Recently the government civil affairs administration system has been advanced to a cloud computing environment from a simple network environment. The electronic civil affairs processing environment in recent years means cloud computing environment based bid data services. Therefore, there exist lots of problems in processing big data for the government civil affairs service compared to the conventional information acquisition environment. That is, it processes new information through collecting required information from different information systems much further than the information service in conventional network environments. According to such an environment, applications of providing administration information for processing the big data have been becoming a major target of illegal attackers. The objectives of this study are to prevent illegal uses of the electronic civil affairs service based on IPs nationally located in civil affairs centers and to protect leaks of the important data retained in these centers. For achieving it, the safety, usability, and security of services are to be ensured by using different authentication processes and encryption methods based on these processes.

Recently, IoT technologies attract much attenction in medical area. Previous medical IoT had focused mainly on chronological diseases or fitness for particular users. Contrarily, medical use of the IoT technologies is now extended for medical institutes and hospitals to care intensively in-house patients, which requires typically more strict and reliable data delivery and security, authentication and authorization. This study defines scenario of the medical IoT for the intensive care and proposes an architecture of the medical IoT services. We implement a testbed using commerical sensors and Arduino board together with a Web-based platform. Experiment results on the testbed show that our approach can be feasible for the medical system in terms of latency and accuracy in medical data delivery.

Background: Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a well-known medicinal plant of Oriental medicine that is still in practice today. Until now, a total of 11 Korean ginseng cultivars with unique features to Korean ginseng have been developed based on the pure-line-selection method. Among them, a new cultivar namely G-1 with different agricultural traits related to yield and content of ginsenosides, was developed in 2012. Methods: The aim of this study was to distinguish the new ginseng cultivar G-1 by identifying the unique single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at its 45S ribosomal DNA and Panax quinquefolius region than other Korean ginseng cultivars using multiplex amplification-refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). Results: A SNP at position of 45S ribosomal DNA region between G-1, P. quinquefolius, and the other Korean ginseng cultivars was identified. By designing modified allele-specific primers based on this site, we could specifically identified G-1 and P. quinquefolius via multiplex PCR. The unique primer for the SNP yielded an amplicon of size 449 bp in G-1 cultivar and P. quinquefolius. This study presents an effective method for the genetic identification of the G-1 cultivar and P. quinquefolius. Conclusion: The results from our study shows that this SNP-based approach to identify the G-1 cultivar will be a good way to distinguish accurately the G-1 cultivar and P. quinquefolius from other Korean ginseng cultivars using a SNP at 45S ribosomal DNA region.

The IEC 61850 communication standard is used worldwide, and within the country the new substation is built as a digital substation based on IEC 61850 from 2013, after field tests and R&D from 2007. Research on the development of digital substation operating system has been conducted mainly in large domestic companies, so the IED power application equipment for LCP are developed. However, there is still a lack of research in the field of systems that can accommodate all the field devices used for legacy substation and new digital substation. In this paper, we developed the 48VDC input modules and the 125VDC output modules which can construct proposed field information processing modules to IEC 61850 based type, and verified the field applicability from the state monitoring and control operation tests by using IEC 61850 client authentication program and Wireshark.

Recently RFID not only is widely utilized in various fields such as inventory management, merchandize logistics, etc., but also, has evolved as an important component of the Internet of Things (IoT). According to increasing the utilization field of RIFD, studies for security and privacy for RFID system have been made diverse. Among them, the ownership transfer protocols for RFID tags have also been proposed in connection with the purchase of products embedded with RFID tag. Recently, Kapoor and Piramuthu proposed a RFID ownership transfer protocol to solve the problems of security weakness of the previous RFID ownership transfer protocols. In this paper, we show that Kapoor-Piramuthu's protocol also has security problems and provide a new protocol to resolve them. Security analysis of newly proposed protocol shows the security concerns are resolved.

In this paper we discussed various types of electronic payment schemes that are emerging. Threats vary from malicious hackers attempting to crash a system, to threats to data or transaction integrity. An understanding of the various types of threats can assist a security manager in selecting appropriate cost-effective controls to protect valuable information resources. An overview of many of today's common threats presented in this paper will be useful to mangers studying their own threat environments with a view toward developing solutions specific to their organization. To ensure security on the Internet, several methods have been developed and deployed. They include authentication of users and servers, encryption, and data integrity. Transaction security is critical : without it, information transmitted over the Internet is susceptible to fraud and other misuse. So computer systems represents an Intermediary with the potential to access the flow of information between a user. Security is needed to ensure that intermediaries cannot eavesdrop on transactions, or copy/modify data. Online firms must take additional precautions to prevent security breaches. To protect consumer information, they must maintain physical security of their servers and control access to software passwords and private keys. Techniques such as secret and public-key encryption and digital signatures play a crucial role in developing consumer confidence in electronic commerce.

Fingerprints have been widely used in the biometric authentication because of its performance, uniqueness and universality. Recently, the speed of identification becomes a very important point in the fingerprint-based security applications. Also, the reliability still remains the main issue in the fingerprint identification. In this paper, we propose the fast and reliable fingerprint matching algorithm based on the process of the 'self-nonself' discrimination in the biological immune system. The proposed algorithm is organized by two-matching stage. The 1st matching stage does the matching process by the use of the 'self-space' and MHC detector string set that are generated from the minutiae and the values of the directional field. Then the 2nd matching stage is made based on the local-structure of the minutiae. The proposed two matching stage reduces matching time while the reliability of the matching algorithm is maintained.

With the growing use of fingerprint authentication systems in recent years, the fake fingerprint detection is becoming more and more important. This paper mainly proposes a method for fake fingerprint detection based on CNN, it will visualize the distinctive part of detected fingerprint which provides a deeper insight in CNN model. After the preprocessing part using fingerprint segmentation, the pretrained CNN model is used for detecting the liveness detection. Not only a liveness detection but also feature analysis about the live fingerprint and fake fingerprint are provided after classifying which materials are used for making the fake fingerprint. Our system is evaluated on three databases in LivDet2013, which compromise almost 6500 live fingerprint images and 6000 fake fingerprint images in total. The proposed method achieves 3.1% ACE value about the liveness detection and achieves 79.58% accuracy on LiveDet2013.
