This paper presents a hybrid algorithm for solving security constrained OPF in interconnected power systems, which is based on the combined application of evolutionary programming (EP) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The objective functions are the minimization of generation fuel costs and system power losses. In OPF considering security, the outages are selected by contingency ranking method. The control variables are the active power of the generating units, the voltage magnitude of the generator, transformer tap settings and SVC setting. The state variables are the bus voltage magnitude, the reactive power of the generating unit, line flows and the tie line flow. The method proposed is applied to the modified IEEE 14buses model system.

The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol is most widely used as a security key exchange protocol on the Internet. Security policies used by the IKE protocol must be configured in advance, however the complex options and manual settings cause inconvenience. This paper proposes an automatic configuration method for the IKE protocol based on X.509 certificate. Security policies are embedded in the certificate, read, and added into the IKE configuration file by a negotiation assistant module in order to achieve automatic IKE configuration. Our proposed method reduces the complexity of configuration process and improves the adaptability of the IKE protocol.

Recently, RFID technology can successfully be used to reduce medical errors. This technology can aid in the accurate matching of patients with their medications and treatments. The enthusiasm for using RFID technology in medical settings has been tempered by privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient RFID authentication system to not only authenticate patients' authenticity but also protect patients' personal medical informations. The proposed system consists of RFID-based patient authentication protocol and database security protocol. As a result, since the proposed RFID authentication system provides strong security and efficiency, it can be used practically for patient authentication and personal medical information protection on the high technology medical environments such as u-Hospital and u-Healthcare.

Mobile applications today are being offered as various services depending on the mobile device and mobile environment of users. This increase in mobile applications has shifted the spotlight to their vulnerability. As an effective method of security verification, this paper proposes "phase-wise security verification for the implementation of mobile applications". This method allows additional security verification by covering specific items across a wider range compared to existing methods. Based on the identified weaknesses, it detects the cause of vulnerability and monitors the related settings.

With the changes in the modern computing landscape, securing containerized workloads and addressing the complexities of container networking have become critical issues. In particular, the complexity of network policy settings and the lack of cloud security architecture cause various security issues. This paper focuses on the importance of network security and efficiency in containerized environments, and analyzes the security features and performance of various container network interface plugins. In particular, the features and functions of Cilium, Calico, Weave Net, and Kube-router were compared and evaluated, and the Layer 3/4 and Layer 7 network policies and performance features provided by each plugin were analyzed. We found that Cilium and Calico provide a wide range of security features, including Layer 7 protocols, while Weave Net and Kube-router focus on Layer 3/4. We also found a decrease in throughput when applying Layer 3/4 policies and an increase in latency due to complex processing when applying Layer 7 policies. Through this analysis, we expect to improve our understanding of network policy and security configuration and contribute to building a safer and more efficient container networking environment in the future.

To protect sensitive personal information, data will be stored in encrypted form. However in order to retrieve these encrypted data without decryption, there need efficient search methods to enable the retrieval of the encrypted data. Until now, a number of searchable encryption schemes have been proposed but these schemes are not suitable when dynamic users who have the permission to access the data share the encrypted data. Since, in previous searchable encryption schemes, only specific user who is the data owner in symmetric key settings or has the secret key corresponding to the public key for the encrypted data in asymmetric key settings can access to the encrypted data. To solve this problem, Stephen S. Yau et al. firstly proposed the controlled privacy preserving keyword search scheme which can control the search capabilities of users according to access policies of the data provider. However, this scheme has the problem that the privacy of the data retrievers can be breached. In this paper, we firstly analyze the weakness of Stephen S. Yau et al.'s scheme and propose privacy preserving keyword search with access control. Our proposed scheme preserves the privacy of data retrievers.

A radio-frequency identification(RFID) tag is a small, inexpensive microchip that emits an identifier in response to a query from a nearby reader. The price of these tags promises to drop to the range of $0.05 per unit in the next several years, offering a viable and powerful replacement for barcodes. The challenge in providing security for low-cost RFID tags is that they are computationally weak devices, unable to perform even basic symmetric-key cryptographic operations. Security researchers often therefore assume that good privacy protection in RFID tags is unattainable. In this paper, we explore a notion of minimalist cryptography suitable for RFID tags. We consider the type of security obtainable in RFID devices with a small amount of rewritable memory, but very limited computing capability. Our aim is to show that standard cryptography is not necessary as a starting point for improving security of very weak RFID devices. Our contribution is threefold: 1. We propose a new formal security model for authentication and privacy in RFID tags. This model takes into account the natural computational limitations and the likely attack scenarios for RFID tags in real-world settings. It represents a useful divergence from standard cryptographic security modeling, and thus a new view of practical formalization of minimal security requirements for low-cost RFID-tag security. 2. We describe protocol that provably achieves the properties of authentication and privacy in RFID tags in our proposed model, and in a good practical sense. Our proposed protocol involves no computationally intensive cryptographic operations, and relatively little storage. 3. Of particular practical interest, we describe some reduced-functionality variants of our protocol. We show, for instance, how static pseudonyms may considerably enhance security against eavesdropping in low-cost RFID tags. Our most basic static-pseudonym proposals require virtually no increase in existing RFID tag resources.

In recent days, people used to store and share the data with other users through the web storage services. It is more convenient for using the data, but it raise problems such as access control of stored data and privacy exposure to untrusted server. Searchable encryption is used to share the data securely in multi-user setting. Especially in the multi-user setting, the revoked users should not be able to search the data and access the stored data. That is, it should be considered the security from revoked users. However in the existing schemes, the revoked users can decrypt the shared data by passive attack. Proposed scheme is the secure searchable encryption that resolves the problem and guarantees the security for revoked users.

This paper presents a windows program package for solving security constrained OPF in interconnected power systems, which is based on the combined application of evolutionary programming(EP) and sequential quadratic programming(SQP). The objective functions are the minimization of generation fuel costs and system power losses. The control variables are the active power of the generating units, the voltage magnitude of the generator, transformer tap settings and SVC setting. The state variables are the bus voltage magnitude, the reactive power of the generating unit, line flows and the tie line flow. In OPF considering security, the outages are selected by contingency ranking method. The resulting optimal operating point has to be feasible after outages such as any single line outage(respect of voltage magnitude, reactive power generation and power flow limits). The OPF package proposed is applied to 10 machines 39 buses model system.
