This paper proposes a security platform, called SCAP(Security platform for CORBA based APplication), to cope with potential threats in a distributed object system. SCAP supports CORBA security specification announced by OMG. SCAP is comprised of four functional blocks, which co-work with ORB to provide security services: Authentication Block, Association Block, Access Control Block, and Security Information Management Block. It is designed to support Common Secure Interoperability Functionality Level 2, which is useful for large-scale intra-, or inter-network based applications. Actual security services, which are dependent on supporting security technology, will be provided as external security service for replace ability. Implementation issues such as how to simulate an interceptor mechanism using a commercial ORB product without source code, and how to extend Current object required for security services are also described. At the end of the paper, the SCAP applied to the web environment is described to show its practical utilization.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) system is an automated identification system that basically consists of tags and readers and Back-End-Databases. Tags and Readers communicate with each other by RF signal. As a reader can identify many tags in contactless manner using RF signal, RFID system is expected to do a new technology to replace a bar-code system in supply-chain management and payment system and access control and medical record and so on. However, RFID system creates new threats to the security of systems and privacy of individuals, Because tags and readers communicate with each other in insecure channel using RF signal. So many people are trying to study various manners to solve these problems against attacks, But they are difficult to apply to RFID system based on EPCglobal UHF Class-1 Generation-2 tags. Recently, Chien and Chen proposed a mutual Authentication protocol for RFID conforming to EPCglobal UHF Class-1 Generation-2 tags. we discover vulnerabilities of security and inefficiency about their protocol. Therefore, We analyze vulnerabilities of their protocol and propose an efficient mutual authentication protocol that improves security and efficiency.

Due to rapid development of mobile device technologies, the mobile banking through Internet has become a major service of banking information systems as a security-critical information systems. Recently, lots of mobile banking information systems which handle personal and transaction information have been exposed to security threats in vulnerable security control and management processes, mainly software systems. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a process model for software security improvements in mobile banking information system by application of fault tree analysis(FTA) and failure modes and effects analysis(FMEA) on the most important activities such as 'user authentication' and 'access control' and 'virus detection and control' processes which security control and management of mobile banking information systems are very weak.

Nowadays, various security systems are developed and used for protecting information on the network. Although security solutions can prevent some of the security risks, they provide high performance only if used appropriately in accordance with their purposes and functionality. Security solutions commonly used in information protection systems include firewalls, IDS, and IPS. However, despite various information protection systems are introduced, there are always techniques that can threaten the security systems through bypassing them. The purpose of this paper is to develop effective training techniques for responding to the bypass attack techniques in the information security systems and to develop effective techniques that can be applied to the training. In order to implement the test bed we have used GNS3 network simulator, and deployed it on top of virtual operating system using VirtualBox. The proposed correspondence training scenario against bypassing information protection system attacks could be very effectively used to counteract the real attacks.

USA is strengthening the information sanity by managing federal agency's information and information system systematically. For this purpose, US government put the Federal Information Security Management Act into the E-Government Act of 2002. According to the FISMA, it is required to have information security management plan for ail federal agencies. In addition that, Inspector Generals of these agencies should assess the status of their agency and report the result to the office of Management and Budget. Collecting all the reports from each agency, OMB should report to GAO on general status of information security of federal agency. It is helpful to provoke the information security as a necessary activity to realize the E-government. Comparing these efforts with our system will give us good implications to get more idea to secure our information system.

For the last two decades, there has been much research on computer abuse from the perspective of the general deterrence theory based on objectism, which covers security policy, security awareness programs, and physical security system. The traditional view offered by the general deterrence theory indicates that security policy, security awareness, and security system play a major role in preventing computer abuse. In spite of continuous organizational efforts and investments based on these systematic factors, the incidence of computer abuse in organizations is still rapidly increasing. This paper proposes another perspective-the social control theory based on subjectism-in preventing computer abuse. According to the social control theory, organizational trust, which comprises organizational attachment, commitment, involvement and norms, can prevent computer abuse by reducing insider's computer abuse. The aim of this article is to assess the role of organizational trust come from attachment, commitment, involvement, norms in preventing computer abuse. The results indicate that both organizational trust and deterrent factors are effective in preventing computer abuse.

The methods of electronic financial fraud continue to evolve. Various research and countermeasures have been proposed to counter this problem, but it is difficult to eradicate it. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk of electronic financial fraud through MS Threat Risk Modeling and to propose the countermeasures against the electronic financial fraud. As a result of the analysis, it is confirmed that despite the difference of authentication methods, there is a high risk of pharming, and it is difficult to prevent attack by using only additional authentication means, device security or user authentication based security system. Therefore, this study suggests the introduction of preventive measures such as readjustment of transaction limit by security means, account authentication, and additional physical security measures. It also suggests the establishment and implementation of a comprehensive electronic financial fraud prevention policy through linkage of electronic fraud prevention system and improvement of public relations and user awareness.

Smart-phone Applications are consists of UI(User Interface). During using applications, UI events such as button click and scroll down are transmitted to Smart-phone system with many changes of UI. In these UI events, various information including user-input data are also involved. While Keylogging, which is a well-known user-input data acquisition technique, is needed a restrictive condition like rooting to obtain the user-input data in android environment, UI events have advantage which can be easily accessible to user-input data on user privileges. Although security solutions based keypad in several applications are applied, we demonstrate that these were exposed to vulnerability of application security and could be obtained user-input data using UI events regardless of presence of any security system. In this paper, we show the security threats related information disclosure using UI events and suggest the alternative countermeasures by showing the replay-attack example based scenarios.
