As individual users have to provide more information than the minimum for using information communication service, the invasion of privacy of Individual users is increasing. That is why client/server based personal information security platform technologies are being developed such as P3P, EPAL and XACML. By the way enterprises and organizations using primarily role based access control can not use these technologies. because those technologies apply access control policies to individual subjects. In this paper, we suggest an expression language for privacy enhancing role-based access control policy. Suggested privacy enhancing role-based access control policy language model is a variation of XACML which uses matching method and condition, and separately contains elements of role, purpose, and obligation. We suggest policy language model for permission assignment in this paper, shows not only privacy policy scenario with policy document instance, but also request context and response context for helping understanding.

Google Android employs a security model based on application permissions to control accesses to system resources and components of other applications from a potentially malicious program. But, this model has security vulnerabilities due to lack of user comprehension and excessive permission requests by 3rd party applications. Broadcast intent message is widely used as a primary means of communication among internal application components. However, this mechanism has also potential security problems because it has no security policy related with it. In this paper, we first present security breach scenarios caused by inappropriate use of application permissions and broadcast intent messages. We then analyze and compare usage patterns of application permissions and broadcast intent message for popular applications on Android market and malwares, respectively. The analysis results show that there exists a characteristic set for application permissions and broadcast intent receiver that are requested by typical malwares. Based on the results, we propose a scheme to detect applications that are suspected as malicious and notify the result to users at installation time.

Small and medium enterprises have more dependency on their information technology than large enterprises have. but they can't pay much for information technology and information security due to financial restrictions, limited resources, and lack of know-how. So there are many vulnerabilities in small and medium enterprises and these would make many security incidents. Security managers of small and medium enterprises think that information security in their company is simply equivalent to updating the antivirus solutions. managing firewall, and patching systems regularly. However, security policies, prevention of information theft. business continuity, access controls, and many other information security issues should be considered for mitigating security incidents. In this context, we redefined security countermeasures and strategies which are only appropriate to large enterprises. for making them appropriate on a secure operating for information system of small and medium enterprises, and we investigate information security issues in the four views of information system and company, and finally we present information security strategies for each view, in this paper.

To develop experts capable of responding to cyber security incidents, numerous institutions have established cyber training facilities to cultivate security professionals equipped with effective defense strategies. However, these challenges such as limited resources, scenario-based content development, and cost constraints. To address these issues, this paper proposes a virtual infrastructure variation generation framework. It provides customized, diverse IT infrastructure environments for each organization, allowing cyber defense trainers to accumulate a wide range of experiences. By leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) containers and employing Word2Vec, a natural language processing model, mutable code elements are extracted and trained, enabling the generation of new code and presenting novel container environments.

The purpose of security control in the public sector is to secure the safety of administrative services for the public by preventing resource loss or information infringement in information systems and information and communication networks. The security control system is a process that performs real-time detection, analysis, response, and reporting through system vulnerability analysis and security system detection pattern optimization. This study aims to objectively identify the current situation of the mismatch between the supply and demand of cyber security control centers currently in operation and specialized security control companies that can be entrusted to operate them, and to derive and propose practical and institutional improvement measures. Considering that the operation of security control centers in the public sector is expected to increase in the future, research on the practical supplementation required for the operation process of security control centers and the improvement of the designation system of security control specialized organizations has fundamental and timely significance, and it is an area that requires continuous research in terms of strategic industrialization.

A crypto-jacking attack is an attack that infringes on the availability of users by stealing computing resources required for cryptocurrency mining. The target of the attack is gradually diversifying from general desktop or server environments to cloud environments. Therefore, it is essential to apply a crypto-minor detection technique suitable for various computing environments. However, since the existing detection methodologies have only been detected in a specific environment, comparative analysis has not been properly performed on the methodologies that can be applied to each environment. Therefore, in this study, classification criteria for conventional crypto-minor detection techniques are established, and a complex and integrated detection framework applicable to the cloud environment is presented through in-depth comparative analysis of existing crypto-minor detection techniques based on different experimental environments and datasets.

Container-based virtualization has attracted many attentions as an alternative to virtual machine technology because it can be used more lightly by sharing the host operating system instead of individual guest operating systems. However, this advantage may owe some vulnerabilities. In particular, excessive resource use of some containers can affect other containers, which is known as the noisy neighbor problem, so that the important property of isolation may not be guaranteed. The noisy neighbor problem can threat the availability of containers, so we need to consider the noisy neighbor problem as a security problem. In this paper, we investigate vulnerabilities on guarantee of isolation incurred by the noisy neighbor problem in container-based virtualization. For this we first analyze the structure of container-based virtualization environments. Then we present vulnerabilities in 3 functional layers and general directions for solutions with limitations.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that are piloted without human pilots can be commanded remotely via frequencies or perform pre-inputted missions. UAVs have been mainly used for military purposes, but due to the development of ICT technology, they are now widely used in the private sector. Teal Group's 2014 World UAV Forecast predicts that the UAV market will grow by 10% annually over the next decade, reaching $ 12.5 billion by 2023. However, because UAVs are primarily remotely controlled, if a malicious user accesses a remotely controlled UAV, it could seriously infringe privacy and cause financial loss or even loss of life. To solve this problem, a secure channel must be established through mutual authentication between the UAV and the control center. However, existing security techniques require a lot of computing resources and power, and because communication distances, infrastructure, and data flow are different from UAV networks, it is unsuitable for application in UAV environments. To resolve this problem, the study presents a lightweight UAV authentication method based on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) that requires less computing resources in the ground Control and Non-Payload Communication (CNPC) environment, where recently, technology standardization is actively under progress.

The growth of computer resource and network speed has increased requests for the use of remotely located computer systems by connecting through computer networks. This phenomenon has hoisted research activities for application service provision that uses server-based remote computing paradigm. The server-based remote computing paradigm has been developed as the ASP (Application Service Provision) model, which provides remote users through application sharing protocol to application programs. Security requirement such as confidentiality, availability, integrity should be satisfied to provide ASP service using centralized computing system. Existing Telnet or FTP service for a remote computing systems have satisfied security requirement by a simple access control to files and/or data. But windows-based centralized computing system is vulnerable to confidentiality, availability, integrity where many users use the same application program installed in the same computer. In other words, the computing system needs detailed security level for each user different from others, such that only authorized user or group of users can run some specific functional commands for the program. In this paper, we propose windows based centralized computing system that sets security policies for each user for the use of instructions of the application programs, and performs access control to the instructions based on the security policies. The system monitors all user messages which are executed through graphical user interface by the users connecting to the system. Ail Instructions, i.e. messages, for the application program are now passed to authorization process that decides if an Instruction is delivered to the application program based on the pre-defined security polices. This system can be used as security clearance for each user for the shared computing resource as well as shared application programs.

Rock materials of the three-storied stone pagoda in the Cheongryongsa temple in Korea are mainly composed of gneissose two-mica granite and fine-grained granite. This stone pagoda shows structural instability due to cracks and breaking-out of the stones. The surface properties of the stone is highly degraded by various inorganic pollutants and epilithic biospecies. Therefore, this study carried out comprehensive deterioration diagnosis by non-destructive methods, and some conservation treatments base on the diagnosis were carried out to reduce weathering progress. As the treatments, the biospecies and lichen that covering on the stone surfaces were removed by dry and wet cleaning, and degraded concrete applied to the pagoda for restoration in the past was removed and repaired with epoxy resin. Oxidized iron plates inserted between the rock properties were also substituted titanium stainless steels. After all processes are completed, we sprayed consolidant on the rock surface. Finally, the ground of the stone pagoda was rearranged using small rock aggregates, and the fence was established for control of artificial deterioration by visitors and environmental maintenance.
