In this paper, we design a lightweight embedded device that can support intelligent edge computing, and show that the device quickly detects an object in an image input from a camera device in real time. The proposed system can be applied to environments without pre-installed infrastructure, such as an intelligent video control system for industrial sites or military areas, or video security systems mounted on autonomous vehicles such as drones. The On-Device AI(Artificial intelligence) technology is increasingly required for the widespread application of intelligent vision recognition systems. Computing offloading from an image data acquisition device to a nearby edge device enables fast service with less network and system resources than AI services performed in the cloud. In addition, it is expected to be safely applied to various industries as it can reduce the attack surface vulnerable to various hacking attacks and minimize the disclosure of sensitive data.

With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), related network infrastructures require new technologies to protect against threats such as external hacking. This study proposes an L-PBFT consensus algorithm that can protect IoT networks based on a blockchain consensus algorithm. We designed a blockchain (private) model suitable for small networks, tested processing performance for ultra-small/low-power IoT devices, and verified stability. As a result of performance analysis, L-PBFT proved that at least the number of nodes complies with the operation of the consensus algorithm(minimum 14%, maximum 29%) and establishes a trust network(separation of secure channels) different from existing security protocols. This study is a 4th industry convergence research and will be a foundation technology that will help develop IoT device security products in the future.

As meters become digital and smart, energy data such as electricity, gas, heat, and water can be accurately and efficiently measured with a smart meter, providing consumers with data on energy used, so that real-time demand response and energy management services can be utilized. Although it is developing from a simple metering system to a smart metering industry to create a high value-added industry fused with ICT, illegal counterfeiting of electronic meters is causing problems in intelligent crimes such as manipulation and hacking of SW. The meter not only allows forgery of the meter data through arbitrary manipulation of the SW, but also leaves a fatal error in the metering performance, so that the OIML requires the validation of the SW from the authorized institution. In order to solve this problem, a quantitative confirmation device was developed in order to eradicate the act of cheating the fuel oil quantity through encoder pulse operation and program modulation, etc. In order to prevent the act of deceiving the lubricator, a device capable of checking pulse forgery was developed, manufactured, and verified. In addition, the performance of the device was verified by conducting an experiment on the meter being used in the actual field. It is judged that the developed quantitative confirmation device can be applied to other flow meters other than lubricators, and in this case, accurate measurement can be induced.

In the future, as autonomous vehicles become popular at home and abroad, the frequency of accidents involving autonomous vehicles is also expected to increase. In particular, when a fully autonomous vehicle is operated, various criminal/civil problems such as sexual violence, assault, and fraud between passengers may occur as well as the vehicle accident itself. In this case, forensics for accidents involving autonomous vehicles and accidents involving passengers in the vehicles are also about to change. This paper reviewed the types of security threats of autonomous vehicles, methods for maintaining the integrity of evidence data using blockchain technology, and research on digital forensics. Through this, it was possible to describe threats that would occur in autonomous vehicles using blockchain technology and forensic techniques for each type of accident in a scenario-type manner. Through this study, a block that helps forensics of self-driving vehicles before and after accidents by investigating forensic security technology of domestic and foreign websites to respond to vulnerabilities and attacks of autonomous vehicles, and research on block chain security of research institutes and information security companies. A chain method was proposed.

Small communication devices used in the Internet of Things are vulnerable to various hacking because they do not apply advanced encryption techniques due to their low memory capacity or slow computation speed. In order to increase the authentication reliability of small-sized transmitters operating in 433MHz band, we introduce an RF fingerprint and adopt a convolutional neural network (CNN) as a classification algorithm. The preamble signal transmitted by each transmitter are extracted and collected using software-defined-radio to constitute a training data set, which is used for training the CNN. We tested identification of 20 transmitters in four different scenarios and obtained high identification accuracy. In particular, the accuracy of 95.8% and 92.6% was obtained, respectively in the scenario where the test was performed at a location different from the transmitter's location at the time of collecting training data, and in the scenario where the transmitter moves at walking speed.

Recently, cyberattacks are using hacking techniques utilizing intelligent and advanced malicious codes for non-face-to-face environments such as telecommuting, telemedicine, and automatic industrial facilities, and the damage is increasing. Traditional information protection systems, such as anti-virus, are a method of detecting known malicious URLs based on signature patterns, so unknown malicious URLs cannot be detected. In addition, the conventional static analysis-based malicious URL detection method is vulnerable to dynamic loading and cryptographic attacks. This study proposes a technique for efficiently detecting malicious URLs by dynamically learning malicious URL data. In the proposed detection technique, malicious codes are classified using machine learning-based feature selection algorithms, and the accuracy is improved by removing obfuscation elements after preprocessing using Weighted Euclidean Distance(WED). According to the experimental results, the proposed machine learning-based malicious URL detection technique shows an accuracy of 89.17%, which is improved by 2.82% compared to the conventional method.

Self-authentication technology using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is drawing attention as a self-authentication technology that can replace existing bio-authentication. A device that recognizes a digital electronic key can be mounted on a vehicle to wirelessly exchange data with a car, and a function that can lock or unlock a car door or start a car by using a smartphone can be controlled through a smartphone. However, smart keys are vulnerable to security, so smart keys applied with bio-authentication technology were studied to solve this problem and provide driver convenience. A personal authentication algorithm using electrocardiogram was mounted on a watch-type wearable device to authenticate bio, and when personal authentication was completed, it could function as a smart key of a car. The certification rate was 95 per cent achieved. Drivers do not need to have a smart key, and they propose a smart key as an alternative that can safely protect it from loss and hacking. Smart keys using personal authentication technology using electrocardiogram can be applied to various fields through personal authentication and will study methods that can be applied to identification devices using electrocardiogram in the future.

Personal information leakage is very harmful as it can lead to additional attacks using leaked information as well as privacy invasion, and it is primarily caused by hacking server databases of institutions that collect and store personal information. We propose a scheme that allows a service-requesting user to authorize a secure delegated transfer of his personal information to the service provider via a reliable authority and enables only the two parties of the service to retrieve the provided information stored on a blockchain ensuring data confidentiality. It thus eliminates the necessity of storing customer information in the service provider's own database. As a result, the service provider can serve customers without requiring membership registration or storing personal information in the database, so that information leakage through the server database can be completely blocked. In addition, the scheme is free from the risk of information leakage and subsequent attacks through smartphones because it does not require a user's smartphone to store any authentication credential or personal information of its owner.
