As computers and networks become popular, distributing information on the Internet is common in our daily life. Also, the explosion of the Internet, of wireless digital communication and data exchange on Internet has rapidly changed the way we connect with other people. But secure mail is gaining popularity abroad and domestically because of their nature of providing security. That is. It has been used a variety of fields such as general mail and e-mail for advertisement. But, As the data transmitted on network can be easily opened or forged with simple operations. Most of existing e-mail system don't have any security on the transmitted information. Thus, security mail system need to provide security including message encryption, content integrity, message origin authentication, and non-repudiation. In this paper, we design and implement secure mail system with secure key agreement algorithm, non-repudiation service, and encryption capability to provide services for certification of delivery and certification of content as well as the basic security services.

This paper studies the security module for the reliable transmission of the meter reading and the control data between the remote terminals and the upper server-side in smart water grid. The proposed security module was implemented to make it attachable to the remote terminal without security function. In particular, unlike the smart grid of electric field, the low power is considered due to the use of battery power in the smart water grid, and the ARIA-GCM-128 symmetric key method is adopted taking into the account that the damp and constrictive environments by the installed meter location in the underground occur a communication obstacle on building of the large-scale network system. The encryption module of this paper was devised to ensure the safety between the reading data on the terminal and the control data from the upper server, and secure the stability of the remote meter reading system by taking protection against an arbitrary alteration or modification.

Mobile Crowdsourcing (MCS) has become an emerging paradigm evolved from crowdsourcing by employing advanced features of mobile devices such as smartphones to perform more complicated, especially spatial tasks. One of the key procedures in MCS is to collect answers from mobile users (workers), which may face several security issues. First, authentication is required to ensure that answers are from authorized workers. In addition, MCS tasks are usually location-dependent, so the collected answers could disclose workers' location privacy, which may discourage workers to participate in the tasks. Finally, the overhead occurred by authentication and privacy protection should be minimized since mobile devices are resource-constrained. Considering all the above concerns, in this paper, we propose a lightweight and privacy-preserving answer collection scheme for MCS. In the proposed scheme, we achieve anonymous authentication based on traceable ring signature, which provides authentication, anonymity, as well as traceability by enabling malicious workers tracing. In order to balance user location privacy and data availability, we propose a new concept named current location privacy, which means the location of the worker cannot be disclosed to anyone until a specified time. Since the leakage of current location will seriously threaten workers' personal safety, causing such as absence or presence disclosure attacks, it is necessary to pay attention to the current location privacy of workers in MCS. We encrypt the collected answers based on timed-release encryption, ensuring the secure transmission and high availability of data, as well as preserving the current location privacy of workers. Finally, we analyze the security and performance of the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the computation costs of a worker depend on the number of ring signature members, which indicates the flexibility for a worker to choose an appropriate size of the group under considerations of privacy and efficiency.

The paper proposes the design of AES-based encryption chip for IoT security. ROM based S-Box implementation occurs a number of memory space and some delay problems for its access. In this approach, S-Box is designed by pipeline structure on composite field GF((22)2) to get faster calculation results. In addition, in order to achieve both higher throughput and less delay, shared S-Box are used in each round transformation and the key scheduling process. The proposed AES crypto-processor is described in Veilog-HDL, and Xilinx ISE 14.7 tool is used for logic synthesis by using Xilinx XC6VLX75T FPGA. In order to perform the verification of the crypto-processor, the timing simulator(ModelSim 10.3) is also used.

Most of the currently used electronic mail system has the threat of security such as illegal leak of message, forgery, uncertain identity, denial of sending and receiving, and so forth. The security for this system is not satisfied yet, thus we explore these problems. In this thesis, we implement the security services for internet mail system which cover the weakness for traditional mail system. This system provides not only security services which PEM and PGP provides (i.e message confidentiality, message integrity, originator authentication, non-repudiation of origin), but also message replay prevention. and non-denial of recipient using certification of contents. In addition, this system increases security of the digital signature by signing with signature block formatting on the creation of it. And it increases security of the digital enveloping by encrypting with encryption block formatting of message encryption key.

The evolution of internet have opened the world of IPTV. With internet protocol, IPTV broadcasts contents stream. The IP protocol doesn't provide secure service due to IP characteristics. So, it is important to provide both connect and secure service. Conditional Access System and/or Digital Right Management are being used to protect IPTV contents. However, there exist restrictions in the view of security. In this paper, we analyse existing security technologies for IPTV and propose a novel method to enforce security efficiently. In the proposed method, OTP is used for encryption/decryption contents and CAS controls key for encryption/decryption and the right of user. With this scheme, it reduces the load of the system and provides more security.

Messenger applications applied end-to-end encryption on their own to prevent message exposure to servers. Standardization of a group messaging protocol called Message Layer Security (MLS) with end-to-end encryption is being discussed for secure and efficient message communication. This paper performs safety checks based on the operation process and security requirements of MLS. Confidentiality to a middleman server, which is an essential security requirement in messenger communication, can be easily violated by a server administrator. We define a server administrator who is curious about the group's communication content as a curious admin and present an attack in which the admin obtains a group key from MLS. Reminds messenger application users that the server can view your communication content at any time. We discuss ways to authenticate between users without going through the server to prevent curious admin attacks.

Service environments through laptops, smart devices, and various IoT devices are developing very rapidly. Recent security measures in these Internet environments mainly consist of network application level solutions such as firewall(Intrusion Prevention Systems) and IDS (intrusion detection system). In addition, various security data have recently been used on-site, and issues regarding the management and destruction of such security data have been raised. Products such as DRM(Digital Rights Management) and DLP(Data Loss Prevention) are being used to manage these security data. However despite these security measures, data security measures taken out to be used in the field are operated to the extent that the data is encrypted, delivered, and stored in many environments, and measures for encryption key management or data destruction are insufficient. Based on these issues we aim to propose a SecureOS Module, an OS-based security module. With this module users can manage and operate security data through a consistent interface, addressing the problems mentioned above.

This paper deals with security issues in a mobile agent system, especially protecting agent data from malicious agent servers. For this purpose, one-time key generation system, OKGS in short, is proposed. In OKGS, we integrate notions of a one-way hash function and a coupler. One-way function plays a major role in ensuring confidentiality and integrity of agent data. And the notion of a coupler is used to establish inter-relationship among consecutive encryption keys for agent data, i.e. all agent keys form a unidirectional chain. With these two features of OKGS, therefore, only the agent owner, who creates the agent bearing data, can decrypt and protect all the agent data which are gathered in the itinerary.

OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) server which checks the certificate status provides the real time status verification in the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) system which is the essential system of certificate. However, OCSP server need the message authentication with the server and client, so it has some shortcomings that has slow response time for the demands of many clients concurrently and has complexity of the mathematical process in the public encryption system. In this research, simulation model of the certificate status vertification server is constructed of the DEVS (Discrete EVent system Specification) formalism. This sever model is constructed to practice the authentication with hash function when certificate is checked. Simulation results shows the results of increase of the certificate status verification speed and decrease of the response time to the client.
