Since 2014, ease of regulations on financial institutions expanded the mobile payment market based on simple authentication, and this resulted in the emergence of various simple payment services. Although several security solutions have been used to mitigate possible security threats to payment applications, there are vulnerabilities which can still be found due to the structure in which the security solution is applied to the payment service. In this paper, we analyze the payment application and security solution from the process perspective, and prove through experimentation that verification functions of security solutions can be bypassed without detailed analysis of each security function, but by simply manipulating the verification result value. Finally, we propose methods to mitigate the bypass method presented in this paper from three different perspectives, and thereby contribute to the improvement of security level of the payment service.

Whitelist-based ransomware solution is known as being vulnerable to false impersonation attack using DLL injection attack. To solve this problem, it is proposed to monitor DLL injection attack and to integrate the monitoring result to ransomware solutions. In this paper, we show that attackers can easily bypass the monitoring mechanism and then illegally access files of a target system. It means that whitelist-based ransomware solutions are still vulnerable.

Cheating detection models in the online games can be divided into two parts. The one is on client based model, which is designed to detect malicious programs not to be run while playing the games. The other one is server based model, which distinguishes the difference between benign users and cheaters by the server log analysis. The client based model provides various features to prevent games from cheating, For instance, Anti-reversing, memory manipulation and so on. However, being deployed and operated on the client side is a huge weak point as cheaters can analyze and bypass the detection features. That Is why the server based model is an emerging way to detect cheating users in online games. But the simple log data such as FPS's one can be hard to find validate difference between two of them. In this paper, In order to compensate for the disadvantages of the two detection model above, We use the existing game security solution log as well as the server one to bring high performance as well as detection ratio compared to the existing detection models in the market.

Recently leakages of confidential information and internal date have been steadily increasing by using booting technique on portable OS such as Windows PE stored in portable storage devices (USB or CD/DVD etc). This method allows to bypass security software such as USB security or media control solution installed in the target PC, to extract data or insert malicious code by mounting the PC's storage devices after booting up the portable OS. Also this booting method doesn't record a log file such as traces of removable storage devices. Thus it is difficult to identify whether the data are leaked and use trace-back technique. In this paper is to propose method to help facilitate the process of digital forensic investigation or audit of a company by collecting and analyzing BIOS firmware images that record data relating to BIOS settings in flash memory and finding traces of portable storage devices that can be regarded as abnormal events.
