Lightweight Encryption Based Security Package For Wireless Body Area Network, Sangwon Shin Jan 2021

Lightweight Encryption Based Security Package For Wireless Body Area Network, Sangwon Shin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As the demand of individual health monitoring rose, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) are becoming highly distinctive within health applications. Nowadays, WBAN is much easier to access then what it used to be. However, due to WBAN’s limitation, properly sophisticated security protocols do not exist. As WBAN devices deal with sensitive data and could be used as a threat to the owner of the data or their family, securing individual devices is highly important. Despite the importance in securing data, existing WBAN security methods are focused on providing light weight security methods. This led to most security methods for WBAN …


Work-In-Progress: Iot Device Signature Validation, Jeffrey Hemmes Oct 2019

Work-In-Progress: Iot Device Signature Validation, Jeffrey Hemmes

Regis University Faculty Publications

Device fingerprinting is an area of security that has received renewed attention in recent years, with a number of classification methods proposed that rely on characteristics unique to a particular vendor or device type. Current works are limited to determining device type for purposes of access control and MAC address spoof prevention. This work synthesizes multiple sources of information to verify device capabilities in a device profile, which can be used in a number of applications not limited to authentication and authorization. The approach proposed in this paper relies on existing protocols and methods proposed in the literature, using a …


A Secure And Effective Anonymous User Authentication Scheme For Roaming Service In Global Mobility Networks, Fengtong Wen, Willy Susilo, Guomin Yang Dec 2013

A Secure And Effective Anonymous User Authentication Scheme For Roaming Service In Global Mobility Networks, Fengtong Wen, Willy Susilo, Guomin Yang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In global mobility networks, anonymous user authentication is an essential task for enabling roaming service. In a recent paper, Jiang et al. proposed a smart card based anonymous user authentication scheme for roaming service in global mobility networks. This scheme can protect user privacy and is believed to have many abilities to resist a range of network attacks, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is compromised. In this paper, we analyze the security of Jiang et al.’s scheme, and show that the scheme is in fact insecure against the stolen-verifier attack and replay attack. Then, we …


Network Security: A Review Of Salient Security Aspects Of The Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (Umts), F. Imran, M. Hussain Jul 2011

Network Security: A Review Of Salient Security Aspects Of The Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (Umts), F. Imran, M. Hussain

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Wireless communication is known as key to global development. Wireless and mobile communication is gaining more importance in our life. Protecting information is one the aspects which we need to focus on the wireless networks. Universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) is evolution of the third generation mobile communication system. It was built on the success of global system for mobile communication (GSM). Universal mobile telecommunication system's security is also built on global system for mobile communication (GSM). The paper reviews the literature of the security aspects of the Universal mobile telecommunication system. A critical evaluation of the proposed solutions is …


Wireless Networks: Improved Secure Network Authentication Protocol (Isnap) For Ieee 802.16, Raheel M. Hashmi, Arooj M. Siddiqui, M. Jabeen, K. Shehzad, A. Zubair, K. S. Alimgeer Aug 2009

Wireless Networks: Improved Secure Network Authentication Protocol (Isnap) For Ieee 802.16, Raheel M. Hashmi, Arooj M. Siddiqui, M. Jabeen, K. Shehzad, A. Zubair, K. S. Alimgeer

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

Security is amongst one of the major issues in broadband wireless access (BWA) networks. After the launch of the IEEE 802.16 standard (WiMAX), a number of security issues were reported in several articles. Ever since the beginning, work has been in progress for the neutralization of these identified threats. In this paper, the analysis of the authentication protocols implemented in WiMAX has been presented along with the description of the threats posed to them. The paper also describes security sub-layer and limitations of the existing architecture. An approach has also been presented for the prevention of these threats like the …


Evolution Versus Revolution As A Strategy For Thin Client Acceptance: Case Study, Paul Doyle, Mark Deegan, Ciaran O'Driscoll Jul 2009

Evolution Versus Revolution As A Strategy For Thin Client Acceptance: Case Study, Paul Doyle, Mark Deegan, Ciaran O'Driscoll

Conference papers

Thin Clients have evolved from simple text based CRT dumb terminal devices in the 1960s, into a sophisticated architecture encompassing hardware, software, networks and protocols. However despite this recent evolution the Thin Client model has yet to re-emerge as a relevant design in an IT industry where Fat Clients (desktops and laptops) thrive. This paper describes two case studies performed within the Technological University Dublin School of Computing, focused on the issue of student acceptance of this technology. The first case study provides a dedicated single service Thin Client implementation, while the second case study adopts a process of coexistence …


Security Analysis And Improvement Of Return Routability Protocol, Ying Qiu, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng Sep 2005

Security Analysis And Improvement Of Return Routability Protocol, Ying Qiu, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Mobile communication plays a more and more important role in computer networks. How to authenticate a new connecting address belonging to a said mobile node is one of the key issues in mobile networks. This paper analyzes the Return Routability (RR) protocol and proposes an improved security solution for the RR protocol without changing its architecture. With the improvement, three types of redirect attacks can be prevented.
