A system-on-a-chip (SoC) design uses pre-verified IP hardware blocks in order to reduce design time. We need interface circuits to connect IPs with different protocols. In SoC design we should design interface circuits frequently and these tasks are somewhat time-consuming and error-prone. So it is necessary to generate the interface circuits automatically. Several studies have been made on generating interface circuits only from the communication protocols of IPs. With existing approaches, it is not easy to generate interface circuits connecting two IPs only from communication protocols: connection between IP with address and W without address, connection between IP with only one port to transfer address/data and IP with different ports for address and data connection between IP that transfer address and data together and IP that transfer only one address with a number of data in a burst. No consideration of various characteristics of IPs and no changed algorithm are responsible for it. In order to solve this problem, the proposed approach categorizes communication protocols of IPs, and takes characteristics matching of IPs into account during the interface synthesis. In experiments, we show that we could correctly generate and verify interface circuits for IPs with different characteristics.

In this paper, we analyse the vulnerability of spam attacks and develop the Spamtester to confirm these spam attacks in SIP-based VoIP networks. Although there are several spam attacks on VoIP networks, the detail information for the SPIT is not enough to confirm the procedure and the result of spam attacks on VoIP networks. Specially, the spam attacks through abnormal process are difficult to trace the sender of spam. Also, it is not easy to impose the legal restriction to the spammer because of lack of information for the spam attack. Therefore, on VoIP networks, the possible scenario and detail procedure for VoIP spam is needed to be confirmed. This paper designes and implementes the spamtester, which is helpful to protect VoIP networks from the spam attacks.

Traditional traffic identification methods based on wellknown port numbers are not appropriate for the identification of new types of Internet applications. This paper proposes a new method to identify current Internet traffic, which is a preliminary but essential step toward traffic characterization. We categorized most current network-based applications into several classes according to their traffic patterns. Then, using this categorization, we developed a flow grouping method that determines the application name of traffic flows. We have incorporated our method into NG-MON, a traffic analysis system, to analyze Internet traffic between our enterprise network and the Internet, and characterized all the traffic according to their application types.
