Ultra-lightweight password CHAM is an algorithm with efficient addition, rotation and XOR operations on resource constrained devices. CHAM shows high computational performance, especially on IoT platforms. However, lightweight block encryption algorithms used on the Internet of Things may be vulnerable to side channel analysis. In this paper, we demonstrate the vulnerability to side channel attack by attempting a first power analysis attack against CHAM. In addition, a safe algorithm was proposed and implemented by applying a masking technique to safely defend the attack. This implementation implements an efficient and secure CHAM block cipher using the instruction set of an 8-bit AVR processor.

User authentication based on ID and PW has been widely used. As the Internet has become a growing part of people' lives, input times of ID/PW have been increased for a variety of services. People have already learned enough to perform the authentication procedure and have entered ID/PW while ones are unconscious. This is referred to as the adaptive unconscious, a set of mental processes incoming information and producing judgements and behaviors without our conscious awareness and within a second. Most people have joined up for various websites with a small number of IDs/PWs, because they relied on their memory for managing IDs/PWs. Human memory decays with the passing of time and knowledges in human memory tend to interfere with each other. For that reason, there is the potential for people to enter an invalid ID/PW. Therefore, these characteristics above mentioned regarding of user authentication with ID/PW can lead to human vulnerabilities: people use a few PWs for various websites, manage IDs/PWs depending on their memory, and enter ID/PW unconsciously. Based on the vulnerability of human factors, a variety of information leakage attacks such as phishing and pharming attacks have been increasing exponentially. In the past, information leakage attacks exploited vulnerabilities of hardware, operating system, software and so on. However, most of current attacks tend to exploit the vulnerabilities of the human factors. These attacks based on the vulnerability of the human factor are called social-engineering attacks. Recently, malicious social-engineering technique such as phishing and pharming attacks is one of the biggest security problems. Phishing is an attack of attempting to obtain valuable information such as ID/PW and pharming is an attack intended to steal personal data by redirecting a website's traffic to a fraudulent copy of a legitimate website. Screens of fraudulent copies used for both phishing and pharming attacks are almost identical to those of legitimate websites, and even the pharming can include the deceptive URL address. Therefore, without the supports of prevention and detection techniques such as vaccines and reputation system, it is difficult for users to determine intuitively whether the site is the phishing and pharming sites or legitimate site. The previous researches in terms of phishing and pharming attacks have mainly studied on technical solutions. In this paper, we focus on human behaviour when users are confronted by phishing and pharming attacks without knowing them. We conducted an attack experiment in order to find out how many IDs/PWs are leaked from pharming and phishing attack. We firstly configured the experimental settings in the same condition of phishing and pharming attacks and build a phishing site for the experiment. We then recruited 64 voluntary participants and asked them to log in our experimental site. For each participant, we conducted a questionnaire survey with regard to the experiment. Through the attack experiment and survey, we observed whether their password are leaked out when logging in the experimental phishing site, and how many different passwords are leaked among the total number of passwords of each participant. Consequently, we found out that most participants unconsciously logged in the site and the ID/PW management dependent on human memory caused the leakage of multiple passwords. The user should actively utilize repudiation systems and the service provider with online site should support prevention techniques that the user can intuitively determined whether the site is phishing.

Cyber attacks are increasing worldwide, and attacks on personal privacy such as CCTV and IP camera hacking are also increasing. If you search for IP camera hacking methods in spaces such as YouTube, SNS, and the dark web, you can easily get data and hacking programs are also on sale. If you use an IP camera that has vulnerabilities used by hacking programs, you easily get hacked even if you change your password regularly or use a complex password including special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, and numbers. Although news and media have raised concerns about the security of IP cameras and suggested measures to prevent damage, hacking incidents continue to occur. In order to prevent such hacking damage, it is necessary to identify the cause of the hacking incident and take concrete measures. First, we analyzed weak account settings and web server vulnerabilities of IP cameras, which are the causes of IP camera hacking, and suggested solutions. In addition, as a specific countermeasure against hacking, it is proposed to add a function to receive a notification when an IP camera is connected and a function to save the connection history. If there is such a function, the fact of damage can be recognized immediately, and important data can be left in arresting criminals. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to increase the safety from hacking by using the connection notification function and logging function of the IP camera.

These days most of people possesses an average of one to two mobile devices in the world and a wireless network market is gradually expanding. Wi-Fi preference are increasing in accordance with the use growth of mobile devices. A number of areas such as public agencies, health care, education, learning, and content, manufacturing, retail create new values based on Wi-Fi, and the global network is built and provides complex services. However, There exist some attacks and vulnerabilities like wireless radio device identifier vulnerability, illegal use of network resources through the MAC forgery, wireless authentication key cracking, unauthorized AP / devices attack in the next generation radio network environment. In addition, advanced security technology research, such as authentication Advancement and high-speed secure connection is not nearly progress. Therefore, this paper designed a secure communication system for message protection in next-generation wireless network environments by device identification and, designing content classification and storage protocols. The proposed protocol analyzed safeties with respect to the occurring vulnerability and the securities by comparing and analyzing the existing password techniques in the existing wireless network environment. It is slower 0.72 times than existing cypher system, WPA2-PSK, but enforces the stability in security side.

SQL Injection techniques disclosed web hacking years passed, but these are classified the most dangerous attac ks. Recent web programming data for efficient storage and retrieval using a DBMS is essential. Mainly PHP, JSP, A SP, and scripting language used to interact with the DBMS. In this web environments application does not validate the client's invalid entry may cause abnormal SQL query. These unusual queries to bypass user authentication or da ta that is stored in the database can be exposed. SQL Injection vulnerability environment, an attacker can pass the web-based authentication using username and password and data stored in the database. Measures against SQL Inj ection on has been announced as a number of methods. But if you rely on any one method of many security hole ca n occur. The proposal of four levels leverage is composed with the source code, operational phases, database, server management side and the user input validation. This is a way to apply the measures in terms of why the accident preventive steps for creating a phased step-by-step response nodel, through the process of management measures, if applied, there is the possibility of SQL Injection attacks can be.

As the number of smartphone users increases, vulnerability to privacy protection is increasing. This is because personal information is stored on various servers connected to the Internet and the user is authenticated using the same ID and password. Authentication methods such as OTP, FIDO, and PIN codes have been introduced to solve traditional authentication methods, but their use is limited for authentication that requires sharing with other users. In this paper, we propose the authentication method that is needed for the management of shared information such as hospitals and corporations. The proposed algorithm is an algorithm that can authenticate users in the same place in real time using smart phone IMEI, QR code, BLE, push message. We propose an authentication algorithm that can perform user authentication through mutual cooperation using a smart phone and can cancel realtime authentication. And we designed and implemented a mutual authentication system using proposed algorithm.

Diverse kind of attack using the vulnerability of user authentication on Internet service is announced recently. Especially, security accidents on the Internet banking service and Internet telephony service(SIP) are increased rapidly. Attack skills are also evolved into intelligent mechanism. Therefore, more enhanced authentication mechanism is required on existing Internet banking and telephone services for preventing those kinds of attacks using personal identity information such as biometric data. In this research, the proposed B-OTP mechanism can be used to enhance security on a user authentication procedure by combining biometric data with existing OTP mechanism. As a result, the security on internet banking and Internet telephone service will be more improved by using proposed B-OTP mechanism.

Recently, Li and Hwang scheme proposed a biometrics-based remote user authentication scheme using smart card. It is asserted that this scheme has very excellent benefits by the operation cost efficiency based on the smart card, one-way function and biometrics using random numbers. But this scheme cannot provide the properly authentication, especially, it is analyzed as the vulnerable security scheme for Denial-of-Service(DoS) attacks by impersonate attacks. The attacker controls the insecure channel, they can easily fabricate messages to pass the user's or server's authentication, and the malicious attacker can impersonate the user to cheat the server and can impersonate the server to cheat the user without knowing any secret information. This paper proposes the strong improved scheme which can respond to multiple attacks by supplementing the function of integrity check from the server which applied variable authenticator and OSPA without exposing the user's password information. It is supplemented pregnable of disguise attack and mutual authentication of Li and Hwang scheme.

These days wireless network devices (smartphones, tablet PC, laptop) are being utilized more frequently. In line with the increasing number of users of a wireless network, the usage of wireless access points is also increasing. Nowadays as nationwide wireless network services being made available, wireless networks are increasingly being used due to the lower costs of building faster and affordable private or carrier networks. However wireless security is not keeping up with this development. Many use open networks where anyone can join, meanwhile for those using wireless security protocols there is the problem of managing the password. In this paper, we analyze the problems of trying to build a user authentication system using an access point and the RADIUS server.
