PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) which is used for the security of E-commerce (Electronic-commerce) in wired internet is not suitable for the mobile phone because of the fundamental limitation of performance such as less memory and less powerful CPU. Therefore, we need to develop a wireless PKI (WPKI) that provides the similar security level as the wired PKI supporting mobile phone. In this paper, we propose a lightweight and secure Wireless Certificate Management Protocol (WCMP) that is executable to the mobile phone that has a constrained communication environment and limitation of performance, and show the implementation results of the scheme based on the mobile phone. We minimize data sizes processed in mobile phone, and optimize protocols for the certificate management. This results in the reduced module sizes to be able to install in mobile phone and shows as the same level as the wired CMP.

The Mobile Ad-hoc network does environmental information which an individual collects in nodes which are many as the kernel of the USN technology based on the radio communication. And it is the latest network description delivering critical data to the destination location desiring through a multi-hop. Recently, the Ad-hoc network relative technique development and service are activated. But the security function implementation including an authentication and encoding about the transmitted packets, and etc, is wirelessly the insufficient situation on the Ad-hoc network. This paper provides the security service of key exchange, key management. entity authentication, data enciphering, and etc on the Mobile Ad-hoc network. It implements with the Ad-hoc network security management server system design which processes the security protocol specialized in the Ad-hoc network and which it manages.

IPSec is a security protocol suite that provides encryption and authentication services for IP messages at the network layer of the Internet. Key recovery has been the subject of a lot of discussion, of much controversy and of extensive research. Key recovery, however, might be needed at a corporate level, as a from of key management. The basic observation of the present paper is that cryptographic solutions that have been proposed so far completely ignore the communication context. Static systems are put forward fur key recovery at network layer and solutions that require connections with a server are proposed at application layer. We propose example to provide key recovery capability by adding key recovery information to an IP datagram. It is possible to take advantage of the communication environment in order to design key recovery protocols that are better suited and more efficient.

It is very difficult to apply previous security protocols to WSNs(Wireless Sensor Networks) directly because WNSs have resource constrained characteristics such as a low computing ability, power, and a low communication band width. In order to overcome the problem, we proposes a secure group communication scheme applicable to WSNs. The proposed scheme is a combined form of the TEEN(Threshold sensitive Energy Efficient sensor Network protocol) clustering based hierarchical routing protocol and security mechanism, and we assume that WSNs are composed of sensor nodes, cluster headers, and base stations. We use both private key and public key cryptographic algorithms to achieve an enhanced security and an efficient key management. In addition, communications among sensor nodes, cluster headers, and base stations are accomplished by a hierarchical tree architecture to reduce power consumption. Therefore, the proposed scheme in this paper is well suited for WSNs since our design can provide not only a more enhanced security but also a lower power consumption in communications.

Internet of Things technology is an intelligent service that connects all objects to the Internet and interacts with them. It is a technology that can be used in various fields, such as device management, process management, monitoring of restricted areas for industrial systems, as well as for navigation in military theaters of operation. However, because all devices are connected to the Internet, various attacks using security vulnerabilities can cause a variety of damage, such as economic loss, personal information leaks, and risks to life from vulnerability attacks against medical services or for military purposes. Therefore, in this paper, a mutual authentication method and a key-generation and update system are applied by applying S/Key technology based on a hash chain in the communications process. A mutual authentication method is studied, which can cope with various security threats. The proposed protocol can be applied to inter-peer security communications, and we confirm it is robust against replay attacks and man-in-the-middle attacks, providing data integrity against well-known attacks in the IoT environment.

Smart healthcare systems, a convergent industry based on information and communications technologies (ICT), has emerged from personal health management to remote medical treatment as a distinguished industry. The smart healthcare environment provides technology to deliver vital information, such as pulse rate, body temperature, health status, and so on, from wearable devices to the hospital network where the physician is located. However, since it deals with the patient's personal medical information, there is a security issue for personal information management, and the system may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks in wireless networks. Therefore, this study focuses on a key-development and device-management system to generate keys in the smart environment to safely manage devices. The protocol is designed to provide safe communications with the generated key and to manage the devices, as well as the generated key. The security level is analyzed against attack methods that may occur in a healthcare environment, and it was compared with existing key methods and coding capabilities. In the performance evaluation, we analyze the security against attacks occurring in a smart healthcare environment, and the security and efficiency of the existing key encryption method, and we confirmed an improvement of about 15%, compared to the existing cipher systems.

정보화 사회가 도래하면서 정보보호의 중요성이 강조되고 있으며, 정보보호 서비스를 제공하기 위한 기반 구조로써 공개키 기반 구조가 구축되어 사용되고 있다. 공개키 기반 구조는 공개키 암호 방식을 사용하는 암호시스템에서 사용자의 공개키를 안전하고 신뢰성 있게 관리하는 수단을 제공한다. 그러나 사용자들의 개인키에 대한 관리 기술은 미비한 실정이다. 최근들어 암호 프로토콜을 이용하여 개인키를 안전하게 관리하기 위한 개인키 관리(PKM; Public Key Management) 프로토콜이 연구되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 공개키 암호 기술에서 사용되는 개인키를 안전하게 관리하고, 키로밍 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 새로운 PKM 프로토콜을 제안하였다.

Receiver access control scheme is proposed to protect multicast distribution tree from DoS(Denial-of Service) attack induced by unauthorized use of IGMP(Internet group management protocol), by extending the security-related functionality of IGMP. Based on a specific network and business model adopted for commercial deployment of IP multicast applications, key management scheme is also presented for bootstrapping the proposed access control as well as accounting and billing for CP(Content Provider), NSP(Network Service Provider), and group members.

PMI(Privilege Management Infrastructure) certificates as well as Public-Key certificates must be validated before being used. Validation for a PMI certificate requires PMI certificate path validation, and PKC(Public-Key Certificate) path validations for each entity in the PMI certificate path. This validation work is quite complex and burdened to PMI certificate verifiers. Therefore, this paper suggests a delegated PMI certificate validation that uses specialized validation server, and defines a validation protocol which is used between validation server and client.
