Providing a secure 3-tier Web application has become a high priority for companies as e-businesses have increased the amount and the sensitivity of corporate information that can be accessed through the web. Web applications become more difficult to secure with this very increase in online traffic and transactions. This paper first reviews the 3-tier of web application, types of attacks that can threaten web application services and security principles. We then are designing and implementing a secure web application with open source software that able to mitigate the web application vulnerable to attack.

For ease of use and access, web browsers are now being used to access and modify sensitive data and systems including critical control systems. Due to their computational capabilities and network connectivity, browsers are vulnerable to several types of attacks, even when fully updated. Browsers are also the main target of phishing attacks. Many browser attacks, including phishing, could be prevented or mitigated by using site-, user-, and device-specific security configurations. However, we discovered that all major browsers expose disparate security configuration procedures, option names, values, and semantics. This results in an extremely hard to secure web browsing ecosystem. We analyzed more than a 1000 browser security configuration options in three major browsers and found that only 13 configuration options had syntactic and semantic similarity, while 4 configuration options had semantic similarity, but not syntactic similarity. We: a) describe the results of our in-depth analysis of browser security configuration options; b) demonstrate the complexity of policy-based configuration of web browsers; c) describe a knowledge-based solution that would enable organizations to implement highly-granular and policy-level secure configurations for their information and operational technology browsing infrastructures at the enterprise scale; and d) argue for necessity of developing a common language and semantics for web browser configurations.

In this paper, we present robust and secure metering scheme to measure the number of interactions between clients and servers in the web, especially the web advertising. In most cases the web advertising is consists of advertisers, clients, servers, and an audit agency. The metering scheme should always be secure against fraud attempts by servers which maliciously try to inate the number of their visits and against clients that attempt to disrupt the metering process. We propose robust and secure metering scheme based on cryptographic techniques. By analyzing the proposed scheme we show that our scheme is more robust and secure than the previous schemes [1,2,4,5].

Recently, with the development of the ICT environment, the use of the software is growing rapidly. And the number of the web server software used with a variety of users is also growing. However, There are also various damage cases increased due to a software security vulnerability as software usage is increasing. Especially web shell hacking which abuses software vulnerabilities accounts for a very high percentage. These web server environment damage can induce primary damage such like homepage modification for malware spreading and secondary damage such like privacy. Source code weaknesses checking system is needed during software development stage and operation stage in real-time to prevent software vulnerabilities. Also the system which can detect and determine web shell from checked code in real time is needed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the system improving security for web server by detecting web shell attacks which are invisible to existing detection method such as Firewall, IDS/IPS, Web Firewall, Anti-Virus, etc. while satisfying existing secure coding guidelines from development stage to operation stage.

This paper describes construction of web services system for secure message transmission appling web services standards. This system composes single sign on module, SSL module and secure message module. We applied these modules to price comparison site. Single sign on module used SAML standards. This module was designed, in order to provide authentication and authorization. As SSL module processes message encryption among end to end, messages of this system are secure. Secure message module is designed according to WS-Security standards and processes authentication, XML signature and XML encryption.

다양한 연구분야에서 웹을 대부분 응용의 프레임워크 또는 GUI 사용하려는 거역할 수 없는 흐름에 발 맞추어 국내에서도 전자상거래와 관련한 법규가 가시화될 전망으로 웹을 이용한 상거래 움직임 또한 더욱 활발할 것으로 보인다. 이와 같이 다양해지는 웹 응용을 위해서는 지금까지의 웹 보안 기술로 부인봉쇄와 같은 보안 서비스를 제공하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 다양해지는 웹 보안 요구 사항을 만족시키는 프로토콜로 IETF에 의해 제안된 S-HTTP(Secure HTTP, Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol)를 기반으로 하는 웹 시스템인 SecWeb의 개발을 위한 시스템 모델, 구현 환경 및 개발된 시스템 그리고 적용 가능한 시나리오를 기술하였다. 개발된 SecWeb의 대표적인 응용분야로는 전자서명에 의한 부인봉쇄서비스가 중요하게 요구되는 분야들을 생각할 수 있다.

According to ISO/IEC 9000, quality to satisfy users' requirements when using the product or service is defined as the characteristics of the synthesized concept. Secure web application coding information systems with the reliability and quality of service is one of the determining factor. Secure coding in order to achieve the quality based on the model is necessary. The reason is that the security is in quality properties in the range of non-functional requirements that necessitates. Secure coding for the design of quality systems based on the quality of the definition of quality attributes, quality requirements, quality attribute scenarios are defined, and must be set. To this end, referring to IEEE 1061 quality model for web application, quality model structure is developed. Secure web application architecture design is composed of coding quality of the model systems, web applications draw interest to stakeholders, decision drivers secure coding architecture, quality attributes, eliciting quality requirements of the security settings, creating web application architecture descriptions and security framework.

Web-mail system is worthy of note as a next generation e-mail system for its mobility and easiness. But many web-mail system does not have any kind of security mechanism. Even if web-mail system provides security services, its degree of strength is too low. Using these web-mail systems, the e-mail is tabbed, modified or forged by attacker easily. To solve these problems, we design and implement secure web-mail system based on the international e-mail security standard S/MIME in this thesis. This secure web-mail system is composed of server system and client system The server system performs basic mail functions - sending/receiving the mails, storing the mails, and management of user information, etc. And the client system performs cryptographic functions - encryption/decryption of the mails, digital signing and validation, etc. Because client system performs cryptographic functions this secure web-mail system gives its reliability and safety, and provides end-to-end security between mail users. Also, this secure web-mail system increase system efficiency by minimize server load.

PACS is a medical system for digital medical images, and PACS expand to web-based service using public network, DICOM files should be protected from the man-in-the-middle attack because they have personal medical record. To solve the problem, we designed flexible secure transmission system using IPSec and adopted to a web-based three-dimensional medical image system. And next, we performed the performance evaluation changing integrity and encryption algorithm using DICOM volume dataset. At that time, combinations of the algorithm was 'DES-MD5', 'DES-SHA1', '3DES-MD5', and '3DES-SHA1, and the experiment was performed on our test-bed. In experimental result, the overall performance was affected by encryption algorithms than integrity algorithms, DES was approximately 50% of throughput degradation and 3DES was about to 65% of throughput degradation. Also when DICOM volume dataset was transmitted using secure transmission system, the network performance degradation had shown because of increased packet overhead. As a result, server and network performance degradation occurs for secure transmission system by ensuring the secure exchange of messages. Thus, if the secure transmission system adopted to the medical images that should be protected, it could solve server performance gradation and compose secure web PACS.
