The existing wireless LAN standard IEEE802.11b has many vulnerabilities from security point of view. The authentication mechanisms in IEEE802.11b have many vulnerabilities. As a result to complement the weak of IEEE802.11b authentication, the IEEE802.1x had been developed in the sense of providing strong user authentication with appropriate mechanism. But this mechanism does not perform AP authentication and there are also some weak points. And in confidentiality and message Integrity case, WEP is weak from key stream reuse attack, IV reuse attack and so on. For that reason, in this paper we propose secure wireless LAN system. Our system provides strong user authentication, confidentiality, and message integrity based on existing IEEE802.1x framework and TLS.

GSM(Global System for Mobile Communications) is a Pan-European digital cellular mobile system supporting widespread roaming and personal communication services in a worldwide wireless communication network. In suite of providing security capability, however, there are some problems like user authentication in GSM. In this paper, we propose the enhanced authentication mechanism to verify strongly each network entity to so]ye user authentication problem and support anonymity for user privacy.

In ubiquitous environment, mobile devices, which users carry, tend to be resource-constraint, thus resulting in the need for an authentication protocol, which provides light-weight computations as well as strong security. Recently S/Key based protocols, which satisfy such a requirement by achieving light-weight computations, strong authentication and session key exchange, have been proposed. In particular, You and Jung's protocol is more efficient and secure than others. In this paper, we compare and analyze You-Jung with other protocols. Also, we design an authentication scenario and status of mobile devices while implementing the protocol.

In the 4th Industrial Revolution, the Internet of Things emerged and various services and convenience improved. As the frequency of use increases, security threats such as leakage of personal information coexist and the importance of security are increasing. In this paper, we analyze the security threats of the Internet of things and propose a model for enhancing security through user authentication using Fast IDentity Online (FIDO). As a result, we propose to implement strong user authentication by introducing second authentication through FIDO.

Today, wireless LANs are widely deployed in various places such as corporate office conference rooms, industrial warehouses, Internet-ready classrooms, etc. However, new concerns have been raised regarding suity. Currently, both virtual private network(VPN) and WEP are used together as a strong authentication mechanism. While security is increased by using VPN and WEP together, unnecessary redundancy occurs causing power consumption increase and authentication speed decrease in the authentication process. In this paper a new synchronization protocol for authentication is proposed which allows simple authentication, minimal power consumption at the mobile station, and high utilization of authentication stream. This is achieved by using one bit per a frame authentication, while main authentication process including synchronization is handled by access points. Computer simulation reveals that the proposed scheme significantly improves the authentication efficiency in terms of the number of authenticated frames and authentication speed compared with an earlier protocol employing a similar authentication approach.

Most services need to have authentication protocols to verify users' eligibility in the network environment. For this, a lot of user authentication protocols have been researched and developed. Two of them, SPMA and I-SPMA protocols, introduced the lack of mutual authentication and vulnerability to the reply attack of the prior protocols and suggested revised protocols. Nevertheless, these protocols did not mention about the critical problem caused when the server and the client lose synchronization on the secret information between them. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the security characteristics of the existing protocols and prove the vulnerability to the synchronization of the protocols.

Authentication mechanisms coupled with strong encryption techniques are used for network security purposes; however, given sufficient time, well-equipped intruders are successful for compromising system security. The authentication protocols often fail when they are analysed critically. Formal approaches have emerged to analyse protocol failures. In this study, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) which is an abstract language designed especially for the description of communication patterns is employed. Rank functions are also used for verification and analysis which are helpful to establish that some critical information is not available to the intruder. In order to establish this, by assigning a value or rank to each critical information, it is shown that all the critical information that can be generated within the network have a particular characterizing property. This paper presents an application of rank functions approach to an authentication protocol that combines delaying the decryption process with timed authentication while keys are dynamically renewed under pseudo-secure situations. The analysis and verification of authentication properties and results are presented and discussed.

In the paper, an algorithm fitted to P2P system was proposed by improving Kerberos which is an algorithm for mutual authentication. To keep the role of Kerberos and minimize load to server, the proposed algorithm imposed the server role of ticket recognition to the opposite peer. Using this method, the number of sewers as ticket recognition server was averted and function of server for authentication was minimized so that server load was mininized. The proposed algorithm enables the server to play the minimum of the role and to perform strong mutual authentication, while imposeing on the peers the role of authentication. To make suitable to P2P system, trial number oriented authentication limit was given, not time-oriented authentication expiration time. In the paper, a new P2P system was designed using this algorithm.

Recently, as the service scale of cloud service is expanded, an anxiety due to concerns on new vulnerabilities and security related incidents and accidents are also increasing. This paper proposes a certification scheme for multiple session management of security sessions which are generated after the user authentication. The proposed session multiplexing scheme enables the independent management of security sessions in the level of virtualization (hypervisor) within the service provider. As a result of performance analysis, providing a strong safety due to session multiplexing and mutual authentication, and the superiority of performance was proven by comparing it with the existing mutual authentication encryption algorithms.

Moblie device based financial services are vulnerable to social engineering attacks because of the display screen of mobile devices. In other words, in the case of shoulder surfing, attackers can easily look over a user's shoulder and expose his/her password. To resolve this problem, a colour-based secure keyboard solution has been proposed. However, it is inconvenient for genuine users to verify their password using this method. Furthermore, password colours can be exposed because of fixed keyboard colours. Therefore, we propose a secure mobile authentication method to provide advanced functionality and strong privacy. Our authentication method is robust to social engineering attacks, especially keylogger and shoulder surfing attacks. According to the evaluation results, our method offers increased security and improved usability compared with existing methods.
