Roaming authentication protocol is widely used in wireless network which can enable a seamless service for the mobile users. However, the classical approach requires the home server's participation during the authentication between the mobile user and the foreign server. So the more the roaming requests are performed the heavier burden will be on the home server. In this paper, we propose a new roaming authentication framework for wireless communication without the home server's participation. The new roaming authentication protocol in the new framework takes advantage of the ID-based cryptography and provides user anonymity. It has good performance compared with the roaming authentication protocols whose authentication do not need the home server's participation in terms of security and computation costs. Moreover, a new User-to-User authentication protocol in the new framework is also present. All the authentications proposed in this paper can be regarded as a common construction and can be applied to various kinds of wireless networks such as Cellular Networks, Wireless Mesh Networks and Vehicle Networks.

In this Paper, we present a novel authentication and key exchange(AKE) protocol for inter-NSP(provider) roaming in IEEE 802.16e networks. The proposed protocol allows performing both user and device authentication jointly by using two different authentication credentials and Provides user anonymity and session key establishment. Also, this protocol requires only two round number message exchange between foreign network and home network.

Towards the deployment of 3rd generation systems, Virtual Home Environment (VHE), stemming from 3GPP, appears to be a powerful concept advocating the provision and delivery of personalized services to roaming users across network and terminal boundaries. This paper aims to expose the pathway for materializing the VHE concept, via the specification, implementation and evaluation of a prototype. Core aspects for realizing the concept such as the business and roaming models are presented, while a VHE enabling architecture utilizing key technologies (OSA/Parlay, MExE, and USAT) is introduced. The proposed architecture has already been evaluated by performing an initial trial demonstration. Currently it is being extended to support VHE service provision to roaming users, an aspect to be addressed by the final trial.

This paper proposes a fast authentication scheme based on hierarchical key structure (HiFA) for roaming mobile nodes in both intra-domain and inter-domain. The full authentication procedure standardized in IEEE 802.11 and 802.16 is difficult to be applied to a handover since it needs a heavy operation and long delay time during a handover. Though a number of schemes were proposed to solve the problem, the existing schemes might degrade the security of authentication or impose heavy administrative burden on the Pome authentication server. The main contribution of this paper is to reduce the communication and computation overhead of the home authentication sewer without degrading the security strength of the fast roaming authentication using hierarchical authentication key structure. The proposed scheme iii this paper decentralizes the administrative burden of the home authentication server to other network entities such as a local authentication server or access point and supports the security separation of the authentication key among local authentication servers using hash key chain.

‘키로밍(Key Roaming)’서비스는 임의의 단말기에서 인증서, 전자서명 둥의 사용자의 비밀정보를 네트워크를 통해서 접근할 수 있는 기능을 지원한다. 현재 은행의 뱅킹 시스템이나 그 밖의 인터넷 서비스에서는 비밀정보를 사용자의 컴퓨터에 저장해서 사용한다. 그러나 사용자가 그 비밀정보를 다른 컴퓨터에서 사용하고자 할 때에는 디스크나 스마트카드와 같은 보조기억장치에 저장해야 하는 불편함이 존재한다. 종래의 이러한 방식은 사용이 불편할 뿐만 아니라 공간과 비용치 부담이 크므로 키로밍 프로토콜에 대한 요구가 더욱 증대하였다. 키로밍 프로토콜은 공간과 비용의 절감이라는 효과가 있지만 해결해야 할 보안상의 문제가 존재하며 이 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제시되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 베리사인의 프로토콜과 한국정보 보호센타에서 제시한 다중서버를 이용하는 프로토콜에 대해서 살펴본 후 그 문제점을 지적하고 이를 해결 할 수 있는 새로운 프로토콜을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 현재 국내·외에서 개발되고 있고 이미 상용화가 되어 있는 PKI 기반인증 시스템에서 개인키의 로밍을 구현하고 특정 개인 컴퓨터에 개인키가 보관 되어있을 경우 발생할 수 있는 개인키의 불법 유출의 위험을 방지 할 수 있는 Roaming Key Management System의 개발 및 방안 연구를 목적으로 한다. RKMS 는 사용자의 인증서와 개인키를 개인 컴퓨터에 보관하지 않고 신뢰 할 수 있는 키서버에 저장함으로써 개인키 불법 유출을 막을 수 있고 개인키 로밍을 가능하게 한다. RKMS는 현재 발생되어 지고 앞으로 발생될 것으로 예상되어지는 인증서 및 개인키 해킹의 대안의 방법으로 사용되어 질 수 있다. 이를 이용하여 PKI 기반 인증 시스템의 향상된 안정성과 편리성을 구현하고 개인키 누출을 방지할 수 있다.

네트워크에 대한 접근성이 높아짐으로 인해 사용자는 자신의 클라이언트 터미널을 벗어나 다른 터미널에서의 네트워크 접속을 요구하는 사용자(Roaming User)가 증가하고 있다 이러한 사용자는 패스워드를 기반으로 하여 현재 위치하고 있는 서버와 새로운 비밀키를 생성할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 패스워드 기반의 프로토콜을 간략하게 살펴보고 이를 통하여 프로토콜의 구성 방법과 사전공격 등 여러 가지 일반적인 공격으로부터 안전한 프로토콜을 제안한다. 또한 본 제안 방식은 기존 패스워드를 이용하여 로밍 방식에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다.

The proliferation of wireless local area networks (WLANs) offering high data rate in hot spot area have spurred the demand for possible WLANs and third-generation (3G) cellular network integration solutions as the initiative step towards 4G systems. This paper provides a novel architecture for seamless location-aware integration of WLANs into 3G cellular networks and also an analysis for the efficient handover techniques. We introduce location as a key context in secure roaming mechanism for context-aware interworking in 4G systems. The fast secure roaming with location-aware authentication is implemented at an entity called location-aware service (LAS) broker that utilizes the concepts of direction of user and pre-warming zone. The location-ware interworking architecture supports seamless roaming services among heterogeneous wireless networks including WLANs, wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), and 3G cellular networks. This paper also includes a description of procedures needed to implement efficient mobility and location management. We show how the LAS broker with pre-warming and context transfer can obtain significant lower latency in the vertical handover.

Authentication for inter-NEMO rooming is on important issue for achieving the seamless mobile networking. In this proposal, the technical challenge lies in the fact that a visited network does not initially have the authentication credentials of a roaming mobile router. This paper proposes an efficient approach for providing AAA service in NEMO environment. This approach uses localized authentication based on the roaming agreement between ISPs. A public key certificate structure is proposed, tailored to the business model of wireless internet Service Providers (ISPs). In this approach, the mutual authentication between a visited network and a roaming user can be performed locally without any control with user's home network. In conclusion, our protocol shown that communication delay can be reduced by overuse 45% overhead in communication delay than the previous AAA approach.
