As smart TVs have recently emerged as the center of the IoT ecosystem, their importance is increasing. If a vulnerability occurs within a smart TV, there is a possibility that it will cause financial damage, not just in terms of privacy invasion and personal information leakage due to sniffing and theft. Therefore, in this paper, to enhance the completeness of smart TV vulnerability analysis, STRIDE threat classification are used to systematically identify threats. In addition, through the manufacture of the Attack Tree and the actual vulnerability analysis, the effectiveness of the checklist was verified and security requirements were derived for the safe smart TV use environment.

As the memory capacity of smartphone increases, the type and amount of privacy stored in the smartphone is also increasing. but recently there is an increasing possibility that various personal information such as photos and videos of smartphones may be leaked due to malicious apps by malicious attackers or other people such as repair technicians. This paper analyzed and studied the security and vulnerability of these vault apps by analyzing the cryptography algorithm and data protection function. We analyzed 5.3.7(June 13, 2022) and 3.3.2(December 30, 2020) versions of AppLock, the most downloaded information-hidding apps registered with Google Play, and found various vulnerabilities. In the case of access control, there was a vulnerability in that values for encrypting patterns entered by users were hardcoded into plain text in the source code, and encrypted pattern values were stored in xml files. In addition, in the case of the vault function, there was a vulnerability in that the files and log files for storing in the vault were not encrypted.

Lately smartphone uasage is increasing and many Internet of Things (IoT) devices support wireless communications. Accordingly, small base stations which called femtocells are supplied to prevent saturation of existing base stations. However, unlike the original purpose of the femtocell with the advanced hacking technologies, Vulnerability such as gaining the administrator authority was discovered and this can cause serious problems such as the leakage of personal information of femtocell user. Therefore, identify security threats that may occur in the femtocell and it is necessary to ways for systematic vulnerability analysis. In this paper, We analyzed the security threats that can be generated in the femtocell and constructed a checklist for vulnerability analysis using the Threat Modeling method. Then, using the constructed checklist provides a scheme that can improve the safety of the femto cell through the actual analysis and taken the results of the femtocell vulnerabilities analysis.

Smart Phone supplies are diffused and substitute the Internet PC with Mobile communications which they are applied. Smart Phone in Smart Grid where electric power watch and the IT of existing amalgamate are used with business. Consequently from Smart Grid network connections which lead Smart Phone in about connection and control in about security vulnerabilities and Smart Grid networks the research is necessary in about vulnerability. It uses Smart Phone from the present paper and when approaching electric power watch systems which lead Smart Grid networks, it researches in about connection vulnerability. Also it uses Smart Phone and after connecting in Smart Grid networks a vulnerability in seizure possibility and, electric power information and control information, about private data etc. access authority it analyzes with the problem point which occurs it confronts it researches. And the research direction for a security reinforcement under presenting boil in about Smart Grid network security vulnerabilities which lead Smart Phone.

The AI speaker is a simple operation that provides users with useful functions such as music playback, online search, and so the AI speaker market is growing at a very fast pace. However, AI speakers always wait for the user's voice, which can cause serious problems such as eavesdropping and personal information exposure if exposed to security threats. Therefore, in order to provide overall improved security of all AI speakers, it is necessary to identify potential security threats and analyze them systematically. In this paper, security threat modeling is performed by selecting four products with high market share. Data Flow Diagram, STRIDE and LINDDUN Threat modeling was used to derive a systematic and objective checklist for vulnerability checks. Finally, we proposed a method to improve the security of AI speaker by comparing the vulnerability analysis results and the vulnerability of each product.

The USB flash drive is common used for portable storage. That is able to store large data and transfer data quickly and carry simply. But when you lose your USB flash drive without any security function in use, all stored data will be exposed. So the new USB flash drive supported security function was invented to compensate for the problem. In this paper, we analyze vulnerability of 6 control access program for secure USB flash drives. And we show that exposed password on communication between secure USB flash drive and PC. Also we show the vulnerability of misapplication for initialization. Further we develop a protection profile for secure USB flash drive based on the common criteria version 3.1. Finally, we examine possible threat of 6 secure USB flash drives and supports of security objectives which derived from protection profile.

Nowadays, software plays various roles in applications in wide areas. However, the security problems caused by software vulnerabilities increase. So, it is necessary to improve software security and safety in software execution. In this paper, we propose an approach to improve the safety of software execution by managing information used in software through static data access analysis. The approach can detect the exposures of secure data in software execution by analyzing information property and flows through static data access analysis. In this paper, we implemented and experimented the proposed approach with a base language, and verify that the proposed approach can effectively detect the exposures of secure information. The proposed approach can be applied in several areas for improving software safety by analysing vulnerabilities from information flows in software execution.

A number of three party key exchange protocols using smart card in effort to reduce server side workload and two party password based key exchange authentication protocols has been proposed. In this paper, we introduce the survey and analysis on security vulnerability of smart card based three party authenticated key exchange protocols. Furthermore, we analyze Kwak et al's password based key exchange and authentication protocols which have shown security weakness such as Shim et al's off-line password guessing attack and propose the countermeasure to deter such attack.

군사 목적으로 사용되던 드론이 일반 사용자를 위한 범용 드론으로 활용 분야가 확장됨에 따라, 국방 및 운송, 물류, 농업과 같은 다양한 분야에서 활용되는 실정이며, 이와 관련된 산업의 발전에 기여하고 있다. 그러나 급격한 발전으로 인하여, 드론의 안전성은 고려하지 못한 한계점이 존재하였고, 이는 드론에서의 다양한 보안위협으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 4차 산업 혁명 시대의 핵심 기술인 드론의 안전성을 향상시키기 위한 목적으로, 드론의 신규 취약점을 발굴하고 실증하였다. 실험을 위하여, 최근 출시된 G 제품을 대상으로, 드론에서 발생 가능한 다양한 취약점 중 하나인 GPS 스푸핑 공격을 시도하였으며, 실험 결과, GPS 좌표를 변조함으로써, 비행이 가능한 구역에서 비행 금지 구역으로 인식하도록 좌표를 조작하였으며, 비행 금지 구역으로 인식한 드론은 준비된 동작에 따라, 강제로 착륙시키거나 다른 장소로 이동시키는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문의 결과는 드론의 안전성을 향상시키기 위한 참고 자료로 활용될 것으로 사료된다.
