This paper describes an area-efficient design of SHA-256 hash function that is widely used in various security protocols including digital signature, authentication code, key generation. The SHA-256 hash processor includes a padder block for padding and parsing input message, so that it can operate without software for preprocessing. Round function was designed with a 16-bit data-path that processed 64 round computations in 128 clock cycles, resulting in an optimized area per throughput (APT) performance as well as small area implementation. The SHA-256 hash processor was verified by FPGA implementation using Virtex5 device, and it was estimated that the throughput was 337 Mbps at maximum clock frequency of 116 MHz. The synthesis for ASIC implementation using a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS cell library shows that it has 13,251 gate equivalents (GEs) and it can operate up to 200 MHz clock frequency.

A secure entrance system is complicated because it should have various functions like monitoring, logging, tracing, authentication, authorization, staff locating, managing staff enter-and-leave, and gate control. In this paper, we built and applied a secure entrance system for a domestic nuclear plant using Aspect Oriented Programming(AOP) and design pattern. Using AOP has an advantage of clearly distinguishing the role for each functional module because building a system separated independently from the system's business logic and security logic is possible. It can manage system alternation flexibility by frequent change of external environment, building a more flexible system based on increased code reuse, efficient functioning is possible which is an original advantage of AOP. Using design pattern enables to design by structuring the complicated problems that arise in general software development. Therefore, the safety of the system can also be guaranteed.

Local monitoring is an effective technique in securing data of wireless sensor networks. Existing solutions require high communication cost for detecting false data and this results in a network lifetime being shortened. This paper proposes novel techniques of monitoring based secure data aggregation and filtering false data in wireless sensor networks. The aim is to reduce energy consumption in securing data aggregation. An aggregator and its monitoring node perform data aggregation in a 60o sextant cluster. By checking Message Authentication Codes (MAC), aggregation data will be dropped by a forward aggregator if data aggregated by the aggregator and data monitored by the monitoring node are inconsistent. The simulation shows that the proposed protocol can reduce the amount of average energy consumption about 64% when comparing with the Data Aggregation and Authentication protocol (DAA)[1]. Additionally, the network lifetime of the proposed protocol is 283% longer than that of DAA without any decline in data integrity.

Since 2010, vehicle black boxes have become popular with many people, if there is no record of the vehicle accident scene, or if the offender deliberately deletes the image data, the victim succeeds. The biggest advantage of blockchain is that it is impossible to modify and delete data by data distribution storage. The biggest disadvantage is that sensitive data is also distributed. In this paper, we propose a blockchain method for the black box by using the advantage of shared block data and we intend to solve the problem of personal information leakage which is a disadvantage of blockchain by storing sensitive information stored in a blockchain in a private server by LINK blockchain with a private server. We also attached code(Github) and demonstration video(Youtube) linking LINK blockchain with the private server in this paper.

Food printers must use food ink cartridges approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). A 2D bar code is used to read whether the ink cartridge is authentic. However, since the dye is diverged by heat pressure and printed, the barcode is contaminated. In this paper, we propose a pre-processing algorithm to solve the problem of barcode contamination by food coloring dust in a latte art printer. The algorithm is based on various morphological operations. We apply this algorithm before reading contaminated barcode images with a general QR code reader. It has been confirmed that, as compared with the existing QR code reader, the contamination rate that can be perceived is increased from 25% to 40% and even at a contamination rate of 45%, the recognition rate reaches 50%.

Recently, in the field of next-generation e-commerce and finance, interest in blockchain-based technologies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum is great. Although the security of blockchain technology is known to be secure, hacking incidents / accidents related to cryptocurrencies are being issued. The main causes were vulnerabilities in the external environment, such as taking over login sessions on cryptocurrency wallets, exposing private keys due to malware infection, and using simple passwords. However, private key management recommends general methods such as utilizing a dedicated application or local backup and physical archiving through document printing. In this paper, we propose a white box password-based private key protection scheme. As a result of safety and performance analysis, we strengthened the security against vulnerability of private key exposure and proved the processing efficiency of existing protocol.

Password with a combination of 4-digit numbers has been widely adopted for various authentication systems (such as credit card authentication, digital door lock systems and so on). However, this system could not be safe because the 4-digit password can easily be stolen by predicting it from the fingermarks on the keypad or display screen. Furthermore, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, contactless method has been preferred over contact method in authentication. This paper suggests a new password input method based on eyeblink pattern analysis in video sequence. In the proposed method, when someone stands in front of a camera, the sequence of eyeblink motions is captured (according to counting signal from 0 to 9 or 9 to 0), analyzed and encoded, producing the desired 4-digit decimal numbers. One does not need to touch something like keypad or perform an exaggerated action, which can become a very important clue for intruders to predict the password.

As the number of coffee shops increases, many people are studying or working at coffee shops. Coffee shop operators have been required to analyze customer visits due to customer turnover and profit problems. Methods such as image analysis, QR code authentication, and Bluetooth beacon have been proposed for these statistics and analysis. However, it is difficult to use due to problems such as invasion of privacy and low accuracy. Therefore, in this study, to solve these problem and provide more accurate in-store congestion information, we propose a crowding measurement method of coffee shop using high frequency signal. There is an advantage in that a high frequency signal replaces the Bluetooth signal, and the transmission range of the signal is limited to the store, thereby increasing the accuracy of the method. To verify the performance of the proposed system, we conducted a comparative experiment with a Bluetooth based system, and as a result, the proposed method showed lower misrecognition rate. Thus, the proposed method will be an effective useful service for providing information on crowding at coffee shops and processing statistics.
