Recently, Lee et al. proposed a delegation-based authentication protocol for secure and private roaming service in global mobility networks. In this paper, we show that the protocol cannot protect the privacy of an user even though the protocol provides the user anonymity. To prove the weakness, we show that the protocol cannot provide the unlinkability and also examine the weakness of the protocol caused by the lack of the unlinkability.

Recently, electronic documents are deployed in many areas. However, trust concerns arise owing to the fact that detecting whether an electronic document is modified or not is not an easy process. To facilitate this process, many word processors provide digital signature capabilities on themselves. However, there were not much research on the security of digital signature function of various programs including Microsoft Word and Hancom Hangul. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the security of Microsoft Word and Hancom Hangul, and propose improvements for their digital signature schemes.

Due to the changes in the wireless information environment, there has been an increased demand for various types of information. Accordingly, many wireless communication technologies have been studied and developed. In particular, studies on ubiquitous communications are well underway. Lately, the focus has been on the Bluetooth technology due to its applicability in various environments. Applying Bluetooth connectivity to new environments such as ubiquitous or sensor networks requires finding new wars of using it. Thus, this research analyzed the vulnerability on the limited number of slaves in a piconet configuration through the current Bluetooth communication and proposed an expanded Bluetooth piconet formation method, regardless of the number of slaves inside the piconet even if it is not configured in a scatternet. In the proposed method, we applied a security service and resolved the vulnerabilities of the current piconet by configuring an expanded form of the current tree-shaped structure.

In recent years, the development of defense technology has become digital with the introduction of advanced assets such as drones equipped with artificial intelligence. These assets are integrated with modern information technologies such as industrial IoT, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing to promote innovation in the defense domain. However, the convergence of the technology is increasing the possibility of transfer of cyber threats, which is emerging as a problem of increasing the vulnerability of defense assets. While the current cybersecurity methodologies focus on the vulnerability of a single asset, interworking of various military assets is necessary to perform the mission. Therefore, this paper recognizes these problems and presents a mission-based asset management and evaluation methodology. It aims to strengthen cyber security in the defense sector by identifying assets that are important for mission execution and analyzing vulnerabilities in terms of cyber security. In this paper, we propose a method of classifying mission dependencies through linkage analysis between functions and assets to perform a mission, and identifying and classifying assets that affect the mission. In addition, a case study of identifying key assets was conducted through an attack scenario.

The complexity of software products led many manufacturers to stitch open-source software for composing a product. Using open-source help reduce the development cost, but the difference in the different development life cycles makes it difficult to keep the product up-to-date. For this reason, even the patches for known vulnerabilities are not adopted quickly enough, leaving the entire product under threat. Existing studies propose to use binary differentiation techniques to determine if a product is left vulnerable against a particular vulnerability. Despite their effectiveness in finding real-world vulnerabilities, they often fail to locate the evidence of a vulnerability if it is a small function that usually is inlined at compile time. This work presents our tool FunRank which is designed to identify the short functions. Our experiments using synthesized and real-world software products show that FunRank can identify the short, inlined functions that suggest that the program is left vulnerable to a particular vulnerability.

In this study, a seismic behavior of electrical cabinet system in Nuclear Power Plants(NPPs) was evaluated by the shaking table test. A 480V Motor Control Centers(MCCs) was selected for the shaking table test, and a real MCC cabinet for the Korea Nuclear Power Plant site was rented by manufactured company. For the shaking table tests, three kinds of seismic input motions were used, which were a US NRC Reg. guide 1.60 design spectrum, a UHS spectrum and PAB 165' floor response spectrum(FRS). Especially, the UHS input motion was selected for an evaluation of structural seismic amplification effects, three directional accelerations were measured at three points outside on the cabinet system and also that of the incabinet response amplification, accelerations were measure at two points which were mounted in electrical equipment such as relay. Seismic amplification effect is determined at the outside and inside of a cabinet as input seismic motion, and compared to the results which are calculated by analytical method based on NUREG/CR-5203.

The use of general IT resources in the Instrumentation and Control system(I&C) for the safety of Nuclear Power Plants(NPPs) is increasing. As a result, potential security vulnerabilities of existing IT resources may cause cyber attack to NPPs, which may cause serious consequences not only to shutdown of NPPs but also to national disasters. In order to respond to this, domestic nuclear regulatory agencies are developing guidelines for regulating nuclear cyber security regulations and expanding the range of regulatory targets. However, it is necessary to take measures to cope with not only general security problems of NPPs but also attacks specific to NPPs. In this paper, we select 42 items related to the vulnerability inspection in the contents defined in R.G.5.71 and classify it into 5 types. If the vulnerability inspection tool is developed based on the proposed analysis, it will be possible to improve the inspection efficiency of the cyber security vulnerability of the NPPs.

With the advancement of SIEM from ESM, it allows deep correlated analysis using huge amount of data. By collecting software's vulnerabilities from assessment with certain classification measures (e.g., CWE), it can improve detection rate effectively, and respond to software's vulnerabilities by analyzing big data. In the phase of monitoring and vulnerability diagnosis Process, it not only detects predefined threats, but also vulnerabilities of software in each resources could promptly be applied by sharing CCE, CPE, CVE and CVSS information. This abstract proposes a model for effective detection and response of software vulnerabilities and describes effective outcomes of the model application.

Lately smartphone uasage is increasing and many Internet of Things (IoT) devices support wireless communications. Accordingly, small base stations which called femtocells are supplied to prevent saturation of existing base stations. However, unlike the original purpose of the femtocell with the advanced hacking technologies, Vulnerability such as gaining the administrator authority was discovered and this can cause serious problems such as the leakage of personal information of femtocell user. Therefore, identify security threats that may occur in the femtocell and it is necessary to ways for systematic vulnerability analysis. In this paper, We analyzed the security threats that can be generated in the femtocell and constructed a checklist for vulnerability analysis using the Threat Modeling method. Then, using the constructed checklist provides a scheme that can improve the safety of the femto cell through the actual analysis and taken the results of the femtocell vulnerabilities analysis.
