    abstract = {Device removal from TC starts when TC transmits a remove-device command to ZA. ZA which
received the remove-device command, transmit a remove-device command back to ZB. When commands are
all transferred, TC deletes ZB from the device management list and all devices in the network delete their shared
keys with ZB. At this time, the remove-device command from TC is encrypted by LKA, however, the leave
command from ZA to ZB is not encrypted. The proposal from the thesis is as follows. First of all, make sure that
devices which transmitted a command have the capability to be identified by including MIC, a shared key
between two devices in the command that cannot ensure its integrity as it is not encrypted. Second, make
counterfeit and falsification of a command by other devices impossible through encryption of the command for
a removal process with a shared key between two devices. The result of the thesis as follows. First of all, upon
possible counterfeit and falsification of a command originating from a leave command which has not been
encrypted being transmitted from ZA to ZB, ensure the integrity of the command via encryption with LKAB
and allow the sender of the remove-device command to be identified as TC by including MIC (LKB) in the leave
command. Second by including MIC(LKB) value in the leave command, the sender of leave command can be
identified as ZB, then through encryption with LKAB, other devices which do not know the code are made
impossible to counterfeit or falsify the command. The improved proposal for device removal processes from
ZigBee network assumes that there is a key safely shared between devices. Hence, when the shared key is
exposed to other devices counterfeit and falsification becomes available with the key, further, other devices can
disguise themselves as proper devices. Thus, additional research is necessary to securely store and manage
the shared key.}
