Performance Improvement Based Authentication Protocol for Intervessel Traffic Service Data Exchange Format Protocol Based on U-Navigation System in WoT Environment

International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) is developing the standard intersystem VTS exchange format (IVEF) protocol for exchange of navigation and vessel information between VTS systems and between VTS and vessels. VTS (vessel traffic system) is an important marine traffic monitoring system which is designed to improve the safety and efficiency of navigation and the protection of the marine environment. And the demand of Inter-VTS networking has been increased for realization of e-Navigation as shore side collaboration for maritime safety. And IVEF (inter-VTS data exchange format) for inter-VTS network has become a hot research topic of VTS system. Currently, the IVEF developed by the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) does not include any highly trusted certification technology for the connectors. The output of standardization is distributed as the IALA recommendation V-145, and the protocol is implemented with an open source. The IVEF open source, however, is the code used to check the functions of standard protocols. It is too slow to be used in the field and requires a large memory. And the vessel traffic information requires high security since it is highly protected by the countries. Therefore, this paper suggests the authentication protocol to increase the security of the VTS systems using the main certification server and IVEF

Importance of communication and information technology and its applications in the development and integration of performance in seaports

Abstract:The maritime industry is a global transporter of the goods of modern globalized economies. Shipping plays a vital role in today’s economy, with over 90% of the world’s trade carried by sea[1].The efficient transportation of cargoes impact on both consumers and the global economy.In order to improve the safety and efficiency of maritime transport and the protection of the sea and marine environment, it is inevitable to use modern information and communication technologies when collecting, storing, processing, presenting and distributing relevant data and information to the participants in maritime transport. The Smart Port used information technology (IT) extensively to create a high-tech port.The key factors contributing to the success of the IT and communication infrastructure in the Smart port are the  ability to meet the changing demands of users and to keep up with the rapid developments in IT and the ability to accommodate new technology developments without having to constantly restructure.This paper presented the key issues related to navigation systems, communication networks and information technology and its applications to secure the ships and the development of business performance for the transfer and circulation of goods within the seaports with high efficiency and the impact of this on the national economy.</p
