In this paper, we proposed hybrid cryptosystem of Diffie-Hellman base in Elliptic Curve, and explained for specific protocol design. The proposed system is efficient hybrid cryptosystems system that offer implicit key authentication about sender and receiver unlike existing hybrid system. This system increased safety generating session key using pseudo-random number generator by cryptographic. Because the system is hybrid system, it is more efficient in calculation amount aspect supplementing merit and fault of public key system and secret key system. Also, the system can not get right plaintext except receiver even if sender's secret key is revealed and impersonation attack is impossible. And the system offers security on known keys without influencing in safety of other session's cryptogram even if session key is exposed. And the system is provided safety about mutual entity authentication and replay attack.

In this raper, we propose two simple and efficient key agreement protocols, called SEKA-H and SEKA-E, which use a pre-shared password between two parties for mutual authentication and agreeing a common session key. The SEKA-H protocol uses a hash function to verify an agreed session key. The SEKA-E Protocol, a variant of SEKA-H, uses an exponentiation operation in the verification phase. They are secure against the man-in-the-middle attack the password guessing attack and the Denning-Sacco attack and provide the perfect forward secrecy. The SEKA-H protocol is very simple in structure and provides good efficiency compared with other well-known protocols. The SEKA-E protocol is also comparable with the previous protocols.

Password authentication schemes (PAS) are the most common mechanisms used to ensure secure communication in open networks. Mathematical-based cryptographic authentication schemes such as factorization and discrete logarithms have been proposed and provided strong security features, but they have the disadvantage of high computational and message transmission costs required to construct passwords. Fairuz et al. therefore argued for an improved cryptographic authentication scheme based on two difficult fixed issues related to session key consent using the smart card scheme. However, in this paper, we have made clear through security analysis that Fairuz et al.'s protocol has security holes for Privileged Insider Attack, Lack of Perfect Forward Secrecy, Lack of User Anonymity, DoS Attack, Off-line Password Guessing Attack.

With the diverse services of the current M2M environment being expanded to the organizations, the corporations, and the daily lives, the possibility of the occurrence of the vulnerabilities of the security of the related technologies have become an issue. In order to solve such a problem of the vulnerability of the security, this thesis proposes the technique for applying the cryptography algorithm for the protection of the device key of the M2M environment. The proposed technique was based on the elliptic curve cryptography Through the key exchange and the signature exchange in the beginning, the security session was created. And the white box cipher was applied to the encryption that creates the white box table using the security session key. Application results cipher algorithm, Elliptic Curve Cryptography provides a lightweight mutual authentication, a session key for protecting the communication session and a conventional white-box cipher algorithm and was guaranteed the session key used to encrypt protected in different ways. The proposed protocol has secure advantages against Data modulation and exposure, MITM(Man-in-the-middle attack), Data forgery and Manipulation attack.

Recently, user authentication schemes using smart cards for multi-server environment have been proposed for practical applications. In 2009, Liao-Wang proposed a secure dynamic ID based remote user authentication scheme for multi-server environment that can withstand the various possible attacks and provide user anonymity. In this paper, we analyze the security of Liao-Wang's scheme, and we show that Liao-Wang's scheme is still insecure against the forgery attack, the password guessing attack, the session key attack, and the insider attack. In addition, Liao-Wang's scheme does not provide user anonymity between the user and the server.

This paper proposes a new session key agreement scheme which is based on Station-to-station protocol, or STS shortly. We extend key agreement model of STS, to take into account smart cards. Besides, we modify STS to withstand message replaying attack. Security analysis shows our scheme is still secure.

Recently, there are many researches on sharing group session key for members in a group. Among them, Harn and Lin proposed a scheme based on the Shamir's group session key and Liu, Cheng, Cao, and Jiang improved it to reduce the specific weakness. Especially, these schemes are based on the finite integer ring to protest the insider attack, in which a valid member can derived another member's secret using known information. In this paper, it is shown that the finite integer ring implies the failure of the reconstruction of group session key depending on the adopted parameters. We fix this problem and propose new group session key transfer scheme using the Shamir's secret sharing.

The Diffle-Hellman Key Exchange scheme can produce a common session key between the two communicators, but its problem is that it makes a man-in-the middle attack possible. To solve problems like these, several protocols have been put forward, and the Simple Authenticated Key Agreement (SAKA) Protocol is among them. This protocol has been suggested by Seo-Sweeney, Tseng, and Ku-Wang, respectively, In this paper, we will put forward a new protocol that has been improved from all the original protocols mentioned above, but is still safe and quick to use, While the existing protocol divides the common session key production stage and the verification stage, the protocol suggested in this paper takes care of both of those stages simultaneously, therefore improving the processing performance.

Recently, lots of users are using wireless LAN providing authentication and confidentiality with security mechanism such as WEP, WPA. But, weakness of each security mechanism was discovered and attack methods that user's information was exposed or modified to the third parties with it and abused by them were suggested. In this paper, we analyzed architecture of security mechanisms in wireless LAN and performed PSK cracking attack and cookie session hijacking attack with the known vulnerability. And, an improved 4-way handshake mechanism which can counter PSK cracking attack and a cookie replay detection mechanism which can prevent cookie session hijacking attack were proposed. Proposed mechanisms are expected to apply to establish more secure wireless LAN environment by countering existing vulnerability.

This paper proposes the design of protocol management system for aggregationg messages based on certification between vehicles which not only prevents the messages between vehicles from being forged and altered by Sybil attack by authenticating the them, and but also provides the efficient communication by aggregating the redundant vehicle messages which frequently happens when communicating. For this, the proposed system proposes the SKLC(Session Key Local Certificate) design which is a local certificate based on a session key, and the MAP(Message Aggregation Protocol) design which aggregates the redundant vehicle messages. Therefore, when the proposed system checks the certificate of vehicle, it provides the reliable information securely by verifying the integrity of vehicle with a hash function operation, and improves communication efficiency by reducing the processing time.
