Abstract EN
Including mobile environment, conventional security mechanisms have been adapted to satisfy the needs of users.
However, the device environment-IoT-based number of connected devices is quite different to the previous traditional desktop PC- or mobile-based environment.
Based on the IoT, different kinds of smart and mobile devices are fully connected automatically via device controller, such as smartphone.
Therefore, controller must be secure compared to conventional security mechanism.
According to the existing security threats, these are quite different from the previous ones.
Thus, the countermeasures applied should be changed.
However, the smart device-based authentication techniques that have been proposed to date are not adequate in terms of usability and security.
From the viewpoint of usability, the environment is based on mobility, and thus devices are designed and developed to enhance their owners’ efficiency.
Thus, in all applications, there is a need to consider usability, even when the application is a security mechanism.
Typically, mobility is emphasized over security.
However, considering that the major characteristic of a device controller is deeply related to its owner’s private information, a security technique that is robust to all kinds of attacks is mandatory.
In this paper, we focus on security.
First, in terms of security achievement, we investigate and categorize conventional attacks and emerging issues and then analyze conventional and existing countermeasures, respectively.
Finally, as countermeasure concepts, we propose several representative methods.
