An URL parameter can hold some information that is confidential or vulnerable to illegitimate tampering. We propose Link-E-Param(Link with Encrypted Parameters) to protect the whole URL parameter names as well as their values. Unlike other techniques concealing only some of the URL parameters, it will successfully discourage attacks based on URL analysis to steal secret information on the Web sites. We implement Link-E-Param in the form of a servlet filter to be deployed on any Java Web server by simply copying a jar file and setting a few configuration values. Thus it can be used for any existing Web application without modifying the application. It also supports numerous encryption algorithms to choose from. Experiments show that our implementation induces only 2~3% increase in user response time due to encryption and decryption, which is deemed acceptable.

Spring framework is widely used as a base technology for e-government frameworks and to the extent it is a standard for web service development tools of Korean public institutions. However, recently, a remote code execution vulnerability(CVE-2018-1270) was found in an application using a spring framework. This paper proposes a method of analyzing the vulnerability experiment using a hacking scenario, Proof Of Concept(POC), in which the spring framework is a hazard to the server. We propose the patch to version 4.3.16 and version 5.0.5 or later as an ultimate response. It is also expected that the proposed experiment analysis on vulnerability of hacking scenario will be used as a data for improving performance of security programs and establishing a new authentication system.

In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been widely used in various industries. However, as the depend ence on UAV increases rapidly, concerns about the security and safety of UAV are growing. Currently, various vulnerabili ties such as stealing the control right of the UAV or the right to communicate with the UAV in the web application are being disclosed. However, there is a lack of research related to the security of UAV. Therefore, in this paper, a study was conducted to determine whether the packet data was normal or abnormal by collecting packet data of an unmanned aerial vehicle in a HITL(Hardware In The Loop) simulation environment similar to the real environment. In addition, this paper proposes a method for reducing computational cost in the modeling process and increasing the ease of data interpretation, a machine learning-based anomaly detection model that detects abnormal data by learning only normal data, and optimized hyperparameter values.

This paper presents a web-based virtual educational system for Java language, which consists of a management system named Java Web Player (JWP) and creative multimedia contents for the lectures of Java language. The JWP is a Java application program free from security problems by the Java Web Start technologies that supports an integrated learning environment including three important learning procedures: Java concept learning process, programming practice process and assessment process. On-line voice presentation and its related texts together with moving images are synchronized for efficiently conveying creative contents to learners. Furthermore, a simple and useful compiler is included in the JWP for providing user-friendly language practice environment enabling such as coding, editing, executing, and debugging Java source files on the Web. Finally, simple multiple choices are given suddenly to the learners while they are studying through the JWP and the test results are displayed on the message box. In order to show the validity of the proposed virtual educational system we analysed and assessed the learners' academic performance on the five quizzes for one semester.

The rapid development of mobile technology has increased the use of mobile devices, and the possibility of security incidents is also increasing. The leakage of information through photos is the most representative. Previous methods for preventing this are disadvantageous in that they can not take pictures for other purposes. In this paper, we design and implement a system to prevent information leakage through photos using object recognition and beacon. The system inspects pictures through object recognition based on deep learning and verifies whether security policies are violated. In addition, the location of the mobile device is identified through the beacon and the appropriate rules are applied. Web applications for administrator allow you to set rules for taking photos by location. As soon as a user takes a photo, they apply appropriate rules to the location to automatically detect photos that do not conform to security policies.

Cross Site Scripting enables hackers to steal other user's information (such as cookie, session etc.) or to do abnormal functions automatically using vulnerability of web application. This attack patterns of Cross Site Scripting(XSS) can be divided into two types. One is Reflect XSS which can be executed in one request for HTTP and its reply, and the other is Stored XSS which attacks those many victim users whoever access to the page which accepted the payload transmitted. To correspond to these XSS attacks, some measures have been suggested. They are data validation for user input, output validation during HTML encoding procedures, and removal of possible risk injection point to prevent from trying to insert malicious code into web application. In this paper, the methods and procedures for these two types are explained and a penetration testing is done. With these suggestions, the attack by XSS could be understood and prepared by its countermeasures.

As IoT equipment is commercialized, Bluetooth or wireless networks will be built into general living devices such as IP cameras, door locks, cars and TVs. Security for IoT equipment is becoming more important because IoT equipment shares a lot of information through the network and collects personal information and operates the system. In addition, web-based attacks and application attacks currently account for a significant portion of cyber threats, and security experts are analyzing the vulnerabilities of cyber attacks through manual analysis to secure them. However, since it is virtually impossible to analyze vulnerabilities with only manual analysis, researchers studying system security are currently working on automated vulnerability detection systems, and Firm-AFL, published recently in USENIX, proposed a system by conducting a study on fuzzing processing speed and efficiency using a coverage-based fuzzer. However, the existing tools were focused on the fuzzing processing speed of the firmware, and as a result, they did not find any vulnerability in various paths. In this paper, we propose IoTFirmFuzz, which finds more paths, resolves constraints, and discovers more crashes by strengthening the mutation process to find vulnerabilities in various paths not found in existing tools.

IoT devices refer to embedded devices that can communicate with networks. Since there are various types of IoT devices and they are widely used around us, in the event of an attack, damages such as personal information leakage can occur depending on the type of device. While the security team analyzes IoT devices, they should target firmware as well as software interfaces since IoT devices are operated by both of them. However, the problem is that it is not easy to extract and analyze firmware and that it is not easy to manage product quality at a certain level even if the same target is analyzed according to the analyst's expertise within the security team. Therefore, in this paper, we intend to establish a vulnerability analysis process for the firmware of IoT devices and present available tools for each step. Besides, we organized the process from firmware acquisition to analysis of IoT devices produced by various commercial manufacturers, and we wanted to prove their validity by applying it directly to drone analysis by various manufacturers.
