As the utilization value of personal information becomes higher, discussions about providing personal information are being conducted actively. One of the most common methods of providing personal information is that a group obtains a personal information with a consent of individual. However, the above method has 2 problems. First, more information is exposed than the information required by organization for utilization of personal information. Second, trusted party should provide organization with an authentication of personal information whenever they require personal information. To solve these problems, we propose a personal information management system with blockchain using zk-SNARK(zero-knowledge Succinct Non-interactive ARgument of Knowledge) for privacy. Our proposal enables individuals to guarantee reliability of their information and protect their privacy concurrently using zk-SNARK when they provid organization with their personal information. In addition, it is possible to manage the personal information data while ensuring the integrity of the data using blockchain and it is possible to share the personal information more conveniently than existing systems.

The smart card with the cryptography and VLSI technologies makes it possible to implement the electronic cash easily. A number of electronic each schemes have been proposed by many cryptographic researchers. In this paper, we propose a practical electronic cash system, using blind digital signature scheme. Schnorr's authentication scheme based on the discrete logarithm problem, and the hierarchical cash tree based on two one-way hash functions for dividable payment. Thisf electronic cash scheme has such properties as privacy of the payment, off-line payment, non-reuseability of cash, transferability of cash to another customer, and dividable payment of cash. This electronic cash protocol is well suited for implementing in smart card.

As IoT(Internet of Things) devices become common, many algorithms have been developed to protect users' personal information. The laser fault injection attack that threatens those algorithms is a side-channel analysis that intentionally injects a laser beam to the outside of a device to acquire confidential information or abnormal privileges of the system. There are many studies to determine the timing of fault injection to reduce the number of necessary fault injections, but the location to inject faults is only repeatedly searched for the entire area of the device. However, when fault injection is performed in an algorithm-independent area, the attacker cannot obtain the intended faulted statement or attempt to bypass authentication, so finding areas vulnerable to fault injection and performing an attack is an important consideration in achieving a high attack success rate. In this paper, we show that a 100% attack success rate can be achieved by determining the vulnerable areas for fault injection by using electromagnetic and thermal information generated from the device's chip. Based on this, we propose an efficient fault injection attack system.

The information security management system (ISMS) and the personal information management system (PIMS) have been integrated into a personal information & information security management system (ISMS-P) certification scheme in response to requests to reduce the time and cost to prepare certification schemes. Integration of the certification system has made it possible for the system operator to gain the advantage of easy management of the ISMS-P certification system, and the certification target organization can enjoy the advantage of easy acquisition and maintenance of certification. However, ambiguity in the application criteria of the target organization, and ambiguity in the certification criteria control items require the target organization to operate an excessive management system, and the legal basis to be applied to the certification target organization is ambiguous. In order to improve these problems, this paper uses case studies to identify the types of certification bodies that apply the certification criteria, and to change the control items applied during certification audits based on the types of certification bodies. Institutions that wish to obtain only ISMS certification have proposed three solutions, excluding controls covered by the ISMS-P. This paper suggests ways to operate an efficient certification system, and can be used as a basis for improving problems in the ISMS-P certification system.

Biometric-based authentication can provide strong security guarantee about the identity of users. However, security of biometric data is particularly important as the compromise of the data will be permanent. In this paper, we propose a secure and efficient protocol to transmit fingerprint images from a fingerprint sensor to a client by exploiting characteristics of fingerprint images. Because the fingerprint sensor is computationally limited, however, such encryption algorithm may not be applied to the full fingerprint images in real-time. To reduce the computational workload on the resource-constrained sensor, we apply the encryption algorithm to a specific bitplane of each pixel of the fingerprint image. We use the LSB as specific bitplane instead of MSB used to encrypt general multimedia contents because simple attacks can reveal the fingerprint ridge information even from the MSB-based encryption. Based on the experimental results, our proposed algorithm can reduce the execution time of the full encryption by a factor of six and guarantee both the integrity and the confidentiality without any leakage of the ridge information.

As concern about IoT is increasing recently, various IoT services are being launched. Smart home is closely related to our daily life by combining IoT with user's residential space. Therefore, if an unauthorized user accesses a device inside a Smart home, it can cause more serious damage to user as it is related with daily lives. For instance executing the command allowing unauthenticated access for the internal locking device can be a real harm to user's property like a home invasion. To prevent this problem, this paper introduces 3PAKE Techniques, which provides authenticated Key exchange through Home gateway using Password-based Authenticated Key Exchange(PAKE).

Spring framework is widely used as a base technology for e-government frameworks and to the extent it is a standard for web service development tools of Korean public institutions. However, recently, a remote code execution vulnerability(CVE-2018-1270) was found in an application using a spring framework. This paper proposes a method of analyzing the vulnerability experiment using a hacking scenario, Proof Of Concept(POC), in which the spring framework is a hazard to the server. We propose the patch to version 4.3.16 and version 5.0.5 or later as an ultimate response. It is also expected that the proposed experiment analysis on vulnerability of hacking scenario will be used as a data for improving performance of security programs and establishing a new authentication system.

A wide range of studies in various disciplines has focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS). However, it is necessary to summarize the current status and to establish future directions because each study has its own individual goals independent of the completion of all IoT applications. The absence of a comprehensive understanding of IoT and CPS has disrupted an efficient resource allocation. To assess changes in the knowledge structure and emerging technologies, this study explores the dynamic research trends in IoT by analyzing bibliographic data. We retrieved 54,237 keywords in 12,600 IoT studies from the Scopus database, and conducted keyword frequency, co-occurrence, and growth-rate analyses. The analysis results reveal how IoT technologies have been developed and how they are connected to each other. We also show that such technologies have diverged and converged simultaneously, and that the emerging keywords of trust, smart home, cloud, authentication, context-aware, and big data have been extracted. We also unveil that the CPS is directly involved in network, security, management, cloud, big data, system, industry, architecture, and the Internet.

Recently 5G technology is one of the technologies that has been receiving much positive responses from users as it is integrated with virtual technology. However, 5G's security issues have not been fully resolved and more security is soon required. In this paper, an approach technique is proposed as a probability-based hierarchy to provide personal privacy for 5G-based IoT users more safely. The proposed technique is aimed at not exposing the privacy of IoT users to third parties by using two random keys created personally by IoT users. In order to satisfy both safety and efficiency, the proposed technology divides the privacy of IoT users into two layers. In the first stage, IoT users will control access to intermediate media using anonymous keys generated by IoT users, and in the second stage, information of IoT users registered with servers will be darkened and replicated. The proposed technique has improved the accuracy of the privacy protection of IoT users as they assign weights to layered information after layering users' privacy information on a probabilistic basis.

The smart factory has spread to small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs) under the leadership of the government. Smart factory consists of a work area, an operation management area, and an industrial control system (ICS) area. However, each site is combined with the IT system for reasons such as the convenience of work. As a result, various breaches could occur due to the weakness of the IT system. This study seeks to discover the items and vulnerabilities that SMEs who have difficulties in information security due to technology limitations, human resources, and budget should first diagnose and check. First, to compare the existing domestic and foreign smart factory vulnerability classification systems and improve the current classification system, the latest smart factory vulnerability information is collected from NVD, CISA, and OWASP. Then, significant keywords are extracted from pre-processing, co-occurrence network analysis is performed, and the relationship between each keyword and vulnerability is discovered. Finally, the improvement points of the classification system are derived by mapping it to the existing classification system. Therefore, configuration and maintenance, communication and network, and software development were the items to be diagnosed and checked first, and vulnerabilities were denial of service (DoS), lack of integrity checking for communications, inadequate authentication, privileges, and access control in software in descending order of importance.
