모바일 네트워크 환경은 언제 어디서나 네트워크를 사용하는 모바일 서비스를 편리하게 사용할 수 있도록 해준다. 그러나 언제 어디서나 서비스를 제공받을 수 있다는 것은 언제 어디서든지 정보가 누출되거나 왜곡될 위험성 또한 존재하기 마련이다. 특히, 프라이버시 문제가 해결되지 않고서는 우리 일상생활과 융합되어 편리함을 제공해주는 모바일 네트워크 환경이 오히려 모바일 네트워크 감시 체제를 구축하는 심각한 역기능을 초래하게 될 것이다. 모바일 단말기들은 크기와 모양이 다양하고 컴퓨팅 연산 능력이 적은 저성능 휴대 장치들이 많기 때문에, 컴퓨팅 연산이 많이 요구되는 공개키 암호 기술을 저성능 모바일 단말기에 적용하기는 힘든 상황이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 프라이버시 문제를 해결하면서, 컴퓨팅 연산 능력이 적은 저성능 모바일 단말기에 적용할 수 있는 자바 기반의 암호 모듈 및 PKI 기반의 사용자 인증을 제안하고자 한다. 국내 표준 암호 알고리즘(SEED, KCDSA, HAS160)과 인증서를 기반으로 세션키와 공개키를 조합함으로서 최소한의 암복호화 연산을 통해 인증 및 전자 서명을 제공하며, 이를 대표적인 모바일 단말기인 PDA 환경에서 세션키 분배 및 사용자 인증이 안전하게 이루어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we present an IND-CCA2 secure certificateless proxy re-encryption scheme in the random oracle model. A certificateless public key cryptography simplifies the certificate management in a traditional public key infrastructure and the built-in key escrow feature in an identity-based public key cryptography. Our scheme shares the merits of certificateless public key encryption cryptosystems and proxy re-encryption cryptosystems. Our certificateless proxy re-encryption scheme has several practical and useful properties - namely, multi-use, unidirectionality, non-interactivity, non-transitivity and so on. The security of our scheme bases on the standard bilinear Diffie-Hellman and the decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman assumptions.

The need for network protection, accounting and resource management in foreign administrative domain requires appropriate security services. In this paper, we propose an access control protocol to support the authentication between mobile node and visiting subnet. Our hybrid way of approach aims to reduce computational overhead and minimize the use of network bandwidth. We also propose non-certificate based public-key cryptography to provide non-repudiation, which does not require CRL retrieval and certificate validation.

Cloud Storage is the primary component of many businesses on cloud. Majority of the enterprises today are adopting a multicloud strategy to keep away from vendor lock-in and to optimize cost. Auditing schemes are used to ascertain the integrity of cloud data. Of these schemes, only the Provable Data Possession schemes (PDP) are resilient to key-exposure. These PDP schemes are devised using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI-) based cryptography, Identity-based cryptography, etc. PKI-based systems suffer from certificate-related communication/computational complexities. The Identity-based schemes deal with the exposure of only the auditing secret key (audit key). But with the exposure of both the audit key and the secret key used to update the audit key, the auditing process itself becomes a complete failure. So, an Identity-based PDP scheme with Parallel Key-Insulation is proposed for multiple cloud storage. It reduces the risk of exposure of both the audit key and the secret key used to update the audit key. It preserves the data privacy from the Third Party Auditor, secure against malicious Cloud Service Providers and facilitates batch auditing. The resilience to key-exposure is proved using the CDH assumption. Compared to the existing Identity-based multicloud schemes, it is efficient in integrity verification.

Leakage of secret keys may be the most devastating problem in public key cryptosystems because it means that all security guarantees are missing. The forward security mechanism allows users to update secret keys frequently without updating public keys. Meanwhile, it ensures that an attacker is unable to derive a user's secret keys for any past time, even if it compromises the user's current secret key. Therefore, it offers an effective cryptographic approach to address the private key leakage problem. As an extension of the forward security mechanism in certificate-based public key cryptography, forward-secure certificate-based signature (FS-CBS) has many appealing merits, such as no key escrow, no secure channel and implicit authentication. Until now, there is only one FS-CBS scheme that does not employ the random oracles. Unfortunately, our cryptanalysis indicates that the scheme is subject to the security vulnerability due to the existential forgery attack from the malicious CA. Our attack demonstrates that a CA can destroy its existential unforgeability by implanting trapdoors in system parameters without knowing the target user's secret key. Therefore, it is fair to say that to design a FS-CBS scheme secure against malicious CAs without lying random oracles is still an unsolved issue. To address this problem, we put forward an enhanced FS-CBS scheme without random oracles. Our FS-CBS scheme not only fixes the security weakness in the original scheme, but also significantly optimizes the scheme efficiency. In the standard model, we formally prove its security under the complexity assumption of the square computational Diffie-Hellman problem. In addition, the comparison with the original FS-CBS scheme shows that our scheme offers stronger security guarantee and enjoys better performance.

In big data age, flexible and affordable cloud storage service greatly enhances productivity for enterprises and individuals, but spontaneously has their outsourced data susceptible to integrity breaches. Provable Data Possession (PDP) as a critical technology, could enable data owners to efficiently verify cloud data integrity, without downloading entire copy. To address challenging integrity problem on multiple clouds for multiple owners, an identity-based batch PDP scheme was presented in ProvSec 2016, which attempted to eliminate public key certificate management issue and reduce computation overheads in a secure and batch method. In this paper, we firstly demonstrate this scheme is insecure so that any clouds who have outsourced data deleted or modified, could efficiently pass integrity verification, simply by utilizing two arbitrary block-tag pairs of one data owner. Specifically, malicious clouds are able to fabricate integrity proofs by 1) universally forging valid tags and 2) recovering data owners' private keys. Secondly, to enhance the security, we propose an improved scheme to withstand these attacks, and prove its security with CDH assumption under random oracle model. Finally, based on simulations and overheads analysis, our batch scheme demonstrates better efficiency compared to an identity based multi-cloud PDP with single owner effort.

With the feature of convenience and low cost, remote healthcare monitoring (RHM) has been extensively used in modern disease management to improve the quality of life. Due to the privacy of health data, it is of great importance to implement RHM based on a secure and dependable network. However, the network connectivity of existing RHM systems is unreliable in disaster area because of the unforeseeable damage to the communication infrastructure. To design a secure RHM system in disaster area, this paper presents a Secure VANET-Assisted Remote Healthcare Monitoring System (SVC) by utilizing the unique "store-carry-forward" transmission mode of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). To improve the network performance, the VANET in SVC is designed to be a two-level network consisting of two kinds of vehicles. Specially, an innovative two-level key management model by mixing certificate-based cryptography and ID-based cryptography is customized to manage the trust of vehicles. In addition, the strong privacy of the health information including context privacy is taken into account in our scheme by combining searchable public-key encryption and broadcast techniques. Finally, comprehensive security and performance analysis demonstrate the scheme is secure and efficient.

With the development of multiuser online meetings, more group-oriented technologies and applications for instance collaborative work are becoming increasingly important. Authenticated Group Key Agreement (AGKA) schemes provide a shared group key for users with after their identities are confirmed to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of group communications. On the basis of the Public Key Cryptography (PKC) system used, AGKA can be classified as Public Key Infrastructure-based, Identity-based, and Certificateless. Because the latter type can solve the certificate management overhead and the key escrow problems of the first two types, Certificateless-AGKA (CL-AGKA) protocols have become a popular area of research. However, most CL-AGKA protocols are vulnerable to Public Key Replacement Attacks (PKRA) due to the lack of public key authentication. In the present work, we present a CL-AGKA scheme that can resist PKRA in order to solve impersonation attacks caused by those attacks. Beyond security, improving scheme efficiency is another direction for AGKA research. To reduce the communication and computation cost, we present a scheme with only one round of information interaction and construct a CL-AGKA scheme replacing the bilinear pairing with elliptic curve cryptography. Therefore, our scheme has good applicability to communication environments with limited bandwidth and computing capabilities.

분산 네트워크 환경에서 커버로스는 시스템간의 신뢰를 바탕으로 대칭키를 사용하여 사용자를 인증한다. 그러나, 인증(authentication)과 함께 허가(authorization)는 보안의 필수적인 요소다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 커버로스에 프록시 권한 서버(proxy privilege server)를 두고 공개키/개인키를 적용하여 효율적이고 안전한 인증 및 허가 메커니즘을 설계하였다. 제안한 메커니즘에서는 사용자 인증을 위해 미리 정해진 long-term 키와 공개키를 통해 교환한 랜덤 수에 MAC 알고리즘을 적용하여 암호화에 사용하는 세션키 값을 매번 바꾸어주기 때문에 안전성을 높였다. 또한, 전체적인 인증 절차를 간소화하여 사용하는 키의 수를 줄였다. 프록시 권한 서버는 사용자의 권한 요구를 확인하고 권한 속성 인증서(privilege attribute certificate)를 발행한다. 권한 속성 인증서는 사용자의 권한 요구를 응용 서버에 전달하고 권한 위임에 사용된다. 제안한 메커니즘을 사용하여 기존의 커버로스에서 동작하는 효율적이고 안전한 인증 및 허가 알고리즘을 설계한다.
