A smart grid networks delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology with two-way communications to control appliances at consumers' homes to save energy, reduce cost and increase reliability and transparency. Security is critically important for smart grid networks that are usually used for the electric power network and IT environments that are opened to attacks, such as, eavesdroping, replay attacks of abnormal messages, forgery of the messages to name a few. ZigBee has emerged as a strong contender for smart grid networks. ZigBee is used for low data rate and low power wireless network applications. To deploy smart grid networks, the collected information requires protection from an adversary over the network in many cases. The security mechanism should be provided for collecting the information over the network. However, the ZigBee protocol has some security weaknesses. In this paper, these weaknesses are discussed and a method to improve security aspect of the ZigBee protocol is presented along with a comparison of the message complexity of the proposed security protocol with that of the current ZigBee protocol.

Authentication mechanisms coupled with strong encryption techniques are used for network security purposes; however, given sufficient time, well-equipped intruders are successful for compromising system security. The authentication protocols often fail when they are analysed critically. Formal approaches have emerged to analyse protocol failures. In this study, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) which is an abstract language designed especially for the description of communication patterns is employed. Rank functions are also used for verification and analysis which are helpful to establish that some critical information is not available to the intruder. In order to establish this, by assigning a value or rank to each critical information, it is shown that all the critical information that can be generated within the network have a particular characterizing property. This paper presents an application of rank functions approach to an authentication protocol that combines delaying the decryption process with timed authentication while keys are dynamically renewed under pseudo-secure situations. The analysis and verification of authentication properties and results are presented and discussed.

The SSL(Secure Socket Layer) protocol is one of the mechanism widely used in the recent network system. The improved information security mechanism based on the SSL is designed in this paper. There are important four information security services. The first is the authentication service using the Certificate offered from the SSL(Secure Socket Layer), the second is the message confidentiality service using the DES encryption algorithm, the third is the message integrity service using Hash function, and the fourth is Non-repudiation service. Therefore, information could be transferred securely under the information security mechanism including Non-repudiation service especially designed in this paper.

A established military security tast based on existing manual and off-line needs the change and development to support effective and systematic task performance according to environment change of informational and scientific project in the military. Therefore this study suggests to set up the standard model of the defense integrated security system to automate and informationize major defense security task based on actual and problem in the area of major defense of security task and case analysis of these in America, England and other countries. The standard model consist of unit systems were made up integrated security system, security management system, man entrance system, vehicle entrance system, high-tech guard system, terror prevention system and the security accident analysis system, and this suggested model based on possible technology and system. If this model is apply to each real military unit, we will expect the development of defense security.

The Sambodana project is a mobile communication security system development project using Hardening Android. The initial idea for this project is that information leakage occurs outside of a communications application with end-to-end cryptographic security. Android hardening prevents unwanted applications and bloatware from being installed, such as unavailable Google Play Store or install restrictions.

The intent is to determine whether or not the custody transfer is helpful for data transmission in challenging underwater communications when running Bundle protocol or underwater protocols. From the point of view defending side, Underwater Acoustic Network (UAN) will be a serious threat for its strong functionality long rang and high precision of surveillance and detection. Therefore, countermeasures must be taken to weaken its effect. Our purpose is analyzed that how to benefit from the UIoT to learn from, exploit and preserve the natural underwater resources. Delay/Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) is essential part of the network heterogeneity communication network. The vulnerability and potential security factors of UIoT are studied thereafter. Security mechanisms for an underwater environment are difficult to apply owing to the limited bandwidth. Therefore, for underwater security, appropriate security mechanisms and security requirements must be defined simultaneously. The paper consists of mathematical and security model. Most important point of view in the security challenges of effective Buffer and Storage management in DTN.

The threats to privacy and security have received increasing attention as ubiquitous healthcare applications over the Internet become more prevalent, mobile and universal. In particular, we address the communication security issues of access sharing of health information resources in the ubiquitous healthcare environment. The proposed scheme resolves the sender and data authentication problem in information systems and group communications. We propose a novel key management scheme for generating and distributing cryptographic keys to constituent users to provide form of data encryption method for certain types of data concerning resource constraints for secure communications in the ubiquitous healthcare domains.

대부분의 안전한 운영체제는 주체와 객체에 보안 등급을 부여하여 운영하는 다중등급 정책(MLP: Multi-Level Policy)을 수용하고 있으며, BLP 모델은 이 정책을 표현하는 검증된 대표적인 모델이다. 하지만 이러한 다중 등급 보안 운영체제들은 접근 주체인 프로세스가 접근 객체로서 존재하는 등급화 된 프로그램을 실행 시 새로운 프로세스를 위한 보안 등급을 부여해야 하는데, 접근 주체와 접근 객체의 보안 등급이 다를 경우 보안 등급 결정 문제가 발생하며 정보보호의 목적에 위배되는 결과가 발생한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 위에 언급된 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방안을 BLP 모델 측면에서 고찰한다.
