In this paper, low-rate TCP attack as one of shrew attacks is considered and the scaling based dynamic time warping (S-DTW) algorithm is introduced. The low-rate TCP attack can not be detected by the detection method for the previous flooding DoS/DDoS (Denial of Service/Distirbuted Denial of Service) attacks due to its low average traffic rate. It, however, is a periodic short burst that exploits the homogeneity of the minimum retransmission timeout (RTO) of TCP flows and then some pattern matching mechanisms have been proposed to detect it among legitimate input flows. A DTW mechanism as one of detection approaches has proposed to detect attack input stream consisting of many legitimate or attack flows, and shown a depending method as well. This approach, however, has a problem that legitimate input stream may be caught as an attack one. In addition, it is difficult to decide a threshold for separation between the legitimate and the malicious. Thus, the causes of this problem are analyzed through simulation and the scaling by maximum auto-correlation value is executed before computing the DTW. We also discuss the results on applying various scaling approaches and using standard deviation of input streams monitored.

As the industry related to drones has been activated, the public interest in drones has increased explosively, and many cases of drone-using are increasing. In the case of military drones, the security problem is the level of defense of the aircraft or cruise missiles, but commercial small and low cost drones are often released and utilized without security count-measure. This makes it possible for an attacker to easily gain access to the root of the drones, access internal files, or send fake packets. However, this droning problem can lead to another dangerous attack. In this regard, this paper has identified the vulnerabilities inherent in the commercial drones by analyzing the attack cases in the communication process of the specific drones. In this paper, we analyze and test the vulnerability in terms of scanning attack, meson attack, authentication revocation attack, packet stop command attack, packet retransmission attack, signal manipulation and de-compile attack. This study is useful for the analysis of drones attack and vulnerability.

In this paper, we propose a personalized user authentication system (PUAS) that can be used in multiple stages in user authentication by customizing the password keyword to be used in user authentication. The proposal concept is that the user oneself defines the password keyword to be used in user authentication so as to cope with a passive retransmission attack which reuses the password obtained when the server system is accessed in user authentication. The authentication phase is also designed so that it can be expanded in multiple stages in a single step. Also, it is designed to store user-defined password related information in an arbitrary encrypted place in the system, thereby designing to disable the illegal access of the network. Therefore, even if an intruder accesses the system using the proposed system, it is possible to generate personal authentication information by generating a password keyword through unique personal information possessed only by an individual and not know the place where the generated authentication information is stored, It has a strong security characteristic.

As the IoT environment becomes more popular, the safety of the M2M environment, which establishes the communication environment between objects and objects without human intervention, becomes important. Due to the nature of the wireless communication environment, there is a possibility of exposure to security threats in various aspects such as data exposure, falsification, tampering, deletion and privacy, and secure communication security technology is considered as an important requirement. In this paper, we propose a new method for group key generation and exchange using trap hash collision hash in existing 'M2M communication environment' using hash collision, And a mechanism for confirming the authentication of the device and the gateway after the group key is generated. The proposed method has attack resistance such as spoofing attack, meson attack, and retransmission attack in the group communication section by using the specificity of the collision message and collision hash, and is a technique for proving safety against vulnerability of hash collision.

As wireless communication technology advances to ensure high accuracy and safety at high speeds, research and development of Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology has been accelerated as an alternative to traditional radio frequency (RF) technology. As the radio spectrum of RF communication becomes more congested and demand for bandwidth continues to increase, VLCs that can use unlicensed frequency band are proposed as a solution. However, VLC channels have broadcasting characteristics that make them easily exposed to eavesdropping and jamming attacks, and are vulnerable to MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) due to their line of sight (LOS) propagation characteristics. These attacks on VLC channels compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communications links and data, resulting in higher data retransmission rates, reducing throughput and increasing power consumption, resulting in lower data transmission efficiency. In this work, we model vulnerable VLC channels to analyze the impact of attacks and communications vulnerabilities by malicious jammers.

While Snoop improves network performance by using local retransmission in case of packet loss in wireless network, it has security vulnerability to be unable to countermeasure against falsified ACKs attacks. Therefore in this paper, we suggest a modified Snoop with an extra buffer in addition to original Snoop buffer. Even though packets are exhausted in original buffer by falsified ACKs attacks, proposed Snoop can locally retransmit the packets saved in the extra buffer. The simulation by NS-2 shows that proposed Snoop countermeasure efficiently against falsified ACKs attack and builds securer Snoop protocol.

Stateful inspection devices must maintain flow information. These devices create the flow information also for network attack packets, and it can fatally inflate the dynamic memory allocation on stateful inspection devices under network attacks. The memory inflation leads to memory overflow and subsequent performance degradation. In this paper, we present a guideline to set the flow entry timeout for a stateful inspection device to remove harmful embryonic entries created by network attacks. Considering Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) if utilized by most of these attacks as well as legitimate traffic, we propose a parsimonious memory management guideline based on the design of the TCP and the analysis of real-life Internet traces. In particular, we demonstrate that for all practical purposes one should not reserve memory for an embryonic TCP connection with more than (R+T) seconds of inactivity where R=0, 3, 9 and $1\leqq{T}\leqq{2}$ depending on the load level.
