As the development of quantum computers becomes visible, the researches on post-quantum cryptography to alternate the present cryptography system have actively pursued. To substitute RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptosystem, post-quantum cryptography must also consider side channel resistance in implementation. In this paper, we propose a side channel analysis on NTRU, based on the implementation made public in the NIST standardization. Unlike the previous analysis which exploits a thousands of traces, the proposed attack can recover the private key using a single power consumption trace. Our attack not only reduces the complexity of the attack but also gives more possibility to analyze a practical public key cryptosystem. Furthermore, we suggested the countermeasure against our attacks. Our countermeasure is much more efficient than existing implementation.

There are many researches on fast exponentiation algorithm which is used to implement a public key cryptosystem such as RSA. On the other hand, the malicious attacker has tried various side-channel attacks to extract the secret key. In these attacks, an attacker uses the power consumption or electromagnetic radiation of cryptographic devices which is measured during computation of exponentiation algorithm. In this paper, we propose a novel simple power analysis attack on m-ary exponentiation implementation. The core idea of our attack on m-ary exponentiation with pre-computation process is that an attacker controls the input message to identify the power consumption patterns which are related with secret key. Furthermore, we implement the m-ary exponentiation on evaluation board and apply our simple power analysis attack to it. As a result, we verify that the secret key can be revealed in experimental environment.

With the general use of network, cyber terror rages throughout the world. However, IP Fragmentation isn\`t free from its security problem yet, even though it guarantees effective transmission of the IP package in its network environment. Illegal invasion could happen or disturb operation of the system by using attack mechanism such as IP Spoofing, Ping of Death, or ICMP taking advantage of defectiveness, if any, which IP Fragmentation needs improving. Recently, apart from service refusal attack using IP Fragmentation, there arises a problem that it is possible to detour packet filtering equipment or network-based attack detection system using IP Fragmentation. In the paper, we generate the real time access log file to make the system manager help decision support and to make the system manage itself in case that some routers or network-based attack detection systems without packet reassembling function could not detect or suspend illegal invasion with divided datagrams of the packet. Through the implementation of the self-managing system we verify its validity and show its future effect.

DNS spoofing is an attack in which an attacker intervenes in the communication between client and DNS server to deceive DNS server by responding to a fake IP address rather than actual IP address. It is possible to implement a pharming site that hacks user ID and password by duplicating web server's index page and simple web programming. In this paper we have studied web spoofing attack that combines DNS spoofing and pharming site implementation which leads to farming site. We have studied DNS spoofing attack method, procedure and farming site implementation method for portal server of this university. In the case of Kyungsung Portal, bypassing attack and hacking were possible even though the web server was SSL encrypted and secure authentication. Many web servers do not have security measures, and even web servers secured by SSL can be disabled. So it is necessary that these serious risks are to be informed and countermeasures are to be researched.

TCP-related Flooding attacks still dominate Distributed Denial of Service Attack. It is a great challenge to accurately detect the TCP flood attack in hish speed network. In this paper, we propose the NIC_Cookie logic implementation, which is a kind of security offload engine against TCP-related DDoS attacks, on network interface card. NIC_Cookie has robustness against DDoS attack itself and it is independent on server OS and external network configuration. It supports not IP-based response method but packet-level response, therefore it can handle attacks of NAT-based user group. We evaluate that the latency time of NIC_Cookie logics is $7{\times}10^{-6}$ seconds and we show 2Gbps wire-speed performance through a benchmark test.

Attacks have been proposed that use side information as timing measurements, power consumption, electromagnetic emissions and faulty hardware. Elimination side-channel information or prevention it from being used to attack a secure system is an tractive ares of research. In this paper, differential power analysis techniques to attack the DES are experimented and analyzed. And we propose the prevention of DPA attack by software implementation technique.

네트워크 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 생길 수 있는 공격유형중의 하나는 로그인 아이디, 패스워드와 같은 인증정보를 네트워크상에서 가로채는 것이다. 이러한 정보를 일단 획득하면 후에 언제든지 이용할 수 있게 되는 것이다. 일회용 패스워드 시스템은 이러한 “재공격(replay attack)”을 방어하기 위해 Bellcore사에 의해 고안되어졌다. 하지만 이 인증 시스템은 취약점을 가지고 있는데 만일 공격자가 자신이 가지고 있는 사전에서 passphrase를 유추해 낼 수 있다면 결국 SKEY의 결과값인 일회용 패스워드까지 알아낼 수 있게 된다. 따라서 이 passphrase를 보다 안전하게 사용자와 시스템간에 전달할 수 있게 하기 위해 EKE(Extended Key Exchange) 프로토콜을 사용하여 키의 스니퍼링 뿐만 아니라 dictionary attack을 방지하고자 하였다.

The surge in generic attacks execution against cipher text on the computer network has led to the continuous advancement of the mechanisms to protect information integrity and confidentiality. The implementation of explicit decision tree machine learning algorithm is reported to accurately classifier generic attacks better than some multi-classification algorithms as the multi-classification method suffers from detection oversight. However, there is a need to improve the accuracy and reduce the false alarm rate. Therefore, this study aims to improve generic attack classification by implementing two hybridized decision tree algorithms namely Naïve Bayes Decision tree (NBTree) and Logistic Model tree (LMT). The proposed hybridized methods were developed using the 10-fold cross-validation technique to avoid overfitting. The generic attack detector produced a 99.8% accuracy, an FPR score of 0.002 and an MCC score of 0.995. The performances of the proposed methods were better than the existing decision tree method. Similarly, the proposed method outperformed multi-classification methods for detecting generic attacks. Hence, it is recommended to implement hybridized decision tree method for detecting generic attacks on a computer network.

When implementing cryptographic algorithms in mobile devices like smart cards, the security against side-channel attacks should be considered. Side-channel attacks try to find critical information from the side-channel infromation obtained from the underlying cryptographic devices' execution. Especially, the power analysis attack uses the power consumption profile of the devices as the side-channel information. This paper proposes a new gate-level countermeasure against the power analysis attack and the glitch attack and suggests how to apply the measure to securely implement AES.
