This paper shall suggest the improvement model for invigorating cyber threat information sharing from the national level, which includes, inter alia, a comprehensive solutions such as the legislation of a guideline for information sharing, the establishment of so-called National Center for Information Sharing, the construction and management of a integrated information system, the development of techniques for automatizing all the processes for gathering, analyzing and delivering cyber threat information, and the constitution of a private and public joint committee for sharing information, so much so that it intends to prevent cyber security threat to occur in advance or to refrain damage from being proliferated even after the occurrence of incidents.

The purpose of this study is to find out quantitative vulnerability assessment about COTS(Commercial Off The Shelf) O/S based I&C System. This paper analyzed vulnerability's lifecycle and it's impact. this paper is to develop a quantitative assessment of overall cyber security risks and vulnerabilities I&C System by studying the vulnerability analysis and prediction method. The probabilistic vulnerability assessment method proposed in this study suggests a modeling method that enables setting priority of patches, threshold setting of vulnerable size, and attack path in a commercial OS-based measurement control system that is difficult to patch an immediate vulnerability.

Recently, Tan et al. introduced a serverless search protocol in which a mobile reader maintains a tag authentication list and authenticates a tag using the list without connecting authentication server. A serverless RFID system is different from general RFID systems which use on-line server models. In the serverless RFID system, since the mobility of a personalized reader must be considered, we have to protect not only the privacy of a tag but also the privacy of a mobile reader. In this paper, we define new security requirements for serverless RFID search system and propose a secure serverless RFID search system. In our system, since tag authentication information maintained by a reader is updated in every session, we can provide the backward untraceability of a mobile reader. Also we use an encrypted timestamp to block a replay attack which is major weakness of search protocols. In addition, we define a new adversary model to analyze a serverless RFID search system and prove the security of our proposed system using the model.

Signature-based malicious code detection methods share a common limitation; it is very hard to detect modified malicious codes or new malware utilizing zero-day vulnerabilities. To overcome this limitation, many studies are actively carried out to classify malicious codes using N-gram. Although they can detect malicious codes with high accuracy, it is difficult to identify malicious codes that uses very short codes such as Spectre. We propose a function level N-gram comparison algorithm to effectively identify the Spectre binary. To test the validity of this algorithm, we built N-gram data sets from 165 normal binaries and 25 malignant binaries. When we used Random Forest models, the model performance experiments identified Spectre malicious functions with 99.99% accuracy and its f1-score was 92%.

Security incidents using vulnerabilities in cloud services occur, but it is difficult to collect and analyze traces of incidents in cloud environments with complex and diverse service models. As a result, the importance of cloud forensics research has emerged, and infringement response scenarios must be designed from the perspective of cloud service users (CSUs) and cloud service providers (CSPs) based on representative security threat cases in the public cloud service model. This simulated hacking-based proactive cloud infringement response framework can be used to respond to the cloud service critical resource attack process from the viewpoint of vulnerability detection before cyberattacks occur on the cloud, and can also be expected for data acquisition. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a framework for preventive cloud infringement based on simulated hacking by analyzing and utilizing Cloudfox, a cloud penetration test tool.

Cyber-attacks such as smishing and hacking mail exploiting COVID-19, political and social issues, have recently been continuous. Machine learning and deep learning technology research are conducted to prevent any damage due to cyber-attacks inducing malicious links to breach personal data. It has been concluded as a lack of basis to judge the attacks to be malicious in previous studies since the features of data set were excessively simple. In this paper, nine main features of three types, "URL Days", "URL Word", and "URL Abnormal", were proposed in addition to lexical features of URL which have been reflected in previous research. F1-Score and accuracy index were measured through four different types of machine learning algorithms. An improvement of 0.9% in a result and the highest value, 98.5%, were examined in F1-Score and accuracy through comparatively analyzing an existing research. These outcomes proved the main features contribute to elevating the values in both accuracy and performance.

The security model in the previous network environment has a vulnerability in which resource access control for trusted users is not properly achieved using the Perimeter model based on trust. The Zero Trust is an absolute principle to assume that the users and devices accessing internal data have nothing to trust. Applying the Zero Trust principle is very successful in reducing the attack surface of an organization, and by using the Zero Trust, it is possible to minimize damage when an attack occurs by limiting the intrusion to one small area through segmentation. ZTNA is a major technology that enables organizations to implement Zero Trust security, and similar to Software Defined Boundary (SDP), ZTNA hides most of its infrastructure and services, establishing one-to-one encrypted connections between devices and the resources they need. In this study, we review the functions and requirements that become the principles of the ZTNA architecture, and also study the security requirements and additional considerations according to the construction and operation of the ZTNA solution.

This paper describes intrusion detection rule management using mobile agents. Intrusion detection can be divided into anomaly detection and misuse detection. Misuse detection is best suited for reliably detecting known use patterns. Misuse detection systems can detect many or all known attack patterns, but they are of little use for as yet unknown attack methods. Therefore, the introduction of mobile agents to provide computational security by constantly moving around the Internet and propagating rules is presented as a solution to misuse detection. This work presents a new approach for detecting intrusions, in which mobile agent mechanisms are used for security rules propagation. To evaluate the proposed approach, we compared the workload data between a rules propagation method using a mobile agent and a conventional method. Also, we simulated a rules management using NS-2 (Network Simulator) with respect to time.

In this paper, we compared the performance of "Network Intrusion Detection System based on attack feature selection using fuzzy control language"[1] and "Intelligent Intrusion Detection System Model for attack classification using RNN"[2]. In this paper, we compare the intrusion detection performance of two techniques using KDD CUP 99 dataset. The KDD 99 dataset contains data sets for training and test data sets that can detect existing intrusions through training. There are also data that can test whether training data and the types of intrusions that are not present in the test data can be detected. We compared two papers showing good intrusion detection performance in training and test data. In the comparative paper, there is a lack of performance to detect intrusions that exist but have no existing intrusion detection capability. Among the attack types, DoS, Probe, and R2L have high detection rate using fuzzy and U2L has a high detection rate using RNN.
