In this paper, We propose an efficient remote password authentication scheme that enables network users to access and open distributed network. Our authentication Scheme provides a pair of a center-supplied password and a user key for a network user. The center-supplied password is generated on the center, and the user key can be chosen by the network user. Each network user can access multiple centers through the open and distributed network by using single super smart card. The passwords generated by network centers are sent to the network users via secure channel, and put into their own supper smart card by themselves.

In this paper, we present a digital authentication technique using content-based watermarking in digital images. To digest the image contents, Hopfield network is employed on the block-based edge image. The Hopfield function extracts the same tit fur similarly looking blocks so that the values are unlikely to change to the innocuous manipulations while being changed far malicious manipulations. By inputting the extracted bit sequence with secret key to the cryptographic hash function, we generate a watermark for each block by seeding a pseudo random number generator with a hash output Therefore, the proposed authentication technique can distinguish between malicious attacks and innocuous attacks. Watermark embedding is based on the block-based spread spectrum method in DCT domain and the strength of watermark is adjusted according to the local statistics of DCT coefficients in a zig-zag scan line in AC subband. The numerical experiments show that the proposed technique is very efficient in the performance of robust authentication.

In this paper, we suggest an authentication system for online lecture using facial information and a face recognition algorithm base on relation of face. First, a facial area on complex background is detected using color information. Second, features are extracted with edge profile. Third, compare it with the value of original facial image in database. By experiments, we know that the proposed system is an useful method for online lecture authentication system.

In this paper, we propose user authentication methods using a microphone and a speaker in smart phones. The proposed methods guarantee that the user is located close to the target device by transmitting the challenge via an audio channel. We propose two authentication methods; user authentication for a PC or a website using a smart phone as a hardware token, and user authentication to log on to a smart phone using a PC as a token. Because our methods use typical peripheral devices such as a microphone and a speaker, they do not require any special-purpose hardware equipment. In addition, the elderly and the handicapped can easily use our methods because the methods are activated by simple operations.

Authentication and authorization are essential functions for the security of distributed network environment. Authorization is determining and to decide whether a user or process is permitted to perform a particular operation. In this paper, we design an authorization mechanism to make a system more effective with Kerberos for authentication mechanism. In the authorization mechanism, Kerberos server operates proxy privilege server. Proxy privilege server manages and permits right of users, servers and services with using proposed algorithm. Also, privilege attribute certificate issued by proxy privilege server is used in delegation. We designed secure kerberos with proposed functions for effective authorization at the same time authentication of Kerberos mechanism.

Heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HEWSN) is a kind of wireless sensor networks (WSN), each sensor may has different attributes, HEWSN has been widely used in many aspects. Due to sensors are deployed in unattended environments and its resource constrained feature, the design of security and efficiency balanced authentication scheme for HEWSN becomes a vital challenge. In this paper, we propose a secure and lightweight user authentication and key agreement scheme based on biometric for HEWSN. Firstly, fuzzy extractor is adopted to handle the user's biometric information. Secondly, we achieve mutual authentication and key agreement among three entities, which are user, gateway and cluster head in the four phases. Finally, formal security analysis shows that the proposed scheme defends against various security pitfalls. Additionally, comparison results with other surviving relevant schemes show that our scheme is more efficient in term of computational cost, communication cost and estimated time. Therefore, the proposed scheme is well suitable for practical application in HEWSN.

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a host-based protocol supporting global mobility while Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) is a network-based protocol supporting localized mobility. This paper makes its focus on how to reduce the longer delay and extra cost arising from the combination of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) and PMIPv6 further. Firstly, a novel authentication scheme (Proxy-AAA) is proposed, which supports fast handover mode and forwarding mode between different local mobility anchors (LMAs). Secondly, a cost analysis model is established based on Proxy-AAA. From the theoretical analysis, it could be noted that the cost is affected by average arrival rate and residence time.

An arbitrary mobile device configures Ad-hoc network to provide the transmission of a data and services using wireless communications. A mobile device requires authentication and encryption key management to securely communicate in the Ad-hoc network. This paper examines the trend of the authentication in the Ad-hoc network and the group key management and suggests the plan for ID-based mutual authentication and group key establishment. ID-based mutual authentication in proposed scheme uses zero knowledge in the absence of shared information and is applied to establish a session key and group key. In addition, the proposed scheme is applied to Ad-hoc network to increase the efficiency and the safety of security technology.

In this paper, we present a security tool which called Digital Legal Seal. The Digital Legal Seal scans a barcode on a paper and print it with the tag generated by Hash-based Message Authentication Code(HMAC) in text format on a display device. The result of HMAC can be used for user authentication or secure message transmission on both online and offline. We examine not only how the Digital Legal Seal can make up the weak points of security card and OTP (One Time Password), but also the possibility of reducing the forgery of promissory note on offline.

Fingerprint authentication is the most popular biometric in smart devices. However it has vulnerability to fake fingerprints. This paper shows that it is possible to pass fingerprint authentication of smartphone by creating counterfeit fingerprint without approval of legitimate users. As a technical countermeasure to prevent such a smudge-based attack, there has been proposed an under-screen Touch ID with a slide bar, which is a method of removing the fingerprint trail by dragging the UI to the side after fingerprint authentication on the touch screen. In this paper, we analyze how the proposed attack method and mitigation are perceived by actual user through 61 user survey.
