Organizations and other institutions have recently started using cloud service providers to store and share information in light of the Internet of Things (IoT). The major issues with this storage are preventing unauthorized access and data theft from outside parties. The Block chain based Security Sharing scheme with Data Access Control (BSSDAC) was implemented to improve access control and secure data transaction operations. The goal of this research is to strengthen Data Access Control (DAC) and security in IoT applications. To improve the security of personal data, cypher text-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption (CP-ABE) can be developed. The Aquila Optimization Algorithm (AOA) generates keys in the CP-ABE. DAC based on a block chain can be created to maintain the owner's security. The block chain based CP-ABE was developed to maintain secures data storage to sharing. With block chain technology, the data owner is enhancing data security and access management. Finally, a block chain-based solution can be used to secure data and restrict who has access to it. Performance of the suggested method is evaluated after it has been implemented in MATLAB. To compare the proposed method with current practices, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are both used.

Recently, the importance of collecting, analyzing, and real-time sharing of various cybersecurity data has emerged in order to effectively respond to intelligent and advanced cyber threats. To cope with this situation, Korea is making efforts to expand its cybersecurity data sharing system, but many private companies are unable to participate in the cybersecurity data sharing system due to a lack of budget and professionals to collect cybersecurity data. In order to solve such problems, this paper analyzes the research and development trends of existing domestic and foreign cyber security data sharing systems, and based on that, propose a cybersecurity data sharing system model with a hierarchical structure that considers the size of the organization and a step-by-step security policy that can be applied to the model. In the case of applying the model proposed in this paper, it is expected that various private companies can expand their participation in cybersecurity data sharing systems and use them to prepare a response system to respond quickly to intelligent security threats.

With the development of information and communication technology, we have been able to access and manage documents containing corporate information anytime and anywhere using smart devices. As the work environment changes to smart work, the scope of information distribution is expanded, and more efforts are needed to manage security. This paper proposes a file sharing system that enables users who have smart devices to manage and share files through mutual cooperation. Proposed file sharing system, the user can add a partner to share files with each other when uploading files kept by spliting the part of the file and the other uses an algorithm to store on the server. After converting the file to be uploaded to base64, it splits it into encrypted files among users, and then transmits it to the server when it wants to share. It is easy to manage and control files using dedicated application to view files and has high security. Using the system developed with proposed algorithm, it is possible to build a system with high efficiency even for SMEs(small and medium-sized enterprises) that can not pay much money for security.

The rise in popularity of cloud services has brought about a heightened concern for security in the field of cloud computing. As a response, governments have implemented CSAP(Cloud Security Assurance Program) to ensure the security of these services. However, despite such measures, the emergence of various security vulnerabilities persists, resulting in incidents related to cloud security breaches. To address this, the utilization of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) has been proposed as a means to facilitate the sharing of vulnerability information across different domains. Nevertheless, the unique characteristics of cloud services present challenges in assigning CVE IDs to the diverse range of vulnerabilities within the cloud environment. In this study, we analyzed how CVE can be effectively employed to enhance cloud security. The assignment of a CVE ID is contingent upon the fulfillment of three rules in the Counting Decision and five rules in the Inclusion Decision. Notably, the third rule in the Inclusion Decision, INC3, clashes with the nature of cloud services, resulting in obstacles in assigning CVE IDs to various cloud vulnerabilities. To tackle this issue, we suggest the appointment of designated individuals who would be responsible for overseeing specific areas of cloud services, thereby enabling the issuance of CVE IDs. This proposed approach aims to overcome the challenges associated with the unique characteristics of cloud services and ensure the seamless sharing of vulnerability information. Information sharing regarding vulnerabilities is crucial in the field of security, and by incorporating cloud vulnerabilities into the CVE system, this method can contribute to enhancing the security of cloud services.

The domestic threat information sharing system to deal with various security threats in the rapidly changing cyber environment needs to be improved. In this study, to solve these problems and promote the activation of threat information sharing, we derive a research model based on the value-based containment model (VAM) for vital factors in information sharing. After conducting a Ricardian 5-point survey on a total of 204 individuals, the statistical results of the first 151 individuals were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS, and the statistical results of the second 204 individuals were analyzed using R-Studio. As a result, perceivability was found to have a significant impact as a core factor in the activation of cyber threat information sharing (β=0.405, p<0.01), and the hindrance factor was analyzed as innovation resistance (β=-0.152, p<0.01). Microscopically, the obtained results can be applied to factor analysis for activating information sharing of cyber threats by companies in the future, and macroscopically, they can contribute to the foundational development of a national cyber threat response system.

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act(CISA) of 2015, enacted in December 2015, is one of the greatest achievements of cybersecurity legislation in the United States. The promotion of cybersecurity information sharing is one of the tasks to improve cybersecurity governance in Korea. So it is an important issue to be addressed in cybersecurity legislation in Korea in the near future. CISA has many implications for cybersecurity legislation in Korea. Nevertheless, it is difficult to find preceding research that explain the content of CISA and study its normative meaning in Korea. Therefore, in this paper, the contents of the CISA is identified and its normative meaning and implication is found in five categories: definition of terms, establishment of information sharing procedures and conditions, promotion of voluntary information sharing by the private sector, checks on the executive branch and report to the Congress, and other matters. CISA facilitates information sharing based on willingness, while eliminating the side effects that may arise in the information sharing process. It is necessary to appropriately apply the good points of CISA to the cybersecurity legal system in Korea.

People have transferred their business model from traditional commerce to e-commerce in recent decades. Both shopping and payment can be completed through the Internet and bring convenience to consumers and business opportunities to industry. These trade techniques are mostly set up based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL provides the security for transaction information and is easy to set up, which makes it is widely accepted by individuals. Although attackers cannot obtain the real content even when the transferred information is intercepted, still there is risk for online trade. For example, it is impossible to prevent credit card information from being stolen by virtual merchant. Therefore, we propose a new mechanism to solve such security problem. We make use of the disposable dynamic security code (DSC) to replace traditional card security code. So even attackers get DSC for that round of transaction, they cannot use it for the next time. Besides, we apply visual secret sharing techniques to transfer the DSC, so that interceptors cannot retrieve the real DSC even for one round of trade. This way, we can improve security of credit card transaction and reliability of online business. The experiments results validate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed mechanism.

The key establishment between nodes is one of the most important issues to secure the communication in wireless sensor networks. Some researcher used the probabilistic key sharing scheme with a pre-shared key pool to reduce the number of keys and the key disclosure possibility. However, there is a potential possibility that some nodes do not have a common share in the key pool. The purpose of this paper is to devise a peer to peer key sharing protocol (PPKP) based on Quorum system and Diffie-Hellman key exchange scheme (DHS). The PPKP establishes a session key by creating a shared key using the DHS and then scrambles it based on Quorum system to secure that. The protocol reduces the number of necessary keys than the previous schemes and could solve the non-common key sharing possibility problem in the probabilistic schemes.

As the 'hyper-connected society' has emerged through the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution, public interests as well as social dangers have increased. Above all, the risk of infringement of information, including confidential personal information, is dramatically increasing. As the hyper-connected society has been realized, even if only one of the internet devices is hacked, there would be a danger that the ripple effect of such a hacking spreads to the whole network. Therefore, the necessity and importance of information security, including cybersecurity, has been increasing. In other words, the stability of cyberspace and internet space is becoming more important. As a result, the Korean government is seeking to build a legal system related to information security, which would be able to cope with the information infringement problem in the hyper-connected society. However, it seems that the government is still struggling with the direction of building such a legal system. In this context, a comparative review examining the legal systems of advanced foreign countries will provide meaningful implications as to what kinds of legal policies we should devise and implement for information security. In particular, the U.S. legislative act that actively responds to the cybersecurity violations is worthy of reference. For this reason, this article systematically analyzes the current status of the U.S. cybersecurity laws. Especially, this article focuses on the "Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015"(hereinafter "CISA"), that was recently enacted by the U.S. congress. The CISA prescribes the systemic and detailed information-sharing between national and private entities. The CISA, that actively promotes information-sharing, is full of suggestions for us, in that information-sharing is an effective way to properly realize information security in today's hyper-connected society.

We propose a quantum secret sharing protocol which can authenticate more than half of members using GHZ state swapping. The Trusted Third Party, Trent can authenticate all members using previously shared ID among Trent distributing his message and the members wanting to reconstruct the message. Authenticated members can reconstruct a secret message through GHZ swapping. Moreover, this protocol is efficient to expand the number of members to arbitrary number n, so it is a close quantum secret sharing protocol to classical secret sharing protocol.
