Recently, Biometrics is being magnified than ID or password about user authentication. However, unlike a PIN, password, and personal information there is no way to modify the exposure if it is exposed and used illegally. As FIDO(Fast IDentity Online) than existing server storing method, It stores a user's biometric information to the user device. And the user device authentication using the user's biometric information, the user equipment has been used a method to notify only the authentication result to the server FIDO. However, FIDO has no mutual authentication between the user device and the FIDO server. We use a Certificate Authority in order to mutually authenticate the user and the FIDO server. Thereby, we propose a more reliable method and compared this paper with existed methods about security analysis.

Roaming authentication protocol is widely used in wireless network which can enable a seamless service for the mobile users. However, the classical approach requires the home server's participation during the authentication between the mobile user and the foreign server. So the more the roaming requests are performed the heavier burden will be on the home server. In this paper, we propose a new roaming authentication framework for wireless communication without the home server's participation. The new roaming authentication protocol in the new framework takes advantage of the ID-based cryptography and provides user anonymity. It has good performance compared with the roaming authentication protocols whose authentication do not need the home server's participation in terms of security and computation costs. Moreover, a new User-to-User authentication protocol in the new framework is also present. All the authentications proposed in this paper can be regarded as a common construction and can be applied to various kinds of wireless networks such as Cellular Networks, Wireless Mesh Networks and Vehicle Networks.

AAA(Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) is the service that offers authentication, authorization, and accounting method, and every terminal that accesses the network requires this AAA service. The authentication process of a mobile terminal is as follows: a mobile phone accesses an authentication server in a home network via the authentication service in an external network, which receives the authentication result. And, for the home authentication server to offer secure service, a unique key is distributed for the secure communication between the external agent and the user, the external agent and the home authentication server, and the user and the home authentication server. This paper discusses and proposes the key distribution for secure communication among external authentication servers when a mobile terminal travels to an external network. As the proposed method does not require the home authentication server to reissue another authentication when a user travels to other external networks, it reduces the overload in the home authentication server. It can also distribute a PIN-driven key.

It is very important issues to protect many system resources using authorized client authentication in distributed client server systems. So it is not enough to prevent unauthorized opponents from attacking our systems that client authentication is performed using only the client's identifier and password. In this paper, we propose a secure authentication database modeling with two authentication keys such as a client authentication key and a server authentication key. The proposed authentication model can be used making high quality of computer security using two authentication keys during transaction processing. The two authentication keys are created by client and server, and are used in every request transaction without user's extra input. Using the proposed authentication keys, we can detect intrusion during authorized client's transaction processing because we can know intrusion immediately through comparing stored authentication keys in client server systems when hackers attack our network or computer systems.

Password-based authentication using smart card provides two factor authentications, namely a successful login requires the client to have a valid smart card and a correct password. While it provides stronger security guarantees than only password authentication, it could also fail if both authentication factors are compromised ((1) the user's smart card was stolen and (2) the user's password was exposed). In this case, there is no way to prevent the adversary from impersonating the user. Now, the new technology of biometrics is becoming a popular method for designing a more secure authentication scheme. In terms of physiological and behavior human characteristics, biometric information is used as a form of authentication factor. Biometric information, such as fingerprints, faces, voice, irises, hand geometry, and palmprints can be used to verify their identities. In this article, we review the biometric-based authentication scheme by Cheng et al. and provide a security analysis on the scheme. Our analysis shows that Cheng et al.'s scheme does not guarantee any kind of authentication, either server-to-user authentication or user-to-server authentication. The contribution of the current work is to demonstrate these by mounting two attacks, a server impersonation attack and a user impersonation attack, on Cheng et al.'s scheme. In addition, we propose the enhanced authentication scheme that eliminates the security vulnerabilities of Cheng et al.'s scheme.

In the paper, an algorithm fitted to P2P system was proposed by improving Kerberos which is an algorithm for mutual authentication. To keep the role of Kerberos and minimize load to server, the proposed algorithm imposed the server role of ticket recognition to the opposite peer. Using this method, the number of sewers as ticket recognition server was averted and function of server for authentication was minimized so that server load was mininized. The proposed algorithm enables the server to play the minimum of the role and to perform strong mutual authentication, while imposeing on the peers the role of authentication. To make suitable to P2P system, trial number oriented authentication limit was given, not time-oriented authentication expiration time. In the paper, a new P2P system was designed using this algorithm.

This research develops an algorithm using image synthesis for a server to authenticate users and implements it. The server creates cards with random dots for users and distribute them to users. The server also manages information of the cards distributed to users. When there is an authentication request from a user, the server creates a server card based on information of the user' s card in real time and send it to the user. Different server card is generated for each authentication. Thus, the server card plays a role of one-time password challenge. The user overlaps his/her card with the server card and read an image(eg. a number with four digits) made up from them and inputs the image to the system. This is the authentication process. Keeping security level high, this paper proposes a technique to generate the image clearly and implements it.

VoIP service uses packet network of ip-based because that has eavesdropping, interception, illegal user as vulnerable elements. In addition, PSTN of existing telephone network is subordinate line but VoIP service using the ip packet provide mobility. so The user authentication and VoIP user's account service using VoIP has emerged as a problem. To solve the vulnerability of SIP, when you use VoIP services with SIP, this paper has made it possible to authenticate user's terminal by using proxy server and proxy server by using authentication server. In conclusion, sender and receiver are mutually authenticated. In the mutual authentication process, the new session key is distributed after exchanging for the key between sender and receiver. It is proposed to minimize of service delay while the additional authentication. The new session key is able to authenticate about abnormal messages on the phone. This paper has made it possible to solve the vulnerability of existing SIP authentication by using mutual authentication between user and proxy server and suggest efficient VoIP service which simplify authentication procedures through key distribution after authentication.

In this paper we propose a one-time password mechanism that solves the problems of the S/KEY: the limitation of a usage and the need of storage for keys. because of using a cryptographic algorithm the proposed mechanism has no the limitation of a usage. Also because of producing the key for an authentication from a user's password it is easy to manage the authentication key and is possible to share the session key between a client and a server after the authentication process. In addition the proposed mechanism is easy to protect and manage the authentication information because of using a smart card and is adopted by the system that needs a noe-way authentication from a client to a server without the challenge of a server.

In this paper, we present an efficient authentication proxy for IEEE 802.1x systems based on the port-based access control mechanism. An IEEE 802.1x system consists of PC supplicants, a bridge with authentication client functions, and an authentication server. For the network security and user authentication purposes, a supplicant who wants to access Internet should be authorized to access the bridge port using the Extended Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LAN. The frame of EAP over LAN is then relayed to the authentication server by the bridge. After several transactions between the supplicant and the server via the bridge, the supplicant may be either authorized or not. Noting that the transactions between the relaying bridge and the server will be increased as the number of supplicants grows in public networks, we propose a scheme for reducing the transactions by employing an authentication proxy function at the bridge. The proxy is allowed to cache the supplicant's user ID and password during his first transaction with the server. For the next authentication procedure of the same supplicant, the proxy function of the bridge handles the authentication transactions using its cache on behalf of the authentication server. Since the main authentication server handles only the first authentication transaction of each supplicant, the processing load of the server can be reduced. Also, the authentication transaction delay experienced by a supplicant can be decreased compared with the conventional 802.1x system.
