  • For improve level of information security, the necessity of evaluation and certification of Information Security System(ISS) in increasing. Evalustion and Certification Institute have evaluated ISS for risk prevention of information dysfunction in an advanced countries. But, the problem of the time and cost occurred when it is caused by with application of unlike evaluation criteria each other. The result of effort to solution, Common Criteria(CC) and Common Evaluation Methodology(CEM) is using for evaluation of ISS and mutual recognition. Evaluation participant is needed flexible and active interpretation of CC and CEM for an efficient evaluation preparation and performance.

  • A Protection Profile(PP) is a common security and assurance requirements for a specific class of Information Technology security products such as firewall and smart card. A PP should be included "TOE(Target of Evaluation) Security Environment", which is consisted of subsections: assumptions, treat, organizational security policies. This paper presents a new threats statement generation method for developing TOE security environment section of PP. Our survey guides the statement of threats in CC(Common Criteria) scheme through collected and analysed hundred of threat statements from certified and published real PPs and CC Tool Box/PKB that is included a class of pre-defined threat and attack statements. From the result of the survey, we present a new asset classification method and propose a threats statement generation model. The former is a new asset classification method, and the later is a production rule for a well formed statement of threats.

  • The recent "Log4j Security Vulnerability Incident" has occurred, and the information system that uses the open source "Log4J" has been exposed to vulnerabilities. The incident brought great vulnerabilities in the information systems of South Korea's major government agencies or companies and global information systems, causing problems with open source vulnerabilities. Despite the advantages of many advantages, the current development paradigm, which is developed using open source, can easily spread software security vulnerabilities, ensuring open source safety and reliability. You need to check the open source. However, open source vulnerability scan tools have various languages and functions. Therefore, the existing software evaluation criteria are ambiguous and it is difficult to evaluate advantages and weaknesses, so this paper has developed a new evaluation criteria for the vulnerability analysis tools of open source

  • In the recent IT industry, security has established itself as the factor to be considered the most in the software development. It goes without saying that security is the critical factor for the development of information security products. In the evaluation of the information security products, the security is assured by the security architecture requirement (ADV_ARC). However, the Absence of the systematic software security architecture process makes it difficult to guarantee the security quality consistently even though they are evaluated based on common criteria. In this paper, we propose a way to ensure a consistent security quality applying the software security framework in BSIMM.

  • In general, the evaluation of water supply capacity is important factor to establish various establishment of water resource supply plan include water resource security and determination of dam's mass. But former researchs about estimation of water supply capacity were lack in continunity of evaluation basis, and didn't excute analysis on reliability criteria also. In this study, Nakdong river was selected for study basin, and then water supply capacity was analyzed by HEC-5 model using identical reliability criteria.

  • As a formal document that expresses a set of security requirements for IT products that meets specific consumer needs in the ISO/IEC 15408(CC, Common Criteria) evaluation, protection profiles are developing by many national agencies and companies recently. Since a protection profile is a criteria for security evaluation when the IT systems and products are introduced, the importance of the protection profile is increasing. However, developing protection profiles are still difficult due to lack of detailed methodology and guidance to analyze security environments or to derive security requirements. In this paper, we analyze foreign instances of developing protection profiles and propose a methodology for deriving security requirements through analyzing the TOE security environment.

  • Recently, public and national institutions establish secure system with installed and operational by IT products for security. They required the Common Criteria for assurance of IT products. However, many company hard to decide when IT products release and develop investment because of cost and spend-time problem. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze domestic and international IT products evaluation services, and proposes simplification IT products evaluation service compared with previous services.

  • As the functions and technology of IT security solution has been diversified and complicated, it is necessary to make the functions standardized. The common criteria (CC) evaluation and certification scheme was introduced with this background in 2000. For over 10 years after the introduction of CC evaluation and certification scheme, many security solution vendors have developed functions following the security functional requirement in CC. Most of CC evaluators and developers think that CC has helped to enhance the security of the solution. So, it is a right time to prove the affirmative effects of CC in quantity. In this research, we compare two cases, the security status of the solution before and after the experience of CC evaluation, and analyze the results. We made the questionnaire for the domestic solutions vendors. We show that CC has made positive effects on the security of the solution quantitatively using statistical analysis. This research is meaningful security enhancement of domestic security solutions.

  • Digital Printers that are mainly used in enterprises and public institutions are compound machinery and tools which are combined into various functions such as printing, copying, scanning, and fax so on. Digital Printers has security functionality for protecting the important data related with confidential industry technology from leaking. According to the trends, CC(Common Criteria) evaluation and assurance about digital printer is on progress in Japan and USA. Domestically CC evaluation and assurance is started recently. However, the know-how about the digital printer evaluation is not enough and the developers and the evaluators have difficulty in CC evaluation of digital printer products in the country. Therefore, the testing method of digital printer security functionality and evaluation technology is essentially needed for increasing demand for the evaluation afterwards. In this study, we analyze the security functionality and developing trends of digital printer products from internal and external major digital printer companies. Moreover, we research the characters of each security functions and propose guideline for digital printer security functionality evaluation and vulnerability testing methods.

  • Security in embedded devices has become a significant issue. Threats on the sup-ply chain, like using counterfeit components or inserting backdoors intentionally are one of the most significant issues in embedded devices security. To mitigate these threats, high-level security evaluation and certification more than EAL (Evaluation Assurance Level) 5 on CC (Common Criteria) are necessary on hardware components, especially on the cryptographic module such as AES. High-level security evaluation and certification require detecting covert channel such as backdoors on the cryptographic module. However, previous studies have a limitation that they cannot detect some kinds of backdoors which leak the in-formation recovering a secret key on the cryptographic module. In this paper, we present an expanded definition of backdoor on hardware AES module and show how to detect the backdoor which is never detected in Verilog HDL using model checker NuSMV.
