The methods for detecting copy move frogery (CMF) are divided into two categories, block-based methods and keypoint-based methods. Block-based methods have a high computational cost because a large number of blocks should be examined for CMF detection. In addition, the forgery detection may fail if a tampered region undergoes geometric transformation. On the contrary, keypoint-based methods can overcome the disadvantages of the block-based approach, but it can not detect a tampered region if the CMF forgery occurs in the low entropy region of the image. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to detect CMF forgery in all areas of image by combining keypoint-based and block-based methods. The proposed method first performs keypoint-based CMF detection on the entire image. Then, the areas for which the forgery check is not performed are selected and the block-based CMF detection is performed for them. Therefore, the proposed CMF detection method makes it possible to detect CMF forgery occurring in all areas of the image. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better forgery detection performance than conventional methods.

Digital image forgery detection is one of very important fields in the field of digital forensics. As the forged images change naturally through the advancement of technology, it has made it difficult to detect forged images. In this paper, we use passive forgery detection for copy paste forgery in digital images. In addition, it detects copy-paste forgery using the L₀ Norm-based LE operator, and compares the detection accuracy with the forgery detection using the existing L₂, L₁ Norm-based LE operator. In comparison of detection rates, the proposed lower triangular(Ayalneh and Choi) window was more robust to BAG mismatch detection than the conventional window filter. In addition, in the case of using the lower triangular window, the performance of image forgery detection was measured increasingly higher as the L₂, L₁ and L₀ Norm LE operator was performed.

본 논문에서는 유명 상표를 위조하여 모조 상품을 만들어 이를 유통시키는 것에 대해 대처하기 위한 위조 상품 검출 시스템 구축에 대해 논하고자 한다. 통상 위조 제품(이미테이션)은 금형에 위한 상표와 부착된 상품의 위조가 주된 위조 방법이기 때문에 이의 특징을 추출하여 위조 제품을 검출하는 것이 중요한 방법이 된다. 이를 위해 전처리과정을 수행하여 상표가 있는 위치를 검출하여 이의 특징추출과 정합이 주된 식별 방법이 되며 본 논문에서는 이를 제안하고자 한다. 우선적으로 유명신발인 '헤르메스'에 대해 연구를 수행하였으며 차후 이에 대한 실험과 유명신발 뿐이 아닌 다양한 형태의 상품에 대한 고찰 및 특징 벡터 선정 등에 대해 지속적인 연구를 수행하고자 한다.

Nowadays, image manipulation is enormously popular and easier than ever with tons of convenient images editing tools. After several simple operations, users can get visually attractive images which easily trick viewers. In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm which can detect the image splicing using the Markov features. The proposed algorithm reduces the computational complexity by removing unnecessary Markov features which are not used in the image splicing detection process. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using a famous image splicing dataset which is publicly available. The experimental results show that the proposed technique outperforms the state-of-the-art splicing detection methods.

Digital image provides many conveniences at the internet environment recently. A great number of applications, like Digital Library, Stock Image, Personal Image and Important Information, require the use of digital image. However it has fatal defect which is easy to be modified because digital image is only electronic file. Numerous digital image forgeries have become a serious problem due to the sophistication and accessibility of image editing software. Copy-Move forgery is the simplest type of forgery that involves copying portion of an image and paste it on different location within the image. There are many approaches to detect Copy-Move forgery, but all of them have their own limitations. In this paper, visual and invisible feature based forgery detection techniques are tested and analyzed. The analysis shows that pros and cons of these two techniques compensate each other. Therefore, a hybrid of visual based and invisible feature based forgery detection that combine the merits of both techniques is proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has enhanced performance compared to individual techniques. Moreover, it provides more information about the forgery, like identifying copy and duplicate regions.

Nowadays, there have been an increasing number of illegal use cases where people try to fabricate the working hours by using fake fingerprints. So, the fingerprint liveness detection techniques have been actively studied and widely demanded in various applications. This paper proposes a new method to detect fake fingerprints using CNN (Convolutional Neural Ntworks) based on the patches of fingerprint images. Fingerprint image is divided into small square sized patches and each patch is classified as live, fake, or background by the CNN. Finally, the fingerprint image is classified into either live or fake based on the voting result between the numbers of fake and live patches. The proposed method does not need preprocessing steps such as segmentation because it includes the background class in the patch classification. This method shows promising results of 3.06% average classification errors on LivDet2011, LivDet2013 and LivDet2015 dataset.

Recently the need for advanced security technologies are increasing as the occurrence of intelligent crime is growing fastly. Previous liveness detection methods are required for the improvement of accuracy in order to be put to practical use. In this paper, we propose a new fake image detection method using pupil reflection. The proposed system detects eyes based on multi-scale Gabor feature vector in the first stage, and uses template matching technique in oreder to increase the detection accuracy in the second stage. The template matching plays a role in determining the allowed eye area. The infrared image that is reflected in the pupil is used to decide whether or not the captured image is fake. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to the previous methods in the detection accuracy of fake images.

Android Application Package (APK) is vulnerable to repackaging attacks. Therefore, obfuscation technology was applied inside the Android APK file to cope with repackaging attack. However, as more advanced reverse engineering techniques continue to be developed, fake Android APK files to be released. A new approach is needed to solve this problem. A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of theprevious block, a timestamp and transaction data. Once recorded, the data inany given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks. Therefore, it is possible to check whether or not theAndroid Mobile APK is forged by applying the blockchain technology. In this paper, we construct a discrimination DApp (Decentralized Application) against forgery Android Mobile APK by recording and maintaining the legitimate APK in the consortium blockchain framework like Hyperledger Fabric by Composer. With proposed DApp, we can prevent the forgery and modification of the appfrom being installed on the user's Smartphone, and normal and legitimate apps will be widely used.

With the recent development and increasing importance of personal identification systems, biometric technologies with less risk of loss or unauthorized use are being popularized rapidly. In particular, because of their high identification rate and convenience, fingerprint identification systems are being used much more commonly than other biometric systems such as iris recognition, face recognition and vein pattern recognition. However, a fingerprint identification system has the problem that artificially forged finger-prints can be used as input data. Thus, in order to solve this problem, the present study proposed a method for detecting forged fingerprints by measuring the degree of attenuation when the light from an optical fingerprint sensor passes through the finger and analyzing changes in the transmission of light over stages at fixed intervals. In order to prove improvement in the performance of the proposed system, we conducted an experiment that compared the system with an existing multi-sensor recognition system that measures also the temperature of fingerprint. According to the results of the experiment, the proposed system improved the forged fingerprint detection rate by around 32.6% and this suggests the possibility of solving the security problem in fingerprint identification systems.
