontent keyword by 7 related area and their contexts to find out more details on brief causes referred above. After drawing LGG (Local Grammar Graph) by each areas with related dictionary list, this paper shows an example of concordance as a proof and several ways for human resources leakage prevention. Finally, text analysis results are compared with previous researches based on survey with limited questions and answers. This study is meaningful to expand the scope of employee discontent analysis with company review text and provide more specific, granular and honest discontent vocabularies.

The revelations made possible by Edward Snowden, a contractor of the US intelligence service NSA, are a sobering reminder that the Internet is not an 'anonymous' means of communication. In fact, the Internet has never been conceived with anonymity in mind. If anything, the Internet and networking technologies provide far more detailed and traceable information about where, when, with whom we communicate. The content of the communication can also be made available to third parties who obtain encryption keys or have the means of exploiting vulnerabilities (either by design or by oversight) of encryption software. Irrebuttable evidence has emerged that the US and the UK intelligence services have had an indiscriminate access to the meta-data of communications and, in some cases, the content of the communications in the name of security and protection of the public. The conventional means of judicial scrutiny of such an access turned out to be ineffectual. The most alarming attitude of the public and some politicians is "If you have nothing to hide, you need not be concerned." Where individuals have nothing to hide, intelligence services have no business in the first place to have a peek. If the public espouses the groundless assumption that State organs are benevolent "( they will have a look only to find out whether there are probable grounds to form a reasonable suspicion"), then the achievements of several hundred years of struggle to have the constitutional guarantees against invasion into privacy and liberty will quickly evaporate. This is an opportune moment to review some of the basic points about the protection of privacy and freedom of individuals. First, if one should hold a view that security can override liberty, one is most likely to lose both liberty and security. Civilized societies have developed the rule of law as the least damaging and most practicable arrangement to strike a balance between security and liberty. Whether we wish to give up the rule of law in the name of security requires a thorough scrutiny and an informed decision of the body politic. It is not a decision which can secretly be made in a closed chamber. Second, protection of privacy has always depended on human being's compliance with the rules rather than technical guarantees or robustness of technical means. It is easy to tear apart an envelope and have a look inside. It was, and still is, the normative prohibition (and our compliance) which provided us with protection of privacy. The same applies to electronic communications. With sufficient resources, surreptitiously undermining technical means of protecting privacy (such as encryption) is certainly 'possible'. But that does not mean that it is permissible. Third, although the Internet is clearly not an 'anonymous' means of communication, many users have a 'false sense of anonymity' which make them more vulnerable to prying eyes. More effort should be made to educate the general public about the technical nature of the Internet and encourage them to adopt user behaviour which is mindful of the possibilities of unwanted surveillance. Fourth, the US and the UK intelligence services have demonstrated that an international cooperation is possible and worked well in running the mechanism of massive surveillance and infiltration into data which travels globally. If that is possible, it should equally be possible to put in place a global mechanism of judicial scrutiny over a global attempt at surveillance.

As the fixed mobile communication tools using the internet are developed, the off-line services are serviced through on-line on the internet. our society is divided into the real world and the cyber world. In the cyber world, the authentication to the user is absolutely required. The authentication is divided into the real-name authentication and the anonymous authentication by the kind of the internet service provider. There are some ISPs needed the real-name authentication and there are others ISPs needed the anonymity authentication. The research about the anonymity authentication is steadily established to these days. In this paper, we analyze the problem about blind signature, group signature, ring signature, and traceable signature. And we propose a method of anonymity authentication using the public certificate. In the proposal, the anonymity certificate have the new structure and management. Certificate Authority issues several anonymity certificates to a user through the real-name authentication. Several anonymity certificates give non-linked and non-traceability to the attacker.

In digital contents distribution environments, a user authentication is an important security primitive to allow only authenticated user to use right services by checking the validity of membership. For example, in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) environments, it is required to provide an access control according to the policy of content provider. Remote user authentication and key agreement scheme is used to validate the contents accessibility of a user. We propose a novel user authentication scheme using smart cards providing a secure access to multimedia contents service. Each user is authenticated using a subset of attributes which are issued in the registration phase without revealing individual's identity. Our scheme provides the anonymous authentication and the various permissions according to the combination of attributes which are assigned to each user. In spite of more functionality, the result of performance analysis shows that the computation and communication cost is very low. Using this scheme, the security of contents distribution environments in the client-server model can be significantly improved.
