  • Security has long been a challenging problem in wireless networks, mainly due to its broadcast nature of communication. This opens up simple yet effective measures to thwart useful communications between legitimate radios. Spread spectrum technologies, such as direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), have been developed as effective countermeasures against, for example, jamming attacks. This paper surveys previous research on securing a DSSS channel even further, using physical layer attributes-keyless DSSS mechanisms, and watermarked DSSS (WDSSS) schemes. The former has been motivated by the fact that it is still an open question to establish and share the secret spread sequence between the transmitter and the receiver without being noticed by adversaries. The basic idea of the latter is to exploit the redundancy inherent in DSSS's spreading process to embed watermark information. It can be considered a counter measure (authentication) for an intelligent attacker who obtains the spread sequence to generate fake messages. This paper also presents and evaluates an adaptive DSSS scheme that takes both jam resistance and communication efficiency into account.

  • Fog computing is another paradigm of the cloud computing, which extends the ubiquitous services to applications on many connected devices in the IoT (Internet of Things). In general, if we access a lot of IoT devices with existing cloud, we waste a huge amount of bandwidth and work efficiency becomes low. So we apply the paradigm called fog between IoT devices and cloud. The network architecture based on cloud and fog computing discloses the security and privacy issues according to mixed paradigm. There are so many security issues in many aspects. Moreover many IoT devices are connected at fog and they generate much data, therefore light and efficient security mechanism is needed. For example, with inappropriate encryption or authentication algorithm, it causes a huge bandwidth loss. In this paper, we consider issues related with data encryption and authentication mechanism in the network architecture for cloud and fog-based M2M (Machine to Machine) IoT services. This includes trusted encryption and authentication algorithm, and key generation method. The contribution of this paper is to provide efficient security mechanisms for the proposed service architecture. We implemented the envisaged conceptual security check mechanisms and verified their performance.

  • In order to investigate the relationship between HIV / AIDS and the malformed entertainment industry caused by the prostitution after the prostitution law, this paper visualizes the number of entertainment industry relative to the population density and the number of infected persons using the R program. Also, let's try to grasp the cause of whether any unexpected variable acts via correlation and whether the numerical value of HIV / AIDS-infected person is high in the vicinity of a secret store due to external factors. therefore, In order to create a healthy society, let us examine the goals and attitudes that we should aim for big data analysis through R, and discuss the areas that need further research in the future.

  • Thos paper summarized previously proposed several public key distribution systems and proposes a new public key distribution system to generate an common secret conference key for public key distribution systems three or more user. The now system is based on discrete exponentiation, that is all operations involve reduction modulo p for large prime p and we study some novel characteristics for computins multiplicative inverse in GF(p). We use one-way communication to distribute work keys, while the other uses two-way communication. The security of the new system is based on the difficulty of determining logarithms in a finite field GF(p) and stronger than Diffie-Hellman public key distribution system.

  • In this paper we propose a new group key renewal scheme suitable for secure mobile communications in which all members of the group can re-share the new group common key excepted a revoked member using a key distribution center(a trusted center). A renewal group key in the proposed scheme can be shared many times using pre-distributed data by a smart card without a preparation stage. This scheme is also avaliable for a large group network because the transmitted data amount after identifying the revoked member does not depend on a size of group. The secuirty of this scheme is based on the difficulty of the discrete logarithm problem.

  • To guarantee secure communication in wireless sensor networks, secret keys should be securely established between sensor nodes. Recently, a simple key distribution scheme has been proposed for pair-wise key establishment in sensor networks by Anderson, Chan, and Perrig. They defined a practical attack model for non-critical commodity sensor networks. Unfortunately, the scheme is vulnerable under their attack model. In this paper, we describe the vulnerability in their scheme and propose a modified one. Our scheme is secure under their attack model and the security of our scheme is proved. Furthermore, our scheme does not require additional communication overhead nor additional infrastructure to load potential keys into sensor nodes.

  • 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.

  • In cellular communication, subscriber authentication is an essential technique. The mobile station should operate in conjunction with the base station to authenticate the identity. In CDMA system, authentication is the process by which information is exchanged between a mobile station and base station for the purpose of confirming the mobile station. A successful authentication process means that the mobile station and base station process identical sets of shared secret data(SSD). SSD can be generated by authentication algorithms. The cryptographic hash function is a practical way of authentication algorithms. In this paper, we propose and implement MD5 and SHA-1 with modified structure.

  • Network coding is promising to maximize network throughput and improve the resilience to random network failures in various networking systems. In this paper, the problem of providing efficient confidentiality for practical network coding system against a global eavesdropper (with full eavesdropping capabilities to the network) is considered. By exploiting a novel combination between the construction technique of systematic Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) erasure coding and traditional cryptographic approach, two efficient schemes are proposed that can achieve the maximum possible rate and minimum encryption overhead respectively on top of any communication network or underlying linear network code. Every generation is first subjected to an encoding by a particular matrix generated by two (or three) Vandermonde matrices, and then parts of coded vectors (or secret symbols) are encrypted before transmitting. The proposed schemes are characterized by tunable and measurable degrees of security and also shown to be of low overhead in computation and bandwidth.

  • As the communication technology and mobile devices develop, the need for the efficient and secure remote storage is required. And recently, many companies support cloud storages to meet the requirements of the customers. Especially in the business field where various companies collaborate, data sharing is an essential functionality to enhance their work performance. However, existing researches have not fully satisfied the requirement either efficiency and security. This paper suggests efficient and secure data sharing scheme for cloud storage by using secret sharing scheme. Proposed scheme can be applied to business collaborations and team projects.
