Secured and reliable routing is a crucial factor for improving the performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) since these networks are susceptible to many types of attacks. The existing assumption about the internal nodes in wireless mesh networks is that they cooperate well during the forwarding of packets all the time. However, it is not always true due to the presence of malicious and mistrustful nodes. Hence, it is essential to establish a secure, reliable and stable route between a source node and a destination node in WMN. In this paper, a trust based secure routing algorithm is proposed for enhancing security and reliability of WMN, which contains cross layer and subject logic based reliable reputation scheme with security tag model for providing effective secured routing. This model uses only the trusted nodes with the forwarding reliability of data transmission and it isolates the malicious nodes from the providing path. Moreover, every node in this model is assigned with a security tag that is used for efficient authentication. Thus, by combining authentication, trust and subject logic, the proposed approach is capable of choosing the trusted nodes effectively to participate in forwarding the packets of trustful peer nodes successfully. The simulation results obtained from this work show that the proposed routing protocol provides optimal network performance in terms of security and packet delivery ratio.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), acting as mobile base stations (BSs), can be deployed in the typical fifth-generation mobile communications (5G) scenarios for the purpose of substantially enhancing the radio coverage. Meanwhile, UAV aided underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication mode can be activated for further improving the capacity of the 5G networks. However, this UAV aided D2D communication system is more vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks, resulting in security risks. In this paper, the D2D receivers work in full-duplex (FD) mode, which improves the security of the network by enabling these legitimate users to receive their useful information and transmit jamming signal to the eavesdropper simultaneously (with the same frequency band). The security communication under the UAV coverage is evaluated, showing that the system's (security) capacity can be substantially improved by taking advantage of the flexible radio coverage of UAVs. Furthermore, the closed-form expressions for the coverage probabilities are derived, showing that the cellular users (CUs)' secure coverage probability in downlink transmission is mainly impacted by the following three factors: its communication area, the relative position with UAV, and its eavesdroppers. In addition, it is observed that the D2D users or DUs' secure coverage probability is relevant to state of the UAV. The system's secure capacity can be substantially improved by adaptively changing the UAV's position as well as coverage.

In recent years, the cyber attack has become a universal phenomenon, and the attacks in cyberspace are regarded as a kind of war, cyber-warfare. However, cyber-warfare is difficult to identify the damage caused by the attack. In order to effectively evaluate the damage to the attack that may occur in the cyber-warfare, this paper describes the damage evaluation simulation of the cyber-warfare based on DEVSim++, which can calculate the damage to the cyber attack using the MOCE (Measure of Cyber Effectiveness). Also, in order to help the commander in the cyber Command&Control phase, the number of victims by attack classification is expressed in the form of Venn diagram.

In this paper, we developed the tools enabling to manage the IoT systems owned by managers. Since equipment agents consists based on open-source block-chain framework, we can secure the invariance on data and furthermore can locate the resources by searching the AP connected to the equipments. Also the manager can trace the connecting details on equipments from their block-chain accounts. In addition, we work on the possibility of protecting ARP poisoning attacks by removing the credibility on additional ARP requests being generated during the process of network creation.

Service and users over the Internet are increasing rapidly. Cyber attacks are also increasing. As a result, information leakage and financial damage are occurring. Government, public agencies, and companies are using security systems that use signature-based detection rules to respond to known malicious codes. However, it takes a long time to generate and validate signature-based detection rules. In this paper, we propose and develop signature based detection rule generation and verification systems using the signature extraction scheme developed based on the LDA(latent Dirichlet allocation) algorithm and the traffic analysis technique. Experimental results show that detection rules are generated and verified much more quickly than before.

Considering the topology of hierarchical tree structure, each cluster in WSNs is faced with various attacks launched by malicious nodes, which include network eavesdropping, channel interference and data tampering. The existing intrusion detection algorithm does not take into consideration the resource constraints of cluster heads and sensor nodes. Due to application requirements, sensor nodes in WSNs are deployed with approximately uncorrelated security weights. In our study, a novel and versatile intrusion detection system (IDS) for the optimal defense strategy is primarily introduced. Given the flexibility that wireless communication provides, it is unreasonable to expect malicious nodes will demonstrate a fixed behavior over time. Instead, malicious nodes can dynamically update the attack strategy in response to the IDS in each game stage. Thus, a multi-stage intrusion detection game (MIDG) based on Bayesian rules is proposed. In order to formulate the solution of MIDG, an in-depth analysis on the Bayesian equilibrium is performed iteratively. Depending on the MIDG theoretical analysis, the optimal behaviors of rational attackers and defenders are derived and calculated accurately. The numerical experimental results validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed scheme.

The riles or intellectual property on computer systems have increasingly been exposed to such threats that they can be flowed out by internal users or outer attacks through the network. The File Outflow Monitoring System monitors file outflows at server by making the toe when users copy files on client computers into storage devices or print them, The monitoring system filters I/O Request packet by I/O Manager in kernel level if files are flowed out by copying, while it uses Win32 API hooking if printed. As a result, it has exactly made the log and monitored file outflows, which is proved through testing in Windows 2000 and XP.

MIPv4 supports node mobility, manages MN's binding list and provides seamless communication through registration protocol. Since the registration protocol usually operating in the wireless environment involves authenticating MNs, it is a general approach to introduce the AAA infrastructure as key distribution center for the purpose of authentication. In this paper, we propose an efficient registration protocol with lightweight AAA based on domain key. Proposed protocol also withstands various replay attacks, and provides non-repudiation service for the accounts of the usage of the network service.

It is very important to detect and remove original sources of various attacks through networks. One of the effective method to detect the sources is traceback systems. In this paper, we design and implement an agent-based traceback system that does not require the reaction of routers and administrators and does not need numerous log data. In the design, we introduce a traceback server and traceback agents in each network Using sniffing and spoofing, the server transmits a packet with a specific message. The agents detect the packet and provide the information for the server to trace back the original source.

Previous binding update protocols for Mobile IPv6 repeats the same protocol each time a mobile node moves to a foreign link Moreover, mobile nodes repeats the same protocol whenever the lifetime of the current binding update expires. To improve the efficiency of binding updates, we Propose a ticket-based binding update protocol for MIPv6. Our protocol minimizes the binding update cost using a ticket issued by the corresponding node. We have analyzed our protocol security against the security requirements of MIPv6 and existing attacks. Furthermore, we have also compared our protocol against previous binding update protocols.
