Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less network that can configure itself without any centralized management. The topology of MANET changes dynamically which makes it open for new nodes to join it easily. The openness area of MANET makes it very vulnerable to different types of attacks. One of the most dangerous attacks is the Resource Consumption Attack (RCA). In this type of attack, the attacker consumes the normal node energy by flooding it with bogus packets. Routing in MANET is susceptible to RCA and this is a crucial issue that deserves to be studied and solved. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to study the impact of RCA on two routing protocols namely, Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR); as a try to find the most resistant routing protocol to such attack. The contribution of this paper is a new RCA model (RCAM) which applies RCA on the two chosen routing protocols using the NS-2 simulator.

네트워크에서 발생하는 다양한 침입 중에서 서비스거부공격(DoS Attack. Denial-of-Service Attack)이란 공격자가 침입대상 시스템의 시스템 자원과 네트워크 자원을 악의적인 목적으로 소모시키기 위하여 대량의 패킷을 보냄으로써 정상 사용자로 하여금 시스템이 제공하는 서비스를 이용하지 못하도록 하는 공격을 의미한다. 기존 연구에서는 시스템과 네트워크가 수신한 패킷을 분석한 후 네트워크 세션정보를 생성하여 DoS 공격을 탐지하였다. 그러나 이 기법은 공격자가 분산서비스거부공격(DDoS Attack: Distributed DoS Attack)을 하게 되면 분산된 세션정보가 생성되기 때문에 침입을 실시간으로 탐지하기에는 부적절하다. 본 논문에서는 시스템이 가지고 있는 자윈 중에서 DDoS 공격을 밭을 때 가장 민감하게 반응하는 시스템 자원을 모니터링 함으로써 DDoS 공격을 실시간으로 탐지할 수 있는 모델을 제안한다 제안 모델은 시스템이 네트워크에서 수신한 패킷을 처리하는 과정에서 소모되는 커널 메모리 소비량을 감사자료로 이용한 네트워치기반 비정상행위탐지(networked-based anomaly detection)모델이다.

SDN(Software Defined Networking) has been considered as a new future computer network architecture and DDoS(Distributed Denial of Service) is the biggest threat in the network security. In SDN architecture, we present the technique to defend the DDoS SYN Flooding attack that is one of the DDoS attack method. First, we monitor the Backlog queue in order to reduce the unnecessary monitoring resources. If the Backlog queue of the certain server is occupied over 70%, the sFlow performs packet sampling with the server address as the destination address. To distinguish between the attacker and the normal user, we use the source address. We decide the SYN packet threshold using the remaining Backlog queue that possible to allow the number of connections. If certain sources address send the SYN packet over the threshold, we judge that this address is attacker. The controller will modify the flow table entry to block attack traffics. By using this method, we reduce the resource consumption about the unnecessary monitoring and the protection range is expanded to all switches. The result achieved from our experiment show that we can prevent the SYN Flooding attack before the Backlog queue is fully occupied.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can easily compromised from attackers because it has the limited resource and deployed in exposed environments. When the sensitive packets are occurred such as enemy's movement or fire alarm, attackers can selectively drop them using a compromised node. It brings the isolation between the basestation and the sensor fields. To detect selective forwarding attack, Xiao, Yu and Gao proposed checkpoint-based multi-hop acknowledgement scheme (CHEMAS). The check-point nodes are used to detect the area which generating selective forwarding attacks. However, CHEMAS has static probability of selecting check-point nodes. It cannot achieve the flexibility to coordinate between the detection ability and the energy consumption. In this paper, we propose the control method for the number fo check-point nodes. Through the control method, we can achieve the flexibility which can provide the sufficient detection ability while conserving the energy consumption.

Attacks in wireless sensor networks (WSN), are similar to the attacks in ad-hoc networks because there are deployed on a wireless environment. However existing security mechanism cannot apply to WSN, because it has limited resource and hostile environment. One of the typical attack in WSN is setting up wrong route that using wormhole. To overcome this threat, Ji-Hoon Yun et al. proposed WODEM (WOrmhole attack DEfense Mechanism) which can detect and counter with wormhole. In this scheme, it can detect and counter with wormhole attacks by comparing hop count and initial TTL (Time To Live) which is pre-defined. The selection of a initial TTL is important since it can provide a tradeoff between detection ability ratio and energy consumption. In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy rule-based system for TTL determination that can conserve energy, while it provides sufficient detection ratio in wormhole attack.

As listed as one of the most important requirements for Post-Quantum Cryptography standardization process by National Institute of Standards and Technology, the resistance to various side-channel attacks is considered very critical in deploying cryptosystems in practice. In fact, cryptosystems can easily be broken by side-channel attacks, even though they are considered to be secure in the mathematical point of view. The timing attack(TA) and the simple power analysis attack(SPA) are such side-channel attack methods which can reveal sensitive information by analyzing the timing behavior or the power consumption pattern of cryptographic operations. Thus, appropriate measures against such attacks must carefully be considered in the early stage of cryptosystem's implementation process. The Montgomery multiplier is a commonly used and classical gadget in implementing big-number-based cryptosystems including RSA and ECC. And, as recently proposed as an alternative of building blocks for implementing post quantum cryptography such as lattice-based cryptography, the big-number multiplier including the Montgomery multiplier still plays a role in modern cryptography. However, in spite of its effectiveness and wide-adoption, the multiplier is known to be vulnerable to TA and SPA. And this paper proposes a new countermeasure for the Montgomery multiplier against TA and SPA. Briefly speaking, the new measure first represents a multiplication operand without 0 digits, so the resulting multiplication operation behaves in a very regular manner. Also, the new algorithm removes the extra final reduction (which is intrinsic to the modular multiplication) to make the resulting multiplier more timing-independent. Consequently, the resulting multiplier operates in constant time so that it totally removes any TA and SPA vulnerabilities. Since the proposed method can process multi bits at a time, implementers can also trade-off the performance with the resource usage to get desirable implementation characteristics.

Ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes without using any infrastructure, it , is using in the various fields. Because ad hoc network is vulnerable to attacks such as routing disruption and resource consumption, it is in need of routing protocol security. In this paper, we propose two secure route-discovery protocols. One is a protocol using hash function. This protocol is weak in active attack but has some merits such as small data of transmission packet and small computation at each hop. The other is a protocol using hash function and public key cryptography. This protocol is strong in active attack.

Recently, network based DDoS attacks have been changed into application layer DDoS attacks which are targeted at the web services. Specially, an attacker makes zombie PCs generate small traffic and its traffic pattern has been similar to the normal user's pattern. So, existing HTTP PPS based Threshold cannot defend the DDoS attacks effectively. In this paper, we displayed all the GET Flooding attack types and propose three DDoS attack defense mechanisms which are simple and very powerful. Proposed mechanisms can defend all the existing GET Flooding DDoS attacks and be deployed in the real environment immediately with little resource consumption.

Cognitive radio (CR) technology is an effective solution to the spectrum scarcity issue. Collaborative spectrum sensing is known as a promising technique to improve the performance of spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). However, collaborative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to spectrum data falsification (SSDF) attack, where malicious users (MUs) may send false sensing data to mislead other secondary users (SUs) to make an incorrect decision about primary user (PUs) activity, which is one of the key adversaries to the performance of CRNs. In this paper, we propose a coalition based malicious users detection (CMD) algorithm to detect the malicious user in CRNs. The proposed CMD algorithm can efficiently detect MUs base on the Geary'C theory and be modeled as a coalition formation game. Specifically, SSDF attack is one of the key issues to affect the resource allocation process. Focusing on the security issues, in this paper, we analyze the power allocation problem with MUs, and propose MUs detection based power allocation (MPA) algorithm. The MPA algorithm is divided into two steps: the MUs detection step and the optimal power allocation step. Firstly, in the MUs detection step, by the CMD algorithm we can obtain the MUs detection probability and the energy consumption of MUs detection. Secondly, in the optimal power allocation step, we use the Lagrange dual decomposition method to obtain the optimal transmission power of each SU and achieve the maximum utility of the whole CRN. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed CMD and MPA scheme can achieve a considerable performance improvement in MUs detection and power allocation.

네트워크 대역폭 소모 위주로 발생했던 DDoS 공격이 최근에는 웹서비스 대상 시스템 부하 유발을 통해 가용성을 떨어뜨리는 응용계층에서의 DDoS 공격 위주로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 DDoS 공격에 대응하기 위해 History, IP 분산도, GRT, Behavior 기반 등 다양한 대응 메커니즘이 연구되고 있지만 연구초기 단계에 머물러 있다. 본 논문에서는 Admission Control 기반 DDoS 공격대응 메커니즘을 제안하고, 시스템 개발을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 제안된 메커니즘은 지금까지 발생한 모든 응용계층 DDoS 공격유형에 대응 가능하며, 기존 Behavior 기반 대응기법은 오탐지 가능성이 있으나 제안하는 메커니즘은 오탐지가 발생하지 않는 장점이 있어, 상용 환경에 바로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
