In hashing-based image retrieval, the hash code of a manipulated image is different from the original image, making it difficult to search for the same image. This paper proposes and evaluates a self-supervised deephashing model that generates perceptual hash codes from feature information such as texture, shape, and color of images. The comparison models are autoencoder-based variational inference models, but the encoder is designed with a fully connected layer, convolutional neural network, and transformer modules. The proposed model is a variational inference model that includes a SimAM module of extracting geometric patterns and positional relationships within images. The SimAM module can learn latent vectors highlighting objects or local regions through an energy function using the activation values of neurons and surrounding neurons. The proposed method is a representation learning model that can generate low-dimensional latent vectors from high-dimensional input images, and the latent vectors are binarized into distinguishable hash code. From the experimental results on public datasets such as CIFAR-10, ImageNet, and NUS-WIDE, the proposed model is superior to the comparative model and analyzed to have equivalent performance to the supervised learning-based deephashing model. The proposed model can be used in application systems that require low-dimensional representation of images, such as image search or copyright image determination.

In order to protect information asset from various malicious code, Honeypot system is implemented. Honeypot system is designed to elicit attacks so that internal system is not attacked or it is designed to collect malicious code information. However, existing honeypot system is designed for the purpose of collecting information, so it is designed to induce inflows of attackers positively by establishing disguised server or disguised client server and by providing disguised contents. In case of establishing disguised server, it should reinstall hardware in a cycle of one year because of frequent disk input and output. In case of establishing disguised client server, it has operating problem such as procuring professional labor force because it has a limit to automize the analysis of acquired information. To solve and supplement operating problem and previous problem of honeypot's hardware, this thesis suggested hybrid honeypot. Suggested hybrid honeypot has honeywall, analyzed server and combined console and it processes by categorizing attacking types into two types. It is designed that disguise (inducement) and false response (emulation) are connected to common switch area to operate high level interaction server, which is type 1 and low level interaction server, which is type 2. This hybrid honeypot operates low level honeypot and high level honeypot. Analysis server converts hacking types into hash value and separates it into correlation analysis algorithm and sends it to honeywall. Integrated monitoring console implements continuous monitoring, so it is expected that not only analyzing information about recent hacking method and attacking tool but also it provides effects of anticipative security response.

In order to prevent tampering and reverse engineering of executive code, this paper propose a new tamper resistant software mechanism. This paper presents a cryptographic MAC function and a relationship which has its security level derived by the importance of code block instead of by merely getting the encryption and decryption key from the previous block. In this paper, we propose a cryptographic MAC function which generates a dynamic MAC function key instead of the hash function as written in many other papers. In addition, we also propose a relationships having high, medium and low security levels. If any block is determined to have a high security level then that block will be encrypted by the key generated by the related medium security level block. The low security block will be untouched due to efficiency considerations. The MAC function having this dynamic key and block relationship will make analyzing executive code more difficult.

Compared with the existing bar code system, RFID system has lots of advantages such as it identifies automatically massive objects. We might anticipate RFID technology will be a substitution for an optical bar code system in the near future. However, their feature that uses radio waves may cause various security problems. Many kinds of solutions have been researched to overcome these security problems. In this paper, we analyze the previous proposed protocols. And then, we categorize RFID authentication into two types according to the synchronization requirement between a Back-end Database and a Tag. In addition, we introduce the previous proposed approaches to tag search problem in RFID authentication. And we propose an efficient method which provides fast tag search by using membership test algorithm, a Bloom filter.

암호학적으로 안전한 해쉬 함수는 디지털 서명, 메시지 인증, 키 유도와 같은 분야에서 중요한 암호 도구이다 현재까지 제안된 소프트웨어로 고속 수행이 가능한 해쉬 함수들의 대부분은 Rivest가 제안한 MD4의 설계 원리에 기반을 두고 있다. 이들 MD 계열 해쉬 함수 중에서 현재 안전하다고 알려진 전용 해쉬 함수는 SHA-1, RIPEMD-160, HAVAL 등이다. 본 논문에서는 이들 세 가지 해쉬 함수들의 장점에 기반하여 이들 함수들이 가지는 안전성을 최대한 유지하면서 보다 효율적인 새로운 해쉬 함수를 제안한다. 제안된 해쉬 함수는 임의 길이 메시지를 512비트 단위로 처리하여 160비트의 출력을 가지며, 입력 데이터에 의존한 순환이동(data-dependent rotation)의 특징을 가짐으로써 기존에 알려진 공격에 강인함을 보장한다. 또한 제안된 해쉬 함수를 이용한 메시지 인증 코드(Message Authentication Code:MAC) 구성 알고리즘을 제안한다 MAC은 두 번째 입력, 즉 비밀키를 가진 해쉬 함수로 keyed 해쉬 함수라고 하며, 메시지 출처 인증과 무결성 확인을 제공한다. 제안된 MAC은 최대 160-비트의 키를 사용하며 해쉬 결과보다 같거나 적은 MAC 결과를 가지며, 성능 면에서 사용되는 해쉬 함수에 비해 약 10% 정도의 저하를 초래한다.

공개키 연산을 이용하는 고액 지불 시스템(Macro Payment System)은 높은 수수료로 인해 경제성이 맞지 않아 소액 지불(Micro Payment)에는 적합하지 않다. 해쉬 연산을 이용한 PayWord 프로토콜은 저렴한 메커니즘 비용과 신속한 트랜잭션 처리, 거래과정에서 브로커의 오프라인 참여로 소액 대금 결재에 적합하다. 그러나 특정 상점에만 사용 가능한 화폐가치를 포함하여, 사용자가 거래하는 상점이 많아지면 관리 저장해야 하는 해쉬 체인의 수가 늘어나는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 전자화폐에 해당하는 해쉬 체인을 하나만 생성하여 여러 상점들에 안전한 지불을 수행하는 개선된 소액 지불 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 지불과정에 MAC(Message Authentication Code)을 이용한 해쉬 간을 추가하여, 상점들의 공모 및 악의적인 수정을 방지한다. 따라서 사용자는 하나의 해쉬 체인만을 생성함으로써 기존의 PayWord보다 계산부담이 줄고, 여러 상점들과의 일시적인 거래관계에서도 효율적인 지불을 수행한다.

This paper discusses on the implementation of blockchain system, specifically the private system for Energy trading purpose. Blockchain is records bundled together in blocks and added to the chain after ledger is generated. All the blocks in the entire networks should be same contents and also only the permitted nodes can join the chain in the private blockchain system, thus not that same block and permitted nodes cannot be accepted in terms of proof-of-work phase. We implement the all stages which are necessary to process blockchain system. After coding the whole process, we test and conclude that the system is correctly working in terms of the functions implemented.

Digital watermarking is a technique used to hide information within digital media. Digital watermarking techniques can be classified as either robust watermarking or fragile watermarking. Robust watermarking techniques are generally used for the purpose of copyright protection. In addition, fragile watermarking techniques are used for the authentication and integrity verification of a digital image. Therefore, fragile watermarks should be easily breakable for trivial tampering of a watermarked image. This paper proposes an efficient fragile watermarking method for image tamper detection in the spatial domain. In the proposed method, a hash code and symmetric key encryption algorithm are used. The proposed method of inserting a watermark by dividing the original image into many blocks of small sizes is not weak against attacks, such as cut and paste. The proposed method can detect the manipulated parts of a watermarked image without testing the entire block of the image.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology, automatic identification and data capture technologies in ubiquitous computing is an essential skill. Low-cost Radio Frequency Identification tags using memory and no physical contact due to the ease of use and maintenance of excellence are going to use expanded. However, it is possible to the illegal acquisition of the information between RFID tags and readers because RFID uses the RF signal, and the obtained information can be used for the purpose of location tracking and invasion of privacy. In this paper, we proposed the security scheme to protect against the illegal user location tracking and invasion of privacy. The security scheme proposed in this paper, using Gray Code and reduced the capacity of the calculation of the actual tags, However, it is impossible for the malicious attacker to track information because tag information transmitted from the reader is not fixed. Therefore, even if the tags information is obtained by a malicious way, our scheme provides more simple and safe user privacy than any other protection methods to protect user privacy, because not actual information but encrypted information is becoming exposed.

VDL-SL (Vienna Development Method-Specification Language) is one of the FSL(Formal Specification Language) which is being presented for the correct description of the security relevant standards. Several tools are being developed for the correctness and the convenience in the description and executable code generation of security relevant standards using VDM-SL. The IFAD VDM-SL Toolbox is one that has many functions : syntax checking, type checking, c++ code generation, test coverage information. This paper describes a formal method for description and implementation of MD4 algorithm using VDM-SL and IFAD VDM-SL Toolbox, and examines the result applied to secure hash algorithm, and proposes the relation to strict conformance test which recently suggested as a security test method.
