Voice phishing is a cyber crime in which fake financial institutions, the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the National Police Agency are impersonated to find out an individual's Certification number and credit card number or withdraw a deposit. Recently, voice phishing has been carried out in a subtle and secret way. Analyzing the trend of voice phishing that occurred in '18~'21, it was found that there is a seasonality that occurs rapidly at a time when the movement of money is intensifying in the trend of voice phishing, giving ambiguity to time series analysis. In this research, we adjusted seasonality using the X-12 seasonality adjustment methodology for accurate prediction of voice phishing occurrence trends, and predicted the occurrence of voice phishing in 2022 using the ARIMA model.

The numerous improved schemes of user authentication based on password have been proposed in order to prevent the data access from the unauthorized person. The importance of user authentication has been remarkably growing in the expanding application areas of wireless sensor networks. Recently, emerging wireless sensor networks possesses a hierarchy among the nodes which are divided into cluster heads and sensor nodes. Such hierarchical wireless sensor networks have more operational advantages by reducing the energy consumption and traffic load. In 2012, Das et al. proposed a user authentication scheme to be applicable for the hierarchical wireless sensor networks. Das et al. claimed that their scheme is effectively secure against the various security flaws. In this paper, author will prove that Das et al.'s scheme is still vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack, password guessing/change attack and does not support mutual authentication between the user and the cluster heads.

In this paper, a merged TEA block cipher processor which unifies Tiny Encryption Algorithm(TEA), extended Tiny Encryption Algorithm(XTEA) and corrected block TEA(XXTEA) is designed. After TEA cipher algorithm was first designed, XTEA and XXTEA cipher algorithms were designed to correct security weakness. Three types of cipher algorithm uses a 128-bit master key. The designed cipher processor can encrypt or decrypt 64-bit message block for TEA/XTEA and variable-length message blocks up to 256-bit for XXTEA. The maximum throughput for 64-bit message blocks is 137Mbps and that of 256-bit message blocks is 369Mbps. The merged TEA block cipher designed in this paper has a 16% gain on the area side compared to a lightweight LEA cipher. The cryptographic IP of this paper is applicable in security module of the mobile areas such as smart card, internet banking, and e-commerce.

Considering the results of the 3.20 Cyber Attack, leaks of personal information by card companies, and so on, convenience and efficiency cannot be guaranteed without security as a prerequisite. In addition, it is more likely that customers' interests seem to be interfered with in financial institutions than in any other industry. Therefore, when a security accident occurs, users may suffer mental damage and monetary loss, leading to class action, customer defection, loss of reputation, and falloff in international credibility, which all may have a significant effect on the business continuity of corporations. This study integrates the representative information security certification systems in order to improve the efficiency of information security management and demonstrate the necessity of information security management system certification for the financial sector. If the certification is needed, we would like to recommend the desirable development direction.

To provede public services through Internet, there are several prerequisites such as security issue resolutions for public area installation and hardware support for authorized signatures etc. in addition to web-based system development. A kiosk-based system is a right solution for public services provision through Internet because a kiosk has hardware features supporting authorized signatures and also it can be installed at public area through Internet without security exposure, meeting security guidelines of National Intelligence Service. The process to provide public services through a koisk is that a client requests a kind of public services selecting menu through the kiosk, then the system issues a civil service documents after taking authentification and payment process. To support those kinds o processes it is required to support electronic payment using SMART card in addition to cash payment and to apply government standard security guidelines to protect administrative and personal information. This kiosk-based Internet public service system support and meet those all requirements.

The purpose of this study is to provide implications for preventing insider information leakages in public agencies for national security. First, the study examined the definitions and current usage of information security systems of public agencies were examined. Second, web-service base information leaks and malware-base information leaks were discussed and three major credit card companies' personal information leakage cases were analyzed. Based on the analysis, four solutions were provided. First, information leakages can be protected by using web filtering solutions based on the user, which make possible to limit frequencies of malware exposures. Second, vaccine programs and vaccine management system should be implemented to prevent information leakages by malware. Third, limit the use of portable devices within local networks to prevent information leakages and vaccines programs for malware should be regularly used. Forth, to prevent information leakages by smartphone malwares, data encryption application should be used to encrypt important information.

Personal information leakage in financial corporations including three card corporations has occurred constantly this year. It is due to incomplete encryption system and negligent personal security. Solicitors are known as a cause of information leakage because they operate with leaked information. Information leakage can cause secondary damage with mental demage to person and result in a drop in reliability as well as an operating loss in financial corporations. Also because it can destroy a base of credit society, prevention of recurrence is badly needed. The government finally announced 'general measures for prevention of information leakage in the field of finance' with sanctions reinforcement and restriction to collect, possess, provide personal information as the main agenda. And a related law revision is going in the National Assembly. In this paper, effectiveness of government measures is weighed with the cause analysis of information leakage and countermeasure for prevention of information leakage is found.

The ubiquitous and autonomic computing environments is open and dynamic providing the universal wireless access through seamless integration of software and system architectures. The ubiquitous computing have to offer the user-centric pervasive services according to the wireless access. Therefore the roaming services with the predefined security associations among all of the mobile devices in various networks is especially complex and difficult. Furthermore, there has been little study of security coordination for realistic autonomic system capable of authenticating users with different kinds of user interfaces, efficient context modeling with user profiles on Smart Cards, and providing pervasive access service by setting roaming agreements with a variety of wireless network operators. This paper proposes a Roaming Coordinator-based security management framework that supports the capability of interoperator roaming with the pervasive security services among the push service based network domains. Compared to traditional mobile systems in which a Universal Subscriber Identity Module(USIM) is dedicated to one service domain only, our proposed system with Roaming Coordinator is more open, secure, and easy to update for security services throughout the different network domains such as public wireless local area networks(PWLANs), 3G cellular networks and wireless metropolitan area networks(WMANs).
