A Study on Scalable Bluetooth Piconet for Secure Ubiquitous
Due to the changes in the wireless information environment, there has been an increased demand for various types of information. Accordingly, many wireless communication technologies have been studied and developed. In particular, studies on ubiquitous close distance communications are well underway. Lately, the focus has been on the Bluetooth technology due to its applicability in various environments. Applying Bluetooth connectivity to new environments such as ubiquitous or sensor networks requires finding new ways of using it. Thus, this research analyzed the vulnerability on the limited number of slaves in a piconet configuration through the current Bluetooth communication and proposed an expanded Bluetooth piconet formation method, regardless of the number of slaves inside the piconet even if it is not configured in a scatternet. In the proposed method, a security service was applied and the vulnerabilities of the current piconet configured as an expanded form of the current tree-shaped structure.

A Study on Efficient Key Distribution and Renewal in Broadcast Encryption
The method of broadcast encryption has been applied to the transmission of digital information such as multimedia, software, and paid TV on the open network. In this broadcast encryption method, only previously authorized users can gain access to digital information. When broadcast message is transmitted, authorized users can first decode the session key using the previously given private key and get digital information using this session key. This way, users retrieve a message or a session key using the key transmitted by broadcasters. For their part, broadcasters need to generate and distribute keys. Broadcasters should also carry out efficient key renewal when users subscribe or unsubscribe. This paper introduces how to generate and distribute key efficiently and how key renewal works. The proposal uses two methods: (1) the server generates keys without the consent of users by anticipating users, and; (2) the server and users generate keys by mutual agreement. The advantage of the two proposed methods is that the receiver can decode broadcast message using a secret key. Even if the key is renewed later, the user can efficiently renew using only a single set of information.

A Study on Key Distribution and ID Registration in the AAA System for Ubiquitous Multimedia Environments
Media environment has been rapidly changed these days. Internet provides multimedia environment and has become a part of our everyday life as a new advertisement media. Authentication methods typically involve an authentication server in the home network from the authentication server of the external network, and then the external network is notified with the authentication result in the home authentication server. This paper discusses and proposes a key distribution protocol that ca be used when the user moves the external network and to ensure secure communication with the external authentication server. As the proposed technology does not receive the reissue of authentication from the home authentication server in case moving between the external authentications servers, authentication server overload can be reduced and the home network can be made to issue the key using the registered password.

A study on contents distribution using electronic cash system
Electronic cash systems are used as payment tools of e-commerce. They should be equipped with independence, transferability, and dividability, which are requirements of digital rights management (DRM) servicing contents. The contents can be recognized in terms of money. Its concept applies to reprint, copy, and anonymous users. This paper shows DRM model which adopted e-cash as a result of examining requirements of e-cash and DRM. The DRM introduces the hierarchical structure, and gives anonymity to the contents or users. Lastly, several methods proposed are examined, compared and analyzed.

Authentication for Single/Multi Domain in Ubiquitous Computing Using Attribute Certification
The Ubiquitous computer environment is thing which invisible computer that is not shown linked mutually through network so that user may use computer always is been pervasive. Intend computing environment that can use easily as user wants and it is the smart environment that user provides context awareness that is wanting computing environment. This Ubiquitous computing contains much specially weak side in security. Masquerade attack of that crawl that is quoted to user or server among device that is around user by that discrete various computing devices exist everywhere among them become possible. Hereupon, in this paper, proposed method that has following characteristic. Present authentication model through transfer or device. Suggest two method that realize authentication through device in case of moved to method (MD: Multi Domain) and user ownself space (SD: Single Domain) that realize authentication through device in case of moved user's direct path who device differs.

Instruction level redundant number computations for fast data intensive processing in asynchronous processors
Instruction level parallelism (ILP) is strictly limited by various dependencies. In particular, data dependency is a major performance bottleneck of data intensive applications. In this paper we address acceleration of the execution of instruction codes serialized by data dependencies. We propose a new computer architecture supporting a redundant number computation at the instruction level. To design and implement the scheme, an extended data-path and additional instructions are also proposed. The architectural exploitation of instruction level redundant number computations (IL-RNC) makes it possible to eliminate carry propagations. As a result execution of instructions which are serialized due to inherent data dependencies is accelerated. Simulations have been performed with data intensive processing benchmarks and the proposed architecture shows about a 1.2-1.35 fold speedup over a conventional counterpart. The proposed architecture model can be used effectively for data intensive processing in a microprocessor, a digital signal processor and a multimedia processor.

Discontinuity Detection and Thresholding-A Stochastic Approach
We study discontinuity detection and thresholding using a stochastic approach. We discuss a general form of detectors, which includes a number of well known detectors as special cases. Thresholding is indispensable to eliminate spurious responses from the detection process. We propose a Weighted Thresholding, which is designed to cope with a variety of anomalies. Our analysis and experimental results on real images show that intelligent thresholding methods can make a significant difference for discontinuity detection.

Fault Detection of Hierarchical Networks with Probabilistic Testing Algorithms
As communications networks are expanding to larger areas the control and maintenance of routing information are becoming a formidable task. To cope with its size and complexity and to make the network reliable and scalable hierarchical network has been proposed with new features to support the information infrastructure. However, the network hierarchy adds more complications to the network design and implementations and that hampers the network reliability and quality of services. Conformance testing is known to be a powerful tool for network fault detection yet most of the works in the published literature are on networks without hierarchy. We present probabilistic algorithms for testing hierarchical networks along with the added features. Based on a formal model of the networks, we provide a formal analysis that shows that our probabilistic algorithms guarantee a high fault coverage with a feasible number of tests. To further reduce the number of tests we identify test equivalence classes and that enables us to significantly reduce the number of tests yet without losing the fault coverage. Experimental results on Internet OSPF protocol are reported.

A formal approach for passive testing of protocol data portions
Passive testing is a process of detecting faults in a system under test by passively observing its input/output behaviors only without interrupting its normal operations, and proves to be a promising technique for network fault management. We study passive testing of data portions of network protocols and present two algorithms, using an event-driven extended finite state machine model. Experimental results on the Internet routing protocol OSPF (open shortest path first) are reported.
