One of the causes of many damage cases that occur today by hacking attack is social engineering attack. The attacker is usually a malicious traitor or an ignorant insider. As a solution, we are strengthening security training for all employees in the organization. Nevertheless, there are frequent situations in which computers are shared. In this case, the person in charge of the computer has difficulty in tracking and responding when a specific representative accessed and what a specific representative did. In this paper, we propose the method that the person in charge of the computer tracks in real time through the smartphone when a representative access the computer, when a representative access offline using hacked or shared authentication. Also, we propose a method to prevent the leakage of important information by encrypting and backing up important files of the PC through the smartphone in case of abnormal access.

In this paper, we analyze weaknesses of the biometrics-based user authentication scheme proposed by An. The result of analysis An's authentication scheme by the login success scenario proposed in this paper, if the attacker successes to get user's random number, he/she can pass user authentication phase of the legal server. Also the biometrics guessing scenario proposed in this paper shows the legal user's the biometric information is revealed in lost smart card. Since An's authentication scheme submit user ID and biometrics in plain text to the server, it is very vulnerable to inner attack and it is not provide the user anonymity to the server as well as the one to the third by user ID in plain text. Besides An's authentication scheme is contextual error too, due to this, it has weakness and so on that it did not check the validity of the smart card holder.

Most of the single server model of cloud computing services have problems that are hard to solve, such as a service availability, insider attack, and vendor lock-in, etc. To solve these problems, the research about multicloud has emerged. Multicloud model can supplement previous cloud model's weakness and provides new services to user. In this paper, we focus on a user authentication problem in multicloud model and propose a scheme to resolve it. We define a cloud broker-based multicloud model. And we propose an authentication protocol that is applicable at presented model. The proposed scheme can provide service transparency to user and prevent an impersonation attack by service provider.

Recently, remote user authentication scheme protecting user anonymity using smart card has been researched with interest increasing on user privacy. Although authentication scheme providing user anonymity using smart card had been proposed by Das et al, Chien et al. pointed out Das et al. scheme fail to provide user anonymity and proposed new scheme to overcome the problem. A remote system Kim et al. proposed a scheme which is traceable about malicious user with protecting user anonymity. In this paper, we point out that Kim et a1. scheme fail to provide user anonymity and propose a scheme for some problems Kim et al. scheme has. And then we analysis our scheme on cryptophic security and efficiency with Kim scheme.

Internet messenger applications are utilized not only by individuals but also in corporate environments since it provides many convenient functions such as email, chatting and SMS services. However convenient they may be, current messenger applications have revealed a great deal of security problems. For instance, the existing Nate-on messenger is exposed to internal threats since it stores sensitive information in the database of its server and transmits communication data through the network without any safety measures intact. In order to solve such problematic issues of existing messenger applications, we propose the following protocol.

Since existing Nate-on Messenger application stores users' personal information in the database of its server, it is extremely venerable to internal threats, not to mention the communication data being transmitted without any safety measures. To solve such problematic areas of the existing application, we have developed a safer messenger application. The messenger application proposed in this paper discloses only the least required personal information of its users and the rest of the personal information is safely encrypted in the database using private passwords. This protective measure prevents the administrator or a third party from misusing the information since he/she will not be able access the information. In addition, users will be able to freely and safely communicate using this new messenger since transmitted data will also be encrypted.

With the advent of BCI technology in recent years, various BCI products have been released. BCI technology enables brain information to be transmitted directly to a computer, and it will bring a lot of convenience to life. However, there is a problem with information protection. In particular, EEG data can raise issues about personal privacy. Collecting and analyzing big data on EEG reports raises serious concerns about personal information exposure. In this paper, we propose a secure privacy-preserving BCI model in a big data environment. The proposed model could prevent personal identification and protect EEG data in the cloud environment.

IT기술의 변화에 따라 금융기관의 정보보호 또한 안정성을 보장하면서도 새로운 비즈니스모델에 적합한 보안대책이 요구되고 있다. 금융 어플리케이션의 보안은 정보의 기밀성, 무결성, 가용성을 만족하는 안전하고 신뢰할 수 있는 시스템과 네트워크, 그리고 보안사고에 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 내부 사용자에 대한 적절한 권한 부여와 접근통제가 요구되어진다. 정당한 사용자가 접근하여 발생하는 보안 문제, 즉 내부자에 의한 악의적인 행위나 오용, 실수 등에 의한 기업의 피해는 외부자에 의한 의도적인 공격보다 피해 규모가 크다. 따라서 정당한 사용자로 인증을 받았다고 할지라도 업무처리에 있어서 필요한 최소한의 권한만을 부여하는 것이 필요한 것이다. 이를 위해 금융기관에 적합한 접근통제가 필요하다. 역할기반 접근통제는 적용범위가 제한적인 강제적 접근통제와 분산된 보안관리로 중앙에서 통제가 어려운 자율적 접근통제의 단점을 보완하고, 실제 업무처리에 적합한 특성을 갖는다. 하지만 기존 역할기반 접근통제를 금융기관의 다양한 금융 어플리케이션에 적용하면 다음과 같은 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 첫째, 금융 어플리케이션에서 사용되는 역할 추출 및 관리가 어렵다. 둘째, 다양한 비즈니스모델이 원하는 직무분리가 복잡하고 어렵다. 셋째, 악의적인 내부 사용자가 역할을 변조하여 과도한 권한을 가질 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 역할기반 접근통제에 인사정보 연동을 통한 효율적인 역할 추출 및 분류방안과 역할관리, 직무분리의 세분화 그리고 역할의 안전한 관리를 위해 X.509기반의 권한관리 기반구조(PMI)를 이용한 권한관리 기술을 금융 어플리케이션 환경에 효율적으로 적용하는 방안을 제시한다.

Recently, there are many researches on sharing group session key for members in a group. Among them, Harn and Lin proposed a scheme based on the Shamir's group session key and Liu, Cheng, Cao, and Jiang improved it to reduce the specific weakness. Especially, these schemes are based on the finite integer ring to protest the insider attack, in which a valid member can derived another member's secret using known information. In this paper, it is shown that the finite integer ring implies the failure of the reconstruction of group session key depending on the adopted parameters. We fix this problem and propose new group session key transfer scheme using the Shamir's secret sharing.

Recently internal information leakage in industries is severely increasing in spite of industry security policy. Thus, it is essential to prepare an information leakage prevention measure by industries. Most of the leaks result from the insiders, not from external attacks. In this paper, a real-time internal information leakage prevention system via both storage and network is implemented in order to protect confidential file leakage. In addition, a Hadoop-based user behavior analysis and statistics system is designed and implemented for storing and analyzing information log data in industries. The proposed system stores a large volume of data in HDFS and improves data processing capability using RHive, consequently helps the administrator recognize and prepare the confidential file leak trials. The implemented audit system would be contributed to reducing the damage caused by leakage of confidential files inside of the industries via both portable data media and networks.
