In this paper, we draw a security assessment by analyzing possible vulnerabilities of the designated PC service which is supposed for strengthening security of current online identification methods that provide various areas such as the online banking and a game and so on. There is a difference between the designated PC service and online identification methods. Online identification methods authenticate an user by the user's private information or the user's knowledge-based information, though the designated PC service authenticates a hardware-based unique information of the user's PC. For this reason, high task significance services employ with online identification methods and the designated PC service for improving security multiply. Nevertheless, the security assessment of the designated PC service has been absent and possible vulnerabilities of the designated PC service are counterfeiter and falsification when the hardware-based unique-information is extracted on the user's PC and sent an authentication server. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze possible vulnerabilities of the designated PC service and draw the security assessment.

Thia paper suggests a milti user-authentication system comprises that DNA biometric informatiom, owner's RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) smartcard of hardware token, and PKI digital signqture of software. This system improved items proposed in [1] as follows : this mechanism provides one RFID smartcard instead of two user-authentication smartcard(the biometric registered seal card and the DNA personal ID card), and solbers user information exposure as RFID of low proce when the card is lost. In addition, this can be perfect multi user-autentication system to enable identification even in cases such as identical twins, the DNA collected from the blood of patient who has undergone a medical procedure involving blood replacement and the DNA of the blood donor, mutation in the DNA base of cancer cells and other cells. Therefore, the proposed system is applied to terminal log-on with RFID smart card that stores accurate digital DNA biometric information instead of present biometric user-authentication system with the card is lost, which doesn't expose any personal DNA information. The security of PKI digital signature private key can be improved because secure pseudo random number generator can generate infinite one-time pseudo randon number corresponding to a user ID to keep private key of PKI digital signature securely whenever authenticated users access a system. Un addition, this user-authentication system can be used in credit card, resident card, passport, etc. acceletating the use of biometric RFID smart' card. The security of proposed system is shown by statistical anaysis.

Due to the increasing use of Internet and spread of ubiquitous environment the security of private information became an important issue. For this reason, many suggestions have been made in order to protect the privacy of users. In the study of authentication system using a smart card which is one of the methods for protecting private information, the main idea is to offer user anonymity. In 2004, Das et al. suggested an authentication system that guarantees anonymity by using a dynamic ID for the first time. However, this scheme couldn't guarantee complete anonymity as the identity of the user became revealed at log-in phase. In 2005, Chien at al. suggested a authentication system that guarantees anonymity, but this was only safe to the outsider(attacker). In this paper, we propose a scheme that enables the mutual authentication between the user and the sewer by using a smart card. For the protection of the user privacy, we suggest an efficient user authentication system that guarantees perfect anonymity to both the outsider and remote server.

The personal health record (PHR) system is a promising application that provides precise information and customized services for health care. To flexibly protect sensitive data, attribute-based encryption has been widely applied for PHR access control. However, escrow, exposure and abuse of private keys still hinder its practical application in the PHR system. In this paper, we propose a coordinated ciphertext policy attribute-based access control with user accountability (CCP-ABAC-UA) for the PHR system. Its coordinated mechanism not only effectively prevents the escrow and exposure of private keys but also accurately detects whether key abuse is taking place and identifies the traitor. We claim that CCP-ABAC-UA is a user-side lightweight scheme. Especially for PHR receivers, no bilinear pairing computation is needed to access health records, so the practical mobile PHR system can be realized. By introducing a novel provably secure construction, we prove that it is secure against selectively chosen plaintext attacks. The analysis indicates that CCP-ABAC-UA achieves better performance in terms of security and user-side computational efficiency for a PHR system.

The Lambda Networking is emerging to provide the high bandwidth stably for advanced applications such as a large file transfer in High Energy Physics and an Uncompressed HDTV streaming. The User Controlled LightPath(UCLP) is a software to facilitate the Lambda Networking. The UCLP is scalable as using Web Services to define and manage network resources. In this paper, we describe how we deployed the UCLP into KREONet2 and GLORIAD-KR. We also present that the original UCLP creates only a link-level APN due to a SONET technology. As employing a Virtual LAN (VLAN) of the layer2 technology in the UCLP, we can efficiently create a network-level APN.

At present, the market size of electronic commerce has increased and also the construction of internet shopping mall has expended. But it raises question about issue that the manpower who develope user interface lack of the comprehensive and systematic approach. For that reason this study identified the main factor of the user interface contents in internet shopping mall and suggested the contents item based on the reliability, safety and ease of uses for the customer. Eventually, the developed basic contents items are company information, the protection policy of private information, user agreement. product information, settlement information, order process, delivery process and customer support.

In recent years, data privacy has become increasingly important. The goal of network cryptography is to protect data while it is being transmitted over the internet or a network. Social media and smartphone apps collect a lot of personal data which if exposed, might be damaging to privacy. As a result, sensitive data is exposed and data is shared without the data owner's consent. Personal Information is one of the concerns in data privacy. Protecting user data and sensitive information is the first step to keeping user data private. Many applications user data can be found on other websites. In this paper, we discuss the issue of privacy and suggest a mechanism for keeping user data hidden in other applications.

Harn al proposed a GKRS(Global Key Recovery System) that combines the functions of the key recovery authorities and the public key certification authorities(CA), Among other features, user dominance(i.e, a user is allowed to select his own public-private key pair and especially a public element for verifying the validity of the public-private key pair)is proposed by [1] for wide acceptance of GKRS. In this paper, we attack the RSA version of GKRS by showing that its user-dominance feature and the corresponding key verification scheme employed by the CA allow for fraud by users against CA. We propose more secure GKPS than original GKPS, The proposed system makes the probability of user fraud negligible small.

The Android operating system is exposed to a phishing attack of stealing private information that a user enters into a web page. We have discovered two security vulnerabilities of the phishing attack. First, an always-on-top scheme allows malware to place a transparent user interface (UI) on the current top screen and intercept a user input. Second, the Android provides some APIs that allow malware to obtain the information of a currently visited web page. This paper introduces a phishing that attacks a web page by exploiting the two vulnerabilities. The attack detects a visit to a security-relevant web page and steals private information from the web page. Our experiments on popular web sites reveal that the attack is significantly accurate and dangerous.
