This paper analyzes the intrinsic vulnerability problems of the authentication system for Internet commerce based on the ID and password strings gathered from the computer keyboard. Through the found vulnerability, it is easy to sniff user passwords as well as any other keyboard inputs even when each of the existing keyboard protection softwares is running. We propose several countermeasures against the possible attacks to the vulnerability at both points of the hardware and the software concerns. The more secure environment for Internet commerce is highly required by implementing the proposed countermeasures.

The cyber attacks of recent attacks that target zero-day exploit security vulnerabilities before the security patch is released (Zero Day) attack, the web site is without the Lord. These attacks, those that use the vulnerability of security that is built into the software itself is in most cases, cyber attacks that use the vulnerability of the security of the source code, in particular, has a characteristic response that are difficult to security equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the security vulnerability from step to implement the software to prevent these attacks. In this paper, we try to design a Secure Coding Guide support tool to eliminate the threat of security from the stage of implementation.

Time out-medium access control (T-MAC) protocol is one of the well-known MAC protocols designed for wireless sensor networks (WSN), and is proposed to enhance the poor performance of the S-MAC protocol. In this paper, we are reviewed about security vulnerability in T-MAC, and analyzed the power which is consumed at each stage of T-MAC protocol according to vulnerability of denial of service (DoS) and replay problem. From our analytical results, it can be considered the need of power efficient authentication scheme which provides the reliability, efficiency, and security for a general T-MAC communication. This is the case study of possible DoS vulnerability and its power consumption in T-MAC.

Following the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the scope of application of IoT technology is expanding to industrial safety areas that detect and prevent possible risks in outdoor environments in advance, away from improving the convenience of living in indoor environments. Although this expansion of IoT service provides many advantages, it also causes security problems such as data leakage and modulation, so research on security response strategies is being actively carried out. In this paper, the IoT-based road construction risk management system in outdoor environment is proposed as a research subject. As a result of investigating the security vulnerabilities of the low-power wide-area (LPWA, BLE) communication protocol applied to the research targets, the security vulnerabilities were identified in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, which are the three major elements of information security, and countermeasures for each vulnerability were proposed. This study is meaningful in investigating and analyzing possible vulnerabilities in the operation of the IoT-based risk management system and proposing practical security guidelines for each vulnerability.

The web space where web applications run is the cyber information warfare of attackers and defenders due to the open HTML. In the cyber attack space, about 84% of worldwide attacks exploit vulnerabilities in web applications and software. It is very difficult to detect web vulnerability attacks with security products such as web firewalls, and high labor costs are required for security verification and assurance of web applications. Therefore, rapid vulnerability detection and response in web space by automated software is a key and effective cyber attack defense strategy. In this paper, we establish a security risk management model by intensively analyzing security threats against web applications and software, and propose a method to effectively diagnose web and application vulnerabilities. The testing results on the commercial service are analyzed to prove that our approach is more effective than the other existing methods.

As the number of security vulnerabilities increases yearly, security threats continue to occur, and the vulnerability risk is also important. We devise a security threat score calculation reflecting trends to determine the risk of security vulnerabilities. The three stages considered key elements such as attack type, supplier, vulnerability trend, and current attack methods and techniques. First, it reflects the results of checking the relevance of the attack type, supplier, and CVE. Secondly, it considers the characteristics of the topic group and CVE identified through the LDA algorithm by the Jaccard similarity technique. Third, the latest version of the MITER ATT&CK framework attack method, technology trend, and relevance between CVE are considered. We used the data within overseas sites provide reliable security information to review the usability of the proposed final formula CTRS. The scoring formula makes it possible to fast patch and respond to related information by identifying vulnerabilities with high relevance and risk only with some particular phrase.

The recent "Log4j Security Vulnerability Incident" has occurred, and the information system that uses the open source "Log4J" has been exposed to vulnerabilities. The incident brought great vulnerabilities in the information systems of South Korea's major government agencies or companies and global information systems, causing problems with open source vulnerabilities. Despite the advantages of many advantages, the current development paradigm, which is developed using open source, can easily spread software security vulnerabilities, ensuring open source safety and reliability. You need to check the open source. However, open source vulnerability scan tools have various languages and functions. Therefore, the existing software evaluation criteria are ambiguous and it is difficult to evaluate advantages and weaknesses, so this paper has developed a new evaluation criteria for the vulnerability analysis tools of open source

Hackers' cyber attack techniques are becoming more sophisticated and diversified, with a form of attack that has never been seen before. In terms of information security vulnerability standard code (CVE), about 90,000 new codes were registered from 2015 to 2020. This indicates that security threats are increasing rapidly. When new security vulnerabilities occur, damage should be minimized by preparing countermeasures for them, but in many cases, companies are insufficient to cover the security management level and response system with a limited security IT budget. The reason is that it takes about a month for analysts to discover vulnerabilities through manual analysis, prepare countermeasures through security equipment, and patch security vulnerabilities. In the case of the public sector, the National Cyber Safety Center distributes and manages security operation policies in a batch. However, it is not easy to accept the security policy according to the characteristics of the manufacturer, and it takes about 3 weeks or more to verify the traffic for each section. In addition, when abnormal traffic inflow occurs, countermeasures such as detection and detection of infringement attacks through vulnerability analysis must be prepared, but there are limitations in response due to the absence of specialized security experts. In this paper, we proposed a method of using the security policy information sharing site "snort.org" to prepare effective countermeasures against new security vulnerability attacks.
