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.

As the expansion of digital transformation, we are more exposed to the threat of cyber attacks, and many institution or company is operating a signature-based intrusion prevention system at the forefront of the network to prevent the inflow of attacks. However, in order to provide appropriate services to the related ICT system, strict blocking rules cannot be applied, causing many false events and lowering operational efficiency. Therefore, many research projects using artificial intelligence are being performed to improve attack detection accuracy. Most researches were performed using a specific research data set which cannot be seen in real network, so it was impossible to use in the actual system. In this paper, we propose a technique for classifying major attack keywords in the security event log collected from the actual system, assigning a weight to each key keyword, and then performing a similarity check using TF-IDF to determine whether an actual attack has occurred.

In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of the IP spoofing attack exploiting null security algorithms in 5G networks based on 3GPP standard specifications. According to 3GPP standard specifications, the initial Registration Request message is not protected by encryption and integrity. The IP spoofing attack exploits the vulnerability that allows a malicious gNB (next generation Node B) to modify the contents of the initial Registration Request message of a victim UE (User Equipment) before forwarding it to AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function). If the attack succeeds, the victim UE is disconnected from the 5G network and a malicious UE gets Internet services, while the 5G operator will charge the victim UE. In this paper, we analyze the feasibility of the IP spoofing attack by analyzing whether each signaling message composing the attack conforms to the 3GPP Rel-17 standard specifications. As a result of the analysis, it is determined that the IP spoofing attack is not feasible in the 5G system implemented according to the 3GPP Rel-17 standard specifications.

DDoS attacks is upgrade of DoS attacks. Botnet is being used by DDoS attack, so it is able to attack a millions of PCs at one time. DDoS attacks find the root the cause of the attack because it is hard to find sources for it, even after the treatment wavelength serious social problem in this study, the analysis and countermeasures for DDoS attack is presented.

Authentication and key establishment are fundamental procedures to establish secure communications over public insecure network. A password-based scheme is common method to provide authentication. In 2008, Khan proposed an efficient password-based authentication scheme using smart cards to solve the problems inherent in Wu-Chieu's authentication scheme. As for security, Khan claimed that his scheme is secure and provides mutual authentication between legal users and a remote server. In this paper, we demonstrate Khan's scheme to be vulnerable to various attacks, i. e., password guessing attack, insider attack, reflection attack and forgery attack. Our study shows that Khan's scheme does not provide mutual authentication and is insecure for practical applications. This paper proposes an improved scheme to overcome these problems and to preserve user anonymity that is an issue in e-commerce applications.

Distributed Denial-of-Service(DDoS) attack prevent users from accessing services on the target network by spoofing its origin source address with a large volume of traffic. The objective of IP Traceback is to determine the real attack sources, as well as the full path taken by the attack packets. Existing IP Traceback methods can be categorized as proactive or reactive tracing. Proactive tracing(such as packet marking and messaging) prepares information for tracing when packets are in transit. Reactive tracing starts tracing after an attack is detected. In this paper, we propose a "advanced ICMP Traceback" mechanism. which is based on the modified push back system. Proposed mechanism can detect and control DDoS traffic on router and can generate ICMP Traceback message for reconstructing origin attack source.ck source.

Grayhole attack, one of attack to MANET routing function, is very severe in point of view of causing results which disturbs normal transmission function of network with uneasy finding of attacks. In this paper, effects of grayhole attack to application service on MANET is analyzed. Based on this analysis, some conditions is suggested for anti-intrusion to operate an application service on MANET under grayhole attack. This study is done with computer simulation based on NS-2 be added grayhole attack function which is implemented in this paper.

This paper proposes S-CAFG(Stage-based Cyber Attack Flow Graph), a model for effectively describing training scenarios that simulate modern complex cyber attacks. On top of existing graph and tree models, we add a stage node to model more complex scenarios. In order to evaluate the proposed model, we create a complicated scenario and compare how the previous models and S-CAFG express the scenario. As a result, we confirm that S-CAFG can effectively describe various attack scenarios such as simultaneous attacks, additional attacks, and bypass path selection.

Cognitive radio (CR) is a feasible intelligent technology and can be used as an effective solution to spectrum scarcity and underutilization. As the key function of CR, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is able to effectively prevent the harmful interference with primary users (PUs) and identify the available spectrum resources by exploiting the spatial diversity of multiple secondary users (SUs). However, the open nature of the cognitive radio networks (CRNs) framework makes CSS face many security threats, such as, the malicious user (MU) launches Byzantine attack to undermine CRNs. For this aim, we make an in-depth analysis of the motive and purpose from the MU's perspective in the interweave CR system, aiming to provide the future guideline for defense strategies. First, we formulate a dynamic Byzantine attack model by analyzing Byzantine behaviors in the process of CSS. On the basis of this, we further make an investigation on the condition of making the fusion center (FC) blind when the fusion rule is unknown for the MU. Moreover, the throughput and interference to the primary network are taken into consideration to evaluate the impact of Byzantine attack on the interweave CR system, and then analyze the optimal strategy of Byzantine attack when the fusion rule is known. Finally, theoretical proofs and simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of analyses about the impact of Byzantine attack strategy on the throughput and interference.

Adversarial attacks have received great attentions for their capacity to distract state-of-the-art neural networks by modifying objects in physical domain. Patch-based attack especially have got much attention for its optimization effectiveness and feasible adaptation to any objects to attack neural network-based object detectors. However, despite their strong attack performance, generated patches are strongly perceptible for humans, violating the fundamental assumption of adversarial examples. In this paper, we propose a camouflaged adversarial patch optimization method using military camouflage assessment metrics for naturalistic patch attacks. We also investigate camouflaged attack loss functions, applications of various camouflaged patches on army tank images, and validate the proposed approach with extensive experiments attacking Yolov5 detection model. Our methods produce more natural and realistic looking camouflaged patches while achieving competitive performance.
