Since smartphones possess a variety of user information, we can derive useful data related to the case from app data analysis in the digital forensic perspective. However, it requires an appropriate forensic measure as smartphone has the property of high mobility and high possibility of data loss, forgery, and modulation. Especially the forged/modulated time-stamp impairs the credibility of digital proof and results in the perplexity during the timeline analysis. This paper provides traces of usage which could investigate whether the time-stamp has been forged/modulated or not within the range of iOS based devices.

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.

보안 침해사고시 수집된 디지털 증거를 법적 증거로써 제출하기 위해 신뢰성이 확보되어야한다. 이를 위한 디지털 증거 무결성 보증 기법들중 MDC를 사용한 디지털 증거 무결성 보증 기법은 MDC값을 공격자가 위조 변조 할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 또 PKI를 이용한 공증 방식은 기존의 증거 수집 시스템을 수정해야 하는 단점과 새로 시스템을 도입하기 위한 비용이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안하는 디지털 증거 보호 기법은 Diffie-Hellman(DH) 키 교환 알고리즘을 이용하여 생성된 비밀키와 디지털 증거 수집 대상 시스템(Collecotion System-CS)의 하드웨어 정보($HW_{CS}$)로 디지털 증거(D), 디지털 증거에 대한 해쉬값(H(D))과 타임스탬프(Time)를 암호화해서 디지털 증거에 대한 기밀성, 인증 및 무결성을 보증하는 기법을 제안하였다.

Accountable Internet Protocol (AIP) is one of the future Internet architectures to provide accountability concept by using the self-certifying address that is derived by the public key of the host. In AIP, when a host sends a packet, a domain that is located between the source and the destination hosts discards the packet in order to verify the source IP address. Therefore, performance degradation can occur due to packet discard especially when there is asymmetric route. In this paper, we propose the improved AIP mechanism to verify the source IP address without discarding the packet by including the timestamp, public key value and the signature for protecting from forfeiting the source address. Security safety of the proposed mechanism is evaluated and the proposed mechanism can provide the more robust security as well as reducing the latency due to discarding packets.
