In cloud computing era, an increasing number of resource-constrained users outsource their data to cloud servers. Due to the untrustworthiness of cloud servers, it is important to ensure the integrity of outsourced data. However, most of existing solutions still have challenging issues needing to be addressed, such as the identity privacy protection of users, the traceability of users, the supporting of dynamic user operations, and the publicity of auditing. In order to tackle these issues simultaneously, in this paper, we propose a traceable dynamic public auditing scheme with identity privacy preserving for cloud storage. In the proposed scheme, a single user, including a group manager, is unable to know the signer's identity. Furthermore, our scheme realizes traceability based on a secret sharing mechanism and supports dynamic user operations. Based on the security and efficiency analysis, it is shown that our scheme is secure and efficient.

The fusion of Internet technology and applications with wireless communication provides a new business model and promises to extend the possibilities of commerce to what is popularly called mobile commerce, or m-commerce. In mobile Internet banking service through wireless local area network, security is a most important factor to consider. We describe the development of security service for mobile Internet banking on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Banking Server and Authentication Server were developed to simulate banking business and to support certificate management of authorized clients, respectively. To increase security, we took hybrid approach in implementation: symmetric block encryption and public-key encryption. Hash function and random number generation were exploited to generate a secret key. The data regarding banking service were encrypted with symmetric block encryption, RC4, and the random number sequence was done with public-key encryption. PDAs communicate through IEEE 802.IIb wireless LAN (Local Area Network) to access banking service. Several banking services and graphic user interfaces, which emulatedthe services of real bank, were developed to verity the working of each security service in PDA, the Banking Server, and the Authentication Server.

무선랜을 ITS에 적용하기 위해서는 무선 구간 보안성 향상과 이동성 지원을 위한 빠른 접속이 요구된다. 그러나 IEEE 802.11i 보안 표준을 적용하는 경우 보안 강화를 위한 IEEE 802.1X 사용자 인증 및 4-Way handshake 과정을 수행함으로써 접속 지연이 발생하여 ITS에 그대로 적용하기에는 무리가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Key Table을 이용한 Password 인증 및 데이터 암호화 메커니즘을 제안하고, 성능 분석을 통해 검증하였다.

Secured and reliable routing is a crucial factor for improving the performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) since these networks are susceptible to many types of attacks. The existing assumption about the internal nodes in wireless mesh networks is that they cooperate well during the forwarding of packets all the time. However, it is not always true due to the presence of malicious and mistrustful nodes. Hence, it is essential to establish a secure, reliable and stable route between a source node and a destination node in WMN. In this paper, a trust based secure routing algorithm is proposed for enhancing security and reliability of WMN, which contains cross layer and subject logic based reliable reputation scheme with security tag model for providing effective secured routing. This model uses only the trusted nodes with the forwarding reliability of data transmission and it isolates the malicious nodes from the providing path. Moreover, every node in this model is assigned with a security tag that is used for efficient authentication. Thus, by combining authentication, trust and subject logic, the proposed approach is capable of choosing the trusted nodes effectively to participate in forwarding the packets of trustful peer nodes successfully. The simulation results obtained from this work show that the proposed routing protocol provides optimal network performance in terms of security and packet delivery ratio.

최근 센서를 이용한 장치들의 사용은 증가추세이다. 이런 센서 장치들은 이종무선 센서네트워크 환경에서 최신 기술들과 연관 지어 폭발적으로 증가하고 있다. 이런 환경에서 센서디바이스의 사용은 우리에게 편리함을 제공하기는 하나 여러 형태의 보안위협이 도사리고 있는 실정이다. 무선선서네트워크를 이용하여 원격으로 접속하여 제공받는 서비스에 존재하는 보안위협 중 대부분은 전송되는 정보의 유출과 사용자, 센서, 게이트웨이 사이의 인증에 대한 손실이 대부분이다. 2019년 Chen 등이 이종무선 센서 네트워크에 안전한 사용자 인증 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 그러나 Ryu 등이 제안한 논문에서 그들이 제안 프로토콜은 password guessing attack과 session key attack에 취약하다는 것을 주장하였다. 본 논문은 이전에 제안된 논문의 취약점을 개선하여 더욱 안전하고 효율적인 사용자 인증 프로토콜을 제안하였다.

Recently, more users have been using IoT embedded systems. Since the wireless network function is a basic and core function in most embedded systems, new security threats and weaknesses are expected to occur. In order to resolve these threats, it is necessary to investigate the security issues in the development stages according to the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). This study analyzes the vulnerabilities of the embedded systems equipped with the wireless network function, and derives possible security threats and how dangerous such threats are. We present security risks including bypassing the authentication stage required for accessing to the embedded system.

무선LAN(wireless Local Area Network)이란 옥내 또는 옥외 환경에서 무선으로 네트워크 환경을 구축하는 것을 말하며, 기술적인 측면에서는 허브(Hub)에서 PC(Personal Computer), 노트북PC, PDA 등 클라이언트까지 유선 대신 전파나 빛을 이용하여 네트워크를 구축하는 방식을 말한다. 현재, IEEE 802.11 WG(Working Group) 중에는 AP(Access Point)간의 표준화된 프로토콜을 개발하는 TGf(Task Group F)가 있다. 이 그룹에서는 서로 다른 제조업체에서 생산한 AP 간의 상호연동을 보장하기 위한 IAPP(Inter Access Point Protocol)를 제안하였는데, 이는 동일 서브네트워크 내의 서로 다른 AP간에 이동성을 보장하기 위한 프로토콜로, STA(Station)들이 이동할 때 재인증 과정을 거치지 않고 AP간의 Security Context 정보나 Layer 2 forwarding 정보를 공유함으로서 STA간의 seamless 연결성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 위의 AP간 메시지 전달 시 발생할 수 있는 보안성이 요구되는 iapp-move 요청, 응답 메시지를 이미 사용되고 있는 인증된 경로를 통해 전달함으로써 WEP키 등의 보안성이 요구되는 정보의 유출을 막고, 무선구간의 보안성을 제공하기 위해 공개키를 이용한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The need for securing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is essential especially in mission critical fields such as military and medical applications. Security techniques that are used to secure any network depend on the security requirements that should be achieved to protect the network from different types of attacks. Furthermore, the characteristics of wireless networks should be taken into consideration when applying security techniques to these networks. In this paper, energy efficient Security Model for Tree-based Routing protocols (SMTR) is proposed. In SMTR, different attacks that could face any tree-based routing protocol in WSNs are studied to design a security reference model that achieves authentication and data integrity using either Message Authentication Code (MAC) or Digital Signature (DS) techniques. The SMTR communication and processing costs are mathematically analyzed. Moreover, SMTR evaluation is performed by firstly, evaluating several MAC and DS techniques by applying them to tree-based routing protocol and assess their efficiency in terms of their power requirements. Secondly, the results of this assessment are utilized to evaluate SMTR phases in terms of energy saving, packet delivery success ratio and network life time.

Sensor networks are composed of provide low powered, inexpensive distributed devices which can be deployed over enormous physical spaces. Coordination between sensor devices is required to achieve a common communication. In low cost, low power and short-range wireless environment, sensor networks cope with significant resource constraints. Security is one of main issues in wireless sensor networks because of potential adversaries. Several security protocols and models have been implemented for communication on computing devices but deployment these models and protocols into the sensor networks is not easy because of the resource constraints mentioned. Memory intensive encryption algorithms as well as high volume of packet transmission cannot be applied to sensor devices due to its low computational speed and memory. Deployment of sensor networks without security mechanism makes sensor nodes vulnerable to potential attacks. Therefore, attackers compromise the network to accept malicious sensor nodes as legitimate nodes. This paper provides the different security models as a metric, which can then be used to make pertinent security decisions for securing wireless sensor network communication.
