In a smart home environment that integrates IoT technology into a residential environment, the smart home hub provides convenience functions to users by connecting various IoT devices to the network. The smart home hub plays a role as a gateway to and from various data in the process of connecting and using IoT devices. This data can be abused as personal information because it is closely related to the living environment of the user. Such abuse of personal information may cause damage such as exposure of the user's identity. Therefore, this thesis analyzed the threat by using LINDDUN, which is a threat modeling technique for personal information protection which was not used in domestic for Smart Home Hub. We present evaluation criteria for smart home hubs using the Common Criteria, which is an international standard, against threats analyzed and corresponding security requirements.

Recently, Interests on The Fourth Industrial Revolution has been increased. In the manufacturing sector, the introduction of Smart Factory, which automates and intelligent all stages of manufacturing based on Cyber Physical System (CPS) technology, is spreading. The complexity and uncertainty of smart factories are likely to cause unexpected problems, which can lead to manufacturing process interruptions, malfunctions, and leakage of important information to the enterprise. It is emphasized that there is a need to perform systematic management by analyzing the threats to the Smart Factory. Therefore, this paper systematically identifies the threats using the STRIDE threat modeling technique using the data flow diagram of the overall production process procedure of Smart Factory. Then, using the Attack Tree, we analyze the risks and ultimately derive a checklist. The checklist provides quantitative data that can be used for future safety verification and security guideline production of Smart Factory.

With the development of cloud computing technology, container technology that provides services based on a virtual environment is also developing. Container orchestration technology is a key element for cloud services, and it has become an important core technology for building, deploying, and testing large-scale containers with automation. Originally designed by Google and now managed by the Linux Foundation, Kubernetes is one of the container orchestrations and has become the de facto standard. However, despite the increasing use of Kubernetes in container orchestration, the number of incidents due to security vulnerabilities is also increasing. Therefore, in this paper, we study the vulnerabilities of Kubernetes and propose a security policy that can consider security from the initial development or design stage through threat analysis. In particular, we intend to present a specific security guide by classifying security threats by applying STRIDE threat modeling.

Since the passing of the Personal Information Act in March 2011 and its initial introduction in September, over the one year to date diverse security devices and solutions have been flowing into the market to enable observance of the relevant laws. Beginning with security consulting, corporations and institutions have focused on technology-based business in order to enable observance of those laws competitively in accordance with 6-step key procedures including proposal, materialization, introduction, construction, implementation, and execution. However there has not been any investment in human resources in the field of education such as technology education and policy education relative to the most important human resources field nor investment in professionals in the organization for the protection of personal information or in human resources for operating and managing IT infrastructure for actual entire personal information such as special sub-organizations. In this situation, as one process of attracting change from the nature of the technology-based security market toward a professional human resource-based security infrastructure market, it is necessary to conduct research into standardization modeling concerning special organizational composition and a management system for the protection of personal information.

As new Information technology such as IoT develops rapidly, a lot of changes are occurred in our lives. The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects or things embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices. This change is also applied to tourism industry. These days many people make a tour reservation using the internet. But it is required to consider the efficiency and security of tour reservation system. In this paper, we suggest a tour reservation system. First, we describe the computer reservation system, hotel reservation system and reservation system. Second, we perform the modeling of general reservation system and suggested reservation system. Third, performance evaluation is carried out with respect to efficiency and security. The results show that the suggested reservation system has a better performance than a general reservation system. At last we described the results and future works.

Virtual private network (VPN) services are used in various environments related to national security, such as defense companies and defense-related institutions where digital communication environment technologies are diversified and access to network use is increasing. However, the number of cyber attacks that target vulnerable points of the VPN has annually increased through technological advancement. Thus, this study identified security requirements by performing STRIDE threat modeling to prevent potential and new vulnerable points that can occur in the VPN. STRIDE threat modeling classifies threats into six categories to systematically identify threats. To apply the proposed security requirements, this study analyzed functions of the VPN and formed a data flow diagram in the VPN service process. Then, it collected threats that can take place in the VPN and analyzed the STRIDE threat model based on data of the collected threats. The data flow diagram in the VPN service process, which was established by this study, included 96 STRIDE threats. This study formed a threat scenario to analyze attack routes of the classified threats and derived 30 security requirements for each element of the VPN based on the formed scenario. This study has significance in that it presented a security guideline for enhancing security stability of the VPN used in facilities that require high-level security, such as the Ministry of National Defense (MND).

A common language for modeling software requirements and design in recent years is Unified Modeling Language (UML). Essential principles and rules are provided by UML to help visualize and comprehend complex software systems. It has therefore been incorporated into the curriculum for software engineering courses at several institutions all around the world. However, it is commonly recognized that UML is challenging for beginners to understand, mostly owing to its complexity and ill-defined nature. It is unavoidable that we need to comprehend their preferences and issues considerably better than we do presently to approach the problem of teaching UML to beginner students in an acceptable manner. This paper offers a hint-based approach that can be implemented along with an ordinary lab task. Some keywords are highlighted to indicate class diagram components and make students understand the textual descriptions. The experimental results indicate significant improvement in students' learning skills. Furthermore, the majority of students also positively responded to the survey conducted in the end experimental study.
