Background: Formaldehyde is used to preserve cadaver in medical schools, and students are exposed to formaldehyde during cadaver dissection classes. When humans are exposed to formaldehyde, it induces mucosal inflammation, skin inflammation, and declining of neurobehavioral function including attention and memory executive functions. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of formaldehyde exposure on student's neurobehavioral performance during cadaver dissection classes. Methods: The level of formaldehyde was measured in a cadaver dissection class. A total of 16 students were randomly divided into two groups. One group wore respiratory protection masks, while the other group did not. Among many subtests in Korean Computerized Neurobehavioral test, backward digit span was tested on all subjects before and after the class. Results: The length of memorized digit span between the two groups was not significant; however there was a greater decrease in neurobehavioral function after formaldehyde exposure in the non-mask group than the mask group. Conclusion: Formaldehyde exposure during cadaver dissection may likely decrease neurobehavioral performance of students. Therefore, proper ventilation system and respiratory protective equipment are necessary to protect medical school students from adverse effects of formaldehyde exposure.

Despite the opinion that certificate is useless, half of the population in Korea (approx. 35 million) get an certificate, and use it for internet banking, internet shopping, stock trading, and so on. Most users store their certificates on a usb memory or smartphone, and certificates or passwords stored on such storage media can be easily attacked and used to disguise as legitimate users. Due to these security problem of certificate, a various authentication technologies has been proposed such as smartphone owner authentication using SMS, and a personal authentication using biometric authentication. However, a safe technique is not presented yet without user password, and certificate. In this paper, I proposed a method to secure certificate/private key without a user password using a combination of USIM card and smartphone's information. Even if a hacker gets the user password, the certificate, and the private key, he can not use the certificate. User do not need to remember complex password which is a combination of alphabetic / numeric / special characters, and use his certificate safely.

Recently industry is suffering severe losses of important internal information, and most of the leaks result from the insiders. Thus, various technological counter measures are being studied in order to protect private organization information. In this paper, among various internal information leakage path protection mechanisms, we propose a technique for preventing files which are defined as confidential from being copied or moved through USB. The implemented confidential file loss prevention system is composed of both signature insert manager and confidential file detect manager. The signature insert manager allows a system administrator to insert a special pattern specifying a classified confidential file, while the confidential file detect manager protects confidential file leakage when a user attempts to move or copy a confidential file to the USB memory. This results would be contributed to reducing the damage caused by leakage of confidential files outside of the company via USB.

The electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges are significantly changeable in amplitude and time, one of the topics concerning electromagnetic compatibility of modern electronic systems is the efficient and economic protection against transient voltages caused by not only by direct but also by nearly lightning strokes. In this paper, in order to obtain the detailed informations about lightning electromagnetic impulse waveforms, the electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges in the summer of 1995 were measured by a fast electric antenna and a loop-type magnetic field sensor, and their charac- teristics were presented and analyzed. The signals of the electric and magnetic fields were re- corded continuously by a transient digitizer having a resolution of 12 bit and a memory capacity of 5000 point and using a sampling time of 200 ns. The electric and magnetic field waveforms associated with lightning return strokes are significantly different with those of intracloud discharges. The magnetic fields radiated by intracloud lightning discharges have essentially the same waveforms as the electric field when the lightning discharhes are at distance of 50 km or more. Also the main frequency components of the electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning discharges range from a few kHz to several hundred kHz.

There has been a growing interest in automation of factories in the country. And, the development in this regard has been actively attempted. In particular, on the basis of the "innovation 3.0 strategy of manufacturing industry", interest in the smart of the manufacturing plant of small and medium-sized enterprises has increased rapidly. As well as policy for building smart plant, technical, seeking a strategic approach. But, in order to introduce such a smart plant or factory automation systems, manufacturing plant security with vulnerability and personal information protection problems, it should always be top priority there. Accordingly, we provide the applicable lightweight secure protocols in RFID communication. It is a wireless communication technology that is most often introduced for factory automation. Our proposed lightweight secure protocol in this study, less the number of calculations in comparison with the existing public key-based and the symmetric key encryption algorithm. And it is fast in compare with the existing protocol. Furthermore, we design that it system can support to low power consumption and small consume the memory size.

A radio-frequency identification(RFID) tag is a small, inexpensive microchip that emits an identifier in response to a query from a nearby reader. The price of these tags promises to drop to the range of $0.05 per unit in the next several years, offering a viable and powerful replacement for barcodes. The challenge in providing security for low-cost RFID tags is that they are computationally weak devices, unable to perform even basic symmetric-key cryptographic operations. Security researchers often therefore assume that good privacy protection in RFID tags is unattainable. In this paper, we explore a notion of minimalist cryptography suitable for RFID tags. We consider the type of security obtainable in RFID devices with a small amount of rewritable memory, but very limited computing capability. Our aim is to show that standard cryptography is not necessary as a starting point for improving security of very weak RFID devices. Our contribution is threefold: 1. We propose a new formal security model for authentication and privacy in RFID tags. This model takes into account the natural computational limitations and the likely attack scenarios for RFID tags in real-world settings. It represents a useful divergence from standard cryptographic security modeling, and thus a new view of practical formalization of minimal security requirements for low-cost RFID-tag security. 2. We describe protocol that provably achieves the properties of authentication and privacy in RFID tags in our proposed model, and in a good practical sense. Our proposed protocol involves no computationally intensive cryptographic operations, and relatively little storage. 3. Of particular practical interest, we describe some reduced-functionality variants of our protocol. We show, for instance, how static pseudonyms may considerably enhance security against eavesdropping in low-cost RFID tags. Our most basic static-pseudonym proposals require virtually no increase in existing RFID tag resources.

Although various home services are developed as increasing the number of home devices with wire and wireless connection, privacy infringement and private information leakage are occurred by unauthorized remote connection. It is almost caused by without of device authentication and protection of transmission data. In this paper, the devices' secret value are stored in a safe memory of a smartphone. A smartphone processes device authentication. In order to prevent leakage of a device's password, a shadow password multiplied a password by the private key is stored in a device. It is proposed mutual authentication between a smartphone and a device, and session key agreement for devices using recovered passwords on SRP. The proposed protocol is resistant to eavesdropping, a reply attack, impersonation attack.

Adoption of wireless communication facilities in mobile devices leads to increased vulnerability in individual privacy. One of such cases was discovered when a smart mobile phone of Paris Hilton at Oscar Award Ceremony was hacked a Swedish group of hackers. In this study, I wondered what sort of personal information could be exposed to hackers in such cases. In the course of survey, it was recognized that technical analysis of flash memory in mobile devices to check what kinds of data are stored there is technically almost impossible, since they are usually built in a proprietary manner. No generic tools could apply to discover their contents. Having recognized technical difficulties, it was inevitable to resort to a questionnaire survey to see awareness level with regard to personal privacy. We collected response from three hundred respondents by posting the questionnaire at World Survey on-line research site. What we have discovered was quite astonishing that even personal residence registration numbers have been found from nine of every ten respondents. Other data revealed include phone numbers, names, and personal bank accounts.
