  • While the internet has evolved in terms of information sharing and efficiency, it is still prone to security attacks and remains vulnerable even when equipped with a security mechanism. Repeated patching against hacks involves excessive wear of system equipment and high costs. Methods of improving network security include the introduction of security equipment and network partitions, but they have not been fully effective. A fundamental solution is the Operation Content Network (OCN), which enables the strengthening of authentication. In this paper, Instead of following the existing TCP/IP system, OCN establishes an immunity-based security system through content-centric communications. Data transmission occurs over a Content Centric Network (CCN), which is provided with a protocol verified by the CCNx group. Areas protected by OCN rely only on CCN for communication without using any IP. As such, it defends the system against unknown attacks, including zero-day attacks.

  • As the side effects of information society, for example hacking, virus, etc., diffuse, the information security becomes one of the most important issues over the world. Information security manpower who produce the information security products, and who conduct the information security services are critical factor to complete secure information society In spite of many Plans formulated and implemented by government and civil sector, there is no systematic analysis on the current status of information security educational institutions. This article aims to analyze the current status of information security educational institutions - colleges, universities and graduate schools-with Statistical Yearbook of Education, and to predict the supply of information supply manpower.

  • The utilization of NFC has been continuously increasing due to the spread of smart phones and the development of short-range wireless communication networks. However, it has been suggested that stability and security of convenient NFC short-range wireless communications can be unstable and problematic. The unstable causes for NFC are the lack of security technologies for NFC, the controversy about personal information infringement, and the lack of social awareness on security breach against data settlement. NFC service can be conveniently used by simply touching other NFC devices and NFC tags through the NFC device. This thesis analyzes that NFC authentication technology, which is convenient for user are one of the unstable causes of security of NFC. This thesis suggest that ministry should research countermeasures and promote how users can use NFC safely. It also suggests that users should have awareness when they use payment and authentication service through NFC to prevent from security threat.

  • By a spread of utilizing environment of the CNG library, it is required to analyze its vulnerability. For this reason, in this paper, we analyzed SSL communication process in CNG library. This study is expected to draw vulnerabilities and security threats and improve security criteria for various applications to fully take advantage of the CNG library.

  • This paper proposes the architecture and the methods of security network management for auto-configuration of security systems by extending the existing policy-based network management architecture. The architecture and the methods proposed in this paper enable a security management sewer to automatically decide the best-suited security policy to apply to a security system and the most effective and efficient security system to perform security policy rule, based on the role and capability information of security systems and the role and time information of security policy. For integrated control of network system and security system, this paper also proposes SNMP protocol based security network topology map generator. To show the excellence of the proposed architecture and methods, we simulate and evaluate the automatic response against attacks.

  • Many users are using password managers in order to conveniently manage several usernames and passwords needed to access the web sites. The password manager encrypts and stores several passwords on the server, and the user accesses the server to receive the password information. Thus, if an attacker can sniff a message between the password manager and the server and decrypt the message content, or if an attacker can steal the computer's memory and decrypt the message content, then all the passwords will be exposed to the attacker. In this paper, we analyze the client-server communications and encryption process of password mangers and show there is a serious vulnerability in memory attack.
