As Internet access through mobile devices is increasing, Mobile IP is the protocol to provide the mobility of a host on the existing IP. It is important to provide secure authentication when mobile node register with home agent through the foreign agent each time it moves. In this paper, we propose the authentication mechanism using a regional registration. The proposed authentication mechanism reduce frequent home registration in regional movement. The simulation results show that the proposed authentication reduces the total registration time and is more efficient than conventional registration mechanism.

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, the problem of privacy protection has been paid great attention. Recently, Nikooghadam et al. pointed out that Kumari et al.'s protocol can neither resist off-line guessing attack nor preserve user anonymity. Moreover, the authors also proposed an authentication supportive session initial protocol, claiming to resist various vulnerability attacks. Unfortunately, this paper proves that the authentication protocols of Kumari et al. and Nikooghadam et al. have neither the ability to preserve perfect forward secrecy nor the ability to resist key-compromise impersonation attack. In order to remedy such flaws in their protocols, we design a lightweight authentication protocol using elliptic curve cryptography. By way of informal security analysis, it is shown that the proposed protocol can both resist a variety of attacks and provide more security. Afterward, it is also proved that the protocol is resistant against active and passive attacks under Dolev-Yao model by means of Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic (BAN-Logic), and fulfills mutual authentication using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) software. Subsequently, we compare the protocol with the related scheme in terms of computational complexity and security. The comparative analytics witness that the proposed protocol is more suitable for practical application scenarios.

GSM(Global System for Mobile communications) that is the most popular standard for mobile phones, has more than 70% users in the world and the number of users increase continuously. However GSM system has the problem that cannot normally authenticate a user by the exposure of IMSI that is able to uniquely authenticate MS? during the user authentication procedure. In this paper? we provide security enhancement and user privacy by adopting a temporary id and an encryption scheme. Moreover we provide fast user authentication via architecture modification of the conventional GSM user authentication protocol.

In 2009, Jeon et al proposed the lightweight strong authentication and strong privacy protocol, where the tag requrires only simple bitwise operations and random number generator. JK-RFID authentication protocol provides strong security: eavesdropping, replay, spoofing, Location tracking, DoS attack and forward security. Nevertheless, this paper points out the vulnerability of the forward security and improve the process of key updating. As a result, proposes an enhanced JK-RFID authentication protocol providing forward security and verify its satisfaction. In addition, a security and an efficiency of the proposed scheme analyze. Since partial adjustments of the key updating operation in JK-RFID authentication protocol, our protocol improve the forward security.

In this paper, the strengths and weaknesses of each type of personal authentication system are examined and the development direction of the personal authentication system is presented. Currently, the personal authentication system commonly used is a text-based password system. However, most of the current text-based password systems are weak in usability and security. In order to solve this problems a personal authentication system that can replace the text-based password system is required. In this paper, we take the recently developed graphical password system as an example to find the conditions and possibilities to replace the text-based password system, and present the development direction of the personal authentication system.

In May 2014, AppCard(Which is a smartphone application designed to register and use a credit card in a mobile phone by credit card company.) was attacked by smshing and a vulnerability which could not obtainable phone number. After that, credit card companies have supplemented and operated by introducing additional authentication methods to supplement the vulnerability. However, The analysis of the authentication environments, purposes and methods is not enough to lower the level of vulnerability and risk from existing accidents. This study analyzes the authentication process of the AppCard in the electronic financial service by applying the NIST's authentication guidelines, identifies the problems and suggests improvement directions. The method analyzed in this study can be applied to the analysis of the authentication method in addition to the application card, so that it will be highly utilized.

As quick and secure mobility service is becoming a critical issue in the ubiquitous environment. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has done a lot of meaningful work in order to cope with the critical issues, which is a key technology of guaranteeing the legally and safely using of network resources, they has proposed Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) to complement for such problems as handover latency and signaling overhead in existing MIPv6. Most of the current research about HMIPv6 focuses on how to optimize the interactive processes between the HMIPv6 and AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) protocol. This paper describes a cost-effective hierarchical authentication scheme, which makes its focus on minimizing the authentication latency in AAA processing. In this scheme, a hierarchical AAA architecture is proposed, in which the AAA servers are deployed on the Mobility Anchor Point (MAP), the Root AAA server manages several Leaf AAA servers and the Brokers on behalf of the AAA server in home domain. The simulation results shows that the proposed scheme reduces the handoff and authentication latency evidently compared to the previous traditional authentication combination modeling.

This paper proposes a proactive authentication scheme using credentials based on chameleon hashing in MIH environments. There is a proactive authentication structure defined by IEEE 802.21 Security Study Group for the link access in MIH environment. Both schemes based on EAP and on PKI can be applied to such structure, but the former has caused network traffic due to the complicated authentication procedure and the latter has complex structure for managing certificates. The proposed scheme performs the proactive authentication procedure only between a mobile node and a MIH Key Holder by using credentials based on chameleon hashing. Our scheme reduces the network traffic since authentication with the server is unnecessary in MIH environment and PKI structure is not required as well. In addition, the proposed scheme provides secure PFS and PBS features owing to the authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange of the chameleon-based credential.

EAP is an extensible authentication protocol that supports EAP methods with various authentication mechanisms. Since EAP itself is designed as a protocol for authentication only, it is not used for general data transmission after authentication between peer and authenticator. EAP itself is a protocol that can operate lightly in terms of the simple communication structure of EAP, but the procedure may become more complicated depending on which EAP method is selected and used. In particular, the IoT market has recently become established, and frequent authentication environments arise due to data loss, modulation, and repeated connections in a wireless environment. In this case, some highly secure EAP methods are not suitable for some IoT environments that require lighter and faster communications than complex procedures. In this paper, we design a lightweight authentication EAP method that is suitable for IoT environment that does not touch the existing EAP framework and requires frequent authentication and fast communication.
