Group key agreement protocols are designed to provide a group of parties securely communicating over a public network with a session key. The mobile computing architecture is asymmetric in the sense of computational capabilities of participants. That is, the protocol participants consist of the stationary server(application servers) with sufficient computational Power and a cluster of mobile devices(clients) with limited computational resources. It is desirable to minimize the amount of computation performed by each group member in a group involving low-power mobile devices such as smart cards or personal digital assistants(PDAs). Furthermore we are required to update the group key with low computational costs when the members need to be excluded from the group or multiple new members need to be brought into an existing group. In this paper, we propose a dynamic group key protocol which offers computational efficiency to the clients with low-power mobile devices. We compare the total communicative and computational costs of our protocol with others and prove its suity against a passive adversary in the random oracle model.

전 세계적으로 악성코드는 하루 100만개 이상이 새롭게 발견되고 있으며, 악성코드 발생량은 해마다 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 공격자는 보안장비에서 악성코드가 탐지되는 것을 우회하기 위해 기존 악성코드를 변형한 변종 악성코드를 주로 이용한다. 변종 악성코드는 자동화된 제작도구나 기존 악성코드의 코드를 재사용하므로 비교적 손쉽게 생성될 수 있어 최근 악성코드 급증의 주요 원인으로 지목되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대량으로 발생하는 악성코드의 효과적인 대응을 위한 행위기반 악성코드 프로파일링 시스템 프로토타입을 제안한다. 동일한 변종 악성코드들은 실제 행위가 유사한 특징을 고려하여 악성코드가 실행되는 과정에서 호출되는 API 시퀀스 정보를 이용하여 악성코드 간 유사도 분석을 수행하였다. 유사도 결과를 기반으로 대량의 악성코드를 자동으로 그룹분류 해주는 시스템 프로토타입을 구현하였다. 악성코드 그룹별로 멤버들 간의 유사도를 전수 비교하므로 그룹의 분류 정확도를 객관적으로 제시할 수 있다. 실제 유포된 악성코드를 대상으로 악성코드 그룹분류 기능과 정확도를 측정한 실험에서는 평균 92.76%의 분류 성능을 보였으며, 외부 전문가 의뢰에서도 84.13%로 비교적 높은 분류 정확도를 보였다.

In this paper, we present two verifier-based multi-party PAKE (password-authenticated key exchange) protocols. The shared key can be used for secure content transmission. The suggested protocols are secure against server compromise attacks. Our first protocol is designed to provide forward secrecy and security against known-key attacks. The second protocol is designed to additionally provide key secrecy against the server which means that even the server can not know the session keys of the users of a group. The suggested protocols have a constant number of rounds are provably secure in the standard model. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed protocols are the first secure multi-party PAKE protocols against server compromise attacks in the literature.

Messenger applications applied end-to-end encryption on their own to prevent message exposure to servers. Standardization of a group messaging protocol called Message Layer Security (MLS) with end-to-end encryption is being discussed for secure and efficient message communication. This paper performs safety checks based on the operation process and security requirements of MLS. Confidentiality to a middleman server, which is an essential security requirement in messenger communication, can be easily violated by a server administrator. We define a server administrator who is curious about the group's communication content as a curious admin and present an attack in which the admin obtains a group key from MLS. Reminds messenger application users that the server can view your communication content at any time. We discuss ways to authenticate between users without going through the server to prevent curious admin attacks.

Recently, phishing attacks targeting those involved in defense, security and unification have been on the rise. In particular, hacking attack organization Kimsuky has been engaged in activities to collect important information from public organizations through phishing attacks since 2013. In this paper, profiling analysis of phishing mail attack organization was performed. Through this process, we estimated the purpose of the attack group and suggested countermeasures.

멀티캐스트 기술은 다자간 비디오회의, 대화형 원격 강의, 소프트웨어 배포, 인터넷 게임 등 특정 사용자 그룹에게만 전송하는 효율적인 통신기술이다. 그러나, 멀티캐스트의 개방적 특성상, 언제 어디서나 임의의 그룹멤버가 메시지를 보낼 수 있다. 따라서 부적절한 데이터의 수신으로부터 그룹 멤버들을 보호하고 다양한 DOS 공격으로부터 멀티캐스트 트리를 보호하기 위해 송신자 접근통제를 수행하는 것이 중요하나 소스기반과 단일지점 또는 랑데부 지점에서 인가되거나 인증되는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 접근권한에 따라 전송 메시지가 라우터의 임의의 지점에서 사진에 통제될 수 있는 양방향 멀티캐스트 트리에 대한 다단계 송신자 접근통제 메커니즘을 제시한다 다음으로 제시한 방식과 기존 전송 방식간의 메시지 전송 효율성 측면을 실험을 통하여 분석한다. 제안 방식이 라우터상에서 접근권한의 비교를 통하여 메시지를 사전에 걸러냄으로써 상대적으로 작은 메시지 전달 오버헤드를 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

All operating systems have privileged administrator accounts for efficient management. Dangerous or sensitive tasks or resources should be banned from normal users and should only be accessible by administrators. One example of this privilege is to reset a user's password when the user loses his/her password. In this paper, the privileges of the sudoer group, the administrator group of Linux Ubuntu, and the management system of the sudoer group were analyzed. We show the danger that a sudoer can use the privilege to change the password of other users, including other sudoers, and modify the log, and suggest a countermeasure to prevent the manipulation of shadow files as a solution to this. In addition, the proposed method was implemented and the possibility of practical use was confirmed with excellent performance.

지금까지 국내 PLC 기술의 경우 그룹식별자(GID)를 키로 사용하는 암호화/복호화를 통해 보안 기능을 제공하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 방법의 경우 동일한 셀(Cell)에 존재하는 PLC장비들이 동일한 키를 사용하게 된다. 따라서, 공격자는 GID를 획득함으로써 동일한 셀에 존재하는 모든 장비들의 정보를 획득하거나 조작할 수 있다. 이러한 문제가 발생하는 가장 큰 원인은 두 가지로 정리할 수 있다. 첫째, PLC 장비간 인증절차를 거치지 않는 것이다. 둘째, 단순 식별자를 암호화를 위한 보안키로 사용한다는 것이다. 따라서 본 논문은 한국산업규격(KSX 4600-1)의 매체접근제어(MAC)계층에서 정의하고 있는 기술을 근거로 PLC 장비간 인증 및 보안키 생성 메커니즘을 제안하고, 그에 따른 프레임 형식 및 동작과정을 제안한다.

A group key exchange (GKE) protocol is designed to allow a group of parties communicating over a public network to establish a common secret key. As group-oriented applications gain popularity over the Internet, a number of GKE protocols have been suggested to provide those applications with a secure multicast channel. Among the many protocols is Yi et al.'s password-based GKE protocol in which each participant is assumed to hold their individual password registered with a trusted server. A fundamental requirement for password-based key exchange is security against off-line dictionary attacks. However, Yi et al.'s protocol fails to meet the requirement. In this paper, we report this security problem with Yi et al.'s protocol and show how to solve it.

In most hacking attacks, hackers intrudes inside for a long period of time and attempts to communicate with the outside using a circumvent connection to achieve purpose. research in response to advanced and intelligent cyber threats has been mainly conducted with signature-based detection and blocking methods, but recently it has been extended to threat hunting methods. attacks from organized hacking groups are advanced persistent attacks over a long period of time, and bypass remote attacks account for the majority. however, even in the intrusion detection system using intelligent recognition technology, it only shows detection performance of the existing intrusion status. therefore, countermeasures against targeted bypass rwjqthrwkemote attacks still have limitations with existing detection methods and threat hunting methods. in this paper, to overcome theses limitations, we propose a model that can detect the targeted circumvent connection remote attack threat of an organized hacking group. this model designed a threat hunting process model that applied the method of verifying the origin IP of the remote circumvent connection, and verified the effectiveness by implementing the proposed method in actual defense information system environment.
