Passwords are used in many ways to protect data, systems, and networks. Passwords are also used to protect files and other stored information. In addition, passwords are often used in less visible ways for authentication. In this article, We provides recommendations for password management, which is the process of defining, implementing, and maintaining password policies throughout an enterprise. Effective password management reduces the risk of compromise of password-based authentication systems. Organizations need to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of passwords so that all authorized users - and no unauthorized users - can use passwords successfully as needed. Integrity and availability should be ensured by typical data security controls, such as using access control lists to prevent attackers from overwriting passwords and having secured backups of password files. Ensuring the confidentiality of passwords is considerably more challenging and involves a number of security controls along with decisions involving the characteristics of the passwords themselves.

Development of ICT technologies leads exponential growth of various sharing economy over the last couple of years. The intuitive advantage of the sharing economy is efficient utilization of idle goods and services, but there are safety and security concerns. In this paper, we propose a onetime password based access control system to support secure accommodation sharing service and show the implementation results. To provide a secure service to both the provider and the user, the proposed system issues a onetime access password that is valid only during the sharing period reserved by the user, thereafter access returns to the accommodation owner. Especially, our system provides secure user access by merging the two elements of speaker recognition using voice and a one-time password to open and close the door lock. In this paper, we propose a secure system for accommodation sharing services as a use-case, but the proposed system can be applicable to various sharing services utilizing security-sensitive facilities.

Recently, Holbl et al. proposed an improvement to Peyravian-Jeffries's password-based authentication protocol to overcome some security flaws. However, Munilla et al. showed that Holbl et al.'s improvement is still vulnerable to off-line password guessing attack. In this paper, we provide a secure password-based authentication protocol which gets rid of the security flaws of Holbl et al.'s protocol.

By the development of IT, most business has been processed on the IT solution-based servers has increased Therefore, the importance of security of the server is highlighted. And the need for password management server efficient and safe is raised. There is a need to change at least 8 characters to mix the numbers and letters and password change passwords on a regular basis, you need a password for each system account is set in a different way, but the continuation of the system there is a tendency to password problems occur problems caused by the limits of the introduction of human resources and introduction basis occurs. The password management feature, though it is expensive is partially providing integrated access control solutions at home and abroad, there is a drawback that stresses the traffic on the server. Future, we conducted a study of password management solutions for the server of the server is determined IT transformation trend of non-IT field to accelerate, is continuously increasing it accordingly.

To authorize IPSec-VPN Client in Client-to-Gateway type of the IPSec-VPN system, it can be normally used with ID/Password verification method or the implicit authorization method that regards implicitly IPSec-VPN gateway as authorized one in case that the IPSec-VPN client is authenticated. However, it is necessary for the Client-to-Gateway type of the IPSec-VPN system to have a more effective user authorization mechanism because the ID/Password verification method is not easy to transfer the ID/Password information and the implicit authorization method has the vulnerability of security. This paper proposes an effective user authorization mechanism using an attribute certificate and designs a user authorization engine. In addition, it is implemented in this study. The user authorization mechanism for the IPSec-VPN system proposed in this study is easy to implement the existing IPSec-VPN system. Moreover, it has merit to guarantee the interoperability with other IPSec-VPN systems. Furthermore, the user authorization engine designed and implemented in this paper will provide not only DAC(Discretional Access Control) and RBAC(Role-Based Access Control) using an attribute certificate, but also the function of SSO(Single-Sign-On).

Smart Phone devices offer convenience for users, but present a new set of security issues due to loss or malicious code. In this paper, a mobile cloud system environment is used with existing smart phones in an attempt to solve the problems in a banking environment. In order to prevent financial damages due to loss or personal information leakage by malicious code, a mobile cloud computing service that provides control and protection of personal information in environment that ensures individual authentication is used. Existing ID / Password with certificate, with the way smart phone dual password authentication scheme using the gyro sensors proposed.

This study is to propose and design a protocol that offers independent authentication with no necessity of certification authority using password between participants in RS_RCCS(Relay Service-based Remote Computing Control System). In RS_RCCS without authentication center that remote service requesters have mutual authentication with many service managers, there needs for a protocol protected from password attacks. Hereupon, this study is to offer an efficient authentication setting and a protocol for RS_RCCS and helpful for the usefulness of resource management.

System solutions for access control to the user's personal when you want to authenticate to the system is used. The valid user is really just a part of authorized users, the suitability of a valid user has been authenticated are not sure whether the problem is the fact. For example, one developer in the Unix operating system can be valid, but do not have permission to access the system should be limited for. In this paper, a single account for multiple users to use the system operational issues to improve the fine-grained delegation of authority, the session audit, the administrator account's policy-based management, with full rights the administrator account of distribution management and auditing the system overall is the study of access control measures.

Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been continuously digitalized. These systems have a critical role in the operation of nuclear facilities by functioning as the brain of NPPs. In recent years, as cyber security threats to NPP systems have increased, regulatory and policy-related organizations around the world, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Korea Institute of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Control (KINAC), have emphasized the importance of nuclear cyber security by publishing cyber security guidelines and recommending cyber security requirements for NPP facilities. As described in NRC Regulatory Guide (Reg) 5.71 and KINAC RS015, challenge response authentication should be applied to the critical digital I&C system of NPPs to satisfy the cyber security requirements. There have been no cases in which the most robust response authentication technology like challenge response has been developed and applied to nuclear I&C systems. This paper presents a challenge response authentication mechanism for a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system used as a control system in the safety system of the Advanced Power Reactor (APR) 1400 NPP.
