최근들어 Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) 태그가 다수의 상품에 부착되고 여러 분야에 적용되기 시작했지만, 편리성이나 비용문제로 인해 인증과 암호화 같은 보안기능은 적용되지 않고있다. 보안 기능이 없는 RFID 시스템은 개인정보 노출, 불법 리더의 접근, 위조 태그의 남용과 같은 심각한 부작용을 초래하지만, 태그 자원의 제약으로 인해 보안기능을 적용하기가 쉽지않다. 현재 여러 기술을 따르는 RFID 시스템 중 EPCglobal 의 EPC Class 1 Generation 2(C1G2) 는 산업계의 여러 분야에서 특히, supply-chain 모델에서 사실상 국제표준으로 여겨진다. 본 논문에서는, RFID 보안 프로토콜 중 EPC C1G2 메커니즘의 Inventory 과정에서 태그가 리더를 인증하는 기법을 제안한다. C1G2 시스템에서는 인증되지 않은 리더의 태그 액세스가 가능한데, 이는 태그의 리더 인증으로서 차단될 수 있다. 또한, EPC C1G2 태그-리더 간의 상호인증 기법을 제안한다. 이 과정에서 태그 ID 는 노출되지 않고 전송되며, 태그 인증을 통해 태그 위변조를 방지할 수도 있다. 제안 메커니즘은 태그를 식별하는 절차에서 인증을 위해 프로토콜 패스 수의 증가가 없다. 다만 리더와 태그에서 Inventory 과정의 ACK command 와 태그의 reply 구현에 약간의 수정을 필요로 한다.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), 즉, 무선 주파수 인식 기술은 주파수를 이용하여 개별 상품을 식별하는 방식을 일컫는다. 바코드나 스마트카드에 비하여 우수한 특성에 의해 다양한 응용이 가능하여, 향후 유비쿼터스 환경을 구축하는 데 핵심적 역할을 할 것으로 보인다. 그러나 이러한 환경을 제대로 갖추기 위해서는 보안 기술이 필수적이다. 작고 가벼움을 필수조건으로 하는 RFID에서는 기존의 보안 기술을 그대로 적용하기 어렵기 때문에 보다 가볍고 안전한 RFID 보호 프로토콜이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 태그와 리더가 각각 난수를 생성함으로써 기존의 인증 프로토콜보다 적은 연산만으로도 서로를 안전하게 인증하는 기법을 제시한다.

Recently, RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) has emerged as the main technology in the logistic services. When the existing recognition technology based on bar codes brings about lots of problem due its own limits. RFID becomes the center of attention to solve them. However, RFID is not without any obstacles : companies have their own operating systems. while RFID is developed regardless of each campany's special features. RFID middleware system based on web service is expected to remove these obstacles. This paper shows how to operate the middleware based on web service and to lay in the DB the tag informations taken from reader system Middle assures that companies adopting RFID system for their logistic service are given athptabwebty to any systems whatsoever, avaweable by way of defining logistic information, tag information and reader information. For this purse, we implement as the basic web service a middleware system that turns all data into XML(eXtensatle Markupmsngunfo) of SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol), the standard data.

A RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system receives attention as the technology which can realize the ubiquitous computing environment. However, the feature of the RFID tags may bring about new threats to the security and privacy of individuals. Recently, Juels proposed the minimalist cryptography for very low-cost RFID tags, which is secure. but only under the impractical assumption such that an adversary is allowed to eavesdrop only the pre-defined number of sessions. In this paper, we propose a scheme to protect privacy for very low-cost RFID systems. The proposed protocol uses only bit-wise operations without my costly cryptographic function such as hashing, encryption which is secure which is secure against an adversary who is allowed to eavesdrop transmitted message in every session any impractical assumption. The proposed scheme also is more efficient since our scheme requires less datas as well as few number of computations than Juels's scheme.

In a hyper-connected society realized through IoT-enabled technology, a large amount of data is collected by various devices and is processed to provide new services to users. While communicating through a network, it is essential for devices to execute mutual authentication since users' privacy can be infringed by malicious attackers. ID-based signature enables authentication and key exchange with a unique ID of a device. However, most of the previous ID-based signature schemes based on RSA require an additional step to share parameters for key exchange so that they are not suitable for resource-constrained devices in terms of efficiency. In this paper, we design an efficient ID-based signature and thereby propose an efficient ID-based authentication and key exchange protocol in which sessions for both an authentication and a key exchange are executed simultaneously. In addition, we prove the security of our scheme under the RSA onewayness problem and analyze the efficiency by comparing with the previous schemes.

RFID, a non-contact wireless identification technology is being noticed as a technology to alternate barcode system in distribution industry and general industry. Despite of merit of RFID, there are issues to be solved for practical use. One of them, which are most important, is resolution of user's information protection. RFID system without security function bears risk exposing personal data and user's privacy. In this paper, we propose mutual authentication protocol for RFID system in order to solve this security issue. This study aimed to protect user's privacy by providing dynamic ID for tag through authentication protocol safe from security threats. Information being transmitted between backend, reader and tag has no direct connection with ID of tag, and it conducts authentication process using one-way hash function, which prevents attacker's obtaining of tag information using information being transmitted.

The RFID system provides undeniable advantages so that it is used for various application. However recent RFID system is vulnerable to some attacks as eavesdropping, replay attack, message hijacking, and tag tampering, because the messages are transmitted through the wireless channel and the tags are cheap. Above attacks cause the tag and reader impersonation, denial of service by invalidating tag, and the location tracking concerning bearer of tags, A lot of RFID authentication protocol bas been proposed to solve the vulnerability. Since Weis, Sanna, Rivest, and Engel, proposed the bash-based RFID authentication protocol, many researchers have improved hash-based authentication protocol and recent bash-based authentication protocols provide security and desirable privacy. However, it remains open problem to reduce the tag identification time as long as privacy and security are still guaranteed. Here we propose a new protocol in which the tags generate the message depending on the state of previous communitions between tag and reader. In consequence, our protocol allows a server to identify a tag in a reasonable amount of time while ensuring security and privacy, To be specific, we reduced the time for the server to identify a tag when the last session finished abnormally by at least 50% compared with other bash-based schemes that ensure levels of security and privacy similar to ours.

The RFID system has the security problem of location tracking and user privacy. In order to solve this problem, the cryptographic access method using hash function is difficult to in real applications. Because there is a limit of computing and storage capacity of Tag, but the safety is proved. The lightweight authentication methods like HB and LMAP guarantee the high efficiency, but the safety is not enough to use. In this paper, we use the AES for RFID Authentication, and solve the problem of using fixed key with key change step by step. The symmetric keys of the tag and server are changed by the random number generated by tag, reader and server successively. This could prevent the key exposure. As a result, the output of the tag and reader always changes. These key changes could make it possible to prevent eavesdropping, replay attack, location tracking and spoofing.

Objectives : This study was done to assess the effects of the clinical interchange between the Western Medicine and the Oriental Medicine for ischemic stroke patients. The patient outcomes include changes in neurologic function by modified NIH stoke scale, stroke pattern identification scale, and patient satisfaction, Methods : For the assessment of effects, this study was performed with 178 inpatients who had undergone the stroke care at three hospitals (W Hospital adopted western therapy, S Oriental Hospital adopted Sasang constitution medicine therapy, and H Oriental Hospital adopted mixed therapy according to a joint protocol on Western Oriental medical care) from November 1997 to December 1998. Patients were interviewed or written with self-entered questionnaire forms, and clinical data were obtained, Physicians or oriental doctors wrote clinical questionnaire forms according to the care process. Results : The patient outcomes within three hospitals at 2 stages (at admission and discharge in the modified NIH stroke scale. at admission and second weeks during admission in the stroke pattern identification scale) were found to be decreased, Especially in the results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the degree of improvement of modified NIH stroke scale of the stroke patients at W Hospital was significant large than it at S Oriental Hospital. Also, the degree of improvement of stroke pattern identification scale at W Hospital was significantly large than it at other two hospitals. However, the patient's satisfaction score at three hospitals wasn't significantly different. Conclusions : The result of this study suggested that the joint clinical research of Western & Oriental medical practitioners was possible even if there was a conflict between Western Medicine and Oriental Medicine. Therefore Western & Oriental medical practitioners share a mutual responsibility to apply evidence-based practice, to seek scientific empirical proof through randomized clinical trials between the multicenter.
