  • As increasing the network bandwidth, the threat of a network also increases with emerging various new services. For a high-performance network security, It is generally used that high-speed packet classification methods which employ hardware like TCAM. There needs an method using these devices efficiently because they are expensive and their capacity is not sufficient. In this paper, we propose an efficient packet classification using a Ternary-CAM(TCAM) which is widely used device for high-speed packet classification in which we have applied Snort rule set for the well-known intrusion detection system. In order to save the size of an expensive TCAM, we have eliminated duplicated IP addresses and port numbers in the rule according to the partitioning of a table in the TCAM, and we have represented negation and range rules with reduced TCAM size. We also keep advantages of low TCAM capacity consumption and reduce the number of TCAM lookups by decreasing the TCAM partitioning using combining port numbers. According to simulation results on our TCAM partitioning, the size of a TCAM can be reduced by upto 98$\%$ and the performance does not degrade significantly for high-speed packet classification with a large amount of rules.

  • Recently network based attack technologies are rapidly advanced and intelligent, the limitations of existing signature-based intrusion detection systems are becoming clear. The reason is that signature-based detection methods lack generalization capabilities for new attacks such as APT attacks. To solve these problems, research on machine learning-based intrusion detection systems is being actively conducted. However, in the actual network environment, attack samples are collected very little compared to normal samples, resulting in class imbalance problems. When a supervised learning-based anomaly detection model is trained with such data, the result is biased to the normal sample. In this paper, we propose to overcome this imbalance problem through One-Class Anomaly Detection using an auto encoder. The experiment was conducted through the NSL-KDD data set and compares the performance with the supervised learning models for the performance evaluation of the proposed method.

  • The Energy Management System (EMS) communicates with power plants and substations, monitors the substations and plant operational status of the transmission and substation system for stability, continuity, real-time, and economy of power supply, and controls power plants and substations. Currently, the power exchange EMS communicates with power plants and substations based on the serial communication-based Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) 3.0 protocol. However, problems such as the difficulty of supply and demand of serial communication equipment and the lack of installation space for serial ports and modems are raised due to the continuous increase in new facilities to perform communication, including renewable power generation facilities. Therefore, this paper presents a TCP/IP-based communication method instead of the existing serial communication method of the power exchange EMS, and presents a security risk analysis that may occur due to changes in the communication method and a countermeasure to the security risk.

  • Over the past few years, IoT edges have begun to emerge based on new low-latency communication protocols such as 5G. However, IoT edges, despite their enormous advantages, pose new complementary threats, requiring new security solutions to address them. In this paper, we propose a cloud environment-based IoT edge architecture model that complements IoT systems. The proposed model acts on machine learning to prevent security threats in advance with network traffic data extracted from IoT edge devices. In addition, the proposed model ensures load and security in the access network (edge) by allocating some of the security data at the local node. The proposed model further reduces the load on the access network (edge) and secures the vulnerable part by allocating some functions of data processing and management to the local node among IoT edge environments. The proposed model virtualizes various IoT functions as a name service, and deploys hardware functions and sufficient computational resources to local nodes as needed.

  • The NH-NongHyup network and servers were paralyzed in 2011, in the 2013 3.20 cyber attack happened and classified documents of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. Ltd were leaked on december in 2015. All of them were conducted by a foreign country. These attacks were planned for a long time compared to the script kids attacks and the techniques used were very complex and sophisticated. However, no successful solution has been implemented to defend an APT attacks(Advanced Persistent Threat Attacks) thus far. We will use big data analytics to analyze whether or not APT attacks has occurred. This research is based on the data collected through ISAC monitoring among 3 hierarchical Korean Defense System. First, we will introduce related research about big data analytics and machine learning. Then, we design two big data analytics models to detect an APT attacks. Lastly, we will present an effective response method to address a detected APT attacks.

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have mostly been used for military purposes but with the progress in ICT and reduced manufacturing costs, they are increasingly used for various private services. UAVs are expected to carry out autonomous flying in the future. In order to carry out complex tasks, swarm flights are essential. Although the swarm flights has been researched a lot due to its different network and infrastructure from the existing UAV system, There are still not enough study on security threats and requirements for the secure swarm flights. In this paper, to solve these problems, UAV autonomous flight technology is defined based on US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), and swarm flights and security threat about it are classified. And then we defined and compared security requirements according to security threats of each swarm flights so as to contribute to the development of secure UAC swarm flights in the future.

  • Recently, security researches have been processed on the method to cover a broader range of hacking attacks at the low level in the perspective of hardware. This system security applies not only to individuals' computer systems but also to cloud environments. "Cloud" concerns operations on the web. Therefore it is exposed to a lot of risks and the security of its spaces where data is stored is vulnerable. Accordingly, in order to reduce threat factors to security, the TCG proposed a highly reliable platform based on a semiconductor-chip, the TPM. However, there have been no technologies up to date that enables a real-time visual monitoring of the security status of a PC that is operated based on the TPM. And the TPB has provided the function in a visual method to monitor system status and resources only for the system behavior of a single host. Therefore, this paper will propose a m-TMS (Mobile Trusted Monitoring System) that monitors the trusted state of a computing environment in which a TPM chip-based TPB is mounted and the current status of its system resources in a mobile device environment resulting from the development of network service technology. The m-TMS is provided to users so that system resources of CPU, RAM, and process, which are the monitoring objects in a computer system, may be monitored. Moreover, converting and detouring single entities like a PC or target addresses, which are attack pattern methods that pose a threat to the computer system security, are combined. The branch instruction trace function is monitored using a BiT Profiling tool through which processes attacked or those suspected of being attacked may be traced, thereby enabling users to actively respond.

  • Global cyber threats to industrial control systems are increasing. As a result, related research and cooperation are actively underway. However, we are focusing on strengthening security for physical network separation and perimeter. Internal threats are still vulnerable. This is because the easiest and strongest countermeasure is to enhance border security, and solutions for enhancing internal security are not easy to apply due to system availability problems. In particular, there are many vulnerabilities due to the large number of legacy systems remaining throughout industrial control systems. Unless these vulnerable systems are newly built according to the security framework, it is necessary to respond to these vulnerable systems, and therefore, a security solution considering availability has been verified and suggested. Using Sysmon and ELK, security solutions can detect Cyber-threat that are difficult to detect in unstructured ICS.
