  • Information security organization has normally been organized under the IT department. However, as the importance of information security has gradually increased, the way of information security organized for enterprise security management has become a noteworthy issue. The need for separation of Information security organization from IT department is growing, such as restriction on the concurrent positions in CIO and CISO. Nowadays there are many studies about Information security organization while relatively there has been minimal research regarding a departmentalization. For these reasons this study proposes a Information Security Departmentalization Model which is based on business risk and reliance on the IT for effectively organizing Information security organization, using Contingency theory. In addition, this study classified the position of Information security organization into Planning & Coordination, Internal Control, Management and IT and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each case.

  • The Remote Procedure Call(RPC) has been traditionally used for Inter Process Communication(IPC) among precesses in distributed computing environment. As distributed applications have been complicated more and more, the Mobile Agent paradigm for IPC is emerged. Because there are some paradigms for IPC, researches to evaluate and compare the performance of each paradigm are issued recently. But the performance models used in the previous research did not reflect real distributed computing environment correctly, because they did not consider the evacuation elements for providing security services. Since real distributed environment is open, it is very vulnerable to a variety of attacks. In order to execute applications securely in distributed computing environment, security services which protect applications and information against the attacks must be considered. In this paper, we evaluate and compare the performance of the Remote Procedure Call with that of the Mobile Agent in IPC paradigms. We examine security services to execute applications securely, and propose new performance models considering those services. We design performance models, which describe information retrieval system through N database services, using Petri Net. We compare the performance of two paradigms by assigning numerical values to parameters and measuring the execution time of two paradigms. In this paper, the comparison of two performance models with security services for secure communication shows the results that the execution time of the Remote Procedure Call performance model is sharply increased because of many communications with the high cryptography mechanism between hosts, and that the execution time of the Mobile Agent model is gradually increased because the Mobile Agent paradigm can reduce the quantity of the communications between hosts.

  • In the course of Internet proliferation. many network-related technologies are examined for possible growth and evolution. The use of Internet-based technologies in private networks has further fuelled the demand for network-based applications. The most Promising among the new paradigms is use of mobile agents. It also however, suffers from a major drawback, namely the potential for malicious attacks, abuse of resources pilfering of information, and other security issues. These issues are significantly hampering the acceptance of the mobile-agent paradigm. This paper proposed the design of strong and safe mobile agent gateway that split and merge the agent code with security policy database. This mechanism will promote the security in mobile agent systems and mobile agent itself.

  • The System of communication with wireless devices is experiencing a huge growth. While traditional communication paradigms deal with fixed networks, mobility raises a new set of questions, techniques, and solutions. In order to realize service mobility, there is a need of protocol that can support mobility while nodes are communicating without any disruption of their connection status. This paper proposes a handover authentication protocol for mobility support. Careful considerations must be taken in priority to security issues since many unreliable public and private resources; both networks and devices are involved. The protocol is based on public key cryptography with Diffie-Hellman algorithm which provides security against both leakage-resilience of private keys on untrustworthy devices and forward secrecy.

  • Development of IT technology as well as arrival of information-oriented society raise the curtain of 'the era of Ubiquitous Computing', implying accessing computers beyond boundary of time and space. In this era, it is expected that IT paradigms and life-styles would be transformed immensely above the experiences of 20th century. However, improvement of technology summons a new risk of cyber terrorism which have not been in the past. Thus, it is urgent to prepare for the threats in the national level. This paper point out five major threats relating to 'the security in the era of Ubiquitous Computing'. : First, spread of threats in connection with BcN establishment, second, vulnerable information-security for wireless communication, third, leakage of private information, fourth, cyber terror and deterioration of security, fifth, security problems of Korea including the drain of military information and solutions in the views of organization, personnel, technology and budget, comparing with other countries.

  • Web service technology will be used in various business fields and it will affect business paradigms. But, however, there is no standard so far and we have many problems to be solved in order to insure interoperability and security. Especially we have to solve Web service security for effective utilization of the technology and otherwise, the technology will not be used in the business field. We, therefore, need to develope security technology which fits to the Web service characteristics. This document describes a proposed strategy for addressing security within a Web service environment based on the results of analysis on the Web service security problems.

  • The paradigm of war is basically changed by development of information and communication technologies. One of the paradigms in future war is NCW(Network-Centric Warfare) that is purposed of achievement in information-superiority. In this future war, the level of menace and fragility is rapidly increased in information-security according to the massive information and complex system. Therefore the Korean army is developing the information-security technologies for NCW. But, until now patent analysis concerning NCW has not performed. In this paper, we suggest a meaningful data for efficient R&D through patent analysis of information-security technologies on NCW.

  • Password-based authentication key exchange (PAKE) protocols in the literature typically assume a password that is shared between a client and a server. PAKE has been applied in various environments, especially in the “client-server” applications of remotely accessed systems, such as e-banking. With the rapid developments in modern communication environments, such as ad-hoc networks and ubiquitous computing, it is customary to construct a secure peer-to-peer channel, which is quite a different paradigm from existing paradigms. In such a peer-to-peer channel, it would be much more common for users to not share a password with others. In this paper, we consider password-based authentication key exchange in the three-party setting, where two users do not share a password between themselves but only with one server. The users make a session-key by using their different passwords with the help of the server. We propose an efficient password-based authentication key exchange protocol with different passwords that achieves forward secrecy in the standard model. The protocol requires parties to only memorize human-memorable passwords; all other information that is necessary to run the protocol is made public. The protocol is also light-weighted, i.e., it requires only three rounds and four modular exponentiations per user. In fact, this amount of computation and the number of rounds are comparable to the most efficient password-based authentication key exchange protocol in the random-oracle model. The dispensation of random oracles in the protocol does not require the security of any expensive signature schemes or zero-knowlegde proofs.

  • Gartner is requiring companies to considerably change their survival paradigms insisting that companies need to understand and provide again the upcoming era of data competition. With the revealing of successful business cases through statistic algorithm-based predictive analytics, also, the conversion into preemptive countermeasure through predictive analysis from follow-up action through data analysis in the past is becoming a necessity of leading enterprises. This trend is influencing security analysis and log analysis and in reality, the cases regarding the application of the big data analysis framework to large-scale log analysis and intelligent and long-term security analysis are being reported file by file. But all the functions and techniques required for a big data log analysis system cannot be accommodated in a Hadoop-based big data platform, so independent platform-based big data log analysis products are still being provided to the market. This paper aims to suggest a framework, which is equipped with a real-time and non-real-time predictive analysis engine for these independent big data log analysis systems and can cope with cyber attack preemptively.

  • In this course of Internet proliferation, many network-related technologies are examined for possible growth and evolution. The use of Internet-based technologies is private networks has further fuelled the demand for network-based applications. The most promising among the new paradigms is the use of mobile agents. The mobile agent is capable of migrating autonomously form node to node in the network, to perform some computations on behalf of the user. The mobile agent paradigm is attractive alternative to traditional client-server programming for a significant class of network-centric applications. It does however, suffer. from a major drawback namely, the potential for malicious attacks, abuse of resources, pilfering of information, and other security issues. These issues are significantly hampering the acceptance of the mobile-agent paradigm. This paper describes the design of a secure mobile agent gateway 7hat can split and merge the agent code with security policy database on the VPN. This mechanism will promote security in the mobile agent systems.
