When sensor networks are deployed in open environments, an adversary may compromise some sensor nodes and use them to inject false sensing reports. False report attack can lead to not only false alarms but also the depletion of limited energy resources in battery powered networks. The Interleaved hop-by-hop authentication (IHA) scheme detects such false reports through interleaved authentication. In IHA, when a report is forwarded to the base station, all nodes on the path must spend energies on receiving, authenticating, and transmitting it. An dversary can spend energies in nodes by using the methods as a relaying attack which uses macro. The Adversary aim to drain the finite amount of energies in sensor nodes without sending false reports to BS, the result paralyzing sensor network. In this paper, we propose a countermeasure using fuzzy logic from the Denial of Service(DoS) attack and show an efficiency of energy through the simulataion result.

Packet sampling is the techniques to collect a part of the packets through network and analyze the characteristicsof the traffic for managing the network and keeping security. This paper presents a study on the sampling techniques applied to DDoS traffic and on the characteristics of the sampled traffic to detect DDoS attack efficiently and improve traffic analysis capacity. Three famous sampling techniques are evaluated with different sampling rates on various DDoS traffics. To analyze traffic characteristics, one of the DDoS attack detection method. Traffic Rate Analysis (TRA) is used. Simulation results verify that using sampling techniques preserve the traffic characteristics of DDoS and do not significantly reduce the detection accuracy.

Denial of Service (DoS) 공격은 현재 심각한 국가적 보안 문제로 떠오르고 있다. DoS 란, 많은양의 네트워크 트래픽을 발생시켜 속도를 매우 느리게 만들거나, 가용 자원을 고갈시켜 사용자에게 서비스를 정상적으로 제공하지 못하도록 만드는 공격이다. 그 중에서 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)는 네트워크에 분산된 컴퓨터들을 감염시켜 공격에 사용하기 때문에 더 위험하다. DDoS 종류 중 한가지인 Smurf Attack 은 ICMP ECHO 와 IP 브로드캐스트를 이용하여 많은 양의 트래픽을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 Smurf Attack 에 쓰이는 ICMP ECHO REQUEST 패킷을 조각화시켜서 전송할 시, 피해자에게 전송되는 패킷의 숫자가 기존 방법보다 증가하고 피해자 컴퓨터의 IP 스택에서 발생하는 취약점을 도출하고 그로 인한 피해를 분석하였다. 끝으로 ICMP ECHO 패킷의 조각화를 방지하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

DoS (Denial of Service) 공격은 주로 victim 호스트에 대량의 패킷을 보내거나 비정상적인 패킷을 보냄으로써 정상 사용자가 서비스를 이음하지 못하도록 하는 공격을 의미한다. 이러한 DoS 공격을 탐지하기 위해 다양한 기법들이 개발되어 왔으나, 공격의 종류와 방법은 시간이 흐를수록 매우 다양해지고 있어 이를 탐지하는데 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 패킷의 헤더정보를 감사 자료로 가지고 있는 NIDS (Network-based Intrusion Detection System)에 데이터 마이닝 기법을 적용기켜 이러한 DoS 공격을 탐지할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법을 이용하면 빠르고 자동화된 방법으로 DoS 공격을 탐지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안 기법을 이용하여 SYN Flooding 공격과 Teardown 공격에 대한 탐지가 가능함을 보인다.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a form of the emerging 4th industry in the 5G era. IoT is expected to develop naturally in our daily life in the 5G era in which high-speed communication will be completed. Along with the rise of IoT, concerns about security and malicious attacks are also increasing. This paper examines DoS attacks, which are one of the representative security threats of IoT and proposes a local detection and blocking system that are suitable for response to such attacks. First, systems of the LoRaWAN type, which are most actively researched in the IoT system field and DoS attacks that can occur in such systems were examined. Then, the inverse order tree algorithm using regional characteristics was designed as a cluster analysis form. Finally, a system capable of defending denial-of-service attacks in the 5G IoT system using local detection and blocking with the Euclidean distance was designed.

WiBro는 무선랜과 3G 이동통신의 장점을 결합한 휴대 인터넷 기술로 최근 국내에서 상용화 되었다. WiBro의 장점인 이동성과 고속 무선 통신에 기인하여, 향후 지속적인 발전이 기대된다. 이러한 WiBro의 확산에 따라 개인 사용자에 대한 보안문제가 최근 크게 부각되고 있다. 현재 Wibro는 3G 이동통신 및 무선랜과 효율적인 연동을 위해 EAP-AKA 인증기법을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 EAP-AKA는 단말이 기지국을 인증하지 못하는 치명적인 취약점이 있다. 따라서 공격자는 임의로 rogue BS를 설치할 수 있고, 정상 사용자의 데이터를 이종 네트워크로 보내는 Redirection Attack을 시도할 수 있다. Redirection Attack은 전송 속도 저하, Denial-of-Service (DoS) 을 초래하며, 데이터가 redirection 되는 이종 네트워크에 따라 암호화된 데이터가 노출될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 EAP-AKA와 Redirection Attack에 대해 분석하고, 그 해결책을 제시한다. 논문은 1) 프로토콜을 일부 수정하여 공격을 막는 방법과 2) traffic 분석을 통한 공격 탐지 방식을 다루고 있으며, 이러한 두 가지 방법을 통해 Redirection Attack에 대한 취약점을 근본적으로 제거할 수 있다.

To solve user authentication problem, many remote user authentication schemes using password and smart card at the same time have been proposed. Due to the increasing of interest in personal privacy, there were some recent researches to provide user anonymity. In 2004, Das et al. firstly proposed an authentication scheme that guarantees user anonymity using a dynamic ID. In 2005, Chien et al. pointed out that Das et al.'s scheme has a vulnerability for guaranteing user anonymity and proposed an improved scheme. However their authentication scheme was found some weaknesses about insider attack, DoS attack, and restricted replay attack. In this paper, we propose an enhanced scheme which can remove vulnerabilities of Chien et al.'s scheme. The proposed authentication protocol prevented insider attack by using user's Nonce value and removed the restricted replay attack by replacing time stamp with random number. Furthermore, we improved computational efficiency by eliminating the exponentiation operation.

While The passwords that combined with characters and numbers are easy to memorize and use, they have low complexity. Therefore they can easily be revealed by the shoulder-surfing attack when they are inputted through the input devices such like keyboard. To overcome these problems, many new authentication schemes, which change the user secret different form or let users input their secrets through the more complex manners, have been suggested, but it is still hard to find the balanced point between usability and security. S3PAS is one of well-known schemes which had both usability and security against shoulder-surfing attack. However, this scheme was not considered about intersection attack that the attacker tried to pass the authentication system after observing several authentication sessions. In this paper, we consider the security problem of S3PAS; what the attacker can do when he can observe the authentication sessions in several times. We confirm it through user study and experiments. And also we consider the alternative that overcomes the problem.

Password-based user-authentication schemes have been widely used when users access a server to avail internet services. Multiserver password-authentication schemes enable remote users to obtain service from multiple servers without separately registering with each server. In 2008, Jia-Lun Tsai proposed an improved and efficient password-authenticated key agreement scheme for a multiserver architecture based on Chang-Lee's scheme proposed in 2004. However, we found that Tsai's scheme does not provide forward secrecy and is weak to insider impersonation and denial of service attacks. In this article, we describe the drawbacks of Tsai's scheme and provide a countermeasure to satisfy the forward secrecy property.

Code-reuse attacks are very dangerous in various systems. This is because they do not inject malicious codes into target systems, but reuse the instruction sequences in executable files or libraries of target systems. Moreover, code-reuse attacks could be more harmful to IoT systems in the sense that it may not be easy to devise efficient and effective mechanism for code-reuse attack detection in resource-restricted IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a detection scheme with using Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to combat against code-reuse attacks in IoT. Specifically, we detect code-reuse attacks by calculating KL divergence between the probability distributions of the packets that generate from IoT devices and contain code region addresses in memory system and the probability distributions of the packets that come to IoT devices and contain code region addresses in memory system, checking if the computed KL divergence is abnormal.
