Cloud storage is provided as a service in order to keep pace with the increasing use of digital information. It can be used to store data via networks and various devices and is easy to access. Unlike existing removable storage, many users can use cloud storage because it has no storage capacity limit and does not require a storage medium. Cloud storage reliability has become a topic of importance, as many users employ it for saving great volumes of data. For protection against unethical administrators and attackers, a variety of cryptography systems, such as searchable encryption and proxy re-encryption, are being applied to cloud storage systems. However, the existing searchable encryption technology is inconvenient to use in a cloud storage environment where users upload their data. This is because this data is shared with others, as necessary, and the users with whom the data is shared change frequently. In this paper, we propose a searchable re-encryption scheme in which a user can safely share data with others by generating a searchable encryption index and then re-encrypt it.

RFID could be applied in the various fields such as distribution beside, circulation, traffic and environment on information communication outside. So this can speak as point of ubiquitous computing's next generation technology. However, it is discussed problem of RFID security recently, so we must prepare thoroughly about RFID security for secure information. In this paper, we proposed a method which could protect private information and ensure RFID's identification effectively storing face feature information on RFID tag. Our method which is improved linear discriminant analysis has reduced dimension of feature information which has large size of data. Therefore, we can sore face feature information in small memory field of RFID tag. Our propose d algorithm has shown 92% recognition rate in experimental results and can be applied to entrance control management system, digital identification card and others.

An image obtained from a low light environment results in a low-exposure problem caused by non-ideal camera settings, i.e. aperture size and shutter speed. Of particular note, the multiple color-filter aperture (MCA) system inherently suffers from low-exposure problems and performance degradation in its image classification and registration processes due to its finite size of the apertures. In this context, this paper presents a novel method for the color enhancement of low-exposure images and its application to color shift model-based MCA system for image refocusing. Although various histogram equalization (HE) approaches have been proposed, they tend to distort the color information of the processed image due to the range limits of the histogram. The proposed color enhancement algorithm enhances the global brightness by analyzing the basic cause of the low-exposure phenomenon, and then compensates for the contrast degradation artifacts by using an adaptive histogram specification. We also apply the proposed algorithm to the preprocessing step of the refocusing technique in the MCA system to enhance the color image. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method can enhance the contrast of any low-exposure color image acquired by a conventional camera, and is suitable for commercial low-cost, high-quality imaging devices, such as consumer-grade camcorders, real-time 3D reconstruction systems, digital, and computational cameras.

Modern power system is operated and managed in closed network environment with treating a great variety of data, and requirement of real time power system data is more increasing. However, it is difficult for operators to fast evaluate the condition of power system using only isolation network system such as SCADA or EMS regarding unexpecting situations occurring. Recent technology achievement in areas of distributed computing, networking high speed communications and digital control as well as the availability of accurate GPS time source are rapidly becoming the enabling factors for the development of a new generation of real time power grid monitoring tools. In this paper, architecture of WAMAC which is the wide area monitoring and control system not only to control but also to monitoring in real time is proposed and the plan of integration interface with legacy system such as EMS for providing power system analysis base data effectively is suggested.

This work discusses and evaluates the use of wireless and multi-sensor based technologies to develop UbiqBIOPARC, a new generation zoological park that has been created based on the zoo-immersion concept. It offers appropriate contextual information to zoo visitors, depending on their preferences and the environment in which they are positioned. It combines the flexibility of the iPhone SDK, the connectivity provided by 3G technologies, the location capabilities of GPS, and the orientation offered by a digital compass integrated in the device. In this document the overall architecture and the implementation steps followed to create this context-aware application are presented. We compare our system with respect to previous ones and demonstrate that UbiqBIOPARC is an example of how innovative context-aware applications can be built with the aid of GPS and compass features. Several real experiments have been carried out in order to evaluate performance and system behavior, and numerical results demonstrate the practicality offered by our application, while providing a quite reasonable performance in terms of delay, usability, and energy efficiency.

The rapid increase of the number of channels makes it hard to find wanted programs from TV. In recent years, the number of channels come up to hundreds with the digital TV arrival. So, it will drive us to the new way of watching TV. In this paper, we introduce a recommendation system for TV programs to overcome this difficulty. We model user profiles and design each module of the system, considering TV environment. Our system gathers basic information from people manually and then updates user profiles automatically by tracking viewing and usage history. As a result, our system recommends daily TV programs based on the changing interest of users. In this paper, we address the problems and solutions by describing our system and the experiment.

The first 77 GHz transceiver that applies a heterodyne structure-based linear frequency modulation-frequency shift keying (LFM-FSK) front-end module (FEM) is presented. An LFM-FSK waveform generator is proposed for the transceiver design to avoid ghost target detection in a multi-target environment. This FEM consists of three parts: a frequency synthesizer, a 77 GHz up/down converter, and a baseband block. The purpose of the FEM is to make an appropriate beat frequency, which will be the key to solving problems in the digital signal processor (DSP). This paper mainly focuses on the most challenging tasks, including generating and conveying the correct transmission waveform in the 77 GHz frequency band to the DSP. A synthesizer test confirmed that the developed module for the signal generator of the LFM-FSK can produce an adequate transmission signal. Additionally, a loop back test confirmed that the output frequency of this module works well. This development will contribute to future progress in integrating a radar module for multi-target detection. By using the LFM-FSK waveform method, this radar transceiver is expected to provide multi-target detection, in contrast to the existing method.

As an agent is applied into various fields, it is suggested as the paradigm of new application technology in the area of computer communication. However, the mobile agent brines the problem of security on an agent due to mobility. This study proposals the mobile agent protection protocol framework for more effective protection and safety. The designed Framework of protocol uses the public ky, the private key and the digital signature in PKI environment based on JAVA. This is the mechanism accomplishing safely the work of an agent by tracking the pattern of execution and the mobility plan through the VS(verification server). This also secures the suity and the flawlessness of an agent through the VS guaranteeing safety from malicious attacks.

최근 에너지 하베스팅 기술이 발전하여 배터리 교체가 어려운 환경에서 동작하는 엣지 장치들에 많이 적용되고 있다. 하지만 해당 기술이 적용된 에너지 하베스팅 장치는 간헐적으로 동작하는 문제를 가진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 에너지 체커로 실시간 에너지 상태를 파악하고 에너지 상태에 따라 프로그램을 제어하는 JIT (Just-In-Time) 기반 모델이 많이 연구되고 있다. JIT 기반 모델에서 에너지 체커는 필수적이지만 상당한 에너지 오버헤드를 가지고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 본 논문에서는 에너지 체커의 에너지 오버헤드를 최소화하기 위해 저전력 에너지 체커 구현에 대한 실험을 진행했다. 내부 ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) 기반 에너지 체커, 내부 비교기 기반 에너지 체커, 그리고 외부 비교기 기반 에너지 체커 등 다양한 에너지 체커를 구현했고 각 에너지 체커에 대한 에너지 오버헤드를 측정 및 비교했다. 그 결과, 저전력 외부 비교기를 사용한 외부 비교기 기반 에너지 체커가 가장 작은 에너지 오버헤드를 가지는 것을 확인했다. 또한, ADC 의 측정 주기를 최적화하여 ADC 기반 에너지 체커의 에너지 오버헤드를 더욱 줄일 수 있는 가능성도 확인했다.
