Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service is the convergence service of the telecommunication and broadcasting that provides various bidirectional multimedia contents by IPTV service subscribe's request through the high-speed internet. However, the proposed technologies current do not guarantee the security such as authentication between Set-Top-Box (STB) and the user mobile devices available IPTV service at home domain, and authentication of mobile user device at out of door. This paper proposes the authentication protocol for distributing content securely from STB to the users' mobile devices at home domain and authentication for network access and IPTV service access when the user's mobile device is moved out of the house. The proposed scheme using the proxy signature enables to distribute and protect securely the contents protected through an underlying Conditional Access System (CAS) without re-encrypting then that the existing scheme should employ. Then this protocol supports the authentication scheme to get service access authentication based on network access authentication using the signature, which the STB issued on behalf of the trust authority of IPTV service provider. Also the proposed authentication protocol reduces the total communication overhead and computation time comparing to the other authentication protocol.

Authentication is needed to use safe devices in the home network environment. In this authentication, there are an ID base form and Certification base form. In case of an ID base form, it is difficult to apply to the multi domain environment and in case of an Certification base form, because the way that contains and stores the certificate demand on devices, additional setting of the user is needed for transfer of ownership and purchase of new devices, and more. Because both ways attend an individual authentication for devices, the ways exist overhead as the frequent authentication for a lot of devices in service aspects of user needs. To arrange these problems, in this paper, the authentication information of devices can be securely stored and managed in the java card and a processing time of the authentication could be improved better then the existing technique by authenticating a group of service.

Recently, biometrics and location information are being used for authentication in many devices. However, these information are stored as plaintext in safe device or, stored as ciphertext in authentication server it is used for authentication in plaintext by decrypting. Therefore, the leakage of authentication information as well as hacking can cause fatal privacy problems. In this paper, we propose a technique that can be authenticated without exposing authentication information to ciphertext using function encryption.

Home network is a network composed of devices in home and is being expanded by evolving devices. Also, The number of digital contents in home network has been increasing steadily. But it is difficult to continually protect the rights of digital contents due to lack of interoperability among contents devices. Besides, a license has to be re-issued by DRM sever for contents transfer between devices. Thus, this paper proposes framework which can freely transfer and contents to another device through mutual device authentication and a system that can decrease overload of license management of the DRM sever and that enable device outside home network to use contents through user authentication.

In IEEE 802.15.4 (Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) specification, a successful reception and validation of a data or MAC command frame can be confirmed with an acknowledgment. However, the specification does not support security for acknowledgment frame; the lack of a MAC covering acknowledgments allows an adversary to forge an acknowledgment for any frame. This paper proposes an identity authentication mechanism at the link layer for acknowledgment frame in IEEE 802.15.4 network. With the proposed mechanism there is only three bits for authentication, which can greatly reduce overhead of device. The encrypted bit stream for identity authentication will be transmitted to device by coordinator within association process. Statistical method and simulation results prove that our mechanism is successful in handling MAC layer attack.

A mobile ad hoc network(MANET) is a network where a set of mobile devices communicate among themselves using wireless transmission without the support of a fixed network infrastructure. The use of wireless links makes MANET susceptible to attack. Eavesdroppers can access secret information, violating network confidentiality, and compromised nodes can launch attack from within a network. Therefore, the security for MANET depends on using the cryptographic key, which can make the network reliable. In addition, because MANET has a lot of mobile devices, the authentication scheme utilizing only the symmetric key cryptography can not support a wide range of device authentication. Thereby, PKI based device authentication technique in the Ad Hoc network is essential and the paper will utilize the concept of PKI. Especially, this paper is focused on the key management technique of PKI technologies that can offer the advantage of the key distribution, authentication, and non-reputation, and the issuing and managing technique of certificates based on clustering using Threshold Cryptography for secure communication in MANET.

With the development of IT technology recently, medical information systems are being constructed in an integrated u-health environment through cloud services, IoT technologies, and mobile applications. These kinds of medical information systems should provide the medical staff with authorities to access patients' medical information for emergency status treatments or therapeutic purposes. Therefore, in the medical information systems, the reliable and prompt authentication processes are necessary to access the biometric information and the medical information of the patients in charge of the medical staff. However, medical information systems are accessing with simple and static user authentication mechanism using only medical ID / PWD in the present system environment. For this reason, in this paper, we suggest a dynamic situation authentication mechanism that provides transparency of medical information access including various authentication factors considering patient's emergency status condition and dynamic situation authentication system supporting it. Our dynamic Situation Authentication is a combination of user authentication and mobile device authentication, which includes various authentication factor attributes such as emergency status, role of medical staff, their working hours, and their working positions and so forth. We designed and implemented a dynamic situation authentication system including emergency status decision, dynamic situation authentication, and authentication support DB construction. Finally, in order to verify the serviceability of the suggested dynamic situation authentication system, the medical staffs download the mobile application from the medical information server to the medical staff's own mobile device together with the dynamic situation authentication process and the permission to access medical information to the patient and showed access to medical information.

The device to device (D2D) communication is an important and emerging area for future cellular networks. It is concerned about all aspect of secure data transmission between end devices along with originality of the data. In this paradigm, the major concerns are about how keys are delivered between the devices when the devices require the cryptographic keys. Another major concern is how effectively the receiver device verifies the data sent by the sender device which means that the receiver checks the originality of the data. In order to fulfill these requirements, the proposed system able to derive a cryptographic key using a single secret key and these derived keys are securely transmitted to the intended receiver with procedure called mutual authentication. Initially, derived keys are computed by applying robust procedure so that any adversary feel difficulties for cracking the keys. The experimental results shows that both sender and receiver can identify themselves and receiver device will decrypt the data only after verifying the originality of the data. Only the devices which are mutually authenticated each other can interchange the data so that entry of the intruder node at any stage is not possible.

Recent, development of wireless communication devices are rapidly and these device being deployed to the user very fast. By this results, a wired network device and the new device such as wireless devices incorporate. Then a demand of new mesh network is rapidly growing. In this wired/wireless integrated network environment, the network is configured automatically, and a user or wireless communication devices must be provided for authentication services. But, these services do not in the real world. Therefore, in this paper, we propose that wired/wireless integrated network environment to automatically configure the network using OpenFlow and the authentication system using Kerberos method. Our proposed system to be able to provide authentication services, confidentiality, integrity services for user or wired/wireless communication devices. And it can be prvented as well to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Recently, the use of sensor devices is gradually increasing. As various sensor device emerge and the related technologies advance, there has been a dramatic increase in the interest in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (WSNs). While sensor device provide us many valuable benefits, automatically and remotely supported services offered and accessed remotely through WSNs also exposes us to many different types of security threats. Most security threats were just related to information leakage and the loss of authentication among the involved parties: users, sensors and gateways. An user authentication protocol for wireless sensor networks is designed to restrict access to the sensor data only to user. In 2019, Chen et al. proposed an efficient user authentication protocol. However, Ryu et al. show that it's scheme still unstable and inefficient. It cannot resist offline password guessing attack and session key attack. In this paper, we propose an improved protocol to overcome these security weaknesses by storing secret data in device. In addition, security properties like session-key security, perfect forward secrecy, known-key security and resistance against offline password attacks are implied by our protocol.
