Message replay, malicious Access Point (AP) associations and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are the major threats in Wireless LANs. These threats are possible due to a lack of proper authentication and insecure message communications between wireless devices. Current wireless authentication & key exchange (AKE) schemes and security protocols (WEP, WPA and IEEE 802.11i) are not sufficient against these threats. This paper presents a novel Secure WLAN Authentication Scheme (SWAS). The scheme introduces the delegation concept of mobile authentication in WLANs, and provides mutual authentication to all parties (Wireless Station, Access Point and Authentication Server). The messages involved in the process serve both authentication and key refreshing purposes. The scheme enhances the security by protecting the messages through cryptographic techniques and reduces the DoS impact. The results showed that cryptographic techniques do not result in extra latencies in authentication. The scheme also reduces the communication cost and network overhead.

We propose a new auction protocol scheme that uses the publicly verifiable secret sharing (PVSS) scheme. Unlike the existing scheme where a verifiable encryption scheme is employed when there is a dispute between a bidder and the auctioneer, the proposed scheme essentially removes the potential of a dispute. In addition, it has a robust registration phase and any entities participating in or observing the auction can verify the correctness of the auction process. The manager does not directly chooses the private key for the bidders, but only verifies the correctness between the private key and the public key, thereby improving the security, such as a bid submission of a malicious manager using the private key of a bidder.

Malware Analysis tools are being main topic research for many mobile security companies, in this survey, we are trying to go through the most popular tools used to find out the malicious codes and suspected android programs through reverse engineering process. There are so many malware tools have been made and implemented and some of them are efficient enough and others are quite slow and consuming high processing, however we are going to compare briefly some of them.

Integrated WiMAX and WiFi networks is of great potential for the future due to the wider coverage of WiMAX and the high data transport capacity of WiFi. However, seamless and secure handover (HO) is one of the most challenging issues in this field. In this paper, we present a novel vertical HO authentication scheme with privacy preserving for WiMAX-WiFi heterogeneous networks. Our scheme uses ticket-based and pseudonym-based cryptographic methods to secure HO process and to achieve high efficiency. The formal verification by the AVISPA tool shows that the proposed scheme is secure against various malicious attacks and the simulation result indicates that it outperforms the existing schemes in terms of communication and computation cost.

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have become one of the active areas of research, standardization, and development because they have tremendous potentials to improve vehicle and road safety, traffic efficiency, and convenience as well as comfort to both drivers and passengers. However, message trustfulness is a challenge because the propagation of false message by malicious vehicles induces unreliable and ineffectiveness of VANETs, Therefore, we need a reliable reputation method to ensure message trustfulness. In this paper, we consider a vulnerability against the Sybil attack of the previous reputation systems based on blockchain and suggest a new reputation system which resists against Sybil attack on the previous system. We propose an initial authentication process as a countermeasure against a Sybil attack and provide a reliable reputation with a cooperative message delivery to cope with message omission. In addition, we use Homomorphic Commitment to protect the privacy breaches in VANETs environment.

지능형 타깃 지속 공격에 업데이트 서버가 유포수단으로 사용되고, 업데이트 프로그램은 악성코드의 실행 또는 안티바이러스 시그니처와 같은 애플리케이션 데이터의 조작에도 취약하기 때문에 SW 업데이트 위협요소의 식별 및 방지대책이 시급하다. 본 논문에서는 국내외 SW의 업데이트 구조와 업데이트 과정의 취약성 공격 및 대응방안을 살펴보고, 국내 유명 SW의 업데이트 로그를 추출/분석하여 화이트리스트를 식별하는데 필요한 정상적인 프로그램의 업데이트 구성요소를 도출한다.

Recently, federated learning (FL) has increased prominence as a viable approach for enhancing user privacy and data security by allowing collaborative multi-party model learning without exchanging sensitive data. Despite this, most present FL systems still depend on a centralized aggregator to generate a global model by gathering all submitted models from users, which could expose user privacy and the risk of various threats from malicious users. To solve these issues, we suggested a safe FL framework that employs differential privacy to counter membership inference attacks during the collaborative FL model training process and empowers blockchain to replace the centralized aggregator server.

In the process of remarkable progress in the medical and technical field and activating the role of technology in health care services and applications, and since the safety of medical data and its protection from security violations plays a major role in assessing the security of health facilities and the safety of medical servers Thus, it is necessary to know the cyber vulnerabilities in health information systems and other related services to prevent and address them in addition to obtaining the best solutions and practices to reach a high level of cybersecurity against attackers, especially due to the digital transformation of health care systems and the rest of the dealings. This research is about what cyberattacks are and the purpose of them, in addition to the methods of penetration. Then challenges, solutions and some of the security issues will be discussed in general, and a special highlight will be given to obtaining a safe infrastructure to enjoy safe systems in return.

DDoS attacks have had a devastating effect on the Internet, which can cause millions of dollars of damage within hours or even minutes. In this paper we propose a practical dynamic defense approach that overcomes the shortage of static defense mechanisms. Our approach employs a group of SDN-based proxy switches to relay data flow between users and servers. By substituting backup proxy switches for attacked ones and reassigning suspect users onto the new proxy switches, innocent users are isolated and saved from malicious attackers through a sequence of remapping process. In order to improve the speed of attacker segregation, we have designed and implemented an efficient greedy algorithm which has been demonstrated to have little influence on legitimate traffic. Simulations, which were then performed with the open source controller Ryu, show that our approach is effective in alleviating DDoS attacks and quarantining the attackers by numerable remapping process. The simulations also demonstrate that our dynamic defense imposes little effect on legitimate users, and the overhead introduced by remapping procedure is acceptable.

본 논문에서는 전방위 영상에 대해 알고리즘 기반으로 워터마크를 추출했던 기존 방법의 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 합성곱 신경망(Convolutional Neural Network, CNN)을 이용한 워터마크 추출 방법을 제안한다. 이 CNN은 전방위 영상의 생성과정에서 발생하는 변형과 악의적인 공격에 대한 보정을 수행하여 워터마크를 추출하는 복원과정과, 추출한 워터마크가 어떤 워터마크인지를 분류하는 분류과정으로 구성된다. 이에 대해 다양한 공격에 대한 실험을 통해 기존 방법보다 추출되는 워터마크의 정확도가 더 높음을 확인한다.
