In order to detect Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, victim-side detection methods are used popularly such as static threshold-based method and machine learning-based method. However, as DoS attacking methods become more sophisticated, these methods reveal some natural disadvantages such as the late detection and the difficulty of tracing back attackers. Recently, in order to mitigate these drawbacks, source-side DoS detection methods have been researched. But, the source-side DoS detection methods have limitations if the volume of attack traffic is relatively very small and it is blended into legitimate traffic. Especially, with the subtle attack traffic, DoS detection methods may suffer from high false positive, considering legitimate traffic as attack traffic. In this paper, we propose an effective source-side DoS detection method with traffic seasonality aware adaptive threshold. The threshold of detecting DoS attack is adjusted adaptively to the fluctuated legitimate traffic in order to detect subtle attack traffic. Moreover, by understanding the seasonality of legitimate traffic, the threshold can be updated more carefully even though subtle attack happens and it helps to achieve low false positive. The extensive evaluation with the real traffic logs presents that the proposed method achieves very high detection rate over 90% with low false positive rate down to 5%.

Crypton is a SP-network block cipher that attracts much attention because of its excellent performance on hardware. Based on Crypton, mCrypton is designed as a lightweight block cipher suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The security of Crypton and mCrypton under meet-in-the-middle attack is analyzed in this paper. By analyzing the differential properties of cell permutation, several differential characteristics are introduced to construct generalized ${\delta}-sets$. With the usage of a generalized ${\delta}-set$ and differential enumeration technique, a 6-round meet-in-the-middle distinguisher is proposed to give the first meet-in-the-middle attack on 9-round Crypton-192 and some improvements on the cryptanalysis of 10-round Crypton-256 are given. Combined with the properties of nibble permutation and substitution, an improved meet-in-the-middle attack on 8-round mCrypton is proposed and the first complete attack on 9-round mCrypton-96 is proposed.

The emerging scope of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) has piqued the interest of industry and academia in recent times. Therefore, security becomes the main issue to prevent the possibility of cyberattacks. Jamming attacks are threads that can affect performance and cause significant problems for IoT device. This study explores a smart jamming attack (coalition attack) in which the attackers were previously a part of the legitimate network and are now back to attack it based on the gained knowledge. These attackers regroup into a coalition and begin exchanging information about the legitimate network to launch attacks based on the gained knowledge. Our system enables jammer nodes to select the optimal transmission rates for attacks based on the attack probability table, which contains the most probable link transmission rate between nodes in the legitimate network. The table is updated constantly throughout the life cycle of the coalition. The simulation results show that a coalition of jammers can cause highly successful attacks.

In 2013, Lee-Lie proposed secure smart card based authentication scheme of Zhu's authentication for TMIS which is secure against the various attacks and efficient password change. In this paper, we discuss the security of Lee-Lie's smart card-based authentication scheme, and we have shown that Lee-Lie's authentication scheme is still insecure against the various attacks. Also, we proposed the improved scheme to overcome these security problems of Lee-Lie's authentication scheme, even if the secret information stored in the smart card is revealed. As a result, we can see that the improved smart card based user authentication scheme for TMIS is secure against the insider attack, the password guessing attack, the user impersonation attack, the server masquerading attack, the session key generation attack and provides mutual authentication between the user and the telecare system.

As optical network technology advances, the Dense-Wavelength Division Multiplexing(DWDM) networks have been widely accepted as a promising approach to the Next Generation Optical Internet (NGOI) backbone networks. Especially. a fault/attack management scheme in NGOI backbone networks is one of the most important issues because a short service disruption in DWDM networks carrying extremely high data rates causes loss of vast traffic volumes. In this paper, we suggest a fault/attack management model for NGOI backbone networks and propose a fault/attack recovery procedure in IP/GMPLS over DWDM.

유선전화에서 무선전화로 전화사용 추세가 전환되면서, 무료 와이파이(Wi-Fi) 기능이 탑재된 휴대폰, 넷북 등 모바일 기기가 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 하지만 무선 인터넷전화는 기존 인터넷망을 이용하여 통화내용을 전달하기 때문에 인터넷서비스가 가지고 있는 취약점이 발생하게 된다. 행정기관에서 사용하고 있는 인터넷전화도 현재 유선에서 무선으로 연결 및 사용률이 증가되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 무선인터넷의 취약점이 발견되는 Wi-Fi AP와 FMC같은 행정기관 인터넷전화 무선 장비에 대한 취약점을 연구를 한다. Wi-Fi AP와 FMC에 대한 취약점을 분석하고, 인터넷전화의 공격에 기본이 되는 호 가로채기 공격실험과 분석을 한다. 보안성이 강화된 인터넷전화를 위한 Wi-Fi AP와 FMC 호 가로채기 공격에 대한 방어와 보안 대책을 연구한다.

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is considered as a powerful approach to improve the utilization of scarce radio spectrum resources. However, most of CSS schemes assume all secondary users (SU) are honest, and thus offering opportunities for malicious SUs to launch the spectrum sensing data falsification attack (SSDF attack). To combat such misbehaved behaviors, recent efforts have been made to trust schemes. In this paper, we argue that powering CSS with traditional trust schemes is not enough. The rational SSDF attack is found in this paper. Unlike the simple SSDF attack, rational SSDF attackers send out false sensing data on a small number of interested primary users (PUs) rather than all PUs. In this case, rational SSDF attackers can keep up high trustworthiness, resulting in difficultly detecting malicious SUs in the traditional trust schemes. Meanwhile, a defense scheme using a novel trust approach is proposed to counter rational SSDF attack. Simulation results show that this scheme can successfully reduce the power of rational SSDF, and thus ensure the performance of CSS.

In this paper, we propose an approach to apply network-based moving target defense into Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The IoT is a technology that provides the high interconnectivity of things like electronic devices. However, cyber security risks are expected to increase as the interconnectivity of such devices increases. One recent study demonstrated a man-in-the-middle attack in the statically configured IoT network. In recent years, a new approach to cyber security, called the moving target defense, has emerged as a potential solution to the challenge of static systems. The approach continuously changes system's attack surface to prevent attacks. After analyzing IPv4 / IPv6-based moving target defense schemes and IoT network-related technologies, we present our approach in terms of addressing systems, address mutation techniques, communication models, network configuration, and node mobility. In addition, we summarize the direction of future research in relation to the proposed approach.
