  • Not only the recent hacking techniques are becoming more malicious with the sophisticated technology but also its consequences are bringing more damages as the broadband Internet is growing rapidly. These may include invasion of information leakage, or identity theft over the internet. Its intent is very destructive which can result in invasion of information leakage, hacking, one of the most disturbing problems on the net. This thesis describes the technology of how you can effectively analyze and detect these kind of E-Mail malicious codes. This research explains how we can cope with malicious code more efficiently by detection method.

  • Online game provides a kind of cyber money aden and game instruments, items in order to attract game users. Game users want stronger, better and higher-leveled items with competition. Demands and supplies on items are formed and the transactions are made. The problem is there happen frequently illegal behaviors in the process of transactions. Among these illegal behaviors, for using other's id and password without authorization and stealing items, rejecting to return assigned items, providing stolen item to other who knows the fact or destroying others' items, it is difficult to apply provisions on properties in the criminal code on them. Because the criminal code has a duty to prevent separation between substantial criminal behavior and regulations, it should reflect substantial cultures and values of the times. Therefore, property like items in cyber space can be considered as new property to need to be protect under the criminal code and it may be not an interpretation of expansion. The reason is it is practical and reasonable to judge whether propertiness can be established considering cyber space's unique characteristics. It is time to review propertiness of Article No. 346 according to the request of times of the digital age.

  • The proliferation of devices such as tablets and smart phones, which are now used by many people in their daily lives, has led to a number of companies allowing employees to bring their own devices to work due to perceived productivity gains and cost savings. However, despite many advantage, security breaches (e.g., information leakage) can happen for various reasons (e.g., loss or theft of devices, and malicious code) and privacy breaches can happen by using personal devices for business. We should carefully scrutinize security threats in this area. We present the security threats analysis and the technical approach in this area, and discuss privacy threats and countermeasures.

  • The wireless sensor networking standard DASH7 operates in low-power communication with a better transmission quality in active RFID networks. The DASH7 security standard supports public key cryptography. At present, the DASH7 standard uses the message authentication code in the network layer for authentication and integrity. However, its security standard is still in an incubation stage with respect to the implementation of a crypto exchange over a DASH7 network. Effective key management is an important factor for privacy and security. If organizations are not careful about where and how keys are stored, they leave the encrypted data vulnerable to theft. In this regard, we present a key management system designed for efficient key management through public key infrastructure authentication as well as a non-repudiation feature for the DASH7 standard. We analyze the performance of the proposed system on a basis of various performance criteria such as latency and throughput.

  • In February 2014 Korean Bar Association has amended Professional Ethics Code as to stipulate attorney's duty to protect personal information. While existing Korean law and Professional Ethics Code has made attorney to keep client's confidential information, attorney's newly promulgated obligation has its meaning in that personal information of subject other than client is not protected through confidentiality rules, given that confidentiality obligation is interpreted to protect only client's information relating to representation. Moreover, duty to protect personal information deals with not only disclosure and use of information, which confidentiality rules is about, but also collection and retention process, access to and correction and care of information and even destruction of information. Amid unprecedented theft of personal data in several national banks and other serious leakage reported recently, this paper is going to contemplate the scope and application of the duty to protect personal information with hope to contribute to starting discussion on it.

  • Android apps are mostly distributed as an apk files, and when the apk file is uncompressed, resource files such as xml files, images, and sounds related to app design can be extracted. If the resources of banking or finance-related apps are stolen and fake apps are distributed, personal information could be stolen or financial fraud may occur. Therefore, it is necessary to make it difficult to steal the design as well as the code when distributing the app. In this paper, we implemented a tool to convert the xml file into Java code and obfuscate using the Proguard, and evaluated the execution performance. If the layout obfuscation technique proposed in this paper is used, it is expected that the app operation performance can be improved and the illegal copying damage caused by the theft of the screen design can be prevented.

  • Recently, lots of research results on program comparison have been reported since the code theft become frequent as the increase of code mobility. This paper proposes a plagiarism detection method using class structures. The proposed method constructs a graph representing the referential relationship between the member variables and the methods. This relationship is shown as a bipartite graph and the test for graph isomorphism is applied on the set of graphs to measure the similarity of the programs. In order to measure the effectiveness of this method, an experiment was conducted on the test set, the set of Java source codes submitted as solutions for the programming assignments in Object-Oriented Programming course of Pusan National University in 2012. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method, the F-measure is compared to those of JPlag and Stigmata. According to the experimental result, the F-measure of the proposed method is higher than those of JPlag and Stigmata by 0.17 and 0.34, respectively.

  • Recently, there is significant increasing of massive attacks, which try to infect PCs that visit websites containing pre-implanted malicious code. When visiting the websites, these hidden malicious codes can gain monetary profit or can send various cyber attacks such as BOTNET for DDoS attacks, personal information theft and, etc. Also, this kind of malicious activities is continuously increasing, and their evasion techniques become professional and intellectual. So far, the current signature-based detection to detect websites, which contain malicious codes has a limitation to prevent internet users from being exposed to malicious codes. Since, it is impossible to detect with only blacklist when an attacker changes the string in the malicious codes proactively. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that can detect unknown malicious code, which is not well detected by a signature-based detection. Our method can detect new malicious codes even though the codes' signatures are not in the pattern database of Anti-Virus program. Moreover, our method can overcome various obfuscation techniques such as the frequent change of the included redirection URL in the malicious codes. Finally, we confirm that our proposed system shows better detection performance rather than MC-Finder, which adopts pattern matching, Google's crawling based malware site detection, and McAfee.

  • We have come a long way in the information age. Thanks to the advancement of such technologies as the internet, we have discovered new ways to convey information on a broader scope. However, negative aspects exist as is with anything else. These may include invasion of privacy over the web, or identity theft over the internet. What is more alarming is that malwares so called 'maliciouscodes' are rapidly spreading. Its intent is very destructive which can result in hacking, phishing and as aforementioned, one of the most disturbing problems on the net, invasion of privacy. This thesis describes the technology of how you can effectively analyze and detect these kind of malicious codes. We propose sequencial hybrid analysis for API calls that are hooked inside user-mode and kernel-level of Windows. This research explains how we can cope with malicious code more efficiently by abstracting malicious function signature and hiding attribute.
