Damage and attack size of cyber terror is growing to the national size. Not only targeting at a certain companies or individuals but number of cyber terror targeting government bodies or unspecific people is increasing. This is because compared to traditional weapon, input cost is very cheap but ripple effect and shock are much stronger, affecting not only certain groups but also each individuals. 'Anti-terror measurement for protection of nation and public safety' passed last month is one of the renowned measurement passed regardless of objection from opposition party. The opposition party went against this through filibuster for 192 hours but this finally passed National Congress due to lack of oppositions. Korean government is taking post actions after passage of anti-terror measurement. Legislation of enforcement ordinance and regulations is due by 6th of next month. This regulation will be executed from June 4th after legislation. Whenever there is any security issues such as hacking of Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power and National Intelligence Service happens, lot of attention is made to those hackers. However, social recognition or management of those hackers need lot more improvement. Especially, as market of internet of things is increasing, there is an increased anxiety on information security. But as we only rely on security solutions, this problems are keep happening. Therefore, active investment on nurturing hackers who play the role of 'spear and shield' shall be made. Government should put more efforts to allow white hackers to show their abilities. We should have a policy for supporting high-quality programs such as BoB. To make information protection industry into future growth engine, it is necessary to nurture professionals for information protection and white hackers through special programs. Politicians should make related regulations as soon as possible to remove factors that prevent swift management of cyber attack due to lack of legislation. Government should pay lot more financial investment to nurturing professional manpower than now. Protecting life and asset of nation is responsibility and duty of our government. We all should recognize that controlling cyber attack is a part of national defense.

In the RFID system, bulk tag information is stored into the back-end database as plaintext format not ciphertext. In this case, the tags's private informations can be easily compromised by an external hacker or an insider attacker. If the private informations of tags disclosed by the attackers, it can occur serious privacy invasion problem. Recently the database(DB) security is an important issue to prevent the above DB compromised attack. However, DB security for RFID systeme has not been considered yet. If we use the DB security technique into the RFID system, the above described privacy invasion' problem can be easily prevented. Based on this motivation, this paper proposes a secure and efficient back-end database security and authentication(S-DB) scheme with XOR-based encryption/decryption algorithm. In the proposed scheme, all tag's private information is encrypted and stored by using the DB secret key to protect the DB compromised attack. As a result, the proposed S-DB scheme 'can provide stronger security and more efficiency for the secure RFID system environment.

'05. June, the first Internet banking accident occurred by the malignant cord. It discontinued security programs for protecting important financial informations. A computer hacker had made a collation of password, OTP(One Time Password) values etc and illegally withdraw one´s savings from the bank using the financial information. The attackers are continuously attempted with the hacking tool under bypass security programs as the vaccine program or the personal fire-wall. Therefore, an electronic financial system should be composed with the goal which is to protect financial informations from user's terminal to a banking server. In this paper, we make an analysis of menaces in electronic financial transactions and explain considerable security issues to enhance safety in Internet banking, CD/ATM and mobile banking.

In-Vehicle Infotainment provides navigation and various functions through the installation of the application. And infotainment is very important to control the entire vehicle by sending commands to the ECU. Infotainment supports a variety of wireless communication protocols to install and update applications. So Infotainment is becoming an attack surface through wireless communcation protocol for hacker's access. If malicious software is installed in infotainment, it can gain control of the vehicle and send a malicious purpose command to the ECU, affecting the life of the driver. Therefore, measures are needed to verify the security and reliability of infotainment software updates, and security requirements must be derived and verified. It must be developed in accordance with SDL to provide security and reliability, and systematic security requirements must be derived by applying threat modeling. Therefore, this paper conducts threat modeling to derive infotainment update security requirements. Also, the security requirements are mapped to the Common Criteria to provide criteria for updating infotainment software.

VR(Virtual Reality), which provides realistic services in virtual reality, provides a similar experience using a Head Mounted Display(HMD) device. When the HMD device is worn, it can not recognize the surrounding environment and it is easy to analyze the input pattern of the user with the Shoulder Surfing Attack(SSA) when entering the Personal Identification Number(PIN). In this paper, we propose a method to safeguard the user's password even if the hacker analyzes the input pattern while maintaining the user's convenience. For the first time, we implemented a new type of virtual keypad that deviates from the existing rectangle shape according to the VR characteristics and implemented the lock object for intuitive interaction with the user. In addition, a smart glove using the same sensor as the existing input devices of the VR and a PIN input method suitable for the rotary type are implemented and the safety of the SSA is verified through experiments.

An APT attack is a new hacking technique that continuously attacks specific targets and is called an APT attack in which a hacker exploits various security threats to continually attack a company or organization's network. Protect employees in a specific organization and access their internal servers or databases until they acquire significant assets of the company or organization, such as personal information leaks or critical data breaches. Also, APT attacks are not attacked at once, and it is difficult to detect hacking over the years. This white paper examines ongoing APT attacks and identifies, educates, and proposes measures to build a security management system, from the executives of each organization to the general staff. It also provides security updates and up-to-date antivirus software to prevent malicious code from infiltrating your company or organization, which can exploit vulnerabilities in your organization that could infect malicious code. And provides an environment to respond to APT attacks.

UART (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) is a hardware device that converts data into serial format and transmits it, and is widely used for system diagnosis and debugging in most embedded systems. Hackers can access system memory or firmware by using the functions of UART, and can take over the system by acquiring administrator rights of the system. In this paper, we studied secure UART to protect against hacker attacks through UART. In the proposed scheme, only authorized users using the promised UART communication protocol are allowed to access UART and unauthorized access is not allowed. In addition, data is encrypted and transmitted to prevent protocol analysis through sniffing. The proposed UART technique was implemented in an embedded Linux system and performance evaluation was performed.
