  • Recently, more users have been using IoT embedded systems. Since the wireless network function is a basic and core function in most embedded systems, new security threats and weaknesses are expected to occur. In order to resolve these threats, it is necessary to investigate the security issues in the development stages according to the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). This study analyzes the vulnerabilities of the embedded systems equipped with the wireless network function, and derives possible security threats and how dangerous such threats are. We present security risks including bypassing the authentication stage required for accessing to the embedded system.

  • Recently, the security requirements of the embedded system which were not considered when the embedded system is independently deployed are being increased because the embedded system is connected to an internet. The connection to the internet of embedded system is the meaning that it is exposed to the various kinds of external attack and can be a victim to these attacks in anytime. Particularly, it is trend that the user-related information is stored into the personal terminals and/or electrical appliances such as PDA, home gateway for home network, settop boxes and so on. So it is needed the security mechanism which protects the user information from the malicious accesses. Accordingly, the coverage of the system security is being expanded from the general server to the embedded system. And it is not enough that the embedded system supports only its inherent functions and it becomes the essential element to provide the security function to the embedded system. This paper applies the RBAC(role-based access control) function to the embedded linux OS and tries to strengthen the security of the embedded linux OS. RBAC is implemented as a loadable kernel module with LSM(Linux Security Module) security framework for user's flexibility.

  • In this paper, we propose the integrated security management framework supporting the trust for the ubiquitous environments. The proposed framework provides the gathering and analysis of the security related information including the location of mobile device and then dynamically configures the security policy and adopts them. More specially, it supports the authentication and delegation service to support the trusted security management for the ubiquitous networks. This system also provides the visible management tools to give the convenient view for network administrator.

  • As the amount of flash memory being used in embedded device is increased and embedded devices become more important in many computing environments, embedded file system security becomes more important issue. Moreover embedded devices can be easily stolen or lost because of it's high portability. If the lost embedded device has very important information, there's no means to protect it except data encryption. For improving embedded devices' security this paper propose design and implementation of flash cryptographic file system. For this purpose YAFFS is used. By the modified YAFFS cryptographic file system, the security of embedded devices can be improved.

  • Currently embedded system has been widespreadly used in digital Set-top box, mobile phone, USN, etc and the significance of security has been increased due to be necessarily embedded in these all system. In this paper we propose new integrity verification scheme among the main security requirements in target system based on the korea TTA standard, security reference model for embedded operating system, published in december 2006. Moreover the proposed scheme is more effective than the previous scheme, Jung, et al.[2,6].

  • In this paper, H.235 based security mechanism for H.323 multimedia applications was implemented in embedded environment. H.235 covers authentication using HMAC-SHAI -96, authenticated Diffie-Hellman key exchange, security capability exchange, session key management for voice encryption, and encryption functions such as DES, 3DES, RC2. H.235-based mechanisms were also analyzed in terms of its security and possible attacks.

  • A cyber-physical system(CPS) is a collection of cyber and physical components that interact with each other to achieve a particular application. Here, the CPS is emerged the reliability and security problems. Particularly, the defect of reliability in the data/control transmission under the CPS can lead to serious damage. We discuss the reliability and security problem on CPS architecture. Then we would suggest the considerations of cyber security in industrial control systems built with CPS.

  • Traditionally embedded microprocessors is considered as a device for low- and simple-computations because of its limited computing power and constrained resources. However high-end embedded devices have been developed and many applications are getting feasible in the embedded devices. To provide secure and robust service environments, security on embedded devices are in order. Recently many research results on embedded devices have been proposed. In this paper, we explore various cryptography implementation results on representative 8-, 16- and 32-bit embedded processors including AVR, MSP and ARM. This report would be helpful for following researchers who are interested in cryptography implementation techniques on resource constrained devices.

  • In the era of the 4th industrial revolution symbolized by the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, various embedded devices are increasing exponentially. These devices have communication functions despite their low specifications, so the possibility of personal information leakage is increasing, and security threats are also increasing. Embedded devices can have security issues at most levels, from hardware to services over the network. In addition, it is difficult to apply general security techniques because it has characteristics of resource constraints such as low specifications and low power, and the related technology has not been standardized. In this study, we present vulnerabilities and possible problems and considerations in applying SDN to embedded devices in consideration of structural characteristics and real-world discovered cases. This study presents vulnerabilities and possible problems and considerations when applying SDN to embedded devices. From a hardware perspective, we consider the problems of Wi-Fi chips and Bluetooth, the problems of open flow implementation, SDN controllers, and examples of structural properties. SDN separates the data plane and the control plane, and provides a standardized interface between the two, enabling efficient communication control. It can respond to the security limitations of existing network technologies that are difficult to respond to rapid changes.

  • Even though the Internet applications such as e-mail and FTP are widely used, fax is still an important media for data communications till today. Many researches on security over the Internet data communication have been done over the years, on the other hand not many researches have been dedicated to the fax security issue which is as important as the Internet. In this paper, we describe the development of hardware and software of the embedded security fax server which increases the security in supporting existing fax. The developed system is designed and implemented to maintain security while minimizing the delay due to encryptionㆍdecryption. Since there's international or domestic tryptographic standard and each nation have their policy to restrict the use of cryptographic system, we adopt domestic standard cryptographic protocol admitted in Korea. And the system supports two modes: Security mode and Non-Security mode that user can choose from. The system can be applied directly which is the requirements of users at company ,End the government. We verify the performance and functioning of the system in various real environment.
