This paper will feature designs for security vulnerability based on MS-SQL Database and OLE connectivity by checking the MS-SQL database password policy, the user account password access attempts, a user without password, and password does not be changed for a period of time. This paper uses the MS-SQL database and C++ linkage in order to use the OLE DB function. The design module should judge presence or absence of security vulnerability by checking database password policy, the user account password access attempts, a user without password, password does not be changed for a period of time. The MS-SQL database password associated with a feature, judging from the many features allows you to check for security vulnerability. This paper strengthen the security of the MS-SQL database by taking the advantage of the proposed ability.

The bilinear pairing, also known as Weil pairing or Tate pairing, is widely used in cryptography and its properties help to construct cryptographic schemes for different applications in which the security of the transmitted data is a major concern. In remote login authentication schemes, there are two major requirements: i) proving the identity of a user and the server for legitimacy without exposing their private keys and ii) freedom for a user to choose and change his password (private key) efficiently. Most of the existing methods based on the bilinear property have some security breaches due to the lack of features and the design issues. In this paper, we develop a new scheme using the bilinear property of an elliptic point and the biometric characteristics. Our method provides many features along with three major goals. a) Checking the correctness of the password before sending the authentication message, which prevents the wastage of communication cost; b) Efficient password change phase in which the user is asked to give a new password after checking the correctness of the current password without involving the server; c) User anonymity - enforcing the suitability of our scheme for applications in which a user does not want to disclose his identity. We use BAN logic to ensure the mutual authentication and session key agreement properties. The paper provides informal security analysis to illustrate that our scheme resists all the security attacks. Furthermore, we use the AVISPA tool for formal security verification of our scheme.

This paper proposes that a user account of the MS-SQL is checked whether expirated or not in C++ program environment. Vulnerability checking module decides security weakness for password change time or user configuration time. The proposed module prevents and protects a user account from a malicious user account. Recently, Information Assets becomes more important. If the loss of database information it would make large damage in our life. This paper develops user account checking module, which checks whether user password have not been changed for a long time or whether the user account expirated in the MS-SQL Database. By checking security vulnerability using this feature, a malicious user cannot access the Database.

Password checking is the most popular user authentication method. The keystroke dynamics can be combined to result in a more secure system. We propose an autoassociator multilayer perceptron which is trained with the timing vectors of the owner's keystroke dynamics and then used to discriminate between the owner and an imposter. An imposter typing the correct password can be detected with a very high accuracy using the proposed approach. The approach can also be used over the internet such as World Wide Web when implemented using a Java applet.

S/KEY system was proposed to guard against intruder's password replay attack. But S/KEY system has vulnerability that if an attacker derive passphrase from his dictionary file, he can acquire one-time password required for user authentication. In this paper, we propose a correct S/KEY system mixed with EKE to solve the problem. Also, we specify a new S/KEY system with Casper and CSP, verify its secrecy and authentication requirements using FDR model checking tool.

다중 사용자 환경에서 컴퓨터 시스템 보안을 위한 사용자 인증(user authentication)은 패스워드 (password), 토큰(token), 스마트 카드(smart card), 지문(fingerprint), 음성(voiceprint) 등 다양한 정보들을 통하여 시스템에 접근하는 사용자의 신원을 확인하고, 인증되지 않은 사용자의 접근을 제한한다. 이들 중 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 패스워드 기반 사용자 인증은 구현이 쉽고, 관리 비용이 적게 든다는 장점이 있다. 패스워드 기반 사용자 인증에서 패스워드의 선택은 시스템의 보안을 위하여 매우 중요하다. 따라서 시스템 관리 차원에서 사용자의 패스워드를 검사할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 패스워드를 추측하기 쉬운 패스워드와 추측하기 어려운 패스워드로 분류하는 근거가 되는 여러 가지 패스워드들에 대한 특징들 중, 패스워드에 대한 언어적인 정보를 구별할 수 있는 특징을 제안한다. 또한 이를 신경망(neural network)을 사용하여 구현함으로써 보안 시스템의 특성에 따라 패스워드의 적합성 여부를 유연하게 조정할 수 있는 프로액티브 패스워드 체킹 방법을 제안한다.

An e-passport is equipped with bio information by adding the non-attachable IC chip with a smart function. In order to solve such a problem, the user's privacy is protected by using the BAC, PA, AA and EAC mechanisms. However, the password key used in the BAC mechanism is made of the combination of the MRZ values. As a result, it is possible to decode the password by using the indiscriminate attacking program after finding out the combined rules of MRZ. This thesis suggests the mechanism with an improved level of efficiency through the time-stamp values by using the information of images and fingerprints and checking the forge or falsification of the e-passport when establishing a safe channel between the chip of the e-passport and the decoding system.

Many Web sites adopt SMS(Short Message Service)-based user authentication when a user loses her password or approves an online payment. In SMS-based authentication, the authentication server sends a text in plaintext to a user's phone, and it allows an attacker who eavesdrops or intercepts the text to impersonate a valid user(victim). We propose a challenge-response scheme to prove to the authentication server that a user is in a certain place at the moment with her smartphone beside her. The proposed scheme generates a response using a challenge by the server, user's current location, and a secret on the user's smartphone all together. Consequently, the scheme is much more secure than SMS-based authentication that simply asks a user to send the same text arrived on her phone back to the server. In addition to entering the response, which substitutes the SMS text, the scheme also requests a user to input a passphrase to get the authentication process started. We believe, however, the additional typing should be tolerable to most users considering the enhanced security level of the scheme.

The paper attempts to design and implement the system which can remotely check visitors' speech or Image by a mobile phone. This system is designed to recognize who a visitor is through the automatic calling service, not through a short message, via the mobile phone, even when the home owner is outside. In general, door locks are controlled through the home Server, but it is more effective to control door locks by using DTMF signal from a real-time point of view. The technology suggested in this paper makes it possible to communicate between the visiter and the home owner by making a phone call to tile home owner's mobile phone automatically when the visiter visits the house even if the home owner is outside, and if necessary, it allows for the home owner to control the door lock remotely. Thanks to the system, the home owner is not restricted by time or space for checking the visitor's identification and controlling the door lock. In addition, the security system is improved by changing from the existing password form to the combination of password and speaker verification lot the verification procedure required for controlling the door lock and setting the environment under consideration of any disadvantages which may occur when the mobile Phone is lost. Also, any existing problems such as reconnection to tile network for controlling tile door lock are solved by controlling the door lock in real time by use of DTMF signal while on the phone.

The increase in applying IT to vehicles has given birth to smart cars or connected cars. As smarts cars become connected with external network systems, threats to communication security are on the rise. With simulation test results supporting such threats to Convergence security in vehicular communication, concerns are raised over relevant vulnerabilities, while an increasing number of studies on secure vehicular communication are published. Hacking attacks against vehicles are more dangerous than other types of hacking attempts because such attacks may threaten drivers' lives and cause social instability. This paper designed a Convergence security protocol for inter-vehicle and intra-vehicle communication using a hash function, nonce, public keys, time stamps and passwords. The proposed protocol was tested with a formal verification tool, Casper/FDR, and found secure and safe against external attacks.
