  • 이동 통신은 대기를 전달매체로 하고 이동단말기를 사용하기 때문에 가로채기나 불법사용과 같은 공격에 취약하다. 이를 극복하기 위해, 이동 통신 환경에서 이동단말기와 기지국 사이에 안전한 통신을 제공하기 위한 많은 프로토콜들이 제안되어왔다. 그러나 이동단말기의 부족한 계산능력과 전력량 때문에 공개키를 이용한 프로토콜들은 많은 장점에도 불구하고 충분히 활용되지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경에서 기지국과 이동단말기 사이의 상호인증 및 세션키 공유 프로토콜들의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 이동단말기의 비밀 정보를 기지국에게 드러나게 하지 않으면서 많은 계산을 기지국으로 하여금 대신 수행하도록 하는 것이다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 프로토콜들을 최대 5배까지 성능을 향상시키며 해당하는 만큼 이동단말기의 전력량 소모를 감소시킬 수있다.Abstract Mobile communication is more vulnerable to security attacks such as interception and unauthorized access than fixed network communication. To overcome these problems, many protocols have been proposed to provide a secure channel between a mobile station and a base station. However, these public-key based protocols have not been fully utilized due to the poor computing power and small battery capacity of mobile stations. In this paper, we propose techniques for accelerating public-key based key establishment protocols between a mobile station and a base station. The proposed techniques enable a mobile station to borrow computing power from a base station without revealing its secret information. The proposed schemes accelerate the previous protocols up to five times and reduce the amount of power consumption of mobile stations.

  • In order to solve the increasing security problems, IDSs(Intrusion Detection System) have appeared. However, local IDSs have a limit to detect various intrusions in a large-scale network environment. So there are a lot of researches in progress which organize the elements of IDS in a distributed or hierarchical manner. In this paper, we design a integrated IDS which exchanges messages between them through the standardized message format (IDMEF) and communication protocol (IDXP). We also propose a policy profile for an effective control of IDSs, and employ the PKI mechanism for mutual authentication. We implement a prototype system for the proposed IDSs communicating with Snort and analyze its performance.

  • This study lies on building the International Standardization of China Arbitration System for improving a relationship of mutual trust and the safety trade between China and other worldwide countries, especially, South Korea as their one of the biggest trading partners through the comparative analysis of China and UNCITRAL Arbitration Law. In this analysis, the differences from China and UNCITRAL in arbitration law are like belows ; lack of arbitrator's international mind, the limitation of private property right, prohibition of Ad. hoc arbitration, arbitrator's biased nationalism, localism, and their short specialties. a deficiency of the objectiveness for arbitrator's election, a judgement rejection of claimants by using nonattendance and walkout, impossibility of prior and temporary property custody for execution of arbitration award. etc. For the improvement of the International Standardization of China Arbitration, this paper propose as follows: 1) Extension of private property right, reorganization of tax system, realization of open competition, exclusion of 'Sinocentrism', globalization of arbitration system 2) The abolition of old fashioned bureaucracy with approval for ad.hoc arbitration 3) An education for arbitrator's internationalization, specialty, and to promote legal knowledge 4) A settlement of the third country arbitrators' selection for reflecting interested party's decision by the court in a selection system of arbitration committee. 5) Institutionalization of arbitration judgment that prevent for claimant's avoidance by using a withdrawal and an intentional absent 6) A permission of the right of claimant's court custody directly before the begging of arbitration request for the prevention for destruction of evidence and property concealment 7) Grant of the arbitration tribunal's interim measures of protection for private property preservation to the third party, proof security, prevention from the loss that selling the corruptible goods 8) Improvement of arbitration's efficiency from the exclusion of the obstacles that are forgery, concealed evidence, and arbitrator's bribe taking Lastly, I hope that this study will serve to promote friendly economic relationship between China and South Korea and strive for international equilibrium through the achievement of China Arbitration's International Standardization. I will finish this paper with a firm belief that this will lead to more advanced studies.

  • Social media is growing rapidly as a means of promoting artists' artworks and a channel for sales. However, since social media is not fundamentally a platform designed for trading, it has various limitations that make it difficult to ensure trust and security in carrying out transactions. In this paper, it is proposed interoperability between social media and blockchain-based smart contract system that can record and preserve the artist's profile, information related to artworks and details of the contract on the blockchain. The proposed interoperability allows artwork trading participants on social media to maintain mutual trust and to conduct the contract transparently. Also, the proposed interoperability consists of an API provided by the social media developer or an open source API without having to modify existing social media. This study is expected to contribute to the growth of the art trading market on social media by complementing the art trading practices on social media.

  • Remote user authentication is a method, in which remote server verifies the legitimacy of a user over an common communication channel. Currently, smart card based remote user authentication schemes have been widely adopted due to their low computational cost and convenient portability for the mutual authentication. 2009 years, Wang et al.'s proposed a dynamic ID-based remote user authentication schemes using smart cards. They presented that their scheme preserves anonymity of user, has the feature of storing password chosen by the server, and protected from several attacks. However, in this paper, I point out that Wang et al.'s scheme has practical vulnerability. I found that their scheme does not provide anonymity of a user during authentication. In addition, the user does not have the right to choose a password. And his scheme is vulnerable to limited replay attacks. In particular, the parameter y to be delivered to the user is ambiguous. To overcome these security faults, I propose an enhanced authentication scheme, which covers all the identified weakness of Wang et al.'s scheme and an efficient user authentication scheme that preserve perfect anonymity to both the outsider and remote server.

  • As the political arguments on international power concept has gradually been deepened, the role of international regimes, defined as principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures around which nation-actors' expectations converge in a given issue-area, has also been reinforced. There are many ways of understanding about international regimes. In terms of realistic theories, international regimes are one of methods of maintaining hegemonic power order of hegemonic nation and in terms of liberalistic theories, international regimes are understood as the products of mutual inter-dependence of nations in changing international society. As a matter of fact, if we take structural causes and regime consequences into severe consideration, we can find not a few characteristics of international regimes, such as security regime, world trade and fiance regime, ocean regime, environmental regime, human right regime, etc. This paper will examine the changing concept of power after World War II in three categories of hard power (military power), meta power (regime creating power), and soft power (advanced in cultural, diplomatical, and technological power). This paper will provide the evidence of why the changing power concepts will be strongly related with the emergence of international regimes. The UN convention on the law of the sea will chosen as a standard case of the ocean regime and it's regime structure and role will also be analysed in both realistic :md liberalistic theories. Futhermore, the nations' interests involved in the UN convention on the law of the sea will be analytically classified and finally a future prospectus of the UN convention on the law of the sea as an ocean regime will be tested.

  • Since Goryo was established during the early tenth century, Koreans have believed that Goguryo, which ruled almost all of the Manchurian territory, was one of the Three Kingdoms of their ancestors. This Korean perspective conflicts with the Chinese perspective that Goguryo was a Chinese local government in Manchuria and the northen parts of Korean Peninsula. Modern Chinese people wish, by the measure of Manchurian Project, that the history of China includes the histories of all the ethnic groups in Manchurian territory. Although Chinese people attempt unreasonably to regard Goguryo as an old Chinese local government, it is not from the Korean nationalistic viewpoint but from the scientific historian viewpoint that this Chinese perspective should be criticised and corrected. We should remember that the nationalistic viewpoints in East Asia may hinder the establishment of mutual cooperation and security in the region.

  • In digital computing environment, for the mal functions in appliances and system errors, the unaccepted intrusion should be occurred. The evidence collecting technology uses the system which was damaged by intruders and that system is used as evidence materials in the court of justice. However the collected evidences are easily modified and damaged in the gathering evidence process, the evidence analysis process and in the court. That’s why we have to prove the evidence’s integrity to be valuably used in the court. In this paper, we propose a mechanism for securing the reliability and the integrity of digital evidence that can properly support the Computer Forensics. The proposed mechanism shares and manages the digital evidence through mutual authenticating the damaged system, evidence collecting system, evidence managing system and the court(TTP: Trusted Third Party) and provides a secure access control model to establish the secure evidence management policy which assures that the collected evidence has the corresponded legal effect.

  • The IEEE 802.1x standard provides an architectural framework which can be used various authentication methods. But, IEEE 802.1x also has vulnerabilities about the DoS(Denial of Service), the session hijacking and the MiM(Man in the Middle) attack due to caused by structural of authentication protocol. In this paper, we propose a WLAN system which can offer safety communication by complement of IEEE 802.1x vulnerabilities. The WLAN system accomplishes mutual authentications between authentication servers, clients and the AP using PKI and prevents an illegal user from intervening in communication to disguise oneself as a client, the AP or authentication servers. Also, we guarantee the safety of the communication by the Dynamic WEP key distribution between clients and the AP.

  • Body area networks (BANs) have emerged as an enabling technique for e-healthcare systems, which can be used to continuously and remotely monitor patients' health. In BANs, the data of a patient's vital body functions and movements can be collected by small wearable or implantable sensors and sent using shortrange wireless communication techniques. Due to the shared wireless medium between the sensors in BANs, it may be possible to have malicious attacks on e-healthcare systems. The security and privacy issues of BANs are becoming more and more important. To provide secure and correct association of a group of sensors with a patient and satisfy the requirements of data confidentiality and integrity in BANs, we propose a novel enhanced secure sensor association and key management protocol based on elliptic curve cryptography and hash chains. The authentication procedure and group key generation are very simple and efficient. Therefore, our protocol can be easily implemented in the power and resource constrained sensor nodes in BANs. From a comparison of results, furthermore, we can conclude that the proposed protocol dramatically reduces the computation and communication cost for the authentication and key derivation compared with previous protocols. We believe that our protocol is attractive in the application of BANs.
