Cross-Site Request Forgery is one of the attack techniques occurring in today's Web Applications. It allows an unauthorized attacker to send authorized requests to Web Server through end-users' browsers. These requests are approved by the Web Server as normal requests therefore unexpected results arise. The problem is that the Web Server verifies an end-user using his Cookie information. In this paper, we propose an enhanced CSRF defense scheme which uses Page Identifier and user password's hash value in addition to the Cookie value which is used to verify the normal requests. Our solution is simple to implement and solves the problem of the token disclosure when only a random token is used for normal request verification.

As use of web applications and web-based information systems increases, so web application attacks are increasing. Recently, XSRF(Gross Site Request Forgery) attacks among a variety of web attacks become important because victim's damage caused by such attacks can be severe. But adding security functions for preventing XSRF attacks to existing developed and running software systems could affect move dangerous and expensive to companies and organizations. We suggest effectively adding these security functions to legacy systems, could separate concerns using advantage of the modularity offered by AOP(Aspect-Oriented Programming) methodology. In this paper, we have presented approach for detecting and preventing XSRF in JEE systems using aspect of AOP.

웹 애플리케이션 해킹 방법인 CSRF(Cross Site Request Forgery) 공격은 2008년 2월에 온라인 경매사이트인 옥션에서의 1800만명의 개인정보를 유출 사고 피해를 입힌 공격이다. OWASP(Open Web Application Security Project)에서는 이 공격의 해결방안으로 동기화되고 고유한 토큰 값을 생성하여 페이지 요청 시에 이를 검증하는 시스템을 권고하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이 공격을 방어하기 위한 방법으로 타임스탬프와 사용자 고유의 값인 전자서명을 토큰형태로 생성하여 Hidden Field에 삽입함으로써 검증하는 기법에 대해 연구하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 신재생에너지의 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 풍력발전의 ICT 환경을 조사하고 최신해킹사례를 분석하여, 예상되는 보안위협을 도출하였다. 이 중 가장 영향도가 높은 보안위협요소로 CSRF(Cross-Site Request Forgery) 공격을 선정하고 공격을 방어할 수 있는 인증강화모델을 제안하였다. 우선, 풍력발전 관련한 국제표준화 동향 및 대형제작사 구현실태를 살펴보고 CSRF 공격 예방을 위한 선행연구를 조사하였다. 선행연구의 이점을 접목하고 약점을 강화하여 재인증, CAPTCHA, OTP(One Time Password)와 같은 인증방식을 주요명령수행 구간에 임의로 표출시켜 인증시점의 불확실성(Entropy)을 높여 공격자가 쉽게 예측하지 못하도록 하였다. 명령수행과정의 일관성(고정성)이 매회 변화되므로 고정화된 형태의 CSRF 공격을 예방할 수 있다.

Zeroboard is a public bulletin board that can support PHP and MySQL. It has been used by many people because it is easy to use, but there is no more updates after Zeroboard4. So, there is a problem that its administrator will have nothing to do about it if zeroboard has a vulnerability. In this paper, we will discuss about CSRF(Cross Site request Forgery) which is developed and expanded by XSS(Cross Site Scripting). Also, we will find CSRF attacks and suggest an alternative method using VM-ware. The main features and contributions of the proposed method are as follows. First, make an environment construction using VM-ware and other tools. Second, analyze and prepare vulnerabilities using Proxy server. Performance evaluation will be conducted by applying possible countermeasure.

It is difficult to identify attack requests from normal ones when those attacks are based on CSRF which enables an attacker transmit fabricated requests of a trusted user to the website. For the protection against the CSRF, there have been a lot of research efforts including secret token, custom header, proxy, policy model, CAPTCHA, and user reauthentication. There remains, however, incapacitating means and CAPTCHA and user reauthentication incur user inconvenience. In this paper, we propose a method to detect CSRF attacks by analyzing the structure of websites and the usage patterns. Potential victim candidates are selected and website usage patterns according to the structure and usage logs are analyzed. CSRF attacks can be detected by identifying normal usage patterns. Also, the proposed method does not damage users' convenience not like CAPTCHA by requiring user intervention only in case of detecting abnormal requests.

The conversion of the international standard web utilization HTML5 technology is being developed for improvement of the internet environment based on nonstandard technology like ActiveX. Hyper Text Markup Language 5 (HTML5) of basic programming language for creating a web page is designed to consider the security more than HTML4. However, the range of attacks increased and a variety of security threats generated from HTML4 environment inherited by new HTML5 API. In this paper, we focus on the script-based attack such as CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery), Cookie Sniffing, and HTML5 API such as CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing), Geolocation API related with the infringement of the personal information. We reproduced the infringement cases actually and embodied a detection module of a Plug-in type diagnosed based on client. The scanner allows it to detect and respond to the vulnerability of HTML5 previously, thereby self-diagnosing the reliability of HTML5-based web applications or web pages. In a case of a new vulnerability, it also easy to enlarge by adding another detection module.
