Web-mail system is worthy of note as a next generation e-mail system for its mobility and easiness. But many web-mail system does not have any kind of security mechanism. Even if web-mail system provides security services, its degree of strength is too low. Using these web-mail systems, the e-mail is tabbed, modified or forged by attacker easily. To solve these problems, we design and implement secure web-mail system based on the international e-mail security standard S/MIME in this thesis. This secure web-mail system is composed of server system and client system The server system performs basic mail functions - sending/receiving the mails, storing the mails, and management of user information, etc. And the client system performs cryptographic functions - encryption/decryption of the mails, digital signing and validation, etc. Because client system performs cryptographic functions this secure web-mail system gives its reliability and safety, and provides end-to-end security between mail users. Also, this secure web-mail system increase system efficiency by minimize server load.

this paper, we introduce a secure communication method using complex system. We make a complex system with the n-double scroll or Chua's oscillator. The Complex system is created by applying identical n0double scroll or non-identical n-double scroll and Chua's oscillator with weak soupled method to each cell. In order to secure communication, we have synthesizing the desired information with a complex system circuit by adding the information signal to the hyper-chaos signal. And then, transmitting the synthesized signal to the ideal channel, we confirm secure communication by separating the information signal and the complex system signal in the receiver.

Secure operating system is a special operating system that integrates some security functions(i.e. access control, user authentication, audit-trail and etc.) with normal operating system in order to protect system from various attacks. But it doesn't consider my security of network traffic. To guarantee the security of the whole system, network traffic must be protected by a certain way and IPsec is a representative technology for network security. However, it requires administrator's carefulness in managing security policies and the key management mechanism is very heavy as well as complicated. Moreover, it doesn't have a suitable framework for delivery of security information for access control mechanism. So we propose a simple trusted channel mechanism for secure communication between secure operating systems. It provides confidentiality md authentication for network traffic and ability to deliver security information. It is implemented at the kernellevel of IP layer and the simplicity of the mechanism can minimize the overhead of trusted channel processing.

This paper presents the hardware development of a secure modem system for personal computers. This system consists of a data encryption system and an existing modem. The algorithm of LUCIFER-type with block size of 64-bit is used for data encryption and Diffie-Hellman method is also employed for generation of the encryption key. We implement the system in hardware using the DSP56001.

Kernel rootkit is recognized as one of the most severe and widespread threats to corrupt the integrity of an operating system. Without an external monitor as a root of trust, it is not easy to detect kernel rootkits which can intercept and modify communications at the interfaces between operating system components. To provide such a monitor isolated from an operating system that can be compromised, most existing solutions are based on external hardware. Unlike those solutions, we develop a kernel introspection system based on the ARM TrustZone technology without incurring extra hardware cost, which can provide a secure memory space in isolation from the rest of the system. We particularly use a secure timer to implement an autonomous switch between secure and non-secure modes. To ensure integrity of reference, this system measured reference from vmlinux which is a kernel original image. In addition, the flexibility of monitoring block size can be configured for efficient kernel introspection system. The experimental results show that a secure kernel introspection system is provided without incurring any significant performance penalty (maximum 6% decrease in execution time compared with the normal operating system).

본 연구에서는 안전한 네이밍 서비스를 제공하는 기존 Secure DNS를 확장시켜 GUI방식의 관리자 인터페이스를 설계하였다. 따라서 시스템 설정에 대한 configuration과 보안관련 도구의 핵심이라 할 수 있는 로그의 관리가 용이해 졌다. 또한 관리자 인터페이스에 의해 각각의 자원 레코드에 대한 자동적인 삽입, 삭제가 가능하며, 암호화 알고리즘의 추가를 interactive하게 처리한다. 그밖에 기존 Secure DNS에서는 새로운 암호와 알고리즘을 추가할 때마다 재 컴파일 해야하는 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 'Dynamic link interface'를 설계하였다. 이는 암호화 알고리즘의 입출력 표준을 정하고 이를 단일한 시스템 API로 구성하여 Secure DNS가 초기화 될 때 동적 라이브러리를 사용하여 각각의 암호화 알고리즘을 메모리에 적재하는 방식을 택한다. 그 밖에 Secure DNS를 이용하여 제공할 수 있는 응용방안으로 개인의 공개키 분배서비스와 X.509 체계를 이용한 인증서를 제공하는 서비스를 제안한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인터넷의 기본 인프라스트럭쳐인 DNS를 최대한 활용할 수 있는 여러 가지 방안과 그 해결책을 제시한다.

Security is a primary concern in group communication, and secure authentication is essential to establishing a secure group communication. Most conventional authentications consist of knowledge-based and token-based methods. One of the token-based methods is a X.509 certificate, which is used under a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI); it is the most well-known authentication system in a distributed network environment. However, it has a well-known weakness, which only proves the belonging of a certificate. PKI cannot assure identity of a person. The conventional knowledge-based and token-based methods do not really provide positive personal identification because they rely on surrogate representations of the person's identity. Therefore, I propose a secure X.509 certificate with biometric information to assure the identity of the person who uses the X.509 certificate in a distributed computing environment.

In this paper, we propose a secure smart home network model and a novel cryptographic protocol called the Smart Home Security Protocol (SHSP). Authentication, key distribution, and encryption functions are properly supported in order to make a smart home secure, and a residential gateway (RG) plays a central role in performing these functions. According to the characteristics of networks and attached devices, we classify smart homes into three different types of sub-networks and these networks are interconnected with one another by the RG. Depending on a sub-network, we use different types of secure schemes to reduce the burden of the process and the delay in devices while it provides proper security functions. The proposed secure smart home model is implemented and verified by using a variety of embedded system environments.

In recent, the advancement of wearable devices and wireless body area networking technologies motivate researchers to pay attention to remote healthcare system for monitoring patients health and disease progression effectively. However, in order to implement a practical remote healthcare system, we must consider the security and privacy of patient's personal health information transmitted to healthcare servers through the network. Hence, in this paper, we propose a secure health data transmission protocol in remote healthcare monitoring system to protect patient's health information and prevent privacy from eavesdropping on the network. To achieve our security goals, we design an efficient secure protocol based on the identity-based cryptography with key evolution technique, and then confirm the superiority and the efficiency of the proposed protocol as compared with the existing protocol of Yang et al.

Recently, with the development of the ICT environment, the use of the software is growing rapidly. And the number of the web server software used with a variety of users is also growing. However, There are also various damage cases increased due to a software security vulnerability as software usage is increasing. Especially web shell hacking which abuses software vulnerabilities accounts for a very high percentage. These web server environment damage can induce primary damage such like homepage modification for malware spreading and secondary damage such like privacy. Source code weaknesses checking system is needed during software development stage and operation stage in real-time to prevent software vulnerabilities. Also the system which can detect and determine web shell from checked code in real time is needed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the system improving security for web server by detecting web shell attacks which are invisible to existing detection method such as Firewall, IDS/IPS, Web Firewall, Anti-Virus, etc. while satisfying existing secure coding guidelines from development stage to operation stage.
