Recently, according to the number of internet in widely use and the development of the related application program, the distribution and use of multimedia content(text, images, video, audio etc.) is very easy. Digital signal may be easily duplicated and the duplicated data can have same quality of original data so that it is difficult to warrant original owner. For the solution of this problem, the protection method of copyright which is encipher and watermarking. Digital watermarking is used to protect IP(Intellectual Property) and authenticate the owner of multimedia content. In this paper, the proposed watermarking algerian embeds watermark into multiple lower bitplanes of digital image. In the proposed algorithm, original and watermark images are decomposed to bitplanes each other and the watermarking operation is executed in the corresponded bitplane. The position of watermark image embedded in each bitplane is used to the watermarking key and executed in multiple lower bitplane which has no an influence on human visual recognition. Thus this algorithm can present watermark image to the multiple inherent patterns and needs small watermarking quantity. In the experiment, the author confirmed that it has high robustness against attacks of JPEG, MEDIAN and PSNR but it is weakness against attacks of NOISE, RNDDIST, ROT, SCALE, SS on spatial domain when a criterion PSNR of watermarked image is 40dB.

The existing electronic transaction protocol uses a cryptography algorithm that is not suitable for mobile environment because of limited memory and process ability. In this paper, we propose an efficient transaction protocol suitable for mobile embedded system. The proposed protocol reduces computation and process time by using ID-based cryptography algorithm and ECC (elliptic curve cryptosystem). It uses vendor authentication only in the first transaction, and from the second transaction, it requires transaction after authentication with session created by applying ECC technique. Therefore, the creation number of authentication for the vendor can be reduced from n to one. And it reduces process time because it provides the same security with 160 bits as with 1024 bits of RSA.

This paper describes a hardware design of hash function processor which implements Korean Hash Algorithm Standard HAS-160. The HAS-160 processor compresses a message with arbitrary lengths into a hash code with a fixed length of 160-bit. To achieve high-speed operation with small-area, arithmetic operation for step-operation is implemented by using a hybrid structure of 5:3 and 3:2 carry-save adders and carry-select adder. It computes a 160-bit hash code from a message block of 512 bits in 82 clock cycles, and has 312 Mbps throughput at 50 MHz@3.3-V clock frequency. The designed HAS-160 processor is verified by FPGA implementation, and it has 17,600 gates on a layout area of about $1\;mm^2$ using a 0.35-${\mu}m$ CMOS cell library.

Recently, the quantity and type of data that is being processed in cloud environment are varied. A method for easy access in different network in a heterogeneous environment of big data stored in the device is required. This paper propose security management method for smoothly access to big data in other network environment conjunction with attribute information between big data and user. The proposed method has a high level of safety even if user-generated random bit signal is modulated. The proposed method is sufficient to deliver any number of bits the user to share information used to secure recognition. Also, the security awareness information bit sequence generated by a third party to avoid unnecessary exposure value by passing a hash chain of the user anonymity is to be guaranteed to receive.

Recently, RFID is substituted for bar codes according to advance in the ubiquitous computing environments, but the RFID system has several problems such as security and privacy because it uses radio frequencies. Firstly, unauthorized reader can easily read the ID information of any Tag. Secondly, Attacker can easily fake the legitimate reader using the collected Tag ID information,such as the any legitimate tag. This paper proposed improved RFID authentication protocol based on SSG. SSG is organized only one LFSR and selection logic. Thus SSG is suitable for implementation of hardware logic in system with extremely limited resources such as RFID tag and it has resistance to known various attacks because of output bit stream for the use as pseudorandom generator. The proposed protocol is secure and effective because it is based on SSG.

Many watermarking methods for protecting the intellectual property right and authentication multimedia data have been proposed in recent years. In image authentication watermarking, watermark is inserted into an image to detect any malicious alteration. So, watermark for authentication and integrity should be erased easily when the image is changed by scaling or cropping etc. We propose in this paper a fragile watermarking algorithm for image integrity verification and tamper localization proofing using special hierarchical structure. In the proposed method, the image to be watermarked is divided into blocks in a multi-level hierarchy and calculating block digital signatures in thus hierarchy. At each level of the hierarchy, a digital signature for each block is calculated using the seven most significant bit(MSBs)-plane values of all pixels within the block. And the resulting signature is incorporated into the LSBs of selected pixels within the block. We provide experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Quality and resolution of camera in mobile device is improved significantly. In this paper, we propose block-based information hide techniques without image distortion for mobile device to solve image degradation in conventional watermarking methods. Information of image is composed with text such as camera maker, model, date, time, etc. Each text is converted to $8{\times}8$ pixel blocks and is added to the bottom of image. Generally image including block based information for image authentication are compressed using JPEG in mobile device. The vertical line value in JPEG header is modified by original size of image sensor. This technique can hide the block based authentication information using general decoder. In the experimental results, JPEG file size is slightly increased within 0.1% for the proposed block based authentication information encoding. Finally proposed methods can be adopted for various embedded systems using medical image, smart phone and DSLR camera.

In this paper, we describe VLSI design and performance evaluation of OCB-AES crytographic algorithm that simulataneously provides privacy and authenticity. The OCB-AES crytographic algorithm sovles the problems such as long operation time and large hardware of conventional crytographic system, because the conventional system must implement the privancy and authenticity sequentially with seqarated algorithms and hardware. The OCB-AES processor with area-efficient modular offset generator and tag generator is designed using IDEC Samsung 0.35um standard cell library and consists of about 55,700 gates. Its cipher rate is about 930Mbps and the number of clock cycles needed to generate the 128-bit tags for authenticity and integrity is (m+2)${\times}$(Nr+1), where m and Nr represent the number of block for message and number of rounds for AES encryption, respectively. The OCB-AES processor can be applicable to soft cryptographic IP of IEEE 802.11i wireless LAN and Mobile SoC.

Since the advent of Bitcoin, various virtual assets have been actively traded through virtual asset services of virtual asset exchanges. Recently, security accidents have frequently occurred in virtual asset exchanges, so the government is obligated to obtain information security management system (ISMS) certification to strengthen information protection of virtual asset exchanges, and 56 additional specialized items have been established. In this paper, we compared the domain importance of ISMS and CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS) which is a set of requirements for all information systems that make use of cryptocurrencies, and analyzed the results after mapping them to gain insight into the characteristics of each certification system. Improvements for 4 items of High Level were derived by classifying the priorities for improvement items into 3 stages: High, Medium, and Low. These results can provide priority for virtual asset and information system security, support method and systematic decision-making on improvement of certified items, and contribute to vitalization of virtual asset transactions by enhancing the reliability and safety of virtual asset services.

현대 인터넷의 근간을 이루고 있는 IPv4의 주소공간(약 43억 개)이 고갈됨에 따라 128비트 주소길이를 제공하는 IPv6에 대한 관심이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. IPv6는 IPv4에서는 고려하지 않은 인증 및 보안가능을 새롭게 추가하였으며, 그 외에도 호스트주소 자동설정, 점보그램을 이용한 패킷크기 확장, 효율적인 라우팅, 플로 레이블링, 이동성, QoS 등의 다양한 새로운 기능을 제공한다. 하지만, IPv6는 IPv4와는 다른 방식으로 동작하는 "새로운" 프로토콜이기 때문에, 예측 가능 또는 불가능한 다양한 보안상 위험요소가 존재한다고 할 수 있다. 따라서, IPv6를 실제 네트워크에 도입 구축하고 안전하게 운영하기 위해서는 보안상 해결 해야할 많은 문제점들이 존재하며, 이를 위해 현재 IETF 및 NIST, ITU-T를 중심으로 IPv6 보안기술에 관한 국제표준을 진행하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 각 표준화기관에서 진행하고 있는 IPv6 보안기술의 국제표준화에 관한 개요 및 특정에 대해서 살펴보고, IPv6 도입을 검토하고 있는 각급기관 및 네트워크 관리자들에게 IPv6 보안기술에 대한 방향성을 제시하고자 한다.
