In modern society, smart home has become a part of people's daily life. But traditional smart home systems often have problems such as security, data centralization and easy tampering, so a blockchain is an emerging technology that solves the problems. This paper proposes a blockchain-based smart home system which consists in a home and a blockchain network part. The blockchain network with 8 nodes is implemented by HyperLeger Fabric platform on Docker. ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography) technology is used for data transmission security and RBAC(role-based access control) manages the certificates of network members. Raft consensus algorithm maintains data consistency across all nodes in a distributed system and reduces block generation time. The query and data submission are controlled by the smart contract which allows nodes to safely and efficiently access smart home data. The experimental results show that the proposed system maintains a stable average query and submit time of 84.5 [ms] and 93.67 [ms] under high concurrent accesses, respectively and the transmission data is secured through simulated packet capture attacks.

Research on autonomous vehicles is being actively conducted, and the effort to commercialize them is underway in several countries. In Korea, platform construction projects are being carried out under the supervision of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport to achieve autonomous cooperative driving. To enable a flawless infrastructure, there is a requirement to build a safe security agency responsible for the secure operations of the entire process. However, there is no traffic ISAC in Korea that performs these roles. This paper analyzes related bills and acts of the other domestic security institutions currently in operation. Based on these results, we suggest appropriate directions to modify the current laws related to the C-ITS system. Finally, we propose a suitable plan to establish and operate a C-ITS ISAC.

Roblox, the world's No. 1 metaverse platform, has more than 3 billion subscription accounts and more than 150 millionmonthly active users (MAU). Despite such high interest in metaverse, existing studies on analyzing the risk of cyberattacks and security in the metaverse environment is insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new steganography-basedcovert communication method in Roblox. In our proposed method, a secret message is hidden into an image by using a function provided in the Roblox Experience environment and then the image is automatically stored in the RobloxExperience participants' devices (PC or Smartphone) so that a malicious software can extract the hidden message fromthe image. By our experiments in the Roblox metaverse environment, we validated our proposed method works and thus want to inform our proposed method can be used in various cyberattacks and crimes such as the spread of secret commands, the establishment of a steganography botnet, and the mass distribution of malicious malware in metaverse platforms.

The growth of the metaverse has been accelerated by the increased demand for non-face-to-face interactions due to COVID-19 and advancements in technologies such as blockchain and NFTs. However, with the emergence of various metaverse platforms and the corresponding rise in users, criminal cases such as ransomware attacks, copyright infringements, and sexual offenses have occurred within the metaverse. Consequently, the need for artifacts that can be utilized as digital evidence within metaverse systems has increased. However, there is a lack of information about artifacts that can be used as digital evidence. Furthermore, metaverse security evaluation and forensic analysis are also insufficient, and the absence of attack scenarios and related guidelines makes forensics challenging. To address these issues, this paper presents artifacts that can be used for user behavior analysis and timeline analysis through dynamic analysis of Roblox, a representative metaverse gaming solution. Based on analyzing interrelationship between identified artifacts through memory forensics and log file analysis, this paper suggests the potential usability of artifacts in metaverse crime scenarios. Moreover, it proposes improvements by analyzing the current legal and regulatory aspects to address institutional deficiencies.

Sentiment analysis using social network platforms such as Twitter has achieved tremendous results. Twitter is an online social networking site that contains a rich amount of data. The platform is known as an information channel corresponding to different sites and categories. Tweets are most often publicly accessible with very few limitations and security options available. Twitter also has powerful tools to enhance the utility of Twitter and a powerful search system to make publicly accessible the recently posted tweets by keyword. As popular social media, Twitter has the potential for interconnectivity of information, reviews, updates, and all of which is important to engage the targeted population. In this work, numerous methods that perform a classification of tweet sentiment in Twitter is discussed. There has been a lot of work in the field of sentiment analysis of Twitter data. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the most standard and widely applicable techniques for opinion mining that are based on machine learning and lexicon-based along with their metrics. The proposed work is helpful to analyze the information in the tweets where opinions are highly unstructured, heterogeneous, and polarized positive, negative or neutral. In order to validate the performance of the proposed framework, an extensive series of experiments has been performed on the real world twitter dataset that alter to show the effectiveness of the proposed framework. This research effort also highlighted the recent challenges in the field of sentiment analysis along with the future scope of the proposed work.
