  • The In the 4th 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 4th 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.

  • Fault attacks are a powerful side channel analysis extracting secret information by analyzing the result after injecting faults physically during the implementation of a cryptographic algorithm. First, this paper analyses vulnerable points of existing Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) schemes secure against fault attacks. Then we propose a new signature algorithm immune to all fault attacks. The proposed DSA scheme is designed to signature by using two nonce and an error diffusion method.

  • The cyber attacks on the computer system in nowadays are focused on works that do not operate specific application. The main key point that we protect information security system has an access control to keep an application. Most of system has a main function to protect an infrastructure such as hardware, network and operating system. In this paper, we have presented an intrusion tolerance system that can service an application in spite of cyber attacks. The proposed system is based on the middle ware integrating security mechanism and separate function of application and intrusion tolerance. The main factor we use security system in nowadays is service to keep a persistency. The proposed intrusion tolerance system is applicable to such as medical, national defense and banking system.

  • As the traffic environment gradually changes to autonomous driving and intelligent transport systems, vehicles are becoming increasingly complicated and intelligent, and their connectivity is greatly expandinged. As a result, attack vectors of such vehicles increasing, and security threats further expanding. Currently, various solutions for vehicle security are being developed and applied, but the damage caused by cyber attacks is still increasing. In recent years, vehicles such as the Tesla Model S and Mitsubishi Outlander have been hacked and remotely controlled by an attacker. Therefore, there is a need for advanced security technologies to cope with increasingly intelligent and sophisticated automotive cyber attacks. In this article, we introduce the latest trends of autonomous vehicles and their security threats, as well as the current status and issues of security technologies to cope with them.

  • We propose an efficient exponentiation method which is resistant against some side channel attacks in $T_2(p)$, Torus-Based-Cryptosystem. It is more efficient than the general exponentiation method in $T_2(p)$ and is resistant against SPA by using that the difference of squaring and multiplication costs is negligible. Moreover, we can randomize a message in exponentiation step using the characteristic of quotient group which naturally protects against the first DPA.

  • 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.

  • Recently the paradigm of cyber attacks is changing due to the information security technology improvement. The cyber attack that uses the social engineering and targets the end users has been increasing as the organization's systems and networks security controls have been tightened. The 91% of APT(Advanced Persistent Threat) which targets an enterprise or a government agency to get the important data and disable the critical service starts with the spear phishing email. In this paper, we analysed the security threats and characteristics of the spear phishing in detail and explained why the technical solutions are not enough to prevent spear phishing attacks. Therefore, we proposed the administrative prevention methods for the spear phishing attack.

  • The damage is increasing due to many encroachment accidents caused by increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. Many institutions and businesses lack early response to invest a lot of resources in the infrastructure for incident detection. The initial response of an intrusion is to identify the route of attack, and many cyber attacks are targeted at software vulnerabilities. Therefore, analyzing the artifacts of a Windows system against software vulnerabilities and classifying the analyzed data can be utilized for rapid initial response. Therefore, the remaining artifacts upon entry of attacks by software are classified, and artifact grouping is presented for use in analysis of encroachment accidents.

  • With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, the problem of privacy protection has been paid great attention. Recently, Nikooghadam et al. pointed out that Kumari et al.'s protocol can neither resist off-line guessing attack nor preserve user anonymity. Moreover, the authors also proposed an authentication supportive session initial protocol, claiming to resist various vulnerability attacks. Unfortunately, this paper proves that the authentication protocols of Kumari et al. and Nikooghadam et al. have neither the ability to preserve perfect forward secrecy nor the ability to resist key-compromise impersonation attack. In order to remedy such flaws in their protocols, we design a lightweight authentication protocol using elliptic curve cryptography. By way of informal security analysis, it is shown that the proposed protocol can both resist a variety of attacks and provide more security. Afterward, it is also proved that the protocol is resistant against active and passive attacks under Dolev-Yao model by means of Burrows-Abadi-Needham logic (BAN-Logic), and fulfills mutual authentication using Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA) software. Subsequently, we compare the protocol with the related scheme in terms of computational complexity and security. The comparative analytics witness that the proposed protocol is more suitable for practical application scenarios.
