The electronic transactions over the Internet are growing across the world recently. There have been a lot of identity theft incidents during these online transactions nowaday. Therefore, a high level of identity proofing shall be carried out when using online services to deal with these matter. To prevent this kind of incident, i-PIN was introduced in Korea, which is used as an Internet Personal Identification Number. The i-PIN is designated to provide an online identification of the Internet users. As such, the unique identification numbers are provided to the internet service providers. This paper is to analyze the capabilities that the i-PIN provides, to propose the assurance security model for i-PIN. Furthermore, the security analysis results are presented. The result of this paper can be applicable to improve the applicabilities of the i-PIN.

In this paper, we present an anonymous authentication and location assurance protocol for secure location-aware services over vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). In other to achieve our goal, we propose the notion of a location-aware signing key so as to strongly bind geographic location information to cryptographic function while providing conditional privacy preservation which is a desirable property for secure vehicular communications. Furthermore, the proposed protocol provides an efficient procedure based on hash chain technique for revocation checking to effectively alleviate communication and computational costs on vehicles in VANETs. Finally, we demonstrate comprehensive analysis to confirm the fulfillment of the security objectives, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed protocol.

Patch distribution is one of important processes to fix vulnerabilities of software and to ensure security of systems. Since an institute or a company has various operating systems or applications, it is not easy to update patches promptly. In this paper, we propose a secure patch distribution architecture with an authentication mechanism, a security assurance mechanism, a patch integrity assurance mechanism, and an automatic patch installation mechanism. We argue that the proposed architecture improve security of patch distribution processes within a domain.

Recently, the application of personal proofing service based on social security number(SSN) replacement means for verifying identity in non-face-to-face transactions is increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of applying differentiated personal proofing service on whether identity verification is necessary in the online service provided by ISP and if it is appropriate to apply a certain level of assurance. By analyzing the requirements related to personal proofing required by current ISPs, we analyze the risks for each of the requirements and propose a method of applying differentiated personal proofing service according to the level of identity assurance guarantee to minimize the risks. In applying the proposed method to online service provision, it is possible to reduce user's unnecessary authentication cost by minimizing the application of personal proofing service based on alternative means, and to help protect user personal information by minimizing excessively collected personal information.

With the increase in population, the number of such senior citizens is increasing day by day. These senior citizens have a variety of care needs, but there are not enough health workers to look after them. Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) aims at ensuring the safety and health quality of the older adults and extending the number of years the senior citizens can live independently in an environment of their own preference. AAL provides a system comprising of smart devices, medical sensors, wireless networks, computer and software applications for healthcare monitoring. AAL can be used for various purposes like preventing, curing, and improving wellness and health conditions of older adults. While information security and privacy are critical to providing assurance that users of AAL systems are protected, few studies take into account this feature. In this paper, we propose a secure and lightweight authentication scheme for the AAL systems. The proposed authentication scheme not only supports several important security requirements needed by the AAL systems, but can also withstand various types of attacks. Also, the security analysis results are presented to show the proposed authentication scheme is more secure and efficient rather than existing authentication schemes.

Secure routing services in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are essential, especially in mission critical fields such as the military and in medical applications. Additionally, they play a vital role in the current and future Internet of Things (IoT) services. Lightness and efficiency of a routing protocol are not the only requirements that guarantee success; security assurance also needs to be enforced. This paper proposes a Secure-Fuzzy Energy Aware Routing Protocol (S-FEAR) for WSNs. S-FEAR applies a security model to an existing energy efficient FEAR protocol. As part of this research, the S-FEAR protocol has been analyzed in terms of the communication and processing costs associated with building and applying this model, regardless of the security techniques used. Moreover, the Qualnet network simulator was used to implement both FEAR and S-FEAR after carefully selecting the following security techniques to achieve both authentication and data integrity: the Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC) and the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). The performance of both protocols was assessed in terms of complexity and energy consumption. The results reveal that achieving authentication and data integrity successfully excluded all attackers from the network topology regardless of the percentage of attackers. Consequently, the constructed topology is secure and thus, safe data transmission over the network is ensured. Simulation results show that using CBC-MAC for example, costs 0.00064% of network energy while ECDSA costs about 0.0091%. On the other hand, attacks cost the network about 4.7 times the cost of applying these techniques.

As developed wireless internet and performance of wireless terminal, E-commerce of wire internet move to wireless internet. This I-commerce in wireless internet environment called M-Commerce, recognized user authentication and data security as very important technology such as E-commerce in environment of wire internet. So authentication technology such as WPKI and Hermes system and XML digital signature was studied. But WPKI is difficulty to implement system, if authentication system that consisted in WPKI environment was heterogeneous. And Hermes system is not interoperate to XML digital signature system. So, our paper suggested XML digital signature system based java card to interoperate among the digital signature system, to apply XML digital signature used in wire internet. Our system offer XML digital signature in wireless internet, can interoperate among the XML digital signature systems.

Devising a secure authenticated key agreement (AKA) protocol for two entities communicating over an open network is a matter of current research. McCullagh et al. proposed a new two-party identity-based AKA protocol supporting both key escrow and key escrow-less property instantiated by either in a single domain or over two distinct domains. In this paper, we show that their protocol over two distinct domains suffers from masquerading attack and therefore does not satisfy the claimed security. The attack is made possible due to the lack of sufficient authentication of entity and integrity assurance in the protocol. We then propose an efficient verifiable key agreement protocol by including signature primitive in the authentication procedure to solve the problem of McCullagh et al.'s protocol.
