Spread of smart devices increases, the App Store market is formed so huge, even at this point, every day the scale is increasing now. As a result, for the benefit of companies and private individuals, malicious apps that threaten the security of smart devices, have appeared occasionally in the App Store. Security of the terminal, has issued various solutions through research at many universities and companies, and country. However, solutions for research and policy approaches that are blocking the procedure to register the application malicious app, so that it is not registered in the App Store, Only company that operates the app store is doing it. And the reference is also insufficient, various problems have occurred. In this study, after analyzing the problem of the security policy of the current App Store, presenting the breaking point.

Korea's security response to application service app is still insufficient due to the initial opening of the public safety network. Therefore, preemptive security measures are essential. In this study, we proposed to establish a 'public safety network app security system' to prevent potential vulnerabilities to the app store that distributes app in public safety network and android operating system that operate app on dedicated terminal devices. In order for an application service app to be listed on the public safety network mobile app store, a dataset of malicious and normal app is first established to extract characteristics and select the most effective AI model to perform static and dynamic analysis. According to the analysis results, 'Safety App Certificate' is certified for non-malicious app to secure reliability for listed apps. Ultimately, it minimizes the security blind spots of public safety network app. In addition, the safety of the network can be secured by supporting public safety application service of certified apps.

Recently. smartphones have been popularized rapidly and now located deep in our daily life, providing a variety of services from banking, SNS (Social Network Service), and entertainment to smart-work mobile office through apps. Such smartphone apps can be easily downloaded from what is known as app store which, however, bears many security issues as software developers can just as easily upload to it. Military apps will be exposed to a myriad of security threats if distributed through internet-basis commercial app store. In order to mitigate such security concerns, this paper suggests a security guidelines for establishing a military-excusive app store and security verification system which prevent the security hazards that can occur during the process of development and distribution of military-use mobile apps.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between Product Quality (Popularity, Playfulness) and Information Quality (Informativeness, Reliability), System Quality (Ease of Use, Security), Trust and Continuance Intention in Smart Phone Application Market. To identify these affecting relationships, the secondary data or past studies were collected and theoretically arranged. I made the theoretical proposed model to explain the relationships between the constructs, identify the operational definitions and 13 Hypotheses were established, there was executed the survey of 250 customers of Smart Phone Application Market. Using the collected data, previous performances to confirm the construct validity and internal consistency by Cronbach's a was executed and Partial Least Square Analysis to confirm the hypotheses in proposed model was conducted using the Smart-PLS Software. As the result of test that make the relations of used variables clear, we can get the conclusion as followings; First, Product Popularity has the positive effect on Informativeness, except reliability of Information. Second, it was significantly tested the effect on the Ease of use and Security by Product Playfulness. Third, Informativeness and Ease of Use, Security of App Store have the significantly positive effects on the Users' Trust directly. From the empirical test, I suggest the strategic advices in App Store Companies. To increase the Users' Continuance Intention or Loyalty, it would be developed that a variety of methods and ways to raise the Product Popularity and Playfulness, Informativeness, Ease of Use and Security of App Store. It is necessary for sticking the Users to raise the positive trust building and Continuance Intention.

The provision and application of public safety network in Korea is still insufficient for security response to the mobile app of public safety network in the stages of development, initial construction, demonstration, and initial service. The available terminals on the Disaster Safety Network (PS-LTE) are open, Android-based, dedicated terminals that potentially have vulnerabilities that can be used for a variety of mobile malware, requiring preemptive responses similar to FirstNet Certified in U.S and Google's Google Play Protect. In this paper, before listing the application service app on the public safety network mobile app store, we construct a data set for malicious and normal apps, extract features, select the most effective AI model, perform static and dynamic analysis, and analyze Based on the result, if it is not a malicious app, it is suggested to list it in the App Store. As it becomes essential to provide a service that blocks malicious behavior app listing in advance, it is essential to provide authorized authentication to minimize the security blind spot of the public safety network, and to provide certified apps for disaster safety and application service support. The safety of the public safety network can be secured.

Recently smart phones have been proliferating widely and quickly. Since the number of mobile apps that are being developed and deployed to domestic/international app stores is rising, more apps are being installed and deleted by users without any difficulty. The deployed apps are each attested through distinct verification framework of specific app stores. However, such verification frameworks are insufficient in checking security concerns. Unfortunately, the security verification framework is necessary since the incidents of leaking privacy and confidential information are being increased in lately. The aim of this paper is to provide the security verification framework that assures security and reliability of the e-government mobile apps. In order to verify proposed verification framework, a few apps were selected and inspected through proposed framework and these inspection results are included in this paper.

Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming a new standard in the game industry. PokeMon GO is a representative example of VR technology. The day after the launch of PokeMon Go in the U.S, It has achieved the highest number of iOS App Store downloads. This is an example of the power of VR. VR comprises gyroscopes, acceleration, tactile sensors, and so on. This allow users could be immersed in the game. As new technologies emerge, new and different threats are created. So we need to research the security of VR technology and game system. In this paper, we conduct a threat analysis for information assurance of VR device (Oculus Rift) and game system (Quake). We systematically analyze the threats (STRIDE, attack library, and attack tree). We propose security measures through DREAD. In addition, we use Visual Code Grepper (VCG) tool to find out logic errors and vulnerable functions in source code, and propose a method to solve them.

Purpose - The development and implementation of OSS (Open Source Software) led to a dramatic change in corporate IT infrastructure, from system server to smart phone, because the performance, reliability, and security functions of OSS are comparable to those of commercial software. Today, OSS has become an indispensable tool to cope with the competitive business environment and the constantly-evolving IT environment. However, the use of OSS is insufficient in small and medium-sized companies and software houses. This study examines the need for OSS Intermediaries in the Software Distribution Channel. It is expected that the role of the OSS Intermediary will be reduced with the improvement of the distribution process. The purpose of this research is to prove that OSS Intermediaries increase the efficiency of the software distribution market. Research design, Data, and Methodology - This study presents the analysis of data gathered online to determine the extent of the impact of the intermediaries on the OSS market. Data was collected using an online survey, conducted by building a personal search robot (web crawler). The survey period lasted 9 days during which a total of 233,021 data points were gathered from sourceforge.net and Apple's App store, the two most popular software intermediaries in the world. The data collected was analyzed using Google's Motion Chart. Results - The study found that, beginning 2006, the production of OSS in the Sourceforge.net increased rapidly across the board, but in the second half of 2009, it dropped sharply. There are many events that can explain this causality; however, we found an appropriate event to explain the effect. It was seen that during the same period of time, the monthly production of OSS in the App store was increasing quickly. The App store showed a contrasting trend to software production. Our follow-up analysis suggests that appropriate intermediaries like App store can enlarge the OSS market. The increase was caused by the appearance of B2C software intermediaries like App store. The results imply that OSS intermediaries can accelerate OSS software distribution, while development of a better online market is critical for corporate users. Conclusion - In this study, we analyzed 233,021 data points on the online software marketplace at Sourceforge.net. It indicates that OSS Intermediaries are needed in the software distribution market for its vitality. It is also critical that OSS intermediaries should satisfy certain qualifications to play a key role as market makers. This study has several interesting implications. One implication of this research is that the OSS intermediary should make an effort to create a complementary relationship between OSS and Proprietary Software. The second implication is that the OSS intermediary must possess a business model that shares the benefits with all the participants (developer, intermediary, and users).The third implication is that the intermediary provides an OSS of high quality like proprietary software with a high level of complexity. Thus, it is worthwhile to examine this study, which proves that the open source software intermediaries are essential in the software distribution channel.
