Abstract: A method of security management of a wireless mobile device interoperating with a network switching center (NSC) is provided, and an apparatus using the method. The method includes respectively managing a traffic map by each service-level, wherein wireless mobile devices frequently communicating with other wireless mobile devices are grouped and stored as a group, among wireless mobile devices on a network, detecting a wireless mobile device determined to be associated with at least any one of a security attack and a malicious code by analyzing data traffic received from a network switching center, and isolating up to all wireless mobile devices within the group in which the detected wireless mobile device is included, from the network by referring to the traffic map.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for reducing time taken for generating a digital signature and generating the digital signature using a minimum number of operations using at least two secret keys. One secret key among at least two secret keys may be set from a value resulting from hashing a message to be transmitted. A number of times for hashing the secret key is determined, and a value resulting from hashing the determined secret key by the determined hashing number of times is set as the digital signature.

Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for generating and validating a digital signature. The apparatus for generating the digital signature includes: a converter converting a message to be transmitted into a codeword having a set length using a Griesmer code; and a digital signature generator allowing each of bits constituting the codeword to correspond to one of a plurality of secret keys constituting a table and combining the corresponding secret keys to generate the digital signature. The apparatus for validating the digital signature includes: a converter converting a received message into a codeword having a set length using a Griesmer code; and a digital signature validator allowing each of bits constituting the codeword to correspond to one of a plurality of public keys constituting a table and validating whether a value obtained by combining the corresponding public keys is equal to a value obtained by hashing the digital signature.

Abstract: A method for assigning conditional access system (CAS) keys to a terminal to thus reduce the number of entitlement management messages (EMMs) required to send contents to a digital broadcast subscriber. To this end, a broadcast center causes transmission of the CAS-related key to limit access to the digital content, over a mobile communication network used for a mobile communication, and causes transmission of the digital content over a digital broadcasting network used for digital broadcasts. Since the CAS-related key is transmitted to the digital broadcast subscriber's terminal over the mobile communication network, it is possible to effectively utilize the frequency bandwidth of the digital broadcasting network for the digital broadcasting. Furthermore, the security of the CAS-related key can be strengthened by sending the CAS-related key to the terminal over the mobile communication network.

Abstract: A data encryption method using a public key includes encoding data into a first code using a first public key, selecting a predetermined error vector, encoding the selected error vector into a second code using a second public key, and generating a ciphertext by adding the first and second codes. A corresponding decryption method includes performing first decoding of the ciphertext using a first set of a plurality of secret keys, determining locations of errors in the result of the first decoding using a second set of the plurality of secret keys and declaring erasures to the locations, performing second decoding according to a predetermined decoding algorithm and correcting a predetermined number of errors and the declared erasures, and detecting data from a result of correcting the errors and erasures.

Abstract: An encryption method for encrypting data for multi-level access control in an ad-hoc network including hierarchical security classes includes encoding data into a predetermined code using a first public key of a highest security class, adding a private key of a security class to which a user belongs, to the predetermined code, and generating a ciphertext by adding a second public key, published by the security class to which the user belongs, to the addition result. A corresponding decryption method includes subtracting the private key from the ciphertext, performing a first decoding using a secret key known by a security class, to which a receiver belongs, by the receiver of the ciphertext, and correcting errors included in the second public key and detecting the data by performing a second decoding of the result of the first decoding using a code known by the security class to which the receiver belongs.

Abstract: A weighted secret sharing and reconstructing method includes encoding the secret using a predetermined code, producing voices so that different weights are assigned to errors in an error vector according to locations of the errors, encrypting the encoded secret using the error vector and distributing the encrypted encoded secret to a plurality of participants.
