Domestic CERTs are carrying out monitoring and response against cyber attacks using security devices(e.g., IDS, TMS, etc) based on signatures. Particularly, in case of public and research institutes, about 30 security monitoring and response centers are being operated under National Cyber Security Center(NCSC) of National Intelligence Service(NIS). They are mainly using Threat Management System(TMS) for providing security monitoring and response service. Since TMS raises a large amount of security events and most of them are not related to real cyber attacks, security analyst who carries out the security monitoring and response suffers from analyzing all the TMS events and finding out real cyber attacks from them. Also, since the security monitoring and response tasks depend on security analyst's know-how, there is a fatal problem in that they tend to focus on analyzing specific security events, so that it is unable to analyze and respond unknown cyber attacks. Therefore, we propose automated verification method of security events based on their empirical analysis to improve performance of security monitoring and response.

사람들이 살아가는 환경에는 여러 가지 위급한 환경 이벤트가 발생하는데 이들에 대한 상황파악을 통해 효율적인 대처방안을 도출해 낼 수 있다. 그러나 험준한 산악지대, 넓은 사막지대와 같이 쉽게 사람이 접근하기 힘든 위치에서도 이벤트가 발생한다. 이러한 환경에서 이벤트 상황을 파악할 수 있는 가장 효율적인 방법으로 무선 센서 네트워크를 꼽을 수 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크를 적용 가능한 분야는 산불 감시, 지진이나 화산활동 감시, 유독 물질 확산 탐지 등을 들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유독 가스, 산불, 기압골 등 광범위한 걸쳐 플럼(Plume) 형태로 발생하는 이벤트의 범위를 센서를 통해 지속적으로 손쉽게 알아내기 위한 Plume 추적기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 플럼 추적 기법에서는 센서 간 통신비용을 감소시키는 새로운 에지 검출 기법을 제안해 센서의 에너지 소모를 줄여 전체 센서 네트워크의 운용시간을 크게 향상시킨다.

정보통신기술이 발전함에 따라 시스템 보안의 중요성이 점점 높아지고 있다. 이어 따라 내부자의 불법적인 시스템 사용이나 외부 침입자애 의한 중요 정보의 유출 및 조작을 알아내는 침입탐지시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 침입탐지시스템에서는 사용자가 입력한 명령어, 네트워크 패킷, 시스템 호출 감사자료, 시스템 사용시간 등의 다양한 척도를 사용하여 침입여부를 결정하는데 사용하는 척도와 모델링 방법에 따라 취약점이 존재하여 탐지하지 못하는 침입이 있다. 본 논문에서는 단일척도 침입탐지 시스템의 취약점을 보안하기 위해 시스템 호출, 프로세스의 자원점유율, 파일접근이벤트의 세 가지 척도를 각각 최적의 방법으로 모델링 한 후 결합하는 침입탐지 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통해 그 가능성을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 바이러스의 자기 복제 특성을 용한 바이러스 탐지 및 복구 방안을 제안한다. 바이러스의 행동 패턴은 바이러스의 종류 만큼 다양하지만 파일 바이러스의 경우, 자기 복제 행동 패턴은 대부분의 바이러스가 유사하다. 파일 바이러스가 시스템 감염시키기 위해서는 기생할 실행파일을 열고, 자기 자신을 그 실행 파일에 복사해야 한다. 이와 같은 자기 복제 행위를 통해 바이러스가 광범위하게 선과될 때 피 피해도 커지게 된다. 바이러스치 자기 복제 특성을 감안하여 본 연구에서 제안하는 바이러스 탐지 알고리즘은 다음과 같은 득징을 가진다. 첫째, 바이러스의 자기복세 행동 패턴은 파일 입출력 이벤트로 표현하여 바이러스의 행동 패턴으로 일반화시켰다. 둘째, 바이러스의 1차 감염행위는 허용하고 2차 이후 감염 행위부터 탐지하고, 탐지되기 이전에 감염되었던, 파일들을 복구한다. 이는 일반적인 바이러스들이 자기 복제를 지속적으로 수행한다는 점에 착안하여 false-positive 오류를 줄이기 위한 것이다. 본 고에서 제안하는 방법을 사용함으로써 특정 문자열에 의한 바이러스 탐지 및 복구 방법의 단점을 보안할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

As the development of information technology and thus the growth of security incidents, there has been increasing demand on developing a system for centralized security management, also known as Enterprise Security Management(ESM), uniting functions of various security systems such as firewall, intrusion detection system, virtual private network and so on. Unfortunately, however, developers have been suffering with a lack of related standard. Although ISTF recently announced firewall system and intrusion detection system log format, it still needs for truly efficient ESM further development of the related standard including event and control messaging. This paper analyses ISTF standard and further suggests an additional event and control messaging standard for firewall and intrusion detection systems. It is expected that this effort would be helpful for the development of ESM and further related standard.

Recent, Cyber attacks such as hacking and malicious code techniques are evolving very rapidly changing cyber a ttacks are increasing, the number of malicious code techniques vary accordingly become intelligent. In the case of m alware because of the ambiguity in the number of malware have increased rapidly by name or classified as maliciou s code may have difficulty coping with. This paper investigated the naming convention of the vaccine manufacturer s in Korea to solve this problem, the analysis and offers a naming convention for security control event detection r ule analysis to compare the pattern of the detection rule out based on this current.

ARM processors, utilized in mobile devices, have integrated the hardware isolation framework, TrustZone technology, to implement two execution environments: the trusted domain "Secure World" and the untrusted domain "Normal World". Rootkit is a type of malicious software that gains administrative access and hide its presence to create backdoors. Detecting the presence of a rootkit in a Secure World is difficult since processes running within the Secure World have no memory access restrictions and are isolated. This paper proposes a technique that leverages the hardware based PMU(Performance Monitoring Unit) to measure events of the Secure World rootkit and to detect the rootkit using deep learning.

As mobile terminal environment gets matured, the use of Android platform based mobile terminals has been growing high. Recently, the number of attacks by malicious application is also increasing as Android platform is vulnerable to private information leakage in nature. Most of these malicious applications are easily distributed to general users through open market or internet and an attacker inserts malicious code into malicious app which could be harmful tool to steal private data and banking data such as SMS, contacts list, and public key certificate to a remote server. To cope with these security threats more actively, it is necessary to develop countermeasure system that enables to detect security vulnerability existing in mobile device and take an appropriate action to protect the system against malicious attacks. In this sense, this paper aggregates diverse system events from multiple mobile devices and also implements a system to detect attacks by malicious application.

With the development of Internet, cyber attack has become a major threat. To detect cyber attacks, intrusion detection system(IDS) has been widely deployed. But IDS has a critical weakness which is that it generates a large number of false alarms. One of the promising techniques that reduce the false alarms in real time is machine learning. However, there are problems that must be solved to use machine learning. So, many machine learning approaches have been applied to this field. But so far, researchers have not focused on features. Despite the features of IDS alerts are important for performance of model, the approach to feature is ignored. In this paper, we propose new feature set which can improve the performance of model and can be extracted from a single alarm. New features are motivated from security analyst's know-how. We trained and tested the proposed model applied new feature set with real IDS alerts. Experimental results indicate the proposed model can achieve better accuracy and false positive rate than SVM model with ordinary features.

One of the reasons that debugging distributed programs is much more difficult than sequential programs is the communication among processes. Even though there are many debuggers constructed on distributed system environment, no available debugger provides an efficient way to debug communication events.. In this paper, we show the way to debug RPC communication, which is regarded as one of the most popular communication protocol in distributed system development. This paper presents the implementation of the RPC event trace function based on the RPC event model, which is proposed to accommodate communication events into debugging objects. Analyzing conventional RPC protocols, we formalized library function calls as corresponding actions to sending and receiving of messages. B recognizing the locations of library calls the debugger can detect all occurrences of communication events, This RPC event trace function is implemented on the on-line distributed debugger UniVIEW system.
