Smart grid system has been deployed fast despite of legal, business and technology problems in many countries. One important problem in deploying the smart grid system is to protect private smart meter readings from the unbelievable parties while the major smart meter functions are untouched. Privacy-preserving involves some challenges such as hardware limitations, secure cryptographic schemes and secure signal processing. In this paper, we focused particularly on the smart meter reading aggregation,which is the major research field in the smart meter privacy-preserving. We suggest a noisy weighted aggregation scheme to guarantee differential privacy. The noisy weighted values are generated in such a way that their product is one and are used for making the veiled measurements. In case that a Diffie-Hellman generator is applied to obtain the noisy weighted values, the noisy values are transformed in such a way that their sum is zero. The advantage of Diffie and Hellman group is usually to use 512 bits. Thus, compared to Paillier cryptosystem series which relies on very large key sizes, a significant performance can be obtained.

최근 데이터를 공개할 때 프라이버시를 보호하기 위한 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 그 중 차분 프라이버시(differential privacy)는 최소성 공격 등에 대해서도 안전함이 증명된 익명화 기법이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 차분 프라이버시 -평균 클러스터링 알고리즘의 성능을 개선하고 실생활 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 이를 검증한다.

최근 정보 기술의 급격한 발전으로 스마트폰이 우리의 일상 생활에 점점 더 많이 들어오고 있으며, 사용자들은 많은 서비스들을 누릴 수 있게 되었다. 위치 기반 서비스(LBS)의 경우 스마트폰에 탑재된 위치 확인 기능을 통해 음식점 추천, 길찾기 등 개인형 맞춤 서비스를 제공하며, 사용자는 간단한 동의를 통해 자신의 위치를 LBS 서버에 전송하게 된다. 이는 사용자의 개인정보 침해의 요소가 될 수 있으며, 사용자의 민감한 정보가 공개될 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자의 경로 데이터의 민감 정점을 보호하고, 통계적 질의를 할 때, 절대적으로 개인정보를 보호할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper, we introduce improved differential and linear attacks on the SMS4 block cipher which is used in the Chinese national standard WAPI (WLAN Authentication and Privacy Infrastructure, WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network): First, we introduce how to extend previously known differential attacks on SMS4 from 20 or 21 to 22 out of the full 32 rounds. Second, we improve a previously known linear attack on 22-round reduced SMS4 from $2^{119}$ known plaintexts, $2^{109}$ memory bytes, $2^{117}$ encryptions to $2^{117}$ known plaintexts, $2^{l09}$ memory bytes, $2^{112.24}$ encryptions, by using a new linear approximation.

비식별화 모델은 데이터 공유를 위한 모델로 원본데이터를 비식별화 변환 처리하여 개인정보를 보호함과 동시에 분석에 필요한 데이터를 외부에 제공하는 모델로 연구되어 왔다. 변환 방법으로는 삭제, 일반화, 범주화 기술 등이 주로 사용되며 변환 과정 중에는 재식별 가능성을 최소화하기 위해 k-익명성, l-다양성, t-근접성 혹은 differential privacy 등의 프라이버시 모델이 적용되고 있다. 하지만 변환된 비식별 데이터 세트는 필연적으로 원본 데이터 세트와 다른 값을 가지며 이는 결과적으로 최종 분석 결과에 영향을 주게 된다. 이를 위해 두 데이터 세트 간의 차이를 상이도(dissimilarity) 혹은 정보 손실율(information loss)이라는 지표로 측정 하고 있으며 본 지표는 비식별 데이터의 활용성을 평가 하는 데에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 비식별 데이터와 원본 데이터와 간의 차이를 도메인 기반의 절대적인 기준대비로 표현한 상이도 측정 방법을 제안하며, 그 유효성을 실데이터 기반의 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that interconnects millions of small devices to enable communication between the devices. It is heavily deployed across small scale to large scale industries because of its wide range of applications. These devices are very capable of transferring data over the internet including critical data in few applications. Such data is exposed to various security threats and thereby raises privacy-related concerns. Even devices can be compromised by the attacker. Modern cryptographic algorithms running on traditional machines provide authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation in an easy manner. IoT devices have numerous constraints related to memory, storage, processors, operating systems and power. Researchers have proposed several hardware and software implementations for addressing security attacks in lightweight encryption mechanism. Several works have made on lightweight block ciphers for improving the confidentiality by means of providing security level against cryptanalysis techniques. With the advances in the cipher breaking techniques, it is important to increase the security level to much higher. This paper, focuses on securing the critical data that is being transmitted over the internet by PRESENT using key-based dynamic S-Box. Security analysis of the proposed algorithm against other lightweight block cipher shows a significant improvement against linear and differential attacks, biclique attack and avalanche effect. A novel key-based dynamic S-Box approach for PRESENT strongly withstands cryptanalytic attacks in the IoT Network.

As a becoming era of Internet-of-Things, various devices are connected via wire or wirless networks. Although every day life is more convenient, security problems are also increasing such as privacy, information leak, denial of services. Since ECC, a kind of public key cryptosystem, has a smaller key size compared to RSA, it is widely used for environmentally constrained devices. The key of ECC in constrained devices can be exposed to power analysis attacks during scalar multiplication operation. In this paper, a key-randomization method is suggested for scalar multiplication on SECG parameters. It is against differential power analysis and has operational efficiency. In order to increase of operational efficiency, the proposed method uses the property 2^lP=∓cP where the constant c is small compared to the order n of SECG parameters and n=2^l±c. The number of operation for the Coron's key-randomization scalar multiplication algorithm is 21, but the number of operation for the proposed method in this paper is (3/2)l. It has efficiency about 25% compared to the Coron's method using full random numbers.

In this paper, we suggest an algorithm that allows us to extract the important obbject from motion pictures and then replace the background with arbitrary images. The suggested technique can be used not only for protecting privacy and reducing the size of data to be transferred by removing the background of each frame, but also for replacing the background with user-selected image in video communication systems including mobile phones. Because of the relatively large size of image data, digital image processing usually takes much of the resources like memory and CPU. This can cause trouble especially for mobile video phones which typically have restricted resources. In our experiments, we could reduce the requirements of time and memory for processing the images by restricting the search area to the vicinity of major object's contour found in the previous frame based on the fact that the movement of major object is not wide or rapid in general. Specifically, we detected edges and used the edge image of the initial frame to locate candidate-object areas. Then, on the located areas, we computed the difference image between adjacent frames and used it to determine and trace the major object that might be moving. And then we computed the contour of the major object and used it to separate major object from the background. We could successfully separate major object from the background and replate the background with arbitrary images.
