  • According to the development of IT technology, life itself is becoming the change to Knowledge-based systems or information-based systems. However, the development of IT technology, the cyber attack techniques are improving. And DDoS a crisis occurs frequently, such as cyber terrorism has become a major data leakage. In addition, the various paths of attack from malicious code entering information in the system to work for your company for loss and damage to information assets is increasing. In this environment, the need to preserve the organization and users of information assets to perform ongoing inspections risk management processes within the organization should be established. Processes and managerial, technical, and physical systems by establishing an information security management system should be based. Also, we should be introduced information security product for protecting internal assets from the threat of malicious code incoming to inside except system and process establishment. Therefore we proposed enterprise and government information security enhancement scheme through the introduction of information security management system and information security product in this paper.

  • A safe computer environment is necessarily required for computer users, because of a damage is widely increased by a malicious software such as the warm, virus and trojan horse. A general vaccine program can detect after the malicious software intruded. This kinds of the vaccine program show good result against a malicious code which is well known, however, there is no function in the vaccine or not enough ability to detect an application software which a malicious code included. So, this paper proposes an application verification system to decide existence and nonexistence of a malicious code in the application software. The proposed application verification system with a mechanism that grasps the flow type of malicious code, can make a reduction of a damage for computer users before the application software executed.

  • In this paper, we introduce a Graph based Binary Code Execution Path Exploration Platform. In the graph, a node is defined as a conditional branch instruction, and an edge is defined as the other instructions. We implemented prototype of the proposed method and works well on real binary code. Experimental results show proposed method correctly explores execution path of target binary code. We expect our method can help Software Assurance, Secure Programming, and Malware Analysis more correct and efficient.

  • One of the typical methods to prevent tampering and reverse engineering on executable codes is to encrypt them. This paper proposes a code block cipher method based on key chaining to encrypt the code. The block cipher by key chaining has been known to be inadequate for encrypting the code with control transfer, even though the key chaining has advantage of hiding the keys in blocks and making the individual keys different from block to block. This paper proposes a block transformation and duplication method to apply the block cipher by key chaining to the executable codes with control transfer instructions, and shows the idea works with the MIPS instruction set.

  • Code-reuse attacks are very dangerous in various systems. This is because they do not inject malicious codes into target systems, but reuse the instruction sequences in executable files or libraries of target systems. Moreover, code-reuse attacks could be more harmful to IoT systems in the sense that it may not be easy to devise efficient and effective mechanism for code-reuse attack detection in resource-restricted IoT devices. In this paper, we propose a detection scheme with using Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to combat against code-reuse attacks in IoT. Specifically, we detect code-reuse attacks by calculating KL divergence between the probability distributions of the packets that generate from IoT devices and contain code region addresses in memory system and the probability distributions of the packets that come to IoT devices and contain code region addresses in memory system, checking if the computed KL divergence is abnormal.

  • Form of backdoor penetration attacks "trapdoor" penetration points to bypass the security features and allow direct access to the data. Backdoor without modifying the source code is available, and even code generation can also be modified after compilation. This approach by rewriting the compiler when you compile the source code to insert a specific area in the back door can be due to the use of the method. Defense operations and the basic structure of the backdoor or off depending on the nature of the damage area can be a little different way. This study is based on the diagnosis of a back door operating mechanism acting backdoor analysis methods derived. Research purposes in advance of the attack patterns of malicious code can respond in a way that is intended to be developed. If we identify the structures of backdoor and the infections patterns through the analysis, in the future we can secure the useful information about malicious behaviors corresponding to hacking attacks.

  • In this paper, we preserve the transparency of digital contents by compressing and storing the medical image for a certain period so as to be safe and robust against various attacks of medical images. The proposed algorithm generates an encrypted image authentication code that extracts the feature value of the original image and combines it with the user's information. in order to extract hidden data, the authentication code is first decrypts the encrypted medical image and extracts the hidden data using the spatial characteristics of image. The proposed algorithm guarantees integrity when comparing extracted authentication code and newly generated authentication code for image authentication after directly inserting it into content itself through watermarking. We have proved various security of attack of image data and proved that the certification rate is improved to 98.4%.

  • Wireless data transmission is vulnerable to attackers and hackers. Recently, the fast development of wireless communication systems seamlessly increase the demand for security in this area. Moreover, error correction is especially important because various kinds of interferences among wireless devices. In order to solve two above problems, we propose to apply MCC (M-sequence Convolutional Code) in the system which is able to protect information and correct errors. The proposed system can obtain higher secure property by randomly changing the output connections by the proposed M-sequence. Performance of the system is analyzed according to BER (Bit Error Rate) and secure levels. The simulation results revealed that we can get the coding gain of 0.1 dB over conventional convolution coding technique. The proposed algorithm is installed in physical layer and easily implemented. Another advantage of our proposed (M-sequence and convolutional code) is that it can be applied to CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) communication system.

  • Increasing of damage by phishing, government and organization response more rapidly. So phishing use malware and vulnerability for attack. Recently attack that use patch analysis is increased when Microsoft announce patches. Cause of that, researcher for security on defense need technology of patch analysis. But most patch analysis are develop for Microsoft's product. Increasing of mobile environment, necessary of patch analysis on mobile is increased. But ordinary patch analysis can not use mobile environment that there is many file and small size. So we suggest this research that use code filtering instead of Control Flow Graph and Abstract Syntax Tree.

  • In C language, a local buffer overflow in stack can destroy control information stored near the buffer. In case the buffer overflow is used maliciously to overwrite the stored return address, the system is exposed to serious security vulnerabilities. This paper analyzes the process of buffer overflow hacking and methodologies to avoid the attacks in details. And it proposes a device of static buffer overflow detection by using function summary and tracking information flow of buffer domain at assembly source code level(SASS, Static Assembly Source code Scanner) and then show the feasibility and validity of it by implementing a prototype in Pentium based Linux environment.
