  • Nowadays NGN is developed for supporting the e-Commerce, Internet trading, e-Government, e-mail, virtual-life and multimedia. Internet gives us the benefit of remote access to the information but causes the attacks that can break server and modify information. Since 2000 Nimda, Code Red Virus and DSoS attacks are spreaded in Internet. This attack programs make tremendous traffic packets on the Internet. In this paper, we designed and developed the Bandwidth Controller in the gateway systems against the bandwidth saturation attacks. This Bandwidth con-troller is implemented in hardware chipset(FPGA) Virtex II Pro which is produced by Xilinx and acts as a policing function. We reference the TBF(Token Bucket Filter) in Linux Kernel 2.4 and implemented this function in HDL(Hardware Description Language) Verilog. This HDL code is synthesized in hardware chipset and performs the gigabit traffic in real time. This policing function can throttle the traffic at the rate of band width controlling policy in bps speed.

  • Recently, the cloud technology has made dynamical network changes by enabling the construction of a logical network without building a physical network. Despite recent research on the cloud, it is necessary to study security functions for the identification of fake virtual network functions and the encryption of communication between entities. Because the VNFs are open to subscribers and able to implement service directly, which can make them an attack target. In this paper, we propose a virtual public key infrastructure mechanism that detects a fake VNFs and guarantees data security through mutual authentication between VNFs. To evaluate the virtual PKI, we built a management and orchestration environment to test the performance of authentication and key generation for data security. And we test the detection of a distributed denial of service by using several AI algorithms to enhance the security in NFV.

  • Nowadays, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have gained increasing popularity and have been a major factor in a number of massive cyber-attacks. It could easily exhaust the computing and communicating resources of a victim within a short period of time. Therefore, we have to find the method to detect and prevent the DDoS attack. Recently, there have been some researches that provide the methods to resolve above problem, but it still gets some limitations such as low performance of detecting and preventing, scope of method, most of them just use on cloud server instead of network, and the reliability in the network. In this paper, we propose solutions for (1) handling multiple DDoS attacks from multiple IP address and (2) handling the suspicious attacks in the network. For the first solution, we assume that there are multiple attacks from many sources at a times, it should be handled to avoid the conflict when we setup the preventing rule to switches. In the other, there are many attacks traffic with the low volume and same destination address. Although the traffic at each node is not much, the traffic at the destination is much more. So it is hard to detect that suspicious traffic with the sampling based method at each node, our method reroute the traffic to another server and make the analysis to check it deeply.

  • Recently, Information-Centric Networking(ICN), different from traditional IP-based networking, has been highlighted. Content-Centric Networking(CCN), proposed by Van Jacobson, is a representative scheme of the ICN architectures. It can deliver messages slightly faster than the IP-based networking by focusing on the access and delivery to the content itself. However, CCN is restricted to distribute the information without transmitting the request packet in advance because it is pull-based architecture by content requester. In addition, it has a problem that the Pending Interest Table(PIT) could be overloaded easily when DDoS attack happens. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm using a push-based scheme without request packets and overcoming PIT overload situation by Interest Group Push Table(IGPT). The proposed scheme enables to transmit a large amount of content than an existing scheme during the same amount of time in terms of timely-delivery and security.

  • The Bot is a kind of worm/virus that can be used to launch the distributed denial-of-service(DDoS) attacks or send massive amount of spam e-mails, etc. A lot of organizations make an effort to counter the Botnet's attacks. In Korea, we use DNS sinkhole system to protect from the Botnet's attack, while in Japan "so called" CCC(Cyber Clean Center) has been developed to protect from the Botnet's attacks. But in case of DNS sinkhole system, there is a problem since it cannot cure the Bot infected PCs themselves and in case of CCC there is a problem since only 30% of users with the Botnet-infected PCs can cooperate to cure themself. In this paper we propose a new method that prevent the Botnet's attacks and cure the Bot-infected PCs at the same time.

  • Over the past years, Link Flooding Attacks (LFAs) have been introduced as new network threats. LFAs are indirect DDoS attacks that selectively flood intermediate core links, while legacy DDoS attacks directly targets end points. Flooding bandwidth in the core links results in that a wide target area is affected by the attack. In the traditional network, mitigating LFAs is a challenge since an attacker can easily construct a link map that contains entire network topology via traceroute. Security researchers have proposed many solutions, however, they focused on reactive countermeasures that respond to LFAs when attacks occurred. We argue that this reactive approach is limited in that core links are already exposed to an attacker. In this paper, we present SDHoneyNet that prelocates vulnerable links by computing static and dynamic property on Software-defined Networks (SDN). SDHoneyNet deploys Honey Topology, which is obfuscated topology, on the nearby links. Using this approach, core links can be hidden from attacker's sight, which leads to effectively building proactive method for mitigating LFAs.

  • With the enhancements in existing major industries, cloud computing-based converging services have been created, as well as value-added industries. A variety of converging services are now provided, from personalized services up to industrial services. In Korea, they have become the driving force behind existing industries throughout the whole economy, but mainly in finance, mobile systems, social computing, and home services, based on cloud services. However, not only denial of service (DOS) and distributed DOS (DDOS) attacks have occurred, but also attack techniques targeting core data in storage servers. Even security threats that are hardly detected, such as multiple attacks on a certain target, APT, and backdoor penetration have also occurred. To supplement defenses against these, in this article, a protocol for authority management is designed to provide users with safe storage services. This protocol was studied in cases of integration between a cloud environment and big data-based technology, security threats, and their requirements. Also studied were amalgamation examples and their requirements in technology-based cloud environments and big data. With the protocol suggested, based on this, security was analyzed for attack techniques that occur in the existing cloud environment, as well as big data-based techniques, in order to find improvements in session key development of approximately 55%.

  • Recently, as the serious damage caused by DDoS attacks increases, the rapid detection and the proper response mechanisms are urgent. However, existing security mechanisms do not effectively defend against these attacks, or the defense capability of some mechanisms is only limited to specific DDoS attacks. In this paper, we propose a detection architecture against DDoS attack using data mining technology that can classify the latest types of DDoS attack, and can detect the modification of existing attacks as well as the novel attacks. This architecture consists of a Misuse Detection Module modeling to classify the existing attacks, and an Anomaly Detection Module modeling to detect the novel attacks. And it utilizes the off-line generated models in order to detect the DDoS attack using the real-time traffic. We gathered the NetFlow data generated at an access router of our network in order to model the real network traffic and test it. The NetFlow provides the useful flow-based statistical information without tremendous preprocessing. Also, we mounted the well-known DDoS attack tools to gather the attack traffic. And then, our experimental results show that our approach can provide the outstanding performance against existing attacks, and provide the possibility of detection against the novel attack.
