The buffer overflow attack is the single most dominant and lethal form of security exploits as evidenced by recent worm outbreaks such as Code Red and SQL Stammer. In this paper, we propose microarchitectural techniques that can detect and recover from such malicious code attacks. The idea is that the buffer overflow attacks usually exhibit abnormal behaviors in the system. This kind of unusual signs can be easily detected by checking the safety of memory references at runtime, avoiding the potential data or control corruptions made by such attacks. Both the hardware cost and the performance penalty of enforcing the safety guards are negligible. In addition, we propose a more aggressive technique called corruption recovery buffer (CRB), which can further increase the level of security. Combined with the safety guards, the CRB can be used to save suspicious writes made by an attack and can restore the original architecture state before the attack. By performing detailed execution-driven simulations on the programs selected from SPEC CPU2000 benchmark, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed microarchitectural techniques. Experimental data shows that enforcing a single safety guard can reduce the number of system failures substantially by protecting the stack against return address corruptions made by the attacks. Furthermore, a small 1KB CRB can nullify additional data corruptions made by stack smashing attacks with only less than 2% performance penalty.

본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.16 OFDMA 시스템에서 단말들의 에너지 절약을 위한 효율적인 상향 링크 자원 할당 알고리즘을 제시한다. 기지국은 각각의 단말들이 상향링크로 데이터를 전송할 수 있도록 상향링크 부프레임에 연속적인 형태의 자원을 할당해 줘야 한다. 이렇게 각 단말들의 에너지 소비를 고려하여 효율적으로 자원을 할당하는 방식은 최적화 문제의 형태로 접근할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 전체 에너지소비가 최소가 되는 자원 할당 문제를 Multiple Choice Knapsack 문제로 정의하고, 이를 효율적으로 풀 수 있는 준최적화 알고리즘을 제시한다. 준최적화 알고리즘은 전체 에너지 소비가 최소가 되는 각 단말들의 최적의 변조로 부호화 기법을 찾는다. 그리고 성능평가를 통해 준최적화 알고리즘이 채널 상태만을 고려하여 변조로 부호화 레벨을 결정하는 기법에 비해 최대 53%의 성능 이득을 보이는 것을 제시한다.

개방형 네트워크인 인터넷에서의 오든 정보 교환은 항상 정보의 노출 및 정보의 위조 및 변조 등의 위협요소를 배후에 내포하고 있다. 이러한 인터넷에서의 중요 정보 보호를 위해서는 모든 정보 교환에 있어서 정보의 탈법노출을 방지하기 위한 기밀성, 정보의 위조 및 변조 여부를 판단하는 무결성. 정보의 송신자와 수신자 사이렌 송수신 사실을 부인하지 못 하도록 하는 부인방지, 전송된 정보의 송신자라 수신자를 확실하게 증명해주는 인증 등의 기능들이 제공되어야한다. PKI 기반의 인증서 상태 검증 시스템은 위와 같은 4가지의 기능을 제공해 준다. 하지만 실시간으로 인증서의 대한 상태 정보를 제공하지 못 한다는 단점과 인증서 상태 검증을 위해 많은 정보를 전송해야 하기 때문에 네트웍 과부하에 문제가 발생한다. 그로 인해 인증서 상태 검증에 소요되는 처리 속도가 느리다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 방식의 문제점인 인증서 상태 정보의 실시간성 반영 문제 및 인증서 상태 겅증 시간의 향상을 위한 인증서 자체의 Serial과 UserDN만을 이용한 축약 서명 기반의 효율적인 인증서 상태 검증 시스템을 제안하고, 실제 실험을 통하여 기존의 시스템과 제안하는 시스템의 인증서 상태 검증 속도를 비교해 보고자 한다.

Automatic modulation classification(AMC) is a core technique in Software Defined Radio(SDR) platform that enables smart and flexible spectrum sensing and access in a wide frequency band. In this study, we propose a simple yet accurate deep learning-based method that allows AMC for variable-size radio signals. To this end, we design a classification architecture consisting of two Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)-based models, namely main and small models, which were trained on radio signal datasets with two different signal sizes, respectively. Then, for a received signal input with an arbitrary length, modulation classification is performed by augmenting the input samples using a self-replicating padding technique to fit the input layer size of our model. Experiments using the RadioML 2018.01A dataset demonstrated that the proposed method provides higher accuracy than the existing methods in all signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) domains with less computation overhead.

In this paper, we propose a modulation scheme for a network-coded bi-directional relaying (NBR) system over an asymmetric channel, which means that the qualities of the relay channel (the link between the BS and RS) and access channel (the link between the RS and MS) are not identical. The proposed scheme employs a dual constellation in such a way that the RS broadcasts the network-coded symbols modulated by two different constellations to the MS and BS over two consecutive transmission intervals. We derive an upper bound on the average bit error rate (BER) of the proposed scheme, and compare it with the hybrid constellation-based modulation scheme proposed for the asymmetric bi-directional link. Furthermore, we investigate the channel utilization of the existing bi-directional relaying schemes as well as the NBR system with the proposed dual constellation diversity-based modulation (DCD). From our simulation results, we show that the DCD gives better average BER performance about 3.5~4dB when $E_b/N_0$ is equal to $10^{-2}$, while maintaining the same spectral efficiency as the existing NBR schemes over the asymmetric bi-directional relaying channel.

Security systems that use face recognition are vulnerable to spoofing attacks where unauthorized individuals use a photo or video of authorized users. In this work, we propose a method to detect a face spoofing attack with a video of an authorized person. The proposed method uses three sequential frames in the video to extract features by using Fourier Transform and Dense-SIFT filter. Then, classification is completed with a Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results with a database of 200 valid and 200 spoof video clips showed 99% detection accuracy. The proposed method uses simplified features that require fewer memory and computational overhead while showing a high spoofing detection accuracy.

In current e-commerce system, it happens that client's confidential information such as credit card numbers, pin numbers, or digital certificate may pass through a web proxy server or an altered proxy server without client's awareness. Even though the confidential information is encrypted and sent through SSL(Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS(Transport Layer Security) protocol, it can be exposed to the risk of sniffing by the digital certificate forgery at the proxy server, which is called the SSL MITM(Man-In-The-Middle) Proxy attack. In this paper, current credit card web-payment systems, which is weak at proxy information alternation attack, are analyzed. A resolution with certificate proxy server is also proposed to prevent the MITM attack.
