  • Although progress in information technology has made our life prosperous. But it accompanied a number of adverse effects in various aspects. Especially, internet according to the increasing requirements for privacy and security, IP concealment network technologies to ensure the anonymity are constantly being developed. IP concealment network technologies is aiding the user to bypass the blocked sites can be used to access for information gathering, and they could be used for a malicious hacker to hide his attacks. However, due to complex routing path, local communication bandwidth sangyiham, and internode encryption there are also disadvantages that communication speed is significantly less. In this paper, the research for improving the performance of anonymous networks is to proceed by the communication speed measurement that using GeoIP the particular country with high-bandwidth is Specified or path length is limited.

  • Recently, various medical services are provided with the advance of IT. However, there is a problem that a third party would exploit medical information when the information is sent and received through wired or wireless connection. In this paper, a patient information management scheme using group index information for the third party not to illegally exploit a patient's medical information without his consent is proposed. This proposed scheme creates index information in each hierarchical level to be used with access information so that not only medical staff can have access to patient's medical information hierarchically but also it can manage access level in groups. The scheme aims to enable the medical staff to minimize the time spent to analyze the type of disease and to prescribe for it so that they can improve patients' satisfaction. Plus, the scheme aims to improve work efficiency by minimizing the medical staff's workload according to the authority to access patients' medical information.

  • Although federated learning is designed to be safer than centralized methods in terms of security and privacy, it still has many vulnerabilities. An attacker performing an adversarial attack intentionally manipulates the deep learning model by injecting carefully crafted input data, that is, adversarial examples, into the client's training data to induce misclassification. A common defense strategy against this is so-called adversarial training, which involves preemptively learning the characteristics of adversarial examples into the model. Existing research assumes a scenario where all clients are under adversarial attack, but considering the number of clients in federated learning is very large, this is far from reality. In this paper, we experimentally examine aspects of adversarial training in a scenario where some of the clients are under attack. Through experiments, we found that there is a trade-off relationship in which the classification accuracy for normal samples decreases as the classification accuracy for adversarial examples increases. In order to effectively utilize this trade-off relationship, we present a method to perform adversarial training by adaptively selecting a loss function depending on whether the client is attacked.

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that are piloted without human pilots can be commanded remotely via frequencies or perform pre-inputted missions. UAVs have been mainly used for military purposes, but due to the development of ICT technology, they are now widely used in the private sector. Teal Group's 2014 World UAV Forecast predicts that the UAV market will grow by 10% annually over the next decade, reaching $ 12.5 billion by 2023. However, because UAVs are primarily remotely controlled, if a malicious user accesses a remotely controlled UAV, it could seriously infringe privacy and cause financial loss or even loss of life. To solve this problem, a secure channel must be established through mutual authentication between the UAV and the control center. However, existing security techniques require a lot of computing resources and power, and because communication distances, infrastructure, and data flow are different from UAV networks, it is unsuitable for application in UAV environments. To resolve this problem, the study presents a lightweight UAV authentication method based on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) that requires less computing resources in the ground Control and Non-Payload Communication (CNPC) environment, where recently, technology standardization is actively under progress.

  • Smartphone is a mobile device which can perform better than feature phone. Recently, growth in demand for advanced mobile devices boasting powerful performance, market share of smartphone is increasing rapidly in mobile device market, for example, iphone and android phone. Smartphone can provide many functionalities, e-mail, scheduler, word-processing, 3D-game, and etc, based on its powerful performance. Thus, various secret information is integrated in smartphone. To provide service, sometimes, smartphone transmits informations to outside via wireless network. Because smartphone is a mobile device, user can lose his/her smartphone, easily, and losing smartphone can cause serious security threats, because of integrated information in smartphone. Also data which is transmitted in wireless network can be protected for privacy. Thus, in present, it is very important to keep secure smartphone. In this paper, we analyze threats and vulnerabilities of smartphone based on its environments and describe countermeasures against threats and vulnerabilities.

  • Trusted Computing is a hardware-based technology that aims to guarantee security for machines beyond their users' control by providing security on computing hardware and software. TPM(Trusted Platform Module), the trusted platform specified by the Trusted Computing Group, acts as the roots for the trusted data storage and the trusted reporting of platform configuration. Data sealing encrypts secret data with a key and the platform's configuration at the time of encryption. In contrast to the traditional data sealing based on binary hash values of the platform configuration, a new approach called property-based data sealing was recently suggested. In this paper, we propose and analyze a new property-based data sealing protocol using the weakest precondition concept by Dijkstra. The proposed protocol resolves the problem of system updates by allowing sealed data to be unsealed at any configuration providing the required property. It assumes practically implementable trusted third parties only and protects platform's privacy when communicating. We demonstrate the proposed protocol's operability with any TPM chip by implementing and running the protocol on a software TPM emulator by Strasser. The proposed scheme can be deployed in PDAs and smart phones over wireless mobile networks as well as desktop PCs.

  • Personalized App recommendation system is recently famous since the number of various apps that can be used in smart phones that increases exponentially. However, the site users using google play site with malwares have experienced severe damages of privacy exposure and extortion as well as a simple damage of satisfaction descent at the same time. In addition, Sybil attack (Sybil) manipulating the score (rating) of each app with falmay also present because of the social networks development. Up until now, the sybil detection studies and malicious apps studies have been conducted independently. But it is important to determine finally the existence of intelligent attack with Sybil and malware simultaneously when we consider the intelligent attack types in real-time. Therefore, in this paper we experimentally evaluate the relationship between malware and sybils based on real cralwed dataset of goodlplay. Through the extensive evaluations, the correlation between malware and sybils is low for malware providers to hide themselves from Anti-Virus (AV).

  • In broadcasts such as news and coverage programs, voice is modulated to protect the identity of the informant. Adjusting the pitch is commonly used voice modulation method, which allows easy voice restoration to the original voice by adjusting the pitch. Therefore, since broadcast voice modulation methods cannot properly protect the identity of the speaker and are vulnerable to security, a new voice modulation method is needed to replace them. In this paper, using the Lightweight speech de-identification model as the evaluation target model, we compare speech de-identification performance with broadcast voice modulation method using pitch modulation. Among the six modulation methods in the Lightweight speech de-identification model, we experimented on the de-identification performance of Korean speech as a human test and EER(Equal Error Rate) test compared with broadcast voice modulation using three modulation methods: McAdams, Resampling, and Vocal Tract Length Normalization(VTLN). Experimental results show VTLN modulation methods performed higher de-identification performance in both human tests and EER tests. As a result, the modulation methods of the Lightweight model for Korean speech has sufficient de-identification performance and will be able to replace the security-weak broadcast voice modulation.

  • To comprehend the importance and necessity of record management metadata standard implemented in an electronic medical records system, a survey was undertaken to 50 medical records managers in charge of 5 major hospitals in Seoul. Analysis of the survey results was performed by averaging the responses given by those who answered the survey. SPSS was utilized for statistical analysis. Managers of medical records placed importance on metadata that are related to security of records, such as "levels of security", "types of access to medical records", "levels of authorization granted to personnel", and "users accessing medical records". It shows that these managers need the functions of privacy protection in ERMS. Metadata on "external disclosure" had the lowest level but those surveyed with more than 7 years of experience placed greater importance in this area more those surveyed with less than 7 years of experience in a hospital. This shows that managers need the functions of external disclosure to meet the needs of third partiesfor medical research and medical education.
