The In the 4^th industrial revolution, cyber space will evolve into hyper-connectivity, super-convergence, and super-intelligence due to the development of advanced information and communication technologies, which will connect the nation's core infrastructure into a single network. As applying the 4^th industrial revolution technology to the cyber attack technique, it is evolving in an intelligent and sophisticate method. In order to response intelligent cyber attacks, it is difficult to guarantee self-defense in cyberspace by policy-oriented, preplanned-centric and hierarchical cyber response strategies. Therefore, this research aims to propose a situation-flexible & action-oriented cyber response mechanism that can respond flexibly by selecting the most optimal smart security solution according to changes in the cyber attack steps. The proposed cyber response mechanism operates the smart security solutions according to the action-oriented detailed strategies. In addition, artificial intelligence-based decision-making systems are used to select the smart security technology with the best responsiveness.

Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs) have been continuously digitalized. These systems have a critical role in the operation of nuclear facilities by functioning as the brain of NPPs. In recent years, as cyber security threats to NPP systems have increased, regulatory and policy-related organizations around the world, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Korea Institute of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Control (KINAC), have emphasized the importance of nuclear cyber security by publishing cyber security guidelines and recommending cyber security requirements for NPP facilities. As described in NRC Regulatory Guide (Reg) 5.71 and KINAC RS015, challenge response authentication should be applied to the critical digital I&C system of NPPs to satisfy the cyber security requirements. There have been no cases in which the most robust response authentication technology like challenge response has been developed and applied to nuclear I&C systems. This paper presents a challenge response authentication mechanism for a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system used as a control system in the safety system of the Advanced Power Reactor (APR) 1400 NPP.

As various services are linked to IoT(Internet of Things) and portable communication terminals, cyber attacks that exploit security vulnerabilities of the devices are rapidly increasing. In particular, cyber attacks targeting heterogeneous devices in large-scale network environments through advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks are on the rise. Therefore, in order to improve the effectiveness of the response system in the event of a breach, it is necessary to apply a data enrichment mechanism for the collected artifact data to improve threat analysis and detection performance. Therefore, in this study, by analyzing the data supplementation common elements performed in the existing incident management framework for the artifacts collected for the analysis of intrusion accidents, characteristic elements applicable to the actual system were derived, and based on this, an improved accident analysis framework The prototype structure was presented and the suitability of the derived data supplementary extension elements was verified. Through this, it is expected to improve the detection performance when analyzing cyber incidents targeting artifacts collected from heterogeneous devices.

The forms of current war are diversified over the pan-national industry. Among these, one kind of threats which has permeated the cyber space based on the advanced information technology causes a new type of war. C4ISR, the military IT revolution, as a integrated technology innovation of Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance suggests that the aspect of the future war hereafter is changing much. In this paper, we design the virtual decoy system and intrusion trace marking mechanism which can capture various attempts and evidence of intrusion by hackers in cyber space, trace the penetration path and protect a system. By the suggested technique, we can identify and traceback the traces of intrusion in cyber space, or take a legal action with the seized evidence.

It has become more difficult to correspond a cyber attack quickly as patterns of attack become various and complex. However, current security mechanism just have passive defense functionalities. In this paper, we propose new network security mechanism to respond various cyber attacks rapidly and to chase and isolate the attackers through cooperation between security zones. The proposed mechanism makes it possible to deal effectively with cyber attacks such as IP spoofing, by using active packet technology including a mobile code on active network. Also, it is designed to hove more active correspondent than that of existing mechanisms. We implemented these mechanisms in Linux routers and experimented on a testbed to verify realization possibility of attacker response framework using mobile code. The experimentation results are analyzed.

Recently, the patterns of cyber attack through internet have been various and have become more complicated and thus it is difficult to detect a network intruder effectively and to response the intrusion quickly. Therefore, It is almost not possible to chase the real location of a network intruder and to isolate the Intruder from network in UDP based DoS or DDoS attacks spoofing source IP address and in TCP based detour connection attacks. In this paper, we propose active security architecture on active network to correspond to various cyber attacks promptly. Security management framework is designed using active technology, and security control mechanism to chase and isolate a network intruder is implemented. We also test the operation of the active security mechanism implemented on test_bed according to several attack scenarios and analyze the experiment results.

In this paper, we propose a finite impulse response (FIR) filter under malicious cyber attacks. The FIR filter shows the robust performance against the malicious cyber attacks. The Kalman filter (KF), one of the widely used filters, is introduced as a comparison of robust performance of the proposed method. The robust performance of the proposed method under malicious cyber attacks is demonstrated through experimental results.

In order to actively respond to cyber attacks, not only the security systems such as IDS, IPS, and Firewalls, but also ESM, a system that detects cyber attacks by analyzing various log data, are preferably deployed. However, as the attacks be come more elaborate and advanced, existing signature-based detection methods start to face their limitations. In response to that, researches upon symptom detection technology based on attack modeling by employing big-data analysis technology are actively on-going. This symptom detection technology is effective when it can accurately extract features of attacks and manipulate them to successfully execute the attack modeling. We propose the ways to extract attack features which can play a role as the basis of the modeling and detect intelligent threats by carrying out scenario-based modeling.

Hackers' cyber attack techniques are becoming more sophisticated and diversified, with a form of attack that has never been seen before. In terms of information security vulnerability standard code (CVE), about 90,000 new codes were registered from 2015 to 2020. This indicates that security threats are increasing rapidly. When new security vulnerabilities occur, damage should be minimized by preparing countermeasures for them, but in many cases, companies are insufficient to cover the security management level and response system with a limited security IT budget. The reason is that it takes about a month for analysts to discover vulnerabilities through manual analysis, prepare countermeasures through security equipment, and patch security vulnerabilities. In the case of the public sector, the National Cyber Safety Center distributes and manages security operation policies in a batch. However, it is not easy to accept the security policy according to the characteristics of the manufacturer, and it takes about 3 weeks or more to verify the traffic for each section. In addition, when abnormal traffic inflow occurs, countermeasures such as detection and detection of infringement attacks through vulnerability analysis must be prepared, but there are limitations in response due to the absence of specialized security experts. In this paper, we proposed a method of using the security policy information sharing site "snort.org" to prepare effective countermeasures against new security vulnerability attacks.

mVoIP (mobile Voice over Internet Protocol) service is a technology to transmit voice data through an IP network using mobile device. mVoIP provides various supplementary services with low communication cost. It can maximize the availability and efficiency by using IP-based network resources. In addition, the users can use voice call service at any time and in any place, as long as they can access the Internet on mobile device easily. However, SIP on mobile device is exposed to IP-based attacks and threats. Observed cyber threats to SIP services include wiretapping, denial of service, and service misuse, VoIP spam which are also applicable to existing IP-based networks. These attacks are also applicable to SIP and continuously cause problems. In this study, we analysis the threat and vulnerability on mVoIP service and propose several possible attack scenarios on existing mobile VoIP devices. Based on a proposed analysis and vulnerability test mechanism, we can construct more enhanced SIP security mechanism and stable mobile VoIP service framework after eliminating its vulnerability on mobile telephony system.
