  • The damage caused by information spill, forgery, falsification, and deletion by cyber infringement in educational institutions and universities is very large. In this study, we analyzed the types, causes, and problems of cyber infringement in educational administrative institutions and universities. As a result, administrative, physical and technical information protection activities were weak. In this paper, we propose a security enhancement method for each domain by dividing them into Internet zone, network-neutral zone (DMZ: Demilitarized Zone), general server zone, internal server zone (Server Farm), and user zone so that these vulnerabilities can be easily identified, supplemented or security enhanced. In addition, we have proposed a method to apply security information system architecture and information protection technology correctly for educational administration institutions and universities. This study is meaningful not to provide conceptual guidance but to suggest specific action and procedure oriented security management plan.

  • As the smart phone market is drastically expanding, there is a steady growth of recent vicious activities such as data manipulation, billing fraud, identity theft, and leakage of personal information that are security threats to Social Network Games(SNG). Due to the threats, Strong development standard is required for security enhancement of SNG. Nonetheless, short life-spans, additional expenses, and the necessities to provide a sound game service hinders developers from reaching their security goals. Therefore, this research investigates the weak points of SNG through memory manipulation experiments based on the currently provided SNG services. In addition, the research presents counter measures and security enforcements that are light in service load and simplistic which can be applied in the developing process.

  • Summation generator with high period and high linear complexity can be easily implemented by a simple hardware or software and it is proper to apply in mobile security system for ubiquitous environments. However the generator has been some weaknesses from Dawson's divided-and-conquer attack, Golic's correlation attack and Meier's fast correlation attack. In this paper, we propose an improved version($2^{128}$security level) of $E_0$algorithm, CVC-NSG(Circular-Clock-Controlled - Nonlinear Summation Generator), which partially replaces LFSRs with nonlinear FSRs and controls the irregular clock to reinforce it's own weaknesses. Finally, we analyze our proposed design in terms of security and performance.

  • Ipsec is a security protocol suite that provides encryption and authentication services for IP messages at the network layer of the internet. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol that is used to negotiate and provide authenticated keying materials in a protected manner for Security Associations (SAs). In this paper, we propose a dynamic key lifetime change algorithm for performance enhancement of virtual private networks using IPSec. The proposed algorithm changes the key lifetime according to the number of secure tunnels. The proposed algorithm is implemented with Linux 2.4.18 and FreeS/WAN 1.99. The system employing our proposed algorithm performs better than the original version in terms of network performance and security.

  • The suggestions that follow are about the plan for the cooperation between private security and local government and the enhancement of its service for facing the change of public peace environment. Fist, by a local government collecting funds, the business for revitalization of local economics should be done to enhance local economic independence. Second, the autonomous right of a local government should be reinforced and the center for taking complete charge of local security should be established in the self-governing body. Third, the private security should be connected with the local characteristics, the role of which enlarged as well. For this developing the model of security service for the local area and working together between private security and police should be achieved. Fourth, it is necessary for a local government to entrust the private security with its public security service. For this it should be achieved to set up the range of local security service and inform local residents of the advantage of security service entrusted to private security. Finally, in connection with the new system of local police, it is necessary to have clear grasp of the work related to the private security among local police services and private security business and local police should take partial charge of the public peace service. Through the cooperation between private security and local government, the role of private security will be enlarged and its business revitalized as well.

  • Low Rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) designed for low power and low cost wireless communication is an important technology to realize ubiquitous environment. IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee Alliance recommend the SKKE (Symmetric-Key Key Establishment) protocol for key establishment and management. The SKKE algorithm has security weakness such as the absence of authentication process or electric signature in key generation and exchange when devices join the role of coordinators. In this paper, we propose new key establishment and security algorithm based on public key encryption to solve low rate WPAN security problems. Also, to improve PLC AMR system's weaknesses in communication reliability and security, we propose a new AMR system model based on IEEE 802.15.4 and we apply our security algorithm to AMR profile for security enhancement.

  • Internet of Things includes the whole process of collected information generated from a variety of objects, as well as analyzing and sharing it, and providing useful information services to people. This study seeks ways to improve security and safety in the areas of service security technology, ID management technology and service access control, all of which take place in the IoT environment. We have implemented the services that can design and issue C&C (Certificate and Capability) service token authentication, which is based on a public key, to improve the service security. In addition, we suggest LCRS (Left Child-Right Sibling) resource model management for the efficient control of resources when generating the resource services from the data collected from node devices. We also implemented an IoT services platform to manage URL security of the resource services and perform access control for services.

  • Security is critically important for ubiquitous sensor networks that are usually used for the military and serveillance in environments that are opened to attacks, such as, eavesdroping, replay attacks of abnormal messages, forgery of the messages to name a few. ZigBee has emerged as a strong contender for ubiquitous sensor networks. ZigBee is used for low data rate and low power wireless sensor network applications. To deploy ubiquitous sensor networks, the collected information requires protection from an adversary over the network in many cases. The security mechanism should be provided for collecting the information over the network. However, the ZigBee protocol has some security weaknesses. In this paper, these weaknesses are discussed and a method to improve security aspect of the ZigBee protocol is presented along with a comparison of the message complexity of the proposed security protocol with that of the current ZigBee protocol.

  • As a large number of distributed systems becoming more popular, interoperability, portability and security are becoming major concerns of modern computing. CORBA and object-oriented database which provide transparency of network and database are increasingly being used as the basis for distributed system to solve these problems. The two methods can help accomplish assurance of security by using a method-based access control technique or an attribute-based access control technique. These methods also enhance the unavailability or inefficiency caused by the delay of access process and bottleneck of the network due to the complex instance-based access control. We propose a security model on the type information based access control system that can enhance both security and availability by separating the functions delivered from CORBA and object-oriented databases. We apply the access control model specifically to enhancement of security system and also perform a test to verify the security and availability of our model.

  • Recently, there has been a lot of studies and efforts to strengthen the stability of critical infrastructures against increasing cyber attacks to critical infrastructures. In this thesis, I defined what cyber threats are, after showing you various definitions about what cyber threats are and what the types are. After studying about significant cyber threats from China, I showed you the realities of cyber threats with the analysis about starting points, types of cyber threats, ratios of attacks and so on. At last, I defined guidelines about unnecessary oversea IP range blocking. Also, I proposed unnecessary oversea IP range blocking methodologies with per information system and per network system. Furthermore, I proposed blocking characteristics per security equipment and security operation improvement and blocking effects and service process to normal oversea users.
