This paper proposes an authentication protocol using the key server in the ECPglobai RFID system. The proposed authentication protocol uses the key server and the time-out mechanism to resist various attacks including DoS(Denial of Service) attack. For easy implementation, the proposed protocol also uses the function existing in EPCglobal class 1 gen2 protocol without additive function such as hash function. The proposed protocol is evaluated through two analytical methods. The correctness of the proposed protocol is proved using the GNY analysis. By the security analysis, this paper showed that the proposed protocol is resistant to various attacks including DoS attack. The analytical results demonstrated that the proposed protocol offered a secure RFID system.

This paper proposes an authentication protocol based on hash and AES safe from various types of attacks in order to assure the security of communication between tags and readers, which exchange data with each other wirelessly in a RFID system. The proposed authentication protocol resolves a problem in existing hash-based protocols whereby the same hidden value is generated for the same identification in each session. In order to hide tag identification information a number of complicated calculations were required, but using the proposed AES protocol reduces such calculations, strengthens security against replay attack, spoofing attack, traffic analysis, eavesdropping, etc. and assure mutual authentication between tags and readers.

Proliferation of cloud computing services brings about reduction of the maintenance and management costs by allowing data to be outsourced to a dedicated third-party remote storage. At the same time, the majority of storage service providers have adopted a data deduplication technique for efficient utilization of storage resources. When a hash tree is employed for duplicate identification as part of deduplication process, size information of the attested data and partial information about the tree can be deduced from eavesdropping. To mitigate such side channels, in this paper, a new duplicate identification method is presented by exploiting a multi-set hash function.

Recently, information systems that require storage and retrieval of huge amount of data are becoming used widely. Accordingly, research efforts have been made to develop Linux cluster file systems in the SAN environment in which clients themselves can manage metadata and access data directly. Also a semi-flat directory structure based on extendible hashing has been proposed to support fast retrieval of files[1]. In this research, we have designed and implemented the semi-flat extendible hash directory under the Linux system. In order to evaluate the practicality of the directory, we have also implemented the B+-tree based directory and experimented the performance. According to the performance comparisons, the extendible hash directory has the better performance at insert, delete, and search operations. On the other hand, the B+-tree directory is better at sorting files.

This paper describes an integrated H/W-S/W implementation of elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (EC-DSA) using a security system-on-chip (SoC). The security SoC uses the Cortex-A53 APU as CPU, and the hardware IPs of high-performance elliptic curve cryptography (HP-ECC) core and SHA3 (secure hash algorithm 3) hash function core are interfaced via AXI4-Lite bus protocol. The signature generation and verification processes of EC-DSA were verified by the implementation of the security SoC on a Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC device.

There have been found many modified malwares which could avoid detection simply by replacing a sequence of characters or a part of code. Since the existing anti-virus program performs signature-based analysis, it is difficult to detect a malware which is slightly different from the well-known malware. This paper suggests a method of detecting modified malwares by extending a hash-value based code comparison. We generated hash values for individual functions and individual code blocks as well as the whole code, and thus use those values to find whether a pair of codes are similar in a certain degree. We also eliminated some numeric data such as constant and address before generating hash values to avoid incorrectness incurred from them. We found that the suggested method could effectively find inherent similarity between original malware and its derived ones.

In the network coding, throughput can be increased by allowing the transformation of the received data at the intermediate nodes. However, the adversary can obtain more information at the intermediate nodes and make troubles for decoding of transmitted data at the sink nodes by modifying transmitted data at the compromised nodes. In order to resist the adversary activities, various information theoretic or cryptographic secure network coding schemes are proposed. Recently, a secure network coding based on the cryptographic hash function can be used at the random network coding. However, because of the computational resource requirement for cryptographic hash functions, networks with limited computational resources such as sensor nodes have difficulties to use the cryptographic solution. In this paper, we propose a new secure network coding scheme which uses linear transformations and table lookup and safely transmits n-1 packets at the random network coding under the assumption that the adversary can eavesdrop at most n-1 nodes. It is shown that the proposed scheme is an all-or-nothing transform (AONT) and weakly secure network coding in the information theory.

RFID, a non-contact wireless identification technology is being noticed as a technology to alternate barcode system in distribution industry and general industry. Despite of merit of RFID, there are issues to be solved for practical use. One of them, which are most important, is resolution of user's information protection. RFID system without security function bears risk exposing personal data and user's privacy. In this paper, we propose mutual authentication protocol for RFID system in order to solve this security issue. This study aimed to protect user's privacy by providing dynamic ID for tag through authentication protocol safe from security threats. Information being transmitted between backend, reader and tag has no direct connection with ID of tag, and it conducts authentication process using one-way hash function, which prevents attacker's obtaining of tag information using information being transmitted.

HAVAL is a dedicated hash function of the MD family which was proposed by Zheng et al.. HAVAL compresses a message of arbitrary length into a hash value of 128, 160, 192, 224, or 256 bits. HAVAL has a parameter that controls the number of passes a message block of 1024 bits is processed. A message block can be processed in 3,4, or 5 passes. When a message block is processed in three passes, we call such a case 3-pass HAVAL. So, there are three kinds of HAVAL: 3-pass HAVAL, 4-pass HAVAL, and 5-pass HAVAL. In this paper, we study the security of reduced versions of 3-pass HAVAL. We propose a method for finding the collisions for the first two passes of 3-pass HAVAL and for the last two passes of 3-pass HAVAL. This approach of reducing the number of passes is similar to the initial attacks on MD4. We represent the first two passes of 3-pass HAVAL as HAVAL-12 and the last two passes of 3-pass HAVAL as HAVAL-23.

본 논문에서는 기존의 네트워크 기반의 침입탐지 시스템에 존재하는 취약성을 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 현재 대부분의 룰 기반의 침입탐지 시스템에서는 룰 자체를 보호하기 위한 방법을 제공하지 못한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 해쉬함수를 이용하여 룰 자체에 대한 보호를 제공할 수 있는 기법을 Snort를 기반으로 제안한다.
