In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication protocol based on certificateless signature scheme, which does not need anyinfrastructure to deal with certification of public keys, among the vehicles in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks. Moreover, due to the characteristicsof VANET nodes (i.e., vehicles) that is fast and movement, the proposed protocol introduces the concept of interval signing key to overcome efficiently the problem of certificate revocation in traditional Public Key Infrastructure(PKI).

Group key agreement protocols allow a group of users, communicating over a public network, to establish a shared secret key to achieve a cryptographic goal. Protocols based on certificateless public key cryptography (CL-PKC) are preferred since CL-PKC does not need certificates to guarantee the authenticity of public keys and does not suffer from key escrow of identity-based cryptography. Most previous certificateless group key agreement protocols deploy signature schemes to achieve authentication and do not have constant rounds. No security model has been presented for group key agreement protocols based on CL-PKC. This paper presents a security model for a certificateless group key agreement protocol and proposes a constant-round group key agreement protocol based on CL-PKC. The proposed protocol does not involve any signature scheme, which increases the efficiency of the protocol. It is formally proven that the proposed protocol provides strong AKE-security and tolerates up to $n$-2 malicious insiders for weak MA-security. The protocol also resists key control attack under a weak corruption model.

Certificateless public key cryptography is a technique that can solve the certificate management problem of a public key cryptosystem and clear the key escrow issue of ID-based cryptography using the public key in user ID. Although the studies were actively in progress, many existing schemes have been designed without taking into account the safety of the secret value with the decryption key exposure attacks. If previous secret values and decryption keys are exposed after replacing public key, a valid private key can be calculated by obtaining the partial private key corresponding to user's ID. In this paper, we propose a new security model which ensures the security against the key exposure attacks and show that several certificateless public key encryption schemes are insecure in the proposed security model. In addition, we design a certificateless public key encryption scheme to be secure in the proposed security model and prove it based on the DBDH(Decisional Bilinear Diffie-Hellman) assumption.

In this paper, we propose the secure key management framework to connect USN with different network. Although connected USN with different network has no CA (Certificate Authority), it is important to use public key based cryptography system because this network consists of numerous devices. The proposed mechanisms focus on device authentication and public/private key management without existing PKI system of IP network. To solve no CA and certificate problems, the IDC (Identity Based Cryptography) concept is adopted in our proposed mechanism. To verify the possibility of realization, we make an effort to implement the proposed mechanisms to real system. In the test bed, both USN and PLC network are connected to IP network; and proposed mechanisms are implemented to PLC and sensor devices. Through this test using the proposed mechanism, we met the similar performance with symmetric algorithms on key generation and update process. Also, we confirmed possibility of connection between different network and device authentication.

IP 네트워크(공중망)에 새로운 네트워크 기술들의 결합, 예를 들면 IP-USN, IP-Mesh, IP-PLC 등의 이종 네트워크가 생겨나면서 이러한 네트워크를 안전하게 관리하기 위한 보안 기술의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 기존 IP 네트워크가 가지는 다양하고 견고한 보안 기술들이 이종 네트워크에 그대로 사용될 수 없으면서 생겨나는 문제 중 PKI 기반 인프라를 적용할 수 없다는 것이 가장 현실적이고 중요한 문제로 여겨지고 있다. 이러한 문제로 인해, 새로운 네트워크 기술들은 주로 내부에서 사용하는 대칭키 방식의 암호화, 복호화만을 정의하고 있다. 공개키 방식을 사용할 수 없는 가장 큰 이유는 인증기관에서 발급되는 인증서 중심의 인프라를 사용할 수 없기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 이종 네트워크 환경에서 비인증서 기반의 공개키를 활용하는 보안키 관리 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 신원기반 공개키 개념을 도입하여 적용하였으며, 디바이스간 인증을 위한 인증 티켓 방식 및 보안키의 유효범위를 정하고 이를 활용하여 보다 안전한 네트워크 환경을 구축할 수 있는 방안들을 제시하였다.
