With the prevalence of mobile devices, many organizations introduce MDM BYOD and try to increase the level of security with them. However, device control of mobile devices in application level cannot be a solution against the fundamental problems. In this paper, we propose a more flexible and more secure method to control the hardware devices using Linux Security Module in the kernel level with the mandatory access control.

We Propose the Suity Cryptography File System to encrypt or decrypt a plaintext or an encrypted tort by using the dynamic linking mechanism In the Linux kernel. The dynamic linking mechanism gives the flexibility of the kernel without changing the kernel. The Sorority Cryptography File System uses the blowfish algorithm to encrypt or decrypt a data. To overcome the overhead of the key server, I use key generating algorithm which is installed in the same Security Cryptography File System. The Security Cryptography file System is fitted into the Linux system.

SELinux, security operating system, is the security system which implements mandatory access control using linux security module on the traditional linux kernel supporting discretionary access control. But intrusion detection and logging are lacked when system intrusions are happened. This study proposes a SELinux security kernel which performs detection of access violation and privilege restriction using dynamic access control. It detects the intrusion using security check when the abnormal access of system is happened, and dynamically changes the system privilege for the intruder through privilege restriction. Finally we prevent reintrusion and explain the result of experiment.

Currently most of commercial operating systems contain a high-level audit feature to increase their own security level. Linux does not fall behind the other commercial operating systems in performance and stability, but Linux does not have a good audit feature. Linux is required to support a higher security feature than C2 level of the TCSEC in order to be used as a server operating system, which requires the kernel-level audit feature that provides the system call auditing feature and audit event. In this paper, we present LxBSM, which is a kernel module to provide the kernel-level audit features. The audit record format of LxBSM is compatible with that of Sunshield BSM. The LxBSM is implemented as a loadable kernel module, so it has the enhanced usability. It provides the rich audit records including the user-level audit events such as login/logout. It supports both the pipe and file interface for increasing the connectivity between LxBSM and intrusion detection systems (IDS). The performance of LxBSM is compared and evaluated with that of Linux kernel without the audit features. The response time was increased when the system calls were called to create the audit data, such as fork, execve, open, and close. However any other performance degradation was not observed.

Recently, the security requirements of the embedded system which were not considered when the embedded system is independently deployed are being increased because the embedded system is connected to an internet. The connection to the internet of embedded system is the meaning that it is exposed to the various kinds of external attack and can be a victim to these attacks in anytime. Particularly, it is trend that the user-related information is stored into the personal terminals and/or electrical appliances such as PDA, home gateway for home network, settop boxes and so on. So it is needed the security mechanism which protects the user information from the malicious accesses. Accordingly, the coverage of the system security is being expanded from the general server to the embedded system. And it is not enough that the embedded system supports only its inherent functions and it becomes the essential element to provide the security function to the embedded system. This paper applies the RBAC(role-based access control) function to the embedded linux OS and tries to strengthen the security of the embedded linux OS. RBAC is implemented as a loadable kernel module with LSM(Linux Security Module) security framework for user's flexibility.

We implemented an application system which is able to verify visitor identification for remote bundle control based on OSGi and web camera control using embedded linux system. This system are designed open Oscar framework by porting java on the embedded linux system and implemented web camera system in local area networks. Also This system can verify information of visitor from receiving the data of RFID reader and designed the wireless internet system in home. Basically, in this paper we expect that home network system development and the period of application service development are reduced with integrated service provision based on OSGi.

This paper reviews the current studies about the current secure OS, security module and SELinux, and suggests Linux access control module that uses the user discriminating authentication, security authority inheritance of subjects and objects, reference monitor and MAC class process and real-time audit trailing using DB. First, during the user authentication process, it distinguishes the access permission IP and separates the superuser(root)'s authority from that of the security manager by making the users input the security level and the protection category. Second, when the subjects have access to the objects through security authority inheritance of subjects and objects, the suggested system carries out the access control by comparing the security information of the subjects with that of the objects. Third, this system implements a Reference Monitor audit on every current events happening in the kernel. As it decides the access permission after checking the current MAC security attributes, it can block any malicious intrusion in advance. Fourth, through the real-time audit trailing system, it detects all activities in the operating system, records them in the database and offers the security manager with the related security audit data in real-time.

리눅스 시스템의 급격한 사용증가에 비해 리눅스 보안에 대한 인식은 취약한 상태이며, 응용수준에서 제공되는 로깅시스템은 위.변조의 가능성이 높다. 특히 서버 데몬에서의 감시나 추적은 전적으로 응용수준에 의존하고 있는 상태이므로 현재의 특정한 자료나 연결 요청이 공격인지 아닌지를 판단하기에는 어려움이 많다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스의 시스템 호출 로깅 모듈인 리눅스 보안 모듈(LSM:Linux Security Module)을 이용하여 서버 데몬이나 유틸리티 등에 대해 선택적으로 응용프로그램에 대한 동작상태를 감사 및 추적하여 침입여부를 판단할 수 있도록 지원하는 응용 프로그램 로깅 시스템(ALOGS: Application Program Logging System)을 설계 및 구현하고자 한다.

Modern OSs, including Linux, show high scalability by adopting a monolithic kernel design, but have weak security because they share all memory space. This study presents a kernel module that are isolated inside the kernel using WebAssembly. WebAssembly provides a high-performance virtual machine by defining a low-level instruction set while guaranteeing memory safety. In this paper, the WebAssembly execution environment is implemented inside the kernel, allowing developers to control the operation of kernel modules and achieving higher security.
