In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a realtime DNS Query Analysis System to detect and to protect from DNS attacks. The proposed system uses mirroring to collect data in DMZ, then analizes the collected data. As a result of the analysis, if the proposed system finds attack information, the information is used as a filtering information of firewall. statistic of the collected data is viewed as a realtime monitoring information on the web. To verify the effictiveness of the proposed system, we have built the proposed system and conducted some experiments. As the result, Our proposed system can be used effectively to defend DNS spoofing, DNS flooding attack, DNS amplification attack, can prevent interior network's attackers from attacking and provides realtime DNS query statistic information and geographic information for monitoring DNS query using GeoIP API and Google API. It can be useful information for ICT convergence and the future work.

Esmbedded devices such as smart cards and electronic passports highly demand security of sensitive data. So, the secure implementation of the cryptographic system against various side-channel attacks are becoming more important. In particular, the fault injection attack is one of the threats to the cryptosystem and can destroy the whole system only with single pair of the plain and cipher texts. Therefore, the implementors must consider seriously the attack. Several techniques for preventing fault injection attacks were introduced to a variety of the cryptosystem, But the countermeasures are still inefficient to be applied to the classical RSA cryptosystem. This paper introduces an efficient countermeasure against the fault injection attack for the classical RSA cryptosystem, which is based on the famous Fermat's theorem. The proposed countermeasure has the advantage that it has less computational overhead, compared with the previous countermeasures.

In this paper, we propose the efficient Second-Order Differential Power Analysis attack, which has ability to find significant information such as secret key in the devices consisting IT convergence environment such as Smartgrid, Advanced Metering Infrastructure(AMI) and ZigBee-based home networking service. This method helps to find the secret key easily at a device, even though it uses a countermeasure like masking which makes First-Order DPA attack harder. First, we present the performance results of our implementation which implements practical Second-Order DPA attack using the existing preprocessing function, and analyze it. Then we propose a stronger preprocessing function which overcomes countermeasures like masking. Finally, we analyze the results of the Second-Order CPA attack using proposed preprocessing function and verify that proposed scheme is very threatening to the security fields of IT convergence technology through the experimental results.

It is news from nowhere that post-quantum cryptography has side-channel analysis vulnerability. Side-channel analysis attack method and countermeasures for code-based McEliece cryptosystem and lattice-based NTRU cryptosystem have been investigated. Unfortunately, the investigation of the ring-LWE cryptosystem in terms of side-channel analysis is as yet insufficient. In this paper, we propose a chosen ciphertext simple power analysis attack that can be applied when ring-LWE cryptography operates on 8-bit devices. Our proposed attack can recover the key only with [$log_2q$] traces. q is a parameter related to the security level. It is used 7681 and 12289 to match the common 128 and 256-bit security levels, respectively. We identify the vulnerability through experiment that can reveal the secret key in modular add while the ring-LWE decryption performed on real 8-bit devices. We also discuss the attack that uses a similarity measurement method for two vectors to reduce attack time.

In this paper, we propose a reversely using the "Man In The Middle Attack" attack technique as a way to introduce network security without changing the physical structure and configuration of the existing network, a Virtual Network Overlay is formed with only a single Ethernet Interface. Implementing In-line mode to protect the network from external attacks, we propose an integrated control method through a micro network security sensor and cloud service. As a result of the experiment, it was possible to implement a logical In-line mode by forming a Virtual Network Overlay with only a single Ethernet Interface, and to implement Network IDS/IPS, Anti-Virus, Network Access Control, Firewall, etc.,. It was possible to perform integrated monitor and control in the service. The proposed system in this paper is helpful for small and medium-sized enterprises that expect high-performance network security at low cost, and can provide a network security environment with safety and reliability in the field of IoT and embedded systems.

Although the cryptographic algorithms in IC chip such as smart card are secure against mathematical analysis attack, they are susceptible to side channel attacks in real implementation. In this paper, we analyze the security of smart card using a developed experimental tool which can perform power analysis attacks and fault insertion attacks. As a result, raw smart card implemented SEED and ARIA without any countermeasure is vulnerable against differential power analysis(DPA) attack. However, in fault attack about voltage and clock on RSA with CRT, the card is secure due to its physical countermeasures.

Multivariate Quadratic (MQ)-based digital signature schemes have advantages such as ease of implementation and small signature sizes, making them promising candidates for post-quantum cryptography. To enhance the efficiency of such MQ-based digital signature schemes, utilizing sparse matrices have been proposed, including HiMQ, which has been standardized by Korean Telecommunications Technology Association standard. However, HiMQ shares a similar key structure with Rainbow, which is a representative MQ-based digital signature scheme and was broken by the MinRank attack proposed in 2022. While HiMQ was standardized by a TTA and recommended parameters were provided, these parameters were based on cryptanalysis as of 2020, without considering recent attacks. In this paper, we examine attacks applicable to MQ-based digital signatures, specifically targeting HiMQ, and perform a security analysis. The most effective attack against HiMQ is the combined attack, an improved version of the MinRank attack proposed in 2022, and none of the three recommended parameters satisfy the desired security strength. Furthermore, HiMQ-128 and HiMQ-160 do not meet the minimum security strength requirement of 128-bit security level.

The OSGi platform is a Java-based component platform that is being widely used from environments for the application development to enterprise software. The OSGi platform provides dynamic and transparent installation for open environments. However, it open new attacks so that many researches try to solve OSGi vulnerability. Security flaws in OSGi platform are categorized two parts: the JVM and the OSGi platform itself. We focus on vulnerability by OSGi platform itself, particularly service injection. We identify the service injection attack and suggest secure mechanisms to prevent the attack. Those mechanisms are implemented, providing a few modification to the Knopflerfish OSGi implementation and are evaluated through comparing with existing mechanisms.

Generally, network attacks are based on a scenario composed of a series of single-attacks, scenario attacks are launched over a wide network environment and their targets are not apparent. it is required to analyze entire packets captured on the network. This method makes it difficult to detect accurate patterns of attacks because it unnecessarily analyzes even packets unrelated to attacks. In this paper, we design and implement a simulation system for attacks scenario, which helps packet classification connected with attacks. The proposed system constitutes a target network for analysis in a virtual simulation environment, and it simulates dumping TCPDUMP packets including scenario attacks under the constructed virtual environment, We believe that our proposed simulation system will be a useful tool when security administrators perform the analysis of patterns of attack scenarios.

In this paper, a password recognition system that can overcome a shoulder-surfing attack is developed. During the time period of password insertion, the developed system can prevent the attack and enhance the safety of the password. In order to raise the detection rate of the password image, the mopology technique is utilized. By adapting 4 times of the expansion and dilation, the niose from the binary image of the password is removed. Finally, the mobile phone application is also developed to recognize the one time password and the detection rate is measured. It is shown that the detection rate of 90% is achieved under the dark light condition.
