RFID system is the contact-less recognition technology and use for distribution system, environment, transport, security and so on. However, it may create many security relevant problems such as privacy because constraints of RFID communication environment. So several methods of resolving these problems have been proposed. Recently, Shin and Park proposed an efficient RFID authentication protocol with protecting user's privacy using hash function and exclusive-OR.. But Ahn and Bu et al. poia problem that a attacker can to masquerade as malicious reader because their protocol can't providing mutual authentication.nted out weakness of Shin and Park's protocol and proposed more secure and efficient protocol. Unfortunately, Ahn and But's protocol has In this paper, We propose an improved RFID authentication protocol providing mutual authentication. The proposed protocol has advantages that providing mutual authentication between a tag and a reader, secure against replay attack and spoofing attack. Also, it guarantees anonymity of RFID tag and secure against location tracking attack by collusion of malicious readers.

With the development in IT technology and with growing demands of users, a ubiquitous environment is being made. Because of individuals identification is important in ubiquitous environment, RFID, a technology used frequently. RFID, a technology that radio frequency identification, reader send signer, then tag provide user information. RFID has various strengths, such as high recognition rates, quick recognition speed, but Eavesdropping is possible and problem that user information is revealed happens. To solve this, study is proceeded with activity, but, because of low-cost passive tag is limited operation capability, usually used hash function and random number. Also updates value that is used to present session and uses in next session. Therefore, this scheme protects user privacy using random number. And this sheme can offer synchronization by creating variable value without updating value.

Lee et al. recently proposed an RFID mutual authentication scheme based on synchronized secret information. However, we found that their protocol is vulnerable to a spoofing attack in which an adversary can impersonate a legal tag to the reader by sending a malicious random number. To remedy this vulnerability, we propose two RFID authentication protocols which are secure against all possible threats including backward and forward traceability. Furthermore, one of the two proposed protocols requires only three hash operations(but, $[m/2]{\cdot}2+3$ operations in resynchronization state, m is the number of tags) in the database to authenticate a tag, hence it is well suitable fur large scale RFID systems.

At the most recent, IPTV service is increasing, which isa communicative broadcasting fusion service that provides various multimedia contents interactively followed by user's request through super high-speed internet. For IPTV user service with high mobility, IPTV user's enrollment is essential. However, IPTV service provided to mobile users can't provide the certification of mobile user securely. This paper proposes light user certification protocol which can certificate mobile users by attaching RFID to IPTV STB for secure awareness of mobile users who get IPTV service. The proposed protocol prevent reply attack and man-in-the-middle attack from happening oftenin a wireless section by transmitting the result value hashed by hash function with both its' ID and random number received from tag after tag transmits random number which generated randomly in the process of certification of mobile user to IPTV STB.

Recently, there are many researches have been studying for analyzing user interests and emotions based on users profiles and diverse information from Social Network Services (SNSs) due to their popularities. However, most of traditional researches are focusing on their researches based on single resource such as text, image, hash tag, and more, in order to obtain what user emotions are. Hence, this paper propose a method for obtaining user emotional information by analyzing texts and images both from Instagram which is one of the well-known image based SNSs. In order to extract emotional information from given images, we firstly apply GRAB-CUT algorithm to retrieve objects from given images. These retrieved objects will be regenerated by their representative colors, and compared with emotional vocabulary table for extracting which vocabularies are the most appropriate for the given images. Afterward, we will extract emotional vocabularies from text information in the comments for the given images, based on frequencies of adjective words. Finally, we will measure WUP similarities between adjective words and emotional words which extracted from the previous step. We believe that it is possible to obtain more precise user emotional information if we analyzed images and texts both time.

Providing security has been always on priority in all areas of computing and communication, and for the systems that are low on computing power, implementing appropriate and efficient security mechanism has been a continuous challenge for the researchers. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is such an environment, which requires the design and implementation of efficient security mechanism. Earlier, the security protocols for RFID based on hash functions and symmetric key cryptography have been proposed. But, due to high strength and requirement of less key size in elliptic curve cryptography, the focus of researchers has been on designing efficient security protocol for RFID based on elliptic curves. In this paper, an efficient elliptic curve signcryption based security protocol for RFID has been proposed, which provides mutual authentication, confidentiality, non-repudiation, integrity, availability, forward security, anonymity, and scalability. Moreover, the proposed protocol successfully provides resistance from replay attack, impersonation attack, location tracking attack, de-synchronization attack, denial of service attack, man-in-the-middle attack, cloning attack, and key-compromise attack. Results have revealed that the proposed protocol is efficient than the other related protocols as it takes less computational time and storage cost, especially for the tag, making it ideal to be used for RFID systems.

The concept of u-Vehicle is a technological model that people try to build the ubiquitous world in the car which moves, by using the RFID technology as well as the telematics service based on the location. RFID is weak on the point of information security because RFID has possibility for being abused such as chasing, counterfeiting, and invading personal privacy. RFID's tags use a weak cryptographic algorithm. This paper presents the vulnerabilities of information security under u-Vehicle environments. To solve that, we propose a mechanism enhancing RFID tag's security but with low cost by reducing the number of mutual authentication stages and using the hash function.

The attacker can access the RFID systems illegally because authentication operation on the RFID systems are performed in wireless communication. Authentication methods based on the PUF were presented to defend attacks. Because of Hash and AES, the cost is expensive for the low-cost RFID tag. In this paper, the PUF-based encryption processor and the mutual authentication protocol are proposed for low-cost RFID authentication. The challenge-response pairs (PUF's input and output) are utilized as the authentication key and encrypted by the PUF's characteristics. The encryption method is changed each session and XOR operation with random number is utilized. Therefore, it is difficult for the attacker to analyze challenge-response pairs and attack the systems. In addition, the proposed method with PUF is strong against physical attacks. And the method protects the tag cloning attack by physical attacks because there is no authentication data in the tag. Proposed processor is implemented at low cost with small footprint and low power.
