  • The Detection Model is the model to find the result of a certain purpose using artificial intelligent, data mining, intelligent algorithms In Cyber Security, it usually uses to detect intrusion, malwares, cyber incident, and attacks etc. There are an amount of unlabeled data that are collected in a real environment such as security data. Since the most of data are not defined the class labels, it is difficult to know type of data. Therefore, the label determination process is required to detect and analysis with accuracy. In this paper, we proposed a KDFL(K-means and D-S Fusion based Labeling) method using D-S inference and k-means(unsupervised) algorithms to decide label of data records by fusion, and a detection model architecture using a proposed labeling method. A proposed method has shown better performance on detection rate, accuracy, F1-measure index than other methods. In addition, since it has shown the improved results in error rate, we have verified good performance of our proposed method.

  • As a recent cyber attack has a characteristic that is intellectual, advanced, and complicated attack against precise purpose and specified object, it becomes extremely hard to recognize or respond when accidents happen. Since a scale of damage is very large, a corresponding system about this situation is urgent in national aspect. Existing data center or integration security framework of computer lab is evaluated to be a behind system when it corresponds to cyber attack. Therefore, this study suggests a better sophisticated next generation convergence security framework in order to prevent from attacks based on advanced persistent threat. Suggested next generation convergence security framework is designed to have preemptive responses possibly against APT attack consisting of five hierarchical steps in domain security layer, domain connection layer, action visibility layer, action control layer and convergence correspondence layer. In domain connection layer suggests security instruction and direction in domain of administration, physical and technical security. Domain security layer have consistency of status information among security domain. A visibility layer of Intellectual attack action consists of data gathering, comparison, decision, lifespan cycle. Action visibility layer is a layer to control visibility action. Lastly, convergence correspond layer suggests a corresponding system of before and after APT attack. An introduction of suggested next generation convergence security framework will execute a better improved security control about continuous, intellectual security threat.

  • New types of attacks that mainly compromise the public, portal and financial websites for the purpose of economic profit or national confusion are being emerged and evolved. In addition, in case of 'drive by download' attack, if a host just visits the compromised websites, then the host is infected by a malware. Website falsification detection system is one of the most powerful solutions to cope with such cyber threats that try to attack the websites. Many domestic CERTs including NCSC (National Cyber Security Center) that carry out security monitoring and response service deploy it into the target organizations. However, the existing techniques for the website falsification detection system have practical problems in that their time complexity is high and the detection accuracy is not high. In this paper, we propose website falsification detection system based on image and code analysis for improving the performance of the security monitoring and response service in CERTs. The proposed system focuses on improvement of the accuracy as well as the rapidity in detecting falsification of the target websites.

  • As advanced cyber threats continue to increase in recent years, it is difficult to detect new types of cyber attacks with existing pattern or signature-based intrusion detection method. Therefore, research on anomaly detection methods using data learning-based artificial intelligence technology is increasing. In addition, supervised learning-based anomaly detection methods are difficult to use in real environments because they require sufficient labeled data for learning. Research on an unsupervised learning-based method that learns from normal data and detects an anomaly by finding a pattern in the data itself has been actively conducted. Therefore, this study aims to extract a latent vector that preserves useful sequence information from sequence log data and develop an anomaly detection learning model using the extracted latent vector. Word2Vec was used to create a dense vector representation corresponding to the characteristics of each sequence, and an unsupervised autoencoder was developed to extract latent vectors from sequence data expressed as dense vectors. The developed autoencoder model is a recurrent neural network GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) based denoising autoencoder suitable for sequence data, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network-based autoencoder to solve the limited short-term memory problem that GRU can have, and an autoencoder combining GRU and one-dimensional convolution was used. The data used in the experiment is time-series-based NGIDS (Next Generation IDS Dataset) data, and as a result of the experiment, an autoencoder that combines GRU and one-dimensional convolution is better than a model using a GRU-based autoencoder or a one-dimensional convolution-based autoencoder. It was efficient in terms of learning time for extracting useful latent patterns from training data, and showed stable performance with smaller fluctuations in anomaly detection performance.

  • Recently, various information technologies such as network communication and sensors have begun to be integrated into weapon systems that were previously operated in stand-alone. This helps the operators of the weapon system to make quick and accurate decisions, thereby allowing for effective operation of the weapon system. However, as the involvement of the cyber domain in weapon systems increases, it is expected that the potential for damage from cyber attacks will also increase. To develop a secure weapon system, it is necessary to implement built-in security, which helps considering security from the requirement stage of the software development process. The U.S. Department of Defense is implementing the Risk Management Framework Assessment and Authorization (RMF A&A) process, along with the introduction of the concept of cybersecurity, for the evaluation and acquisition of weapon systems. Similarly, South Korea is also continuously making efforts to implement the Korea Risk Management Framework (K-RMF). However, so far, there are no cases where K-RMF has been applied from the development stage, and most of the data and documents related to the U.S. RMF A&A are not disclosed for confidentiality reasons. In this study, we propose the method for inferring the composition of the K-RMF based on systematic threat analysis method and the publicly released documents and data related to RMF. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our inferring method by applying it to the naval battleship system.

  • Along with the development of Internet services such as Social Network Service (SNS) and blog Service, the privacy is very important in these services. But personal data is not safety from exposure to internet service. If personal data is leak out, the privacy is disclosed to hacker or illegal person and the personal information can be used in a cyber crime as phishing attacks. Therefore, the model and method that protects to disclose privacy is requested in SNS and blog services. The model must evaluate degree of exposure to protect privacy and the method protects personal information from Internet services. This paper proposes a model to evaluate risk for privacy with property of personal data and exposure level of internet service such as bulletin board. Also, we show a method using degree of risk to evaluate with a proposed model at bulletin board.

  • Recently cyber attacks can cause serious damage on various information systems. Log data analysis would be able to resolve this problem. Security log analysis system allows to cope with security risk properly by collecting, storing, and analyzing log data information. In this paper, a security log analysis system is designed and implemented in order to analyze security log data using the Logstash in the Elasticsearch, a distributed search engine which enables to collect and process various types of log data. The Kibana, an open source data visualization plugin for Elasticsearch, is used to generate log statistics and search report, and visualize the results. The performance of Elasticsearch-based security log analysis system is compared to the existing log analysis system which uses the Flume log collector, Flume HDFS sink and HBase. The experimental results show that the proposed system tremendously reduces both database query processing time and log data analysis time compared to the existing Hadoop-based log analysis system.

  • As a company's network structure is getting bigger and the number of security system is increasing, it is not easy to quickly detect abnormal traffic from huge amounts of security system events. In this paper, We propose traffic visualization analysis system(FDANT-PCSV) that can detect and analyze security events of information security systems such as firewalls in real time. FDANT-PCSV consists of Parallel Coordinates visualization using five factors(source IP, destination IP, destination port, packet length, processing status) and Sankey visualization using four factors(source IP, destination IP, number of events, data size) among security events. In addition, the use of big data-based SIEM enables real-time detection of network attacks and network failure traffic from the internet and intranet. FDANT-PCSV enables cyber security officers and network administrators to quickly and easily detect network abnormal traffic and respond quickly to network threats.

  • Recently, Format-Preserving-Encryption (FEA) was suggested by the National Security Research institute (NSR) as an encryption method while maintaining the format without a distortion to the intended information to be encrypted. In this paper, we propose a scheme to solve conventional cyber security problems by using FEA scheme. First, we present the method to encrypt signatures and extensions with FEA in order to effectively defend against Ransomeware attacks. This technique can mitigate the exposure to the Ransomeware by encrypting the minimum information. Second, in order to reduce the secret information for Steganography, we introduce a new way to minimize the secret information with FEA. Finally, we compare the operation speed by encryption with FEA and Lightweight Encryption Algorithm (LEA), furthermore when we optimize FEA we want to compare with the performance improvement accompanying with it.
