Based on electrophysiological retina mechanism, a retina model is proposed, which has similar response characteristics compared with the real primate retina. Photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells are modeled based on the previously studied retina models. And amacrine cells known to have relation to movements detection, and bipolar cell terminals are newly modeled using 3 NDP mechanism. The proposed model verified by analyzing the spatial response characteristics to stationary and moving stimuli, and characteristics for different speeds. Through this retina model, human vision system could be applied to computer vision systems for movement detection, and it could be the basic research for the implantable artificial retina.

Vulnerabilities related to memory have been known as major threats to the security of a computer system. Actually, the number of attacks using memory vulnerability has been increased. Accordingly, various memory protection mechanisms have been studied and implemented on operating system while new attack techniques bypassing the protection systems have been developed. Especially, buffer overflow attacks have been developed as Return-Oriented Programing(ROP) and Jump-Oriented Programming(JOP) called Code Re-used attack to bypass the memory protection mechanism. Thus, in this paper, I analyzed code re-use attack techniques emerged recently among attacks related to memory, as well as analyzed various detection mechanisms proposed previously. Based on the results of the analyses, a mechanism that could detect various code re-use attacks on a binary level was proposed. In addition, it was verified through experiments that the proposed mechanism could detect code re-use attacks effectively.

Attacks in wireless sensor networks (WSN), are similar to the attacks in ad-hoc networks because there are deployed on a wireless environment. However existing security mechanism cannot apply to WSN, because it has limited resource and hostile environment. One of the typical attack in WSN is setting up wrong route that using wormhole. To overcome this threat, Ji-Hoon Yun et al. proposed WODEM (WOrmhole attack DEfense Mechanism) which can detect and counter with wormhole. In this scheme, it can detect and counter with wormhole attacks by comparing hop count and initial TTL (Time To Live) which is pre-defined. The selection of a initial TTL is important since it can provide a tradeoff between detection ability ratio and energy consumption. In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy rule-based system for TTL determination that can conserve energy, while it provides sufficient detection ratio in wormhole attack.

Recently, the number of attacks by malicious application has significantly increased, targeting Android-platform mobile terminal such as Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab 10.1. The malicious application can be distributed to currently used mobile devices through open market masquerading as an normal application. An attacker inserts malicious code into an application, which might threaten privacy by rooting attack. Once the rooting attack is successful, malicious code can collect and steal private data stored in mobile terminal, for example, SMS messages, contacts list, and public key certificate for banking. To protect the private information from the malicious attack, malicious code detection, rooting attack detection and countermeasure method are required. To meet this end, this paper investigates rooting attack mechanism for Android-platform mobile terminal. Based on that, this paper proposes countermeasure system that enables to extract and collect events related to attacks occurring from mobile terminal, which contributes to active protection from malicious attacks.

Today, to block spam texts on smartphone, a simple string comparison between text messages and spam keywords or a blocking spam phone numbers is used. As results, spam text is sent in a gradually hanged way to prevent if from being automatically blocked. In particular, for words included in spam keywords, spam texts are sent to abnormal words using special characters, Chinese characters, and whitespace to prevent them from being detected by simple string match. There is a limit that traditional spam filtering methods can't block these spam texts well. Therefore, new technologies are needed to respond to changing spam text messages. In this paper, we propose a knowledge graph-based new words detection mechanism that can detect new words frequently used in spam texts and respond to changing spam texts. Also, we show experimental results of the performance when detected Korean new words are applied to the Naive Bayes algorithm.

A $8{\times}8$ foveated (log-polar) retina chip for edge detection has been designed and fabricated using CMOS technology. Retina chip performs photo-input sensing, edge extraction and motion detection and we focused edge extraction. The pixel distribution follows the log-polar transform having more resolution in the center than in the periphery and can reduce image information selectively. This kind of structure has been already employed in simple image sensors for normal cameras, but never in edge detection retina chip. A scaling mechanism is needed due to the different pixel size from circumference to circumference. A mechanism for current scaling in this research is channel width scaling of MOS transistor. The designed chip has been fabricated using standard $1.5{\mu}m$ single-poly double-metal CMOS technology.

BcN is a high-quality broadband network for multimedia services integrating telecommunication, broadcasting, and Internet seamlessly at anywhere, anytime, and using any device. BcN is Particularly vulnerable to intrusion because it merges various traditional networks, wired, wireless and data networks. Because of this, one of the most important aspects in BcN is security in terms of reliability. So, in this paper, we suggest the sharing mechanism of security data among various service networks on the BcN. This distributed, hierarchical architecture enables BcN to be robust of attacks and failures, controls data traffic going in and out the backbone core through IP edge routers integrated with IDRS. Our proposed anomaly detection scheme on IDRS for BcN service also improves detection rate compared to the previous conventional approaches.

Recently, the trial and success of malicious cyber attacks has been increased rapidly with spreading of Internet and the activation of a internet shopping mall and the supply of an online internet, so it is expected to make a problem more and more. Currently, the general security system based on Internet couldn't cope with the attack properly, if ever, other regular systems have depended on common softwares to cope with the attack. In this paper, we propose the positive selection mechanism and negative selection mechanism of T-cell, which is the biological distributed autonomous system, to develop the self/non-self recognition algorithm, the anomalous behavior detection algorithm, and AIS (Artificial Immune System) that is easy to be concrete on the artificial system. The proposed algorithm can cope with new intrusion as well as existing one to intrusion detection system in the network environment.

In particular, gas sensors require characteristics such as high speed, sensitivity, and selectivity. In this study, we fabricated a $NO_X$ gas sensor by using a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite film. The fabricated MWCNT/ZnO gas sensor was then treated by a $450^{\circ}C$ temperature process to increase its detection sensitivity for NOx gas. We compared the detection characteristics of a ZnO film gas sensor, MWCNT film gas sensor, and the MWCNT/ZnO composited film gas sensor with and without the heat-treatment process. The fabricated gas sensors were used to detect $NO_X$ gas at different concentrations. The gas sensor absorbed $NO_X$ gas molecules, exhibiting increased sensitivity. The sensitivity of the gas sensor was increased by increasing the gas concentration. Additionally, while changing the temperature inside the chamber for the MWCNT/ZnO composite film gas sensor, we obtained its sensitivity for detecting $NO_X$ gas. Compared with ZnO, the MWCNT film gas sensor is excellent for detecting $NO_X$ gas. From the experimental results, we confirmed the enhanced gas sensor sensing mechanism. The increased effect by electronic interaction between the MWCNT and ZnO films contributes to the improved sensor performance.

In this paper, we propose a method to detect and block Meltdown malicious code which is increasing rapidly using dynamic sandbox tool. Although some patches are available for the vulnerability of Meltdown attack, patches are not applied intentionally due to the performance degradation of the system. Therefore, we propose a method to overcome the limitation of existing signature detection method by using machine learning method for infrastructures without active patches. First, to understand the principle of meltdown, we analyze operating system driving methods such as virtual memory, memory privilege check, pipelining and guessing execution, and CPU cache. And then, we extracted data by using Linux strace tool for detecting Meltdown malware. Finally, we implemented a decision tree based dynamic detection mechanism to identify the meltdown malicious code efficiently.
