The field of medical images has been digitalized as the development of computer and the digitalization of the medical instruments. As a result it causes a lot of problems such as an illegal copy related to medical images and property right of the medical images. Therefore, digital watermarking is used for discrimination whether the data are modified or not. It is also used to protect both the property right of medical images and the private life of many patients. The proposed theories, the Non-blind and the Blind method, have two problems. One is needed an original image and the other is using a gaussian watermarking. This paper proposes the new Blind Watermarking using binary images in order to easily recognize the results of watermark. This algorithm is described that an watermark of a binary image is wavelet-transformed, and then a transformed watermark is inserted in medium-band of frequency domains of original image by the Circular Input method. The propose method presented the good performance of over 0.97 in NC.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a next generation technology that will replace barcode. RFID can identify an object by reading ID inside a RFID tag using radio frequency. However, because a RFID tag replies its unique ID to the request of any reader through wireless communication, it is vulnerable to attacks on security or privacy through wiretapping or an illegal reader's request. The RFID authentication protocol has been studied actively in order to solve security and privacy problems, and is used also in tag search. Recently, as the number of tags is increasing in RFTD systems and the cost of data collection is also rising, the importance of effective tag search is increasing. This study proposed an efficient search method that solved through ta9 group the problem of large volume of database computation in Miyako Ohkubo's hash chain mechanism, which meets requirements for security and privacy protection. When we searched first the group of tags with access rate of 5 or higher in a database with 100,000 records, search time decreased by around 30%.

In recent years, industrial automation has been established and WISN (Wireless Industrial Sensor Network) has been introduced for efficient system management. By introducing WISN, many engineering costs have been reduced and process processors have been optimized. And communication flow using wireless is increasing. An empirical study on industrial wireless sensor networks is actively conducted, but there are few security studies on them and they are exposed to such threats. If there is a problem with the standard of the wireless communication protocol itself, the device that is certified according to the standard may also be subject to security threats including problems. We analyze security functions and threats of ISA 100.11a and WirelessHART protocol stack based on standards. Procedures for distributing the security key are not provided or it is vulnerable using the Global Data Link key when the device enters the network. This paper presents the problems of the standard itself and presents the security requirements accordingly.

Distributed ledger technology, which is attracting attention as an emerging technology related to the 4th Industrial Revolution, is implemented as an open source based distributed ledger technology system and widely used for development with various applications (or services), but the security functions provided by the distributed general ledger system are very insufficient. This paper proposes security enhancements for distributed ledger technology systems based on open source. To do so, potential security threats that may occur under running an open source based distributed ledger technology systems are identified and security functional requirements against the security threats identified are provided by analyzing legislation and security certification criteria (ISMS-P). In addition, it proposes a method to implement the security functions required for an open source based distributed ledger technology systems through analysis of security functional components of Common Criteria (CC), an international standard.

One of the issues of the automotive industry today is autonomous driving vehicles. In order to achieve level 3 or higher as defined by SAE International, harmonization of autonomous driving technology and connected technology is essential. Current vehicles have new features such as autonomous driving, which not only increases the number of electrical components, but also the amount and complexity of software. As a result, the attack surface, which is the access point of attack, is widening, and software security vulnerabilities are also increasing. However, the reality is that the essential security requirements for vehicles are not defined. In this paper, based on real attacks and vulnerability cases and trends, we identify the assets in the in-vehicle network and derive the threats. We also defined the security requirements and derived essential security requirements that should be applied at least to the safety of the vehicle occupant through risk analysis.

VR(Virtual Reality), which provides realistic services in virtual reality, provides a similar experience using a Head Mounted Display(HMD) device. When the HMD device is worn, it can not recognize the surrounding environment and it is easy to analyze the input pattern of the user with the Shoulder Surfing Attack(SSA) when entering the Personal Identification Number(PIN). In this paper, we propose a method to safeguard the user's password even if the hacker analyzes the input pattern while maintaining the user's convenience. For the first time, we implemented a new type of virtual keypad that deviates from the existing rectangle shape according to the VR characteristics and implemented the lock object for intuitive interaction with the user. In addition, a smart glove using the same sensor as the existing input devices of the VR and a PIN input method suitable for the rotary type are implemented and the safety of the SSA is verified through experiments.

The advent of various mobile devices and mobile services has caused diversification of information stored in a mobile device, e.g., SMS, photos, movies, addresses, e-mails, digital certificates, and so on. Because mobile devices are lost or stolen easily, user authentication is critical to protect the information stored in mobile devices. However, the current user authentication methods using Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) and passwords are vulnerable to Shoulder Surfing Attacks (SSAs), which enables an attacker to obtain user's information. Although there are already several SSA-resistant authentication methods in the literature, most of these methods lack of usability. Moreover, they are not suitable for use in mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a user friendly password input method for mobile devices which is secure against SSA. We also perform user tests and compare the security and usability of the proposed method with those of the existing password input methods.

In this paper, we propose the enhanced Assessment Model of the Embedded Software Process(MND-ESPAM) which is suitable for the development work of weapons in Korea. In 2008. We developed the MND-ESPAM which is the assessment criteria of software process, but this model is inefficient to apply to Korean military area. Therefore, we elicit and analyze the problems of MND-ESPAM through tow methods. One is to research on the actual condition of the domestic defense industry about software process management. And the other is to apply MND-ESPAM to the defense companies acquiring CMMI level. In order to overcome these problems elicited above, we provide solutions to make MND-ESPAM linked with Software Development Process Guide of Defense Acquisition Program Administration(DAPA) and to systematically strengthen testing activities and to reduce the number of process areas. The proposed model was proved by two objective methods such as checking the coverage with CMMI and whether it is satisfied or not by modified requirements ISO/IEC 14598-3. At last, experts in the field of software process confirmed the effect of MND-ESPAM through applying MND-ESPAM to the defense industry company.

Security threats to information services are increasingly being developed, and the frequency and damage caused by security threats are also increasing. In particular, security threats occurring inside the organization are increasing significantly, and the size of the damage is also large. A zero trust model has been proposed as a way to improve such a security environment. In the zero trust model, a subject who has access to information resources is regarded as a malicious attacker. Subjects can access information resources after verification through identification and authentication processes. However, the initially proposed zero trust model basically focuses on the network and does not consider the security environment for systems or data. In this study, we proposed a zero trust-based access control mechanism that extends the existing zero trust model to the file system. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the proposed file access control mechanism can be applied to implement the zero trust model.

Security threats occur from the outside, but more often from the inside. In particular, since the internal user knows about the information service, the security threat damage caused by the internal user is greater. In this environment, the actions of all users accessing information services should be monitored and recorded in real-time. However, the current operating system records only the logs of system and application execution, so there is a limit to monitoring user behavior in real-time. In such a security environment, damage may occur due to user's unauthorized actions. To solve this problem, this study proposes an architecture that monitors user behavior in real-time in a Linux environment. As a result of verifying the function to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed architecture, the console input values and output angles of all users who have access to the operating system are monitored in real-time and stored. Although the performance of the proposed architecture is somewhat slower than the identification and authentication functions provided by the operating system, it was confirmed that the performance was not at a level that users would recognize, and thus it was judged to be sufficiently effective. However, since this study focuses on monitoring the console behavior, it is impossible to monitor the behavior of user applications running in the background, so additional research is needed.
