  • 공격자는 시스템에 침입하기 위해 취약점을 수집하며 여러 공격방법을 통해 루트권한을 획득하게 된다. 루트권한을 획득한 공격자는 공격 시스템에 루트킷을 설치하여 침입에 대한 흔적을 숨기고 차후 침입을 위한 백도어를 남기게 되는데 최근 등장한 커널 기반의 루트킷은 시스템에 대한 침입 탐지를 어렵게 하고 있다. 이러한 공격에 대응하기 위해 침입탐지 및 차단을 위한 보안 시스템들이 많이 개발되어 왔지만 공격자들은 보안 시스템들을 우회하여 시스템에 침입하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 루트권한을 획득한 공격자의 불법행위를 막기 위해 시스템 보안 강화 LKM을 설계, 구현하며 중요 파일의 변조와 루트킷의 실치를 막고 공격자의 불법행위를 관리자에게 실시간으로 알릴 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

  • 본 논문에서는 네트워크 기반 분산 침입탐지 시스템을 위한 커널 수준 침입탐지 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 탐지분석으로 침입탐지 과정을 분리하고 침입탐지 규칙 생성 요구에 대한 침입탐지 자료구조로의 변환을 사용자 응용 프로그램 수준에서 수행하며 생성된 자료구조의 포인터 연결을 커널 수준에서 수행한다. 침입탐지 규칙 변경은 노드를 삭제하지 않고 삭제표시만 수행하고 새로운 노드를 추가하는 삭제마크 띤 노드추가 방식 통하여 수행한다 제안하는 기법은 탐지과정의 분리를 통해 분산 네트워크 환경에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있으며 커널기반 침입탐지 방식을 사용하여 사용자 응용 프로그램으로 동작하는 에이전트기반의 침입탐지 기법에 비해 탐지속도가 빠르다. 침입탐지 규칙 변경은 삭제마크 및 노드추가 방식을 통해서 규칙변경과 침입탐지를 동시에 수행하기 위한 커널의 부하를 줄일 수 있다. 이를 통해 다양한 네트워크 공격에 대하여 신속하게 대응할 수 있다. 그러므로, 서비스거부 공격과 같이 네트워크 과부하가 발생하는 환경에서도 신속한 침입탐지와 탐지효율을 증가시킬 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

  • In this paper, we proposed and modeled a video contents protection system based on the infectious information hiding(IIH) technique as using characteristics of biological viruses. Our proposed IIH System considered the requisite important information for video contents protection as the infectious virus, and suggested a new paradigm about video contents protection that transmitted infectious information from contents(host) or video CODECs(viral vector). Also, we modeled the Pathogen, Mutant and Contagion virus as the infectious information and defined technical tools about verification of infectious information, kernel based IIH, contents based IIH and creation/regeneration of infectious information as main techniques for our IIH system. Finally, through simulations that carried the infectious information by using conventional information hiding algorithms as kernel based and contents based IIH techniques, we verified possibilities of our proposed IIH system.

  • In recent years, there are increasing threats of rootkits that undermine the integrity of a system by manipulating OS kernel. To cope with the rootkits, in Vigilare, the snoop-based monitoring which snoops the memory traffics of the host system was proposed. Although the previous work shows its detection capability and negligible performance loss, the problem is that the proposed design is not acceptable in recent commodity mobile application processors (APs) which have become de facto the standard computing platforms of smart devices. To mend this problem and adopt the idea of snoop-based monitoring in commercial products, in this paper, we propose a snoop-based monitor design called S-Mon, which is designed for the AP platforms. In designing S-Mon, we especially consider two design constraints in the APs which were not addressed in Vigilare; the unified memory model and the crossbar switch interconnect. Taking into account those, we derive a more realistic architecture for the snoop-based monitoring and a new hardware module, called the region controller, is also proposed. In our experiments on a simulation framework modeling a productionquality device, it is shown that our S-Mon can detect the rootkit attacks while the runtime overhead is also negligible.

  • Android file system is vulnerable to the external access of system resources via its arbitrary access mode and need user's control for SD and UMS medias due to its open architecture. In response to the device control, there is a drawback that its controlability is valid only in the case of embedded linux kernel with VDC function. Hence the solution is to directly implement VDC through system call, with another security module for device storage than system module being added to android system. In this paper the new method of android storage access control for personal information is proposed via VDC for mount system of storage. The access method for SD and UMS were implemented using VDC and mount mechanism. This access control system has been designed to control the granted users in kernel level if files are flowed out by copying. As a result, it was proved through testing that the access control system has exactly detected the write access operation.

  • Objective: This study consisted of two stages; the first was to determine the effect of extrusion and sieving treatments on the chemical properties of palm kernel cake (PKC), and accordingly, a follow-up experiment (second stage) was conducted to determine and compare the apparent metabolizable energy (AME), and protein and amino acid digestibility of extruded and sieved PKC. Methods: Two physical treatments, namely extrusion (using temperature profiles of 90℃/100℃/100℃, 90℃/100℃/110℃, and 90℃/100℃/120℃) and sieving (to 8 particles sizes ranging from >8.00 to 0.15 mm) were carried out to determine their effects on chemical properties, primarily crude protein (CP) and fiber contents of PKC. Based on the results from the above study, PKC that extruded with temperature profile 90/100/110℃ and of sieved size between 1.5 to 0.15 mm (which made up of near 60% of total samples) were used to determine treatments effect on AME and CP and amino acid digestibility. The second stage experiment was conducted using 64 male Cobb 500 chickens randomly assigned to 16 cages (4 cages [or replicates] per treatment) to the following four dietary groups: i) basal (control) diet, ii) basal diet containing 20% untreated PKC, iii) basal diet containing 20% extruded PKC (EPKC), and iv) basal diet containing 20% sieved PKC (SPKC). Results: Extrusion and sieving had no effect on CP and ash contents of PKC, however, both treatments reduced (p<0.05) crude fiber by 21% and 19%, respectively. Overall, extrusion and sieving reduced content of most of the amino acids except for aspartate, glutamate, alanine and lysine which increased, while serine, cysteine and tryptophan remained unchanged. Extrusion resulted in 6% increase (p<0.05) in AME and enhanced CP digestibility (p<0.05) by 32%, as compared to the untreated PKC while sieving had no effect on AME but improved CP digestibility by 39% which was not significantly different from that by extrusion. Conclusion: Extrusion is more effective than sieving and serves as a practical method to enhance AME and digestibility of CP and several amino acids in broiler chickens.

  • In this paper, we propose quantitative evaluation method that enable security comparison between Security Container Runtimes. security container runtime technologies have been developed to address security issues such as Container escape caused by containers sharing the host kernel. However, most literature provides only a analysis of the security of container technologies using rough metrics such as the number of available system calls, making it difficult to compare the secureness of container runtimes quantitatively. While the proposed model uses a new method of combining the degree of exposure of host system calls with various external vulnerability metrics. With the proposed technique, we measure and compare the security of runC (Docker default Runtime) and two representative Security Container Runtimes, gVisor, and Kata container.

  • This paper reviews the current studies about the current secure OS, security module and SELinux, and suggests Linux access control module that uses the user discriminating authentication, security authority inheritance of subjects and objects, reference monitor and MAC class process and real-time audit trailing using DB. First, during the user authentication process, it distinguishes the access permission IP and separates the superuser(root)'s authority from that of the security manager by making the users input the security level and the protection category. Second, when the subjects have access to the objects through security authority inheritance of subjects and objects, the suggested system carries out the access control by comparing the security information of the subjects with that of the objects. Third, this system implements a Reference Monitor audit on every current events happening in the kernel. As it decides the access permission after checking the current MAC security attributes, it can block any malicious intrusion in advance. Fourth, through the real-time audit trailing system, it detects all activities in the operating system, records them in the database and offers the security manager with the related security audit data in real-time.
