In 2013, Li et al. proposed an improved smart card-based remote user password authentication scheme, and claimed that their scheme not only overcomes security weaknesses of the Chen et al.'s scheme but also is a more user friendly scheme compared with other schemes. In this paper, we analyze the security of Li et al.'s authentication scheme and we show that Li et al.'s authentication scheme is still insecure against the various attacks, such as the off-line password guessing attack, the forgery attack, and the session key generation attack etc. Also, we propose an improved scheme that can resist these security drawbacks of Li et al.'s authentication, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is revealed. As a result of security analysis, the improved scheme is relatively more secure against several attacks than other related schemes in terms of the security.

The IoT market continues to expand and grow, but the security threat to IoT devices is also increasing. However, it is difficult to apply the security technology applied to the existing system to IoT devices that have a problem of resource limitation. Therefore, in this paper, we present a service that can improve the security of IoT devices by presenting authentication and lightweight cryptographic algorithms that can reduce the overhead of applying security features, taking into account the nature of resource limitations of IoT devices. We want to apply these service to home network IoT equipment to provide security. The authentication and lightweight cryptographic algorithm application protocols presented in this paper have secured the safety of the service through the use of LEA encryption algorithms and secret key generation by users, IoT devices and server in the IoT environment. Although there is no difference in speed from randomly generating secret keys in experiments, we verify that the problem of resource limitation of IoT devices can be solved by additionally not applying logic for secret key sharing to IoT devices.

Although E-mail system is considered as a most important communication media, 'Spam' is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Therefore advanced anti-spam techniques are required to basically reduce its transmission volume on sender mail server or MTA, etc. In this study, we propose a new sender authentication model with encryption function based on modified DomainKey with SMS for Spam mail protection. From the SMS message, we can get secret information used for verification of its real sender on e-mail message. And by distributing this secret information with SMS like out-of-band channel, we can also combine proposed modules with existing PGP scheme for secure e-mail generation and authentication steps. Proposed scheme provide enhanced authentication function and security on Spam mail protection function because it is a 'dual mode' authentication mechanism.

The XTR public key system has advantage of short key length and fast computing speed. So, the XTR is used usefully in complicated operation. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm of double exponentiation operation and a proxy signature protocol based on the XTR. The double exponentiation operation should be executed to apply XTR for the proxy signature protocol. But this algorithm is inappropriate, because two secret key has to be blown in existent operation algorithm. New algorithm enable double exponentiation operation with proxy signer's secret key and public information. And the XTR is used to generation and verification of proxy at proxy signature protocol. Therefore proxy signature based on the XTR has basic advantage of the XTR. These advantage can be used in internet as well as mobile.

As Internet grows rapidly and next electronic commerce applications increase, the security is getting more important. Information security to provide secure and reliable information transfer is based on cryptography technique. The proposed ISEED(Improved SEED) algorithm based on block cryptography algorithm which belongs to secret-key algorithm. In terms of efficiency, the round key generation algorithm has been proposed to reduces the time required in encryption and decryption. The algorithm has been implemented as follow. 128-bit key is divided into two 64-bit group to rotate each of them 8-bit on the left side and right side, and then basic arithmetic operation and G function have been applied to 4-word outputs. In the process of converting encryption key which is required in decryption and encryption of key generation algorithm into sub key type, the conversion algorithm is analyzed. As a result, the time consumed to encryption and decryption is reduced by minimizing the number of plain text required differential analysis.

The fusion of Internet technology and applications with wireless communication provides a new business model and promises to extend the possibilities of commerce to what is popularly called mobile commerce, or m-commerce. In mobile Internet banking service through wireless local area network, security is a most important factor to consider. We describe the development of security service for mobile Internet banking on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Banking Server and Authentication Server were developed to simulate banking business and to support certificate management of authorized clients, respectively. To increase security, we took hybrid approach in implementation: symmetric block encryption and public-key encryption. Hash function and random number generation were exploited to generate a secret key. The data regarding banking service were encrypted with symmetric block encryption, RC4, and the random number sequence was done with public-key encryption. PDAs communicate through IEEE 802.IIb wireless LAN (Local Area Network) to access banking service. Several banking services and graphic user interfaces, which emulatedthe services of real bank, were developed to verity the working of each security service in PDA, the Banking Server, and the Authentication Server.

This paper describes an efficient hardware implementation of lightweight block cipher algorithm CLEFIA. The CLEFIA crypto-processor supports for three master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit, and it is based on the modified generalized Feistel network (GFN). To minimize hardware complexity, a unified processing unit with 8 bits data-path is designed for implementing GFN that computes intermediate keys to be used in round key scheduling, as well as carries out round transformation. The GFN block in our design is reconfigured not only for performing 4-branch GFN used for round transformation and intermediate round key generation of 128-bit, but also for performing 8-branch GFN used for intermediate round key generation of 256-bit. The CLEFIA crypto-processor designed in Verilog HDL was verified by using Virtex5 XC5VSX50T FPGA device. The estimated throughput is 81.5 ~ 60 Mbps with 112 MHz clock frequency.

The Internet of Things(IoT) security has more need than a technical problem as it needs series of regulations and faultless security system for common purposes. So, this study proposes an efficient key management in order that can be trusted IoT data in cloud computing. In contrast with a key distribution center of existing sensor networks, the proposed a federation key management of cloud proxy key server is not central point of administration and enables an active key recovery and update. The proposed key management is not a method of predetermined secret keys but sharing key information of a cloud proxy key server in autonomous cloud, which can reduce key generation and space complexity. In addition, In contrast with previous IoT key researches, a federation key of cloud proxy key server provides an extraction ability from meaningful information while moving data.

Recently, the Internet of Things are developing in accordance with the technology of implementation in low-cost, small-size, low power consumption and smart sensor that can communicate using the internet. Especially, key management researches for secure information transmission based on the Internet of Things (IoT) are actively performing. But, Internet of Things(IoT) are uses sensor. Therefore low-power consumption and small-memory are restrictive condition. As a result, managing the key is difficult as a general security measure. However, The problem of secure key management is an essential challenge For the continuous development of the Internet of things. In this paper, we propose a key distribution and management technique in secure Internet of things. In the key generation and management stage, it satisfies the conditions and without physically constrained for IoT based communication.
