Recently, due to the development of attack techniques that can circumvent existing information protection systems, continuous threats in a form unrecognized by the user have threatened information assets. Therefore, it is necessary to support the prompt responses to anticipated attempts of APT attacks, bypass access attacks, and encryption packet attacks, which the existing systems have difficulty defending against through a single response, and to continuously monitor information protection systems with a defense strategy based on Indicators of Attack (IOA). In this paper, I suggest a centralized intelligent information protection system to support the intelligent response to a violation by discerning important assets through prevention control in a performance impact assessment about information properties in order to block the attack routes of APT; establishing information control policies through weakness/risk analyses in order to remove the risks in advance; establishing detection control by restricting interior/exterior bypass networks to server access and monitoring encrypted communications; and lastly, performing related corrective control through backup/restoration.

Block chains began by recognizing the danger of centralized control of financial systems after the 2008 financial crisis. From the beginning of 2008, blockchain has been developing a lot of attention and technology, starting with a tremendous innovation called cryptographic destruction based on technology, a block chain called Bitcoin. However, the vulnerability has also been discovered over time and the damage has been repeated. But in the fourth industry of the 21st century, many advances and technologies based on them are expected to emerge. Therefore, this paper proposes new analytical transaction protocols for vulnerabilities in cryptographic currency transactions. The proposed transaction protocol is a way to authenticate once again at the end of the transaction and the transaction is concluded with this authentication. It presents countermeasures by adding security elements between users to the transaction process rather than internal security to transaction vulnerabilities.

In the recent years, power attacks were widely investigated, and so various countermeasures have been proposed, In the case of block ciphers, masking methods that blind the intermediate values in the algorithm computations(encryption, decryption, and key-schedule) are well-known among these countermeasures. But the cost of non-linear part is extremely high in the masking method of block cipher, and so the inversion of S-box is the most significant part in the case of AES. This fact make various countermeasures be proposed for reducing the cost of masking inversion and Zakeri's method using normal bases over the composite field is known to be most efficient algorithm among these masking method. We rearrange the masking inversion operation over the composite field and so can find duplicated multiplications. Because of these duplicated multiplications, our method can reduce about 10.5% gates in comparison with Zakeri's method.

Quantum algorithms and quantum computers can break the security of many of the ciphers we currently use. If Grover's algorithm is applied to a symmetric key cipher with n-bit security level, the security level can be lowered to (n/2)-bit. In order to apply Grover's algorithm, it is most important to optimize the target cipher as a quantum circuit because the symmetric key cipher must be implemented as a quantum circuit in the oracle function. Accordingly, researches on implementing AES(Advanced Encryption Standard) or lightweight block ciphers as quantum circuits have been actively conducted in recent years. In this paper, korean lightweight block cipher LEA was optimized and implemented as a quantum circuit. Compared to the previous LEA quantum circuit implementation, quantum gates were used more, but qubits were drastically reduced, and performance evaluation was performed for this tradeoff problem. Finally, we evaluated quantum resources for applying Grover's algorithm to the proposed LEA implementation.

This paper presents an Implementation of Korean standard 128-bit block cipher SEED for the small (8 or 16-bits) embedded system using a low-cost FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) chip. Due to their limited computing and storage capacities most of the 8-bits/16-bits small embedded systems require a separate and dedicated cryptography processor for data encryption and decryption process which require relatively heavy computation job. So, in order to integrate the SEED with other logic circuit block in a single chip we need to invent a design which minimizes the area demand while maintaining the proper performance. But, the straight-forward mapping of the SEED specification into hardware design results in exceedingly large circuit area for a low-cost FPGA capacity. Therefore, in this paper we present a design which maximize the resource sharing and utilizing the modern FPGA features to reduce the area demand resulting in the successful implementation of the SEED plus interface logic with single low-cost FPGA. We achieved 66% area accupation by our SEED design for the XC2S100 (a Spartan-II series FPGA from Xilinx) and data throughput more than 66Mbps. This Performance is sufficient for the small scale embedded system while achieving tight area requirement.

To realize the voice privacy between CDMA mobile phone and PSTN terminal, the voice frames shall be transmitted transparently between the heterogeneous networks. For satisfying this requirement, we propose the method which transmits voice frames using the CDMA circuit data channel in real time. In this paper we analyze the causes of voice delay which occurs during voice transmission using circuit data channel. And in order to overcome this kind of delay, the technique controlling the TCP control flag and the variable audio block construction algorithm according to the vocoder output rate are proposed. As a result of experimenting by applying the proposed method, we confirmed that the transit delay was improved with about average 70%.

Web services are the new building block of today's Internet, and provides interoperability among heterogeneous distributed systems. Recently in web services environment, security has become one of the most critical issues. The hackers attack one of fragile point and can misuse legitimate user privilege because all of the connected devices provide services for the user control and monitoring in real time. Also, the users of web services must temporarily delegate some or all of their rights to agents in order to perform actions on their behalf. This fact risks the exposure of user privacy information. In this paper, we propose secure delegation model based on SAML that provides confidentiality and integrity about the user information in distributed systems. In order to support privacy protection, service confidentiality, and assertion integrity, encryption and a digital signature mechanism is deployed. We build web service management server based on XACML, in order to manage services and policies of web service providers.

In the process of Log-In to the system, clear User authentication is the beginning of the information protection service. In the open communication system of today, it is true that a password as security instrument and the inner mechanism of the system and cryptography algorithm for the support of this are also poor. For this reason, this dissertation had a final aim to design the user authentication system, which offer the accuracy and safety. It used RSA and CBC mode of DES as cryptography algorithm and used the Challenge-Response scheme at a authentication protocol and designed the User authentication system to which user access using one time password, output of token to guarantee the safety of the authentication protocol. Alto by using the Public key cryptography algorithm, it could embody the more safe User authentication system.

This paper describes about the design concept and the architecture of an economic VPN system which can perform fast crypto operations with cheap cost. The essence of the proposed system architecture is consisting of the system with two companion chips dedicated to VPN: one chip is a multi-purpose network processor for security machine and the other is a crypto acceleration chip which encrypt and decrypt network packets in a high speed. This study also addresses about some realizations that is required for fast prototyping such as the porting of an operating system, the establishment of compiler tool chain, the implementation of device drivers and the design of IPSec security engine. Especially, the second chip supports the most time consuming block cipher algorithms including 3DES, AES, and SEED and its performance was evaluated.
