  • Blacklist-based tools are most commonly used to effectively detect suspected malicious processes. The blacklist-based tool compares the malicious code extracted from the existing malicious code with the malicious code. Therefore, it is most effective to detect known malicious codes, but there is a limit to detecting malicious code variants. In order to solve this problem, the necessity of a white list-based tool, which is the opposite of black list, has emerged. Whitelist-based tools do not extract features of malicious code processes, but rather collect reliable processes and verify that the process that checks them is a trusted process. In other words, if malicious code is created using a new vulnerability or if variant malicious code appears, it is not in the list of trusted processes, so it can effectively detect malicious code. In this paper, we propose a method for effectively building a whitelist through research that collects reliable processes in the macOS operating system.

  • As the number of smartphone users increases, vulnerability to privacy protection is increasing. This is because personal information is stored on various servers connected to the Internet and the user is authenticated using the same ID and password. Authentication methods such as OTP, FIDO, and PIN codes have been introduced to solve traditional authentication methods, but their use is limited for authentication that requires sharing with other users. In this paper, we propose the authentication method that is needed for the management of shared information such as hospitals and corporations. The proposed algorithm is an algorithm that can authenticate users in the same place in real time using smart phone IMEI, QR code, BLE, push message. We propose an authentication algorithm that can perform user authentication through mutual cooperation using a smart phone and can cancel realtime authentication. And we designed and implemented a mutual authentication system using proposed algorithm.

  • Smart grid technology can expand energy efficiency into the home by monitoring consumer energy usage in real time and communicating with household devices that respond to demands to shut off during periods of non-use, allowing individual consumers to control their electricity usage more effectively. But, the information collected on a smart grid will form a library of personal information, the mishandling of which could be highly invasive of consumer privacy. There will be major concerns if consumer-focused principles of transparency and control are not treated as essential design principles from beginning to end. In this paper, using. All-Or-Nothing Transform encryption mode for providing smart grid security, we propose efficient distributed data Management based on XOR operation. The contribution of this paper is to provide a secure algorithm that manages efficiently distributed data in the field of private data in smart grid environment.

  • Because the traditional public key-based cryptosystems are unsuitable for the sensor node with limited computational and communication capability, a secure communication between two neighbor sensor nodes becomes an important challenging research in sensor network security. Therefore several session key establishment protocols have been proposed for that purpose. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the existing session key establishment protocols based on the criterions of generation strategy and uniqueness of the session key, connectivity, overhead of communication and computation, and vulnerability to attacks. Based on the analysis results, we specify the requirements for the secure and efficient protocols for establishing session keys. Then, we propose an advanced protocol to satisfy the specified requirements and verify the superiority of our protocol over the existing protocols through the detailed analysis.

  • Understanding the various unspecified hacking and repeated cyber DDoS attacks, finally was able to find a solution in the methods of attacks. Freely researching approach that combines the attacker and defender, offensive and defensive techniques can be called a challenge to discover the potential in whimsy. In this paper we test and evaluate "KWON-GA", global white hackers team has made by many years of experiences in infiltration and diagnosis under guise of offence is the best defence. And it is knowledge information ICT Convergence security solution which is developed for the purpose of defence, it provide customization policy that can be fit to customer's system environment with needed techniques and it is processed with unique proprietary technology so that it's not possible to scan. And even if it has leaked internally it's impossible to analyze so hackers can't analyze vulnerability, also it can't be abused as hacking tools.

  • Recently, Li and Hwang scheme proposed a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart card. It is asserted that this scheme has very excellent benefits by the operation cost efficiency based on the smart card, one-way function and biometrics using random numbers. But this scheme cannot provide the properly authentication, especially, it is analyzed as the vulnerable security scheme for Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks by impersonate attacks. The attacker controls the insecure channel, they can easily fabricate messages to pass the user's or server's authentication, and the malicious attacker can impersonate the user to cheat the server and can impersonate the server to cheat the user without knowing any secret information. This paper proposes the strong improved scheme which can respond to multiple attacks by supplementing the function of integrity check from the server which applied variable authenticator and OSPA without exposing the user's password information. It is supplemented pregnable of disguise attack and mutual authentication of Li and Hwang scheme.

  • Hsiang-Shin proposed a user authentication scheme which was created by improving Yoon's scheme. Afterwards, An showed the failure to meet security requirements which are considered in user authentication using password-based smart card in Hsiang-Shih-suggested scheme. In other words, it was found that an attacker can steal a user's card, and detect a user's password by temporarily accessing it and extracting the information stored in it. However, An-proposed scheme also showed its vulnerability to password-guessing attack and forgery/impersonation attack, etc. and thus, this paper proposed the improved user authentication scheme. The proposed authentication scheme can thwart the password-guessing attack completely and this paper proposed scheme also includes an efficient mutual authentication method that can make it possible for users and authentication server to certify the other party.

  • The existing RBAC models are not sufficient for managing delegations or separation of roles. Researches have been done on RBDM(Role Based Delegation Model) that deal with delegating role or permission to other users. In this paper, we divide the delegated roles into two groups: periodic and temporary delegation roles. When a role is delegated, a time period is assigned together, which is used to revoke the permission of delegated role automatically. In our model, the role of monotonic delegation by an original user can be revoked at any time in case of malicious use by the delegated user. The contribution of our model is that the malicious use of delegated role can be prohibited and security vulnerability in the role hierarchy due to role delegations can be alleviated. The proposed model, T RBDM(Time out Based RBDM) is analyzed and compared with the conventional models, such as RBDM0, RBDM1 and PBDM. Our model shows an advantage over other models in terms of security robustness.

  • The illegal leakage of enterprise digital confidential information will threaten the enterprise with bankruptcy. Today since most small-and-medium companies have no capability to fight against illegally compromising their critically confidential documents in spite of knowing the leakage of them, strongly safe distribution system of the digital confidential documents should be designed so in secure as to prevent any malicious intent of embezzlement from accessing the critical information. Current DRM-based protection system is not always perfect to protect the digital secrets, even seems to leave the secrets open. Therefore our study has analyzed the illegal leakage paths that hackers attack against and the vulnerability of the current protection systems. As result, we study the group communication based system architecture satisfying the security conditions to make even legitimate working employee keep out of the confidential documents, without performance degradation. The main idea of this architecture is to stay every secrets in encrypted form; to isolate the encrypted documents from the crypto-key; to associate every entity with one activity and to authenticate every entity with DSA-based public key system; multiple authentication method make hackers too busy to get a privilege to access the secrets with too many puzzle pieces. This paper deal with the basic architectural structure for the above issues.
