Since the facilities for the remote users tend to be deployed in distributed manner, authentication schemes for multi-server communication settings, which provide various web services, are required for real-world applications. A typical way to authenticate a remote user relies on password authentication mostly. However, this method is vulnerable to attacks and inconvenient as the system requires users to maintain different identities and corresponding passwords. On the other hand, the user can make use of a single password for all servers, but she may be exposed to variants of malicious attacks. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure authentication scheme based on a brokered authentication along with smart-cards in multi-server environment. Further we show that our scheme is secure against possible attacks and analyze its performance with respect to communication and computational cost.

WebShell is a web script file created by a hacker to remotely commands to a web server. The hacker can bypass the security system using the web shell, access the system, control the system such as file modification, copying and deletion, install malicious code in the web source code, attack the user's PC, And so on. There are many types of WebShell attack, but we study about attacks on PHP and JSP based web server which are used as representative ones. And we propose the method of web page management, method of development, and several other methods. By using these countermeasures, it is possible to effectively prevent damage caused by WebShell attacks.

Information security reports four types of basic attacks on information. One of the attacks is named as fabrication. Even though mobile devices and applications are showing its maturity in terms of performance, security and ubiquity, location-based applications still faces challenges of quality of service, privacy, integrity, authentication among mobile devices and hence mobile users associated with the devices. There is always a continued fear as how location information of users or IoT appliances is used by third party LB Service providers. Even adversary or malicious attackers get hold of location information in transit or fraudulently hold this information. In this paper, location information fabrication scenarios are presented after knowing basic model of information attacks. Peer-to-Peer broadcast model of location privacy is proposed. This document contains introduction to fabrication, solutions to such threats, management of fabrication mitigation in collaborative or peer to peer location privacy and its cost analysis. There are various infrastructure components in Location Based Services such as Governance Server, Point of interest POI repository, POI service, End users, Intruders etc. Various algorithms are presented and analyzed for fabrication management, integrity, and authentication. Moreover, anti-fabrication mechanism is devised in the presence of trust. Over cost analysis is done for anti-fabrication management due to nature of various cryptographic combinations.

The main goal of VANETs is to improve the safety of all road users. Therefore, the accuracy and trustworthiness of messages transmitted in VANETs are essential, given that life may rely on them. VANETs are provided with basic security services through the use of public key infrastructure-based authentication. However, the trust of users is still an open issue in VANETs. It is important to prevent bogus message attacks from internal vehicles as well as protect vehicle privacy. In this paper, we propose a trust management scheme that ensures trust in VANETs while maintaining vehicle privacy. The trust scheme establishes trust between vehicles where a trust value is assigned to every vehicle based on its behavior and messages are accepted only from vehicles whose trust value is greater than a threshold, therefore, protecting VANETs from malicious vehicles and eliminating bogus messages. If a traffic event happens, vehicles upload event messages to the reachable roadside unit (RSU). Once the RSU has confirmed that the event happened, it announces the event to vehicles in its vicinity and records it into the blockchain. Using this mechanism, RSUs are prevented from sending fake or unverified event notifications. Simulations are carried out in the context of bogus message attacks to evaluate the trust scheme's reliability and efficiency. The results of the simulation indicate that the proposed scheme outperforms the compared schemes and is highly resistant to bogus message attacks.

With the advancement of modern technology, cyber-attacks are always rising. Specialized defense systems are needed to protect organizations against these threats. Malicious behavior in the network is discovered using security tools like intrusion detection systems (IDS), firewall, antimalware systems, security information and event management (SIEM). It aids in defending businesses from attacks. Delivering advance threat feeds for precise attack detection in intrusion detection systems is the role of cyber-threat intelligence (CTI) in the study is being presented. In this proposed work CTI feeds are utilized in the detection of assaults accurately in intrusion detection system. The ultimate objective is to identify the attacker behind the attack. Several data sets had been analyzed for attack detection. With the proposed study the ability to identify network attacks has improved by using machine learning algorithms. The proposed model provides 98% accuracy, 97% precision, and 96% recall respectively.

In the recent years, cyber attacks by malicious codes called malware has become a social problem. With the explosive appearance and increase of new malware, innumerable disasters caused by metaphoric malware using the existing malicious codes have been reported. To secure more effective detection of malicious codes, in other words, to make a more accurate judgment as to whether suspicious files are malicious or not, this study introduces the malware analysis system, which is based on a profiling technique using the Finite Automata. This new analysis system enables realtime automatic detection of malware with its optimized partial execution method. In this paper, the functions used within a file are expressed by finite automata to find their correlation, and a realtime malware analysis system enabling us to give an immediate judgment as to whether a file is contaminated by malware is suggested.

With the development of computer systems, there has been a sharp increase in the threats on these systems including attacks by malicious programs such as virus, vandal, etc. Currently virus vaccines are widely used to thwart these threats, but they have many weaknesses. They cannot guard against unknown threats and sometimes, they also cannot detect the existence of malicious programs before these malicious programs make any destructive results. For lack of an efficient security model, the existing security programs have the problem that they raise many false-positive alarms in spite of normal action. So it becomes very important to develop the improved security program that can make up for the weakness of the existing computer security program and can detect many threats of malicious programs as early as possible. In this paper we describe the design of an improved security model and the implementation of a security program that can filter and handle the threats on computer systems at the kernel level in real time.

In modern networks, data rate is getting faster and transferred data is extremely increased. At this point, the malicious codes are evolving to various types very fast, and the frequency of occurring new malicious code is very short. So, it is hard to collect/analyze data using general networks with the techniques like traditional intrusion detection or anormaly detection. In this paper, we collect and analyze the data more effectively with cloud environment than general simple networks. Also we analyze the malicious code which is similar to real network's malware, using botnet server/client includes DNS Spoofing attack.

Cases in which personal terminals or servers are infected by ransomware are rapidly increasing. Ransomware uses a self-developed encryption module or combines existing symmetric key/public key encryption modules to illegally encrypt files stored in the victim system using a key known only to the attacker. Therefore, in order to decrypt it, it is necessary to know the value of the key used, and since the process of finding the decryption key takes a lot of time, financial costs are eventually paid. At this time, most of the ransomware malware is included in a hidden form in binary files, so when the program is executed, the user is infected with the malicious code without even knowing it. Therefore, in order to respond to ransomware attacks in the form of binary files, it is necessary to identify the encryption module used. Therefore, in this study, we developed a mechanism that can detect and identify by reverse analyzing the encryption module applied to the malicious code hidden in the binary file.
