  • Sensor nodes are easily compromised by attacker when which are divided in open environment. The attacker may inject false report and false vote attack through compromised sensor node. These attacks interrupt to transmission legitimate report or the energy of sensor node is exhausted. PVFS are proposed by Li and Wu for countermeasure in two attacks. The scheme use inefficiency to energy of sensor node as fixed report threshold and verification node. In this paper, our propose the next neighbor node selection scheme based on fuzzy logic system for energy improvement of PVFS. The parameter of fuzzy logic system are energy, hops, verification success count, CH select high the next neighbor node among neighbor nodes of two as deduction based on fuzzy logic system. In the experimental, our proposed scheme was improvement to energy of about 9% compare to PVFS.

  • Distributed problem solving is the cooperative solution of problem by a decentralized and loosely couped collection of knowledge-sources (KS's), located in a number of distinct processor nodes. The contract net protocol has been developed to specify problem-solving communication and control for nodes in a distributed problem solver. Task distribution is affected by a negotiation process, a discussion carried on between nodes with tasks to be executed and nodes that may be able to execute tasks In this paper, we present the coordination method among distributed intrusion detection system and firewall by the contract net protocol. The method enhances the intrusion detection performance and provides the communication methods. To mode IDS and firewall, security models hue been hierarchically constructed based on the DEVS (Discrete Event system Specification) formalism. Each ID agent cooperates through the contract net protocol for detecting intrusions. The IDS which detects the intrusion informs to firewall, so the harmful network traffic is blocked. If an agent detects infusions, the agent transfers attacker's information to a firewall. Using this mechanism attacker's packets detected by In can be prevented from damaging the network.

  • The RR protocole, proposed in IETF mip6 WG and standardized by RFC 3775 at lune 2004, send a message 'Binding Update' that express MN's location information to CN safety and update location information. Standard RR protocole has some problems with initiating the protocol by the MN; it causes to increases in communication load in the home network, to increases communication delay between MN and CN. Also, is connoting vulnerability to against attacker who are on the path between CN and HA in security aspect. This paper proposes doing to delegate MN's location information update rights by HA new location information update method. That is, When update MN's location information to HA, Using MN's private key signed location information certificate use and this certificate using method that HA uses MN's location information at update to CN be. It decreases the route optimization overhead by reducing the number of messages as well as the using location information update time. Also, remove security weakness about against attacker who are on the path between CN and HA.

  • Smart Grid Devices could have security vulnerabilities that have legacy communication networks because of the fact that Smart Grid employs bi-directional communications and adopted a variety of communication interface. Consequently, it is required to build concrete response processes and to minimize the damage of the cyber attacks including security evaluation and certification methods. DCU is designed to collect meter data from numerous smart meter and send to utility's server so DCU installed between smart meter and utility's server. For this reason, If DCU compromised by attacker then attacker could use DCU to launching point for and attack on other devices. However, DCU's security evaluation and certification techniques do not suffice to be deployed in smart grid infrastructure. This work development DCU protection profile based on CC, it is expected that provide some assistance to DCU manufacturer for development of DCU security target and to DCU operator for help safety management of DCU.

  • The General security method of wireless network provides a confidentiality of communication contents based on the cryptographic stability against a malicious host. However, this method exposes the logical and physical addresses of both sender and receiver, so transmission volume and identification of both may be exposed although concealing that content. Covered address scheme that this paper proposes generates an address to which knapsack problem using super increasing sequence is applied, and replaces the addresses of sender and receiver with addresses from super increasing sequence. Also, proposed method changes frequently secret addresses, so a malicious user cannot watch a target system or try to attack the specific host. Proposed method also changes continuously a host address that attacker takes aim at. Accordingly, an attacker who tries to use DDoS attack cannot decide the specific target system.

  • Because a sensor node in wireless sensor networks(WSNs) has limited resources, such as battery capacity and memory, data aggregation techniques have been studied to manage the limited resources efficiently. Because sensor network uses wireless communication, a data can be disclosed by attacker. Thus, the study on data protection schemes for data aggregation is essential in WSNs. But the existing data aggregation methods require both a large number of computation and communication, in case of network construction and data aggregation processing. To solve the problem, we propose a data protection scheme based on Hilbert-curve for data aggregation. Our scheme can minimizes communications among neighboring sensor nodes by using tree-based routing. Moreover, it can protect the data from attacker by doing encryption through a Hilbert-curve technique based on a private seed, Finally, we show that our scheme outperforms the existing methods in terms of message transmission and average sensor node lifetime.

  • Android includes SEAndroid as a core security feature. SELinux is applied to Android OS as a SEAndroid, because there exists structural differences between Linux and Android. Since the security of SEAndroid depends on the reliable policy if the policy is tampered by the attacker, the serious security problems can be occurred. So we must protect policies which are the most important thing in SEAndoroid. In this paper, we analyze the process of SEAndroid policy updating to find out vulnerabilities and study the attack points on policy tampering. And we propose the SPPA to detect whether the policy is modified by an attacker. Moreover, we prove the performance and the effect of our proposed method on mobile device.

  • If an external attacker takes from a victim's smartphone a copy of a secret application or an application to which fingerprinting technique is applied, secret information can be leaked or the legitimate user can be misunderstood as an illegal redistributor, which results in a serious security problem. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an Android application code protection scheme using fingerprint authentication and dynamic loading. The proposed scheme divides one application into CLR(Class LoadeR) and SED(SEperated Dex). CLR is an APK file with the ability to dynamically load the SED, and the SED is a file containing the classes required to run the application. The SED is stored inside the smartphone after being encrypted, and the SED can be decrypted only if the user is successfully authenticated using his or her fingerprint. The proposed scheme can protect the application code from the attacker who physically acquired user's smartphone.

  • As one of the four basic technologies of IOT (Internet of Things), M2M technology whose advance could influence on the technology of Internet of Things has a rapid development. Mobile Payment is one of the most widespread applications in M2M. Due to applying wireless network in Mobile Payment, the security issues based on wireless network have to be solved. The technologies applied in solutions generally include two sorts, encryption mechanism and authentication mechanism, the focus in this paper is the authentication mechanism of Mobile Payment. In this paper, we consider that there are four vital things in the authentication mechanism of Mobile Payment: two-way authentication, re-authentication, roaming authentication and inside authentication. Two-way authentication is to make the mobile device and the center system trust each other, and two-way authentication is the foundation of the other three. Re-authentication is to re-establish the active communication after the mobile subscriber changes his point of attachment to the network. Inside authentication is to prevent the attacker from obtaining the privacy via attacking the mobile device if the attacker captures the mobile device. Roaming authentication is to prove the mobile subscriber's legitimate identity to the foreign agency when he roams into a foreign place, and roaming authentication can be regarded as the integration of the above three. After making a simulation of our proposed authentication mechanism and analyzing the existed schemes, we summarize that the authentication mechanism based on the mentioned above in this paper and the encryption mechanism establish the integrate security framework of Mobile Payment together. This makes the parties of Mobile Payment apply the services which Mobile Payment provides credibly.

  • In this paper, we analyze the possibility of deregistration attack in 5G SNPN (Standalone Non-Public Network) based on 3GPP standard document. In the deregistraion attack, the attacker pretends to be a UE that is normally registered with AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) and attempts to establish a spoofed RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection, causing AMF to deregister the existing UE. The existing deregistration attack attempts a spoofed RRC connection to the AMF in which the UE is registered. In addition, this paper analyzes whether deregistration attack is possible even when an attacker attempts to establish a spoofed RRC connection to a new AMF that is different from the registered AMF. When the 5G mobile communication network system is implemented by faithfully complying with the 3GPP standard, it is determined that a deregistration attack of a UE is impossible.
