The use of Internet of Things(IoT) in smart cities and smart homes is essential. The security of the sensor nodes, which are the core of the IoT, is weak and hacking attacks are severe enough to have a fatal impact on real life. This research is conducted to improve the security of the Internet of Things by developing a lightweight secure communication protocol for the Internet of Things, and to build a safe Internet of Things environment suitable for the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. It contributes to building a safe and convenient smart city and smart home by proposing key management and identifier development to increase the confidentiality of communication and the establishment of an Internet authentication system.

A low-power Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system is an auto-identification technology that reads and writes an information of things without physical contacts using radio frequency. It is unescapable against unlawful modification, eavesdropping, tracking, or privacy of individuals because RFID systems use the radio frequency and RFID tags. Therefore we create a key using hash chain between database and tag and this process can prevent above attacks. Also we support the efficiency of proposed protocol using hash function to abate computation.

One of the fastest-growing mobile services accessible today is mobile payments. For the safety of this service, the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is used. However, NFC standard protocol has prioritized transmission rate over authentication feature due to the proximity of communicated devices. Unfortunately, an adversary can exploit this vulnerability with an antenna that can eavesdrop or alter the exchanged messages between NFC-enabled devices. Many researchers have proposed authentication methods for NFC connections to mitigate this challenge. However, the security and privacy of payment transactions remain insufficient. We offer a privacy-preserving, anonymity-based, safe, and efficient authentication protocol to protect users from tracking and replay attacks to guarantee secure transactions. To improve transaction security and, more importantly, to make our protocol lightweight while ensuring privacy, the proposed protocol employs a secure offline session key generation mechanism. Formal security verification is performed to assess the proposed protocol's security strength. When comparing the performance of current protocols, the suggested protocol outperforms the others.

공공 부문이나 대기업에서 운영하는 웹 사이트의 규모가 커지면서 분야별로 사이트가 나누어지게 되는데, 사이트를 이동할 때 마다 로그인을 다시 해야 하는 불편이 있다. 따라서 최근 이용자들의 불편을 줄이기 위하여 SSO (Single Sing-On) 통합인증 체제를 도입하는 사례가 늘고 있다. 통합 인증 시스템을 구축하면서 다수 웹 사이트의 회원을 통합하고 이에 대한 회원 정보 DB를 구축하여야 하는데, 빠른 인증서비스를 위해서 LDAP(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)를 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 이때 회원정보 DB와 LDAP의 정보에 대한 동기화 문제와 웹 사이트를 통한 회원가입과 동시에 적용되어야 하는 요구사항을 만족시키기 위해 본 논문에서는 회원 정보 DB와 LDAP의 정보 사이의 동기화 방법을 제안하고 구현하여 그 성능을 분석하였다.

In this paper, we propose a security framework for a cluster drones network using the MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) application protocol based on FANET (Flying Ad-hoc Network), which is composed of ad-hoc networks with multiple drones for IoT services such as remote sensing or disaster monitoring. Here, the drones belonging to the cluster construct a FANET network acting as WTRP (Wireless Token Ring Protocol) MAC protocol. Under this network environment, we propose an efficient algorithm applying the Lightweight Encryption Algorithm (LEA) to the CTR (Counter) operation mode of WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access 2) to encrypt the transmitted data through the MAVLink application. And we study how to apply LEA based on CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) operation mode used in WPA2 for message security tag generation. In addition, a modified Diffie-Hellman key exchange method is approached to generate a new key used for encryption and security tag generation. The proposed method and similar methods are compared and analyzed in terms of efficiency.

This paper proposes an X-MAC/BEB protocol that runs a binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm on top of an X-MAC protocol to save more energy by reducing collision, especially in densely populated wireless sensor networks (WSNs). X-MAC, a lightweight asynchronous duty cycle medium access control (MAC) protocol, was introduced for spending less energy than its predecessor, B-MAC. One of X-MAC 's conspicuous technique is a mechanism to allow senders to promptly send their data when their receivers wake up. X-MAC, however, has no mechanism to deal with sudden traffic fluctuations that often occur whenever closely located nodes simultaneously diffuse their sense data. To precisely evaluate the impact of the BEB algorithm on X-MAC, this paper builds an analytical model of X-MAC/BEB that integrates the BEB model with the X-MAC model. The analytical and simulation results confirmed that X-MAC/BEB outperformed X-MAC in terms of throughput, delay, and energy consumption, especially in congested WSNs.

In this paper, we analyze and compare the performance of different publish and subscribe protocols in the real application environment. This paper provides a horizontal comparison of current publish/subscribe protocols in terms of security, throughput, and delay performance. Thanks to the use of lightweight frameworks, the MQTT protocol has demonstrated excellent performance in terms of delay performance. However, the AMQP protocol has more advantages in security and throughput. Although the REST/HTTP protocol has the worst delay performance, it is excellent in terms of compatibility because it is based on the HTTP protocol.

MicroSoft Windows 10 IoT version, released in August 2015, successfully drew consumer interest by introducing the familiar Windows into the IoT market, and enabled an easier system construction of IoT web servers. Meanwhile, overdiagnosis has recently emerged as a controversy in medical society. Establishment of communication between IoT servers and medical devices will send treatment results to users and activate communication between hospitals, greatly reducing this problem. The IoT server, with its limited resources, utilizes lightweight protocols that do not generate traffic and are easy to use. This paper proposes IoT networks which will enable medical devices to easily provide ubiquitous environments to their users, through utilization of the lightweight Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) and the secure Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP).

The wireless sensor network consists of a number of sensor nodes which have physical constraints. Each sensor node senses surrounding environments and sends the sensed information to Sink. In order to alleviate the inherent vulnerability in security of the wireless sensor nodes with the hardware constraints, the lightweight security protocol is needed and a variety of research is ongoing. In this paper, we propose a non-hierarchical sensor network and a security protocol that is suitable for monitoring man-made objects such as bridges. This paper, furthermore, explores a two-layer authentication, key distribution scheme which distributes the key and location of a sensor node in advance, and an effective security routing protocol which can take advantage of the Sleep and Awake state. This also results in the increased data transfer rate by increasing the number of alternative routing paths and the reduced energy consumption rate.

RFID technology has been gradually expanding its application areas however studies on personal space infringement along with security are insufficient. This paper proposes a new security protocol access time interval scheme and RSA algorithm to analyze existing RFID security protocol and attempts to solve the problem of lightweight protocol. Information protection for two-way channels can be enforced through the proposed protocol and other issues of sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks can be solved by applying a mutual certification technique application among tag readers.
