Most of the web-based services are provided by a web browser. A web browser receives a text-based web page from the server and translates the received data for the user to view. There are a myriad of add-ons to web browsers that extend browser features. The browser's add-ons may access web pages and make changes to the data. This makes web-services via web browsers are vulnerable to security threats. A web browser stores web page data in memory in the DOM structure. One method that prevents modifications to web page data applies hash values to certain parts in the DOM structure. However, a certain characteristic of web-pages renders this method ineffective at times. Specifically, the user-input data is not pre-determined, and the hash value cannot be calculated prior to user input. Thus the modification to the data cannot be prevented. This paper proposes a method that both detects and inhibits any attempt to change to user-input data. The proposed method stores user-input from the keyboard and makes a comparison with the data transmitted from the web browser to detect any anomalies.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior of North Korea's cyber attack against South Korea since 2009 based on major international security theories and suggest South Korea's policy option. For this purpose, this paper applied the behavioral domain and characteristics of 'cyber power' and 'coercion dynamics' model, which are attracting attention in international security studies. The types of cyber attacks from North Korea are classified into the following categories: power-based incarceration, leadership attacks and intrusions, military operations interference, and social anxiety and confusion. In terms of types and means of cyber power, North Korean GPS disturbance, the Ministry of Defense server hacking and EMP are hard power with high retaliation and threat and cyber money cashing and ransomware are analyzed by force in the act of persuasion and incentive in the point of robbing or asking for a large amount of money with software pawns. North Korea 's cyber attack has the character of escape from realistic sanctions based on the second nuclear test. It is important for South Korea to clearly recognize that the aggressive cyberpower of North Korea is changing in its methods and capabilities, and to ensure that North Korea's actions result in far greater losses than can be achieved. To do this, it is necessary to strengthen the cyber security and competence to simultaneously attack and defend through institutional supplement and new establishment such as cyber psychological warfare, EMP attack preparation, and enhancement of security expertise against hacking.

In this paper, we introduce the implementation of the security system using iris recognition. This system acquires images with infrared camera and extracts the 2D code from a infrared image which uses scale-space filtering and concavity. We examine the system by (i) extract 2D code and (ii) compare the code that stored on the server (iii) mearsure FAR and FRR using pattern matching. Experiment results show that the proposed method is very suitable.

Node which plays the role of cache server does not exist in the wireless ad-hoc network consisting of only mobile nodes. Even if it exists, it is difficult to provide cache services due to the movement of nodes. Therefore, the cooperative cache technique is necessary in order to improve the efficiency of information access by reducing data access time and use of bandwidth in the wireless ad-hoc network. In this paper, the whole network is divided into zones which don't overlap and master node of each zone is elected. General node of each zone has ZICT and manages cache data to cooperative cache and gateway node use NZCT to manage cache information of neighbor zone. We proposed security structure which can accomplish send and receive in the only node issued id key in the elected master node in order to prepare for cache consistent attack which is vulnerability of distributed caching techniques. The performance of the proposed method in this paper could confirm the excellent performance through comparative experiments of GCC and GC techniques.

In a keyword search scheme a user stores encrypted data on an untrusted server and gives a database manager a capability for a keyword which enables a database manager to find encrypted data containing the keyword without revealing the keyword to the database manager. Conjunctive keyword search scheme enables a user to obtain data containing all of several keywords through only one query. One of the security requirements of conjunctive keyword search schemes is that a malicious adversary should not be able to generate new valid capabilities from the observed capabilities. In U:5 paper we show that conjunctive keyword search schemes are not secure. In particular, given two capabilities corresponding two sets of keywords, an adversary is able to generate a new capability corresponding to the dierence set of two keywords sets.

인터넷을 통한 전자상거래가 실제화 되고 확산되고 있는 가운데 개인과 기업에서 요구사항은 더욱 다양화되고 보안의 구축이 필수 조건으로 요구되고 있다. 이러한 다양한 요구사항에 대한 효율적인 조작과 처리를 XML(extensible Walkup Language)을 통하여 해결하려는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. XML을 통한 전자상거래는 표준이 되어 가고 있으며 그 효율성은 전자상거래를 활성화시킴으로써 새로운 시장의 창출과 효율성 극대화하기 위한 활력소가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 B2Brl반 XML전자상거래 시스템을 구현하고 문서교환에 SSL과 XML표준에 기초한 전자서명(XML Digital Signature)시스템을 구축하므로써 인증과 보안을 고려한 XML/EDl 전자서명 시스템을 설계, 구현하였다.

A System can be more Dependable from some types of Threats if the Dependability Level Against the Threat on the System is Increased. However, The Dependability-performance Tradeoff should be Considered because the Increased Dependability may Degrade the Performance of the System. Therefore, it is Efficient to Temporally Increase the Dependability Level to High only when an Threat is Predicted on the System in a Short time while Maintaining the Level in Low or mid in Normal Situations. In this Paper, we Present a Threat Prevention Strategy for a Networked Node by Dynamically Changing the Dependability Level According to the Threat Situation on its Logically/physically Neighboring Nodes. As case Studies, we Employ our Strategy to an Internet Server Against TCP SYN Flood Attacks and to a Checkpoint and Rollback System Against Transient Faults. Our Performance Analysis Shows that our Strategy can Effectively Relieve the Damage of the Failure without Serious Performance Degradation.

지리적으로 분산되어 있는 이기종의 분산 컴퓨팅 자원과 대규모 데이터를 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서 최근에 GRID 컴퓨팅 환경에 대한 연구가 매우 활성화되고 있다. 이러한 GRID 환경을 구현하기 위해 필요한 부분중의 하나가 사용자와 자원간의 인증에 관련된 문제이다. 현재 Globus Toolkit은 PKI(Public Key Infrastructure)를 기본으로 하는 보안정책을 사용하고 있다. 이 정책은 인증과정에 적지않은 오버헤드가 발생되는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 사용자와 자원간의 직접적인 인증으로 인해 발생하는 성능상의 비효율성을 줄이기 위해 사용자가 자원에 접속 하기전 AIS서버(Authentification Information Server)를 이용하여 미리 인증을 거친후, 자원에 접근한 때는 기 발급된 식별자로 인증 될 수 있도록 처리해주는 메커니즘을 제안한다.

The intent of this paper is to present the flaws and weaknesses of Kim et al.'s timestamp-based password authentication scheme using smart cards. We prove that, in spite of the improvement of Yang-Wang-Chang's scheme, Kim et al.'s solution is still vulnerable to a type of forgery attack. We also note down how the flaw could be overcome to ensure better level of security in remote client-server communication procedure.
