Attempt to protect personal computer from hacking, virus, worm, and the troy wooden horse is progressed variously. Nevertheless, it is very difficult fer public users to understand configurations to enhance security stability in windows based personal computer, and many security problem is due to there lack of recognize about information accessability, various kind of configuration, these necessity, and efficiency. Accordingly, it is demandded to develop an efficient system to protect networks and personal computer with automated method. In this paper, we derive problems of personal computer by analyzing various vulnerableness and policy on security, through which we design and implement the system to solve various windows system problem conveniently.

Recent technological advances and industry changes, the game industry is maximizing fun by supporting cross-play that can be enjoyed by different platform users in PC, Mobile and Console games. If the boundaries are lost through the cross play, unexpected security threats can occur due to new services, even if existing security is maintained above a certain level. The existing online game security researches are mostly fraud detection that can occur in PC and mobile environment, but it is also necessary to study the security of the console game as cross play becomes possible. Therefore, this paper systematically identifies the security threats that can occur when enjoying cross play against console game users using STRIDE and LINDDUN threat modeling, derives security requirements using the international common evaluation standard.

Sony has recently launched a remote play service that connects PC and PlayStation4 using the Internet. This service enables the network connection between the external network and PS4 network. After the service released, additional security threats may arise in remote environments with new services. Therefore, those threats should have been analyzed. In this paper, as applying threat modeling to remote play system, threats have been analyzed and identified. After cost-effective and usability analysis, finally, reasonable security measure of each threat has been suggested.

The encryption of a file on a PC before saving can maintain security of the file. However, if the key for the encrypted file is lost or damaged, the encrypted file can not be decrypted, resulting in serious economical loss to the user or the user group. In order to minimize the economical loss a secure and reliable key recovery technology is required. Presented in this paper is the development and evaluation of PKRS (PC based Key Recovery System) which supports encryption and decryption of file and recovery of the encrypted file in emergency. The encapsulating method, which attaches key recovery information to encrypted file, is applied to the PKRS. In addition, the PKRS is developed and evaluated according to the requirements of Requirements for Key Recovery Products proposed by NIST and requirements of Common Criteria 2.0 to prove the safety and reliability of the information security system. This system is applicable to a PC and can be further extended to internet or intranet environment information system where in encryption and recovery of file is possible.

It is a measure to overcome limitations that occur in the activity of detecting and blocking abnormal information leakage activity by collecting the activity log generated by the security solution to detect the leakage of existing financial information and analyzing it by pattern analysis. First, it monitors real-time execution programs in PC that are used as information leakage path (read from the outside, save to the outside, transfer to the outside, etc.) in the PC. Second, it determines whether it is a normal controlled exception control circumvention by interacting with the related security control process at the time the program is executed. Finally, we propose a risk management model that can control the risk of financial information leakage through the process procedure created on the basis of scenario.

A botnet is a huge network of hacked zombie PCs. Recognizing the fact that the majority of email spam is sent out by botnets, a system that is capable of detecting botnets and zombie PCS will be designed in this study by analyzing email spam. In this study, spam data collected in "an email spam trail system", Korea's national spam collection system, were used for analysis. In this study, we classified the spam groups by the URLs or attached files, and we measured how much the group has the characteristics of botnet and how much the IPs have the characteristics of zombie PC. Through the simulation result in this study, we could extract 16,030 zombie suspected PCs for one hours and it was verified that email spam can provide considerably useful information in tracing zombie PCs.

Instant messengers are a means of communication for modern people and can be used with smartphones and PCs respectively or connected with each other. Messengers, which provide various functions such as message, call, and file sharing, contain user behavior information regarded as important evidence in forensic investigation. However, it is difficult to analyze as well as acquire smartphone data because of the security of smartphones or apps. However, messenger data can be extracted through PC when the messenger is used on PC. In this paper, we obtained the credential data of Wire messenger in Windows 10, and showed that it is possible to log-in from another PC without authentication. In addition, we identified and classified major artifacts generated based on user behavior.

As digitalization accelerates, the use of digital information is increasing in public institutions such as schools and libraries, and the demand for print services is also increasing. Among many services, printing service on public PCs should charge fee to printer users, but it is a very difficult task for administrators. Print management solutions have been developed and are now widely used to automate these demanding tasks. In this paper, we analyze the vulnerability of printer management solutions used in public institutions. However, the security awareness of public PC administrators and printer management solution developers seem to be lacking.

In the information age, the rapid development of information technology provides people with an enriching experience yet also causes them harm because of information security (IS) issues. The IS of smartphones faces great challenges. Although many studies on IS awareness have been conducted, most of them have focused on PCs and do not consider the security issues of smartphones. In this study, we focus on those factors that affect IS awareness for both PCs and smartphones. We also analyze the differences in the impacts of certain factors on PCs and smartphones based on the proposed research model. The results are summarized as follows. First, the understanding of security technique, understanding of IS threat, and IS education have significant impacts on IS awareness for PCs and smartphones, while IS intention has a significant impact on IS awareness for PCs but not for smartphones. Moreover, IS policy has no significant impact on IS awareness. Second, PCs and smartphones show no significant differences in IS awareness, IS threat, and IS intention, but show significant differences in understanding of security technique, IS education, and IS policy.
