  • In this paper, we propose an EC-SRP(Elliptic Curve - Secure Remote Password) protocol that uses ECDLP(Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem) instead SRP protocols’s DLP. Since EC-SRP uses ECDLP, it inherits the high performance and security those are the properties of elliptic curve. And we reduced the number of elliptic curve scalar multiplication to improve EC-SRP protocol’s performance. Also we have proved BC-SRP protocol is a secure AKC(Authenticated Key Agreement with Key Confirmation) protocol in a random oracle model.

  • Cloud computing is a distributed computing model that has lot of drawbacks and faces difficulties. Many new innovative and emerging techniques take advantage of its features. In this paper, we explore the security threats to and Risk Assessments for cloud computing, attack mitigation frameworks, and the risk-based dynamic access control for cloud computing. Common security threats to cloud computing have been explored and these threats are addressed through acceptable measures via governance and effective risk management using a tailored Security Risk Approach. Most existing Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) schemes for cloud services use a converse thinking approach to develop theoretical solutions for minimizing the risk of security breaches at a minimal cost. In our study, we propose an improved Attack-Defense Tree mechanism designated as iADTree, for solving the TRA problem in cloud computing environments.

  • To defend against information leakage or malware inflow by USB memory, security technologies such as copy protection and device control have being researched and developed. However, countermeasure are insufficient despite being recognized as a fatal security-hole for BadUSB presented at the Black Hat Security Conference 2014. To solve this problem, the countermeasures for BadUSB vulnerability are proposed.

  • In order to solve the problem that the current network security situation assessment methods just focus on the attack behaviors, this paper proposes a kind of network security situation assessment method based on Markov Decision Process and Game theory. The method takes the Markov Game model as the core, and uses the 4 levels data fusion to realize the evaluation of the network security situation. In this process, the Nash equilibrium point of the game is used to determine the impact on the network security. Experiments show that the results of this method are basically consistent with the expert evaluation data. As the method takes full account of the interaction between the attackers and defenders, it is closer to reality, and can accurately assess network security situation.

  • With the types and targets of cyber attacks expanding and with personal information leaks increasing, the quantitative demand for information security specialists has increased. The base for training the workforce has expanded accordingly, but joblessness and job-seeking still coexist. To resolve the gap between labor demand and supply, education and training systems that can supply demand quickly are needed. It takes a considerable amount of time for information security education and new manpower supply through universities and graduate schools to be reflected in the market. However, if information security retraining is carried out in terms of career development of information security and related workforce, the problem of lack of experts could be solved in a relatively short period. This paper investigates and analyzes the information security work of the information security workforce, the degree of skill level, the need for retraining, and the workplace migration experience; it also discusses the direction of career development retraining.

  • Along with the recent technological development, autonomous vehicles are being commercialized. but The accident of autonomous driving car is becoming an issue, and safety problem of autonomous driving car is becoming a hot topic. Also There are currently no specific guidelines for clear laws and security ethics. These guidelines require a lot of information and experience. This study establishes basic guidelines based on cases of accidents from past to present. This study suggests security considerations through case study of security ethics in autonomous car accident.

  • Zheng's signcryption scheme is a new encryptical scheme of which can save more expense than those of the current signature encryption by using digital signature and symmetric key encryption logically. The current signcryption schemes have a problem that is to be exposed the secret key of the receiver in the case of checking repudiation of origin by the third party. To solve this problem, a solution suggested in this paper is to use multi-purpose ID-based signcryption scheme with anonymity and unlinkability. This solution is safe and more efficient than current signcryption schemes because the suggested scheme keeps the security of the random oracle model as using Weil-pairing in encryption. and follows a formal proof of semantic security of the decisional Diffie-Hellman problem.

  • Though P2P network systems are widely used, not so much research has been done on security issues. One of the serious problem in P2P network is the authentication problem. To resolve this problem, we introduce a new concept, a "self-reputation system" in which a user manages her own reputation. We define self-reputation systems by presenting several requirements. We also give one instance of self-reputation system. The proposed instance satisfies the requirement including the prevention of erasing and the platform independence.ependence.

  • In this paper, due to the network security defense is mainly static defense, a dynamic classification network security defense strategy model is proposed by analyzing the security situation of complex computer network. According to the network security impact parameters, eight security elements and classification standard are obtained. At the same time, the dynamic classification algorithm based on fuzzy theory is also presented. The experimental analysis results show that the proposed model and algorithm are feasible and effective. The model is a good way to solve a safety problem that the static defense cannot cope with tactics and lack of dynamic change.

  • "I think security is only trying to make it uncomfortable." "10% of my work is entering IDs and passwords, such as boot passwords, mobile phone authentication numbers, etc." As reflected in the complaint above, stress caused by information security among organizations' members is increasing. In order to strengthen information security, practical solutions to reduce stress are needed because the motivation of the members is needed in order for organizations to function properly. Therefore, this study attempts to suggest key factors that can enhance security while reducing information security stress among members of organizations. To this end, based on the theory of protection motivation, trust and security stress from information security policies are set as mediating factors to explain changes in security reinforcement behavior. Furthermore, risk, efficacy, and reaction costs of cyberattacks are considered as prerequisites. Our study suggests a solution to the security reinforcement problem by analyzing the factors that influence the behavior of members of organizations. In turn, this can raise protection motivation among members.
