  • Personal mobile devices equipped with non-volatile storage such as MP3 player, PMP, cellular phone, and USB memory require safety for the stored data on the devices. One of the safety requirements is secure deletion, which is removing stored data completely so that the data can not be restored illegally. In this paper, we study how to design the secure deletion on Flash memory, commonly used as storage media for mobile devices. We consider two possible secure deletion policy, named zero-overwrite and garbage-collection respectively, and analyze how each policy affects the performance of Flash memory file systems. Then, we propose an adaptive file deletion scheme that exploits the merits of the two possible policies. Specifically, the proposed scheme applies the zero-overwrite policy for small files, whereas it employs the garbage-collection policy for large files. Real implementation experiments show that the scheme is not only secure but also efficient.

  • This paper proposes an efficient mechanism of node membership verification within the groups of sensors in a wireless sensor network (WSN). We utilize one-way accumulator to check the memberships of the legitimate nodes in a secure way. Our scheme also supports the addition and deletion of nodes in the groups in the network. Our analysis shows that, our scheme could be well-suited for the resource constrained sensors in a sensor network and it provides a lightweight mechanism for secure node membership verification in WSN.

  • In most file systems, if a file is deleted, only the metadata of the file is deleted or modified and the file's data is still stored on the physical media. Some users require that deleted files no longer be accessible. This requirement is more important in embedded systems that employ flash memory as a storage medium. In this paper, we propose a secure deletion method for NAND flash file system and apply the method to YAFFS. Our method uses encryption to delete files and forces all keys of a specific file to be stored in the same block. Therefore, only one erase operation is required to securely delete a file. Our simulation results show that the amortized number of block erases is smaller than the simple encryption method. Even though we apply our method only to the YAFFS, our method can be easily applied to other NAND flash file systems.

  • Group signature schemes allow a group member to sign messages anonymously on behalf of the group. In case of dispute, only a designated group manager can reveal the identity of the member. During last decade, group signature schemes have been intensively investigated in the literature and applied to various applications. However, there has been no scheme properly handling the situation that a group member wants to leave a group or is excluded by a group manager. As noted in[3], the complexity of member deletion stands in the way of real world applications of group signatures and the member deletion problem has been a pressing open problem. In this paper we propose an efficient group signature scheme that allows member deletion. The length of the group public key and the size of signatures all independent of the size of the group and the security of the scheme relies on the RSA assumption. In addition, the method of tracing all signatures of a specific member is introduced.

  • Things intelligence communication (M2M or IoT) service activation and global company of OneM2M-related business on aggressive investing and has led to the acceleration of change in the ICT market. But a variety of hacking security technology because of the possibility of secure communication (data exposure, theft, modification, deletion, etc.) has been issued as an important requirement. In this paper, we propose a mutual authentication protocol for secure communications chameleon hash based on the M2M environment. The results of performance analysis efficiency is encryption and decryption an average of 0.7%, calculated rate showed good results as compared to the target algorithm, equivalent to a 3%(Average 0.003 seconds) difference, mutual authentication and encryption region by using the key update advantage of ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography)based Chameleon hash function is signed of the operational efficiency, using a collision message verifiable properties demonstrated strong security of the communication section.

  • In this paper, the author proposes a method for detecting modification of transmitted messages in C/C++ based Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) simulation. When a message generated by a model instance is delivered to other model instances, it may be modified by some of the recipients. Such modifications may corrupt simulation results, which may lead to wrong decision making. In the proposed method, every model instance stores a copy of every transmitted message. Before the deletion of the transmitted message, the instance compares them. Once a modification has been detected, the method interrupt the current simulation run. The procedure is automatically performed by a simulator instance. Thus, the method does not require programmers to follow secure coding or to add specific codes in their models. The performance of the method is compared with a DEVS simulator.

  • In a situation where applications determine business competitiveness, they cannot respond to varying customer requirements without the cloud's flexibility and scalability. Companies have begun seeking ways to enjoy the advantages of the cloud fully, and the concept of "Cloud Native" is emerging as a solution to the problem. Cloud Native is now a target of interest in the market. Microservice and serverless functions can play a vital role in cloud-native architecture. Microservice arranges applications into various independent services, each offering certain functionality through mutual networking. eBPF is attracting attention as a cloud-native networking solution that quickly supports microservice features that repeat creation/deletion. This study identifies the characteristics of eBPF-based networking and evaluates cloud-native networking and secure networking using eBPF.

  • As the usage of Internet grows, we share many informations among the others and use more database systems for a various type of data. However, secure database system, which prevents the unauthorized users from modification, deletion, and access, is urgently required for sharing data in Internet. Conventional technologies of a data security are passive methods which depend on several steps with an access control, and these methods are vulnerable against the illegal attack because attacker can see the plain text that is private message. To prevent private data item for the special security from the malicious attack in web database, this paper is devoted to implement database system using steganography method, so we can protect the data item completely because attacker cannot know the secure message although he get the content of database.
