We present an attack which forges a credential without the help of the credential issuer in the protocol designed by Nakazato, Wang and Yamamura at ASIAN 2007 The attack avoids using the credential issuer's private key by taking advantage of the property of bilinear pairing. Implication of this collusion attack by user and verifiers also discussed.

To improve maritime security and enhance international shipping commerce within US ports in addition to ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code), the TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) program is working on the maritime field from the October 15, 2008 in the United States. In this paper, the program is reviewed and investigated in terms of goal, benefit, solution, and related legislation so forth In addition, other maritime security programs including MMD (Merchant Mariner Document), FAST (Free and Secure Trade), SIDA (Security Identification Display Areas). and Air Cargo security program was analyzed and compared in order to obtain relationship and difference with the program in terms of enrollment frequency, list and method of security check, and profile of each program As a result of this paper, the program is mostly to improve maritime security, protect individual privacy, and enhance commerce rather than other programs.

Grid computing enables the fundamental computing shift from a localized resource computing model to a fully-distributed virtual organization with shared resources. In the grid computing environment, grid users usually get access rights by mapping their credential to local account. The mapped total account is temporally belongs to grid user. So, data on the secondary storage, which is produced by grid operation, can increase the load of system administration or can issue grid user's privacy. In this paper, we design a data management system for grid user to cover these problems. This system implements template account mechanism and manages local grid data.

디지털 전환 시대를 맞아 일상생활 대부분이 온라인으로 이동하면서 온라인상에서 자신을 나타내는 신뢰할 수 있는 신분증의 필요성이 커지게 되었다. 신원 확인 방법은 중앙 집중식 모델에서 현재는 자기주권신원 모델로 변화하는 과정에 있으며 사용되는 핵심 기술은 탈중앙 식별자 DID(Decentralized Identifier)이다. DID는 기존 신원 체계와 달리 개인의 데이터 소유권을 개인에게 돌려줘 데이터 주권을 지킬 수 있게 해줌으로써 개인의 정보 공유 범위를 결정하는 SSI(Self Sovereign Identity)를 실현하는 기술이다. DID를 이용하면 데이터의 무결성, 투명성을 보장하는 자격 증명(Verifiable Credential, Verifiable Presentation) 발급이 가능하며 이를 검증하는 데이터는 모두 블록체인에 올라가 있는 것이 특징이다. 본 논문에서는 실제 서비스와 유사한 시뮬레이션 환경을 구축하여 자격 증명의 사용자 프라이버시를 보호하는 방법인 BBS+서명 기법에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

In general, internet users need to remember several IDs and passwords when they use diverse web sites. From an effective management perspective, SSO system was suggested to reduce user inconvenience. Kerberos authentication, which uses centralized system management, is a typical example of a broker-based SSO authentication model. However, further research is required, because the existing Kerberos authentication system has security vulnerability problems of password and replay attacks. In SSO authentication systems, a major security vulnerability is the replay attack. When user credentials are seized by attackers, an authorized session can be obtained through a replay attack. In this paper, an improved SSO authentication model based on the broker-based model and a secure lightweight SSO mechanism against credential replay attack is proposed.

As the smartphone-based devices are diffused and developed rapidly, they provide the convenience to the users. The abovementioned sentence technologies are being used not only in the existing sensor and wireless network technology but also in the application services of the diverse fields application services such as smart appliance, smart car, smart health care, etc. and the new fusion paradigm from the industry is presented by undertaking the researches in diverse area by the enterprises and research institutions. However, the smart environment exposes its weaknesses in the mobile terminal area, existing wireless network and IT security area. In addition, due to new and variant ways of attack, not only the critical information are disclosed However also the financial damages occur. This paper proposed the protocol to perform the smartphone-based safe device monitoring and safe communication. The proposed protocol designed the management procedure of registration, identification, communication protocol and device update management protocol and the safety against the attack techniques such as the an-in-the-middle-attack, impersonation attack, credential threat, information leaks and privacy invasion was analyzed. It was observed that the proposed protocol showed the performance improved by approximately 52% in the communication process than the existing system.

Traitor tracing schemes deter traitors from sharing their private keys by tracing at least one of the subscribers who were implicated in the construction of a pirate decoder. In general, it is assumed that the system manager in the scheme generates and distributes the subscribers' private key. But if the system manager knows the subscribers' private keys, he cannot convince a third party of a certain subscriber's piracy. To solve this problem, the system manager should not know the whole parts of subscribers' private keys and this leads to researches of asymmetric schemes. Moreover for the purpose of enhancing subscribers' privacy, there were two proposals of introducing anonymity onto asymmetric traitor tracing schemes, but one of them turned out to be a failure. In this paper, we point out that the other proposal also has flaws. We consider how to introduce anonymity to traitor tracing schemes, as a result, we suggest a new framework which is practical. We also construct a scheme by using an anonymous credential system and an asymmetric traitor tracing scheme. We prove the security of our scheme and consider the typical applications.

This paper proposes a mutual identification and session key exchange scheme in secure vehicular communication based on the group signature. In VANETs, security requirements such as authentication, conditional privacy, non-repudiation, and confidentiality are required to satisfy various vehicular applications. However, existing VANET security methods based on the group signature do not support a mutual identification and session key exchange for data confidentiality. The proposed scheme allows only one credential to authenticate ephemeral Diffie-Hellman parameters generated every key exchange session. Our scheme provides a robust key exchange and reduces storage and communication overhead. The proposed scheme also satisfies security requirements for various application services in VANETs.

Personal information leakage is very harmful as it can lead to additional attacks using leaked information as well as privacy invasion, and it is primarily caused by hacking server databases of institutions that collect and store personal information. We propose a scheme that allows a service-requesting user to authorize a secure delegated transfer of his personal information to the service provider via a reliable authority and enables only the two parties of the service to retrieve the provided information stored on a blockchain ensuring data confidentiality. It thus eliminates the necessity of storing customer information in the service provider's own database. As a result, the service provider can serve customers without requiring membership registration or storing personal information in the database, so that information leakage through the server database can be completely blocked. In addition, the scheme is free from the risk of information leakage and subsequent attacks through smartphones because it does not require a user's smartphone to store any authentication credential or personal information of its owner.

In 2008, ETRI developed a new mobile digital ID wallet, in which anyone can store personal information and PKI credential. When the wallet is used, privacy protection is one of the most important problems and personal information should be protected under various usage scenarios such as exchanging sensitive information in on/off-line environments, joining as a new member in the web site, etc. In this paper, we propose a triangular trust management scheme that can effectively manage trustness and also protect sensitive personal information. This scheme relies on three techniques: PKI, reputation and condition (situation context). We implemented prototype of our scheme, and tested it under various scenarios, which showed that the proposed scheme can effectively be used for diverse cases.
