Password-based authentication key exchange (PAKE) protocols in the literature typically assume a password that is shared between a client and a server. PAKE has been applied in various environments, especially in the “client-server” applications of remotely accessed systems, such as e-banking. With the rapid developments in modern communication environments, such as ad-hoc networks and ubiquitous computing, it is customary to construct a secure peer-to-peer channel, which is quite a different paradigm from existing paradigms. In such a peer-to-peer channel, it would be much more common for users to not share a password with others. In this paper, we consider password-based authentication key exchange in the three-party setting, where two users do not share a password between themselves but only with one server. The users make a session-key by using their different passwords with the help of the server. We propose an efficient password-based authentication key exchange protocol with different passwords that achieves forward secrecy in the standard model. The protocol requires parties to only memorize human-memorable passwords; all other information that is necessary to run the protocol is made public. The protocol is also light-weighted, i.e., it requires only three rounds and four modular exponentiations per user. In fact, this amount of computation and the number of rounds are comparable to the most efficient password-based authentication key exchange protocol in the random-oracle model. The dispensation of random oracles in the protocol does not require the security of any expensive signature schemes or zero-knowlegde proofs.

Due to the rapid progress in network technology, many research on content security technologies is also being conducted in the mobile digital content sector. In the meantime, content protection has been immersed in preventing illegal copying, certifying, and issuance/management certificates, but still have many vulnerabilities in managing or authenticating confidential information. This study aims to strengthen confidential information about content based on dual management of content download rights through mobile phone numbers or device numbers. It also protect replay-attack by building a secure mobile DRM system where digital content is safely distributed based on a three-stage user authentication process. In addition, blockchain-based content security enhancements were studied during the primary/secondary process for user authentication for the prevention of piracy and copyright protection. In addition, the client authentication process was further improved through three final stages of authorization in the use of illegal content, considering that legitimate users redistributed their content to third-party.

Authentication is one of the necessary elements in the network environment. Many researches have detected security vulnerabilities to the existing authentication mechanisms and suggested secure mutual authentication protocols by resolving these vulnerabilities. The representative ones of them are SPMA(Strong Pass Mutual Authentication) and I-SPMA(Improved Strong Password Mutual Authentication). However, these protocols cause a critical problem when the shared secret information is de-synchronized between the server and the client. This paper proposes a revised protocol to resolve the de-synchronization problem. Based on a security assessment on the proposed protocol, we consider the proposed protocol is safer than the previous ones and possible to effectively make a user authentication system mre secure.

Until now, various studies on anti-phishing have been conducted. The most typical anti-phishing method is a method of collecting URL information of a phishing site in advance and then detecting phishing by comparing the URL of the visited site with the previously stored information. However, this blacklist-based anti-phishing method can not detect new phishing sites. For this reason, various anti-phishing authentication protocols have been proposed. but these protocols require a public key and a private key. In this paper, we propose a password-based mutual authentication protocol that is safe for phishing attacks. In the proposed protocol, the mutual authentication between the client and the server is performed through the authentication message including the password information. The proposed protocol is safe to eavesdropping attack because the authentication message uses the hash value of the password, not the original password, And it is safe to replay attack because different messages are used every time of authentication. In addition, since mutual authentication is performed, it is safe for man-in-the-middle attack. Finally, the proposed protocol does not require a key issuance process for authentication.

Smartwork is future-oriented work-environment to bring swift business transaction and convenient for users. In domestic and foreign various countries, It's already prompting introduction of smartwork. Users process work to access frequently from the outside in smartwork that's a similar client/server environment to existing Cloud Computing environment. Necessary of user authentication is increasing to be solvable to security vulnerability because there is possibility that malware flows in and leaks company's confidential information by unauthorized users especially in smartwork environment. Therefore we propose User Authentication scheme based face recognition is applicable to smartwork environment to analyze established User Authentication scheme. environment.

In this paper, proposes Kerberos certification mechanism that improve certification service of PKINIT base that announce in IETF CAT Working Croup. Also proposed Authentication Mechanism for reusability of Ticket that after Ticket's Lifetime is ended, message exchange that Local Client receives Remote Server's service. Since my suggestion to regional services are not described in Kerberos, authentication between regions can be performed via PKINIT(Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication) presented by IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) CAT working group. The new protocol is better than the authentication mechanism proposed by IETF CAT Working group in terms of communication complexity and mechanism according to simplified Ticket issue processing.

In this paper, we propose a new Two-factor Authentication and Key Exchange(TAKE) protocol that can be applied to low-power PDAs in Public Wireless LAMs using two factor authentication and precomputation. This protocol provides mutual authentication session key establishment, identity privacy, and practical half forward-secrecy. The only computational complexity that the client must perform is one symmetric key encryption and five hash functions during the runtime of the protocol.

Ubiquitous computing environment has a lot of different things as for applying existing security technical. It needs authentication method which is different kinks of confidence level or which satisfies for privacy of user's position. Using range localizes appoint workstation or it uses assumption which is satify environment of client in Kerberos authentication method which is representation of existing authentication method but it needs new security mechanism because it is difficult to offer the condition in ubiquitous computing environment. This paper want to prove the result which is authentication method for user authentication and offering security which are using wireless certificate from experiment in ubiquitous environment. Then I propose method which is offering security and authentication in ubiquitous environment.

The current trend of the handover authentication delay time is gradually increased according to the interworking between 3G cellular network and WLANs. Therefore, authentication mechanism minimized in delay is required to perform the seamless handover and support the inter-subnet and inter-domain handover. In this paper, we propose a novel pre-authentication scheme based on the fast channel switching which directly performs the authentication with the next access point in advance. In addition, the proposed scheme is efficient in the inter-domain handover and can be easily implemented in current WLANs since it just modifies the client side of user. To analysis and evaluate our scheme, we compare the packet loss ratio and the delay time with the two standard 802.11 authentication schemes. The analytical results show that our scheme is approximate 10 times more effective than the standard schemes in packet loss and the delay time is minimized down to 0.16 msec.

ID is used as identifying information and password as user authentication for ID-based authentication. In order to have a secure user authentication, the password is generated as a hash value on the client and sent to the server, where it is compared with the stored information and authentication is performed. However, if even one character is incorrect, the different hash value is generated, authentication will be failed and cannot be performed and various functions cannot be applied to the password. In this study, we generate several hash value including imaginary number of entered password and transmit to server and perform authentcation. we propose a technique can grants the right differentially to give various rights to the user who have many rights by one account. This can defend shoulder surfing attack by imaginary password and provide convenience to users who have various rights by granting right based on password.
