Sensor networks have a wide spectrum of military and civil applications, particularly with respect to security and secure keys for encryption and authentication. This thesis presents a new centralized approach which focuses on the group key distribution with revocation capability for Wireless Sensor Networks. We propose a new personal key share distribution. When utilized, this approach proves to be secure against k-number of illegitimate colluding nodes. In contrast to related approaches, our scheme can overcome the security shortcomings while keeping the small overhead requirements per node. It will be shown that our scheme is unconditionally secure and achieves both forward secrecy and backward secrecy. The analysis is demonstrated in terms of communication and storage overheads.

Designing efficient and secure electronic payment is important for M-Commerce. In this paper, we propose an efficient Micro-payment protocol that allows multiple transactions using ID-based public key encryption-system. The proposed payword system requires to generate authenticated key generated by Weil-pairing which uses an elliptic curve cryptosystem over finite field Fq for transactions. Therefore, it is more secure in known key attacks as well as man-in-the middle attacks.

This paper deals with cryptography by applying RSA and Petri nets. Firstly, we introduce RSA cryptography and a Petri net based private-key cryptography. Then we propose a new public-key cryptography, Petri Net based Public-Key Cryptography dented as PNPKC, by taking the advantages of these two proposed cryptographys and give an example to show how to apply PNPKC. Finally, we do the comparison between RSA cryptography and PNPKC on security as well as computation order. As the results, the security of PNPKC is as strong as RSA cryptography and further the encryption and decryption of PNPKC are in average 210 times as fast as RSA cryptography from our experimental data.

We propose a new auction protocol scheme that uses the publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) scheme. Unlike the existing scheme where a verifiable encryption scheme is employed when there is a dispute between a bidder and the auctioneer, the proposed scheme essentially removes the potential of a dispute. In addition, it has a robust registration phase and any entities participating in or observing the auction can verify the correctness of the auction process. The manager does not directly chooses the private key for the bidders, but only verifies the correctness between the private key and the public key, thereby improving the security, such as a bid submission of a malicious manager using the private key of a bidder.

In this paper we suggest a group key agreement protocol among a group consisting more than 3 PKIs. From an 128 bit message, we produce a group key to any length size using a hash function. With a computer experiment we found that PKI's encryption/decryption time is the most dominant part of this procedure and an 160 bit ECC PKI is the most efficient system for distributing an 128 bit message in practical level. We implement this procedure over an unsecure multi user chatting system which is an open software. And we also show that this suggestion could be practically used in military business without a hardware implementation.

Because ad hoc network is vulnerable to attacks such as routing disruption and resource consumption, it is in need of routing protocol security. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure route discovery protocol for ad hoc network using symmetric key cryptography. This protocol has small computation loads at each hop using symmetric key cryptography. In the Route Reply, encryption/decrytion are used to guard against active attackers disguising a hop on the network.

We propose a symmetric key based cryptography algorithm to encode and decode the text data with limited length using 3-dimensional magic square matrix. To encode the plain text message, input text will be translated into an index of the number stored in the key matrix. Then, Caesar's shift with pre-defined constant value is fabricated to finalize an encryption algorithm. In decode process, Caesar's shift is applied first, and the generated key matrix is used with 2D magic squares to replace the index numbers in ciphertext to restore an original text.

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.

This paper proposes a group key management protocol for a secure of all the multcast user in PIM-SM multicast group communication. Each subgroup manager gives a secure key to it's own transmitter and the transmitter compress the data with it's own secure key from the subgroup manager, Before the transmitter send the data to receiver, the transmitter prepares to encrypt a user's service by sending a encryption key to the receiver though the secure channel. after checking the user's validity through the secure channel, As the transmitter sending a data after then, the architecture is designed that the receiver will decode the received data with the transmitter's group key, Therefore, transmission time is shortened because there is no need to data translation by the group key on data sending and the data transmition is possible without new key distribution at path change to shortest path of the router characteristic.

Hummingbird is a lightweight encryption and message authentication primitive published in RISC'09 and WLC'10. In FSE'11, Markku-Juhani O.Saarinen presented a differential divide-and-conquer method which has complexity upper bounded by $2^{64}$ operations and requires processing of few megabytes of chosen messages under two related nonces (IVs). The improved version, Hummingbird-2, was presented in RFIDSec 2011. Based on the idea of differential collision, this paper discovers some weaknesses of the round function WD16. Combining with the simple key loading algorithm, a related-key chosen-IV attack which can recover the full secret key is proposed. Under 15 pairs of related keys, the 128 bit initial key can be recovered, requiring $2^{27}$ chosen IV and the computational complexity is $O(2^{27})$. In average, the attack needs several minutes to recover the full 128-bit secret key on a PC. The experimental result corroborates our attack. The result shows that the Hummingbird-2 cipher can't resist related key attack.
