Image authentication algorithms have to discriminate forged contents in the various critical fields of military, medical services, digital documents. They must ensure perceptual invisibility and fragility against malicious attacks. It is desirable that watermarking algorithms support sufficient insertion capacity and blind feature. And, high reliable algorithms that can eliminate false-positive and false-negative errors are needed in the watermark extraction process. In this paper, we control coefficients of high frequency band in a DCT domain and compensate brightness histogram for high reliability. As a result, we found that the proposed algorithm guarantee various requirements such as perceptual invisibility with high PSNR values, fragility, high reliability and blind feature. In addition, experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can be used steganographic applications by sufficient capacity of watermark.

The existing electronic transaction protocol uses a cryptography algorithm that is not suitable for mobile environment because of limited memory and process ability. In this paper, we propose an efficient transaction protocol suitable for mobile embedded system. The proposed protocol reduces computation and process time by using ID-based cryptography algorithm and ECC (elliptic curve cryptosystem). It uses vendor authentication only in the first transaction, and from the second transaction, it requires transaction after authentication with session created by applying ECC technique. Therefore, the creation number of authentication for the vendor can be reduced from n to one. And it reduces process time because it provides the same security with 160 bits as with 1024 bits of RSA.

As the wireless communication technology developed, the Electric Commerce using a mobile was activated. WPKI was developed in order to guarantee the stability of the Electric Commerce but it is difficult to be ensured for the safe PKI service which is the same at the wire communication in the technical because of restriction of the mobile terminal. In this paper, we propose the authentication system for the electronic financial service which is safe and is effective in consideration of the restrictive characteristic of the mobile terminal. Moreover, the encryption algorithm for the safe electronic signature is proposed. In WPKI, this makes the cross certification of each certificate authority possible. Moreover, a stability was enhanced through the signature authentication using KCDSA and SEED algorithm.

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has good multi-resolution decomposition characteristic and its low frequency component contains the basic information of an image. Based on this, a fragile watermarking using the local binary pattern (LBP) and DWT is proposed for image authentication. In this method, the LBP pattern of low frequency wavelet coefficients is adopted as a feature watermark, and it is inserted into the least significant bit (LSB) of the maximum pixel value in each block of host image. To guarantee the safety of the proposed algorithm, the logistic map is applied to encrypt the watermark. In addition, the locations of the maximum pixel values are stored in advance, which will be used to extract watermark on the receiving side. Due to the use of DWT, the watermarked image generated by the proposed scheme has high visual quality. Compared with other state-of-the-art watermarking methods, experimental results manifest that the proposed algorithm not only has lower watermark payloads, but also achieves good performance in tamper identification and localization for various attacks.

The double-random phase encryption (DRPE) algorithm is a robust technique for image encryption, due to its high speed and encoding a primary image to stationary white noise. Recently it was reported that DRPE in the Fresnel domain can achieve a better avalanche effect than that in Fourier domain, which means DRPE in the Fresnel domain is much safer, to some extent. Consequently, a method based on DRPE in the Fresnel domain would be a good choice. In this paper we present an image-authentication method which uses only partial phase information from a double-random-phase-encrypted image in the Fresnel domain. In this method, only part of the phase information of an image encrypted with DRPE in the Fresnel domain needs to be kept, while other information like amplitude values can be eliminated. Then, with the correct phase keys (we do not consider wavelength and distance as keys here) and a nonlinear correlation algorithm, the encrypted image can be authenticated. Experimental results demonstrate that the encrypted images can be successfully authenticated with this partial phase plus nonlinear correlation technique.

Mobile Crowd Computing is one of the most efficient and effective way to collect the Electronic health records and they are very intelligent in processing them. Mobile Crowd Computing can handle, analyze and process the huge volumes of Electronic Health Records (EHR) from the high-performance Cloud Environment. Electronic Health Records are very sensitive, so they need to be secured, authenticated and processed efficiently. However, security, privacy and authentication of Electronic health records(EHR) and Patient health records(PHR) in the Mobile Crowd Computing Environment have become a critical issue that restricts many healthcare services from using Crowd Computing services .Our proposed Efficient Multi-layer Encryption Framework(MLEF) applies a set of multiple security Algorithms to provide access control over integrity, confidentiality, privacy and authentication with cost efficient to the Electronic health records(HER)and Patient health records(PHR). Our system provides the efficient way to create an environment that is capable of capturing, storing, searching, sharing, analyzing and authenticating electronic healthcare records efficiently to provide right intervention to the right patient at the right time in the Mobile Crowd Computing Environment.

Digital watermarks have recently been proposed for the purposes of copyright ptotechtion and autheutication for multimedia contents. A watermarking technique consists of an algorithm that incorporates a watermarking structure into an image in the spatial or frequency domains. In this paper we proposed a new watermarking method for authentication and integrity of digital images and the proposed algorithm uses the MD5 hash funiction and a symmetric key encryption algorithm. To decide the position of embedding watermark and the bit pasitionin the original image, the secret key is used as an input of the MD5 hash function. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantage of difficulty to find positions of inserted watermarks, and keep the similar watermarked image quabty with Wong's method.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are self-organized networks that do not rely in their operation on wired infrastructure. As in any networking technology, security is an essential element in MANET as well, for proliferation of this type of networks. But supporting secure communication in MANETs proved to be a significant challenge, mainly due to the fact that the set of nodes in the network can change frequently and rapidly and due to the lack of access to the wired infrastructure. In particular, the trust model and the authentication protocols, which were developed for wired and infrastructure-based networks, cannot be used in MANETs. In [1], we addressed the problem of efficient authentication of distributed mobile users in geographically large networks and proposed a new authentication scheme for this case of MANETs. The proposed scheme exploits randomized groups to efficiently share authentication information among nodes that together implement the function of a distributive Certification Authority(CA). In this paper, we analyze numerically the performance of authentication method using randomized groups and compare with the simulation result.

This paper presents a user-friendly authentication system using a flexible USIM. In the proposed method and its system, the flexible USIM utilizes personalized data such as Mobile Directory Number(MDN) and social security number as the key to user authentication. The authentication method proposed in this paper permits limited times of use and/or limited duration of use. A simple simulation model shows that the proposed algorithm works well and shows high compatibility with existing authentication methods. In addition, an alternative or more advanced authentication system can be developed with the proposed flexible USIM card. It is seen that this simple alternative method will eventually be able to make wireless communication networks more easily accessible for subscribers, irrespective of user environments.
