Instrumentation and control systems measure and control various variables of nuclear facilities to operate nuclear power plants safely. A diverse protection system, a representative instrumentation and control system, generates a reactor trip and turbine trip signal by high pressure in a pressurizer and containment to satisfy the design requirements 10CFR50.62. Also, it generates an auxiliary feedwater actuation signal by low water levels in steam generators. Cybersecurity has become more critical as digital technology is gradually applied to solve problems such as performance degradation due to aging of analog equipment, increased maintenance costs, and product discontinuation. This paper analyzed possible cybersecurity threat scenarios in the diverse protection system using attack trees. Based on the analyzed cybersecurity threat scenario, we calculated the probability of attack occurrence and confirmed the cybersecurity risk in connection with the asset value.

As the use of the Internet has explosively increased, it is likely for the Internet to be exposed to various attacks. Modeling the Internet attacks is essential to simulate the attacks. However, the existing studies on attack modeling have mainly focused on classifying and categorizing the attacks and consequently they are not suitable to representing attack scenarios in the Internet security simulation. In this paper, we introduce the existing methods of attack modeling, and propose an adapted attack modeling to properly express the properties for the Internet security simulator. The adapted attack modeling suggests a solution to the problems of the existing attack tree modelings, such as difficulty of composing complex scenarios ambiguity of attack sequence, lack of system state information. And it can represent simultaneous, precise time-dependent attack, and attack period, which are nearly impossible to be represented in many other existing methods.

This paper proposes a technique of sybil attack detection using an ID-based certificate on sensor network. First, it can solve the broadcast storm problem happening when keys are distributed to sensor nodes. Second, it prevents the replay attack by periodically generating and changing the keys of sensor nodes with Key-chain technique. Third, it authenticates sensor node's ID using hash function. So, it maximizes sensor node's memory usage, reduces communication overhead. Finally it detects Sybil attack through ID-based certificate. Therefore, the proposed technique of Sybil attack detection using ID-based certificate consider simultaneously energy efficiency and stability on sensor network environment, and can trust the provided information through sensor network.

This paper proposes S-CAFG(Stage-based Cyber Attack Flow Graph), a model for effectively describing training scenarios that simulate modern complex cyber attacks. On top of existing graph and tree models, we add a stage node to model more complex scenarios. In order to evaluate the proposed model, we create a complicated scenario and compare how the previous models and S-CAFG express the scenario. As a result, we confirm that S-CAFG can effectively describe various attack scenarios such as simultaneous attacks, additional attacks, and bypass path selection.

The smart screening in the medical field as diffusion of smart devices and development of communication technologies is emerging some medical security concerns. Among of them its necessary to taking risk management measures to identify, evaluate and control of the security risks that can occur in Telemedicine because of the Medical information interchanges as Doctor to Doctor (D2D), Doctor to Patient (D2P). This research paper studies and suggests the risk analysis and evaluation methods of risk security that can occur in Telemedicine based on the verified results of Telemedicine system and equipment from the direct site which operating in primary clinics, public health centers and it's branches, etc.

The number of web service users has been increased rapidly as existing services are changed into the web-based internet applications. Therefore, it is necessary for us to use web log pre-processing technique to detect attacks on diverse web service transactions and it is also possible to extract web mining information. However, existing mechanisms did not provide efficient pre-processing procedures for a huge volume of web log data. In this paper, we proposed both a field based parsing and a high-speed log indexing mechanism based on the suggested B-tree Index Vector structure for performance enhancement. In experiments, the proposed mechanism provides an efficient web log pre-processing and search functions with a session classification. Therefore it is useful to enhance web attack detection function.

In this paper, we introduce the creation methods of attack detection model using data mining technologies that can classify the latest attack types, and can detect the modification of existing attacks as well as the novel attacks. Also, we evaluate comparatively these attack detection models in the view of detection accuracy and detection time. As the important factors for creating detection models, there are data, attribute, and detection algorithm. Thus, we used NetFlow data gathered at the real network, and KDD Cup 1999 data for the experiment in large quantities. And for attribute selection, we used a heuristic method and a theoretical method using decision tree algorithm. We evaluate comparatively detection models using a single supervised/unsupervised data mining approach and a combined supervised data mining approach. As a result, although a combined supervised data mining approach required more modeling time, it had better detection rate. All models using data mining techniques could detect the attacks within 1 second, thus these approaches could prove the real-time detection. Also, our experimental results for anomaly detection showed that our approaches provided the detection possibility for novel attack, and especially SOM model provided the additional information about existing attack that is similar to novel attack.

One of the OSI 7 Layer DDoS Attack, HTTP POST DDoS can deny legitimate service by web server resource depletion. This Attack can be executed with less network traffic and legitimate TCP connections. Therefore, It is difficult to distinguish DDoS traffic from legitimate users. In this paper, I propose an anomaly HTTP POST traffic detection algorithm and http each page Content-Length field size limit with defense method for HTTP POST DDoS attack. Proposed method showed the result of detection and countermeasure without false negative and positive to use the r-u-dead-yet of HTTP POST DDoS attack tool and the self-developed attack tool.

With the advancement of modern technology, cyber-attacks are always rising. Specialized defense systems are needed to protect organizations against these threats. Malicious behavior in the network is discovered using security tools like intrusion detection systems (IDS), firewall, antimalware systems, security information and event management (SIEM). It aids in defending businesses from attacks. Delivering advance threat feeds for precise attack detection in intrusion detection systems is the role of cyber-threat intelligence (CTI) in the study is being presented. In this proposed work CTI feeds are utilized in the detection of assaults accurately in intrusion detection system. The ultimate objective is to identify the attacker behind the attack. Several data sets had been analyzed for attack detection. With the proposed study the ability to identify network attacks has improved by using machine learning algorithms. The proposed model provides 98% accuracy, 97% precision, and 96% recall respectively.

Increasing of damage by phishing, government and organization response more rapidly. So phishing use malware and vulnerability for attack. Recently attack that use patch analysis is increased when Microsoft announce patches. Cause of that, researcher for security on defense need technology of patch analysis. But most patch analysis are develop for Microsoft's product. Increasing of mobile environment, necessary of patch analysis on mobile is increased. But ordinary patch analysis can not use mobile environment that there is many file and small size. So we suggest this research that use code filtering instead of Control Flow Graph and Abstract Syntax Tree.
