In parallel with evolving information communication technology, M2M(Machine-to-Machine) industry has implemented multi-functional and high-performance systems, and made great strides with IoT(Internet of Things) and IoE(Internet of Everything). Authentication, confidentiality, anonymity, non-repudiation, data reliability, connectionless and traceability are prerequisites for communication security. Yet, the wireless transmission section in M2M communication is exposed to intruders' attacks. Any security issues attributable to M2M wireless communication protocols may lead to serious concerns including system faults, information leakage and privacy challenges. Therefore, mutual authentication and security are key components of protocol design. Recently, secure communication protocols have been regarded as highly important and explored as such. The present paper draws on hash function, random numbers, secret keys and session keys to design a secure communication protocol. Also, this paper tests the proposed protocol with a formal verification tool, Casper/FDR, to demonstrate its security against a range of intruders' attacks. In brief, the proposed protocol meets the security requirements, addressing the challenges without any problems.

UMTS-WLAN interworking approach can make the best use of the advantages of both networks by eliminating the stand-alone defects of the two services. For the interworking mechanisms of WLANs and UMTS networks, two major solutions have been proposed, namely loose coupling and tight coupling. The loose coupling approach provides separate data paths for WLAN and UMTS. On the other hand, the tight coupling provides a full integration of the WLAN network and the UMTS core network. The loose coupling has been preferred due to the simplicity and less reconfiguration requirement. However, loose coupling is worse in seamless mobility, QoS provision, and network security. In order to lessen the problems involved in the UMTS-WLAN interworking approaches, we propose a new interworking network architecture and a fast vertical handover scheme by employing Mobility Anchor(MA) for interworking between the two different networks. MA can enable authentication and session initialization before L2 handover of the mobile terminal, so that the seamless and fast vertical handover become possible. Thru analysis and numerical experiments, we proved that the proposed scheme has been validated.

이동 통신은 대기를 전달매체로 하고 이동단말기를 사용하기 때문에 가로채기나 불법사용과 같은 공격에 취약하다. 이를 극복하기 위해, 이동 통신 환경에서 이동단말기와 기지국 사이에 안전한 통신을 제공하기 위한 많은 프로토콜들이 제안되어왔다. 그러나 이동단말기의 부족한 계산능력과 전력량 때문에 공개키를 이용한 프로토콜들은 많은 장점에도 불구하고 충분히 활용되지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 이동 통신 환경에서 기지국과 이동단말기 사이의 상호인증 및 세션키 공유 프로토콜들의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법은 이동단말기의 비밀 정보를 기지국에게 드러나게 하지 않으면서 많은 계산을 기지국으로 하여금 대신 수행하도록 하는 것이다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 프로토콜들을 최대 5배까지 성능을 향상시키며 해당하는 만큼 이동단말기의 전력량 소모를 감소시킬 수있다.Abstract Mobile communication is more vulnerable to security attacks such as interception and unauthorized access than fixed network communication. To overcome these problems, many protocols have been proposed to provide a secure channel between a mobile station and a base station. However, these public-key based protocols have not been fully utilized due to the poor computing power and small battery capacity of mobile stations. In this paper, we propose techniques for accelerating public-key based key establishment protocols between a mobile station and a base station. The proposed techniques enable a mobile station to borrow computing power from a base station without revealing its secret information. The proposed schemes accelerate the previous protocols up to five times and reduce the amount of power consumption of mobile stations.

TELNET is vulnerable to network attack because it was designed without considering security. SSL/TLS and SSH are used to solve this problem. However it needs additional secure protocol and has no backward compatibility with existing TELNET in this way. In this paper, we have suggested STELNET(Secured Telnet) which supports security functionalities internally so that has a backward compatibility. STELNET supports a backward compatibility with existing TELNET through option negotiation. On STELNET, A client authenticates server by a certificate or digital signature generated by using ECDSA. After server is authenticated, two hosts generate a session key by ECDH algorithm. And then by using the key, they encrypt data with AES and generate HMAC by using SHA-256. After then they transmit encrypted data and generated HMAC. In conclusion, STELNET which has a backward compatibility with existing TELNET defends MITM(Man-In-The-Middle) attack and supports security functionalities ensuring confidentiality and integrity of transmitted data.

The development of wireless communication technology and change in the ICT market has led to the development of the M2M service and technology. Under these circumstances, the M2M environment has been the focus of communication environment construction between machines without control or direct intervention of human being. With characteristics of wireless communication environment, the possibility of being exposed to numerous security threats and safe communication security technology have becoming an issue an important requirements for problems such as data exposure, forgery, modulation, deletion, and privacy. This research analyzes requirements of trapdoor collision hash, generates keys between groups under the M2M environment by using the specificity of trapdoor, and suggests technology to exchange keys with session keys. Further, it also suggests techniques to confirm authentication of device and gateway in accordance with group key generation. The techniques herein suggested are confirmed as safe methods in that they have attack resistance such as Masquerade Attack, Man-in-the-Middle Attack, and Replay Attack in the group communication block by using the speciality of collision message and collision hash.

Wireless sensor networks will be broadly deployed in the real world and widely utilized for various applications. A prerequisite for secure communication among the sensor nodes is that the nodes should share a session key to bootstrap their trust relationship. The open problems are how to verify the identity of communicating nodes and how to minimize any information about the keys disclosed to the other side during key agreement. At any rate, any one of the existing schemes cannot perfectly solve these problems due to some drawbacks. Accordingly, we propose a new pre-distribution scheme with the following merits. First, it supports authentication services. Second, each node can only find some indices of key spaces that are shared with the other side, without revealing unshared key information. Lastly, it substantially improves resilience of network against node capture. Performance and security analyses have proven that our scheme is suitable for sensor networks in terms of performance and security aspects.

A RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system receives attention as the technology which can realize the ubiquitous computing environment. However, the feature of the RFID tags may bring about new threats to the security and privacy of individuals. Recently, Juels proposed the minimalist cryptography for very low-cost RFID tags, which is secure. but only under the impractical assumption such that an adversary is allowed to eavesdrop only the pre-defined number of sessions. In this paper, we propose a scheme to protect privacy for very low-cost RFID systems. The proposed protocol uses only bit-wise operations without my costly cryptographic function such as hashing, encryption which is secure which is secure against an adversary who is allowed to eavesdrop transmitted message in every session any impractical assumption. The proposed scheme also is more efficient since our scheme requires less datas as well as few number of computations than Juels's scheme.

A new type of malware that extracts personal and account data over an extended period of time and that apparently is resistant to detection by vaccines has been identified. Generally, a malware is installed on a computer through network-to-network connections by utilizing Web vulnerabilities that contain injection, XSS, broken authentication and session management, or insecure direct-object references, among others. After the malware executes registration of an arbitrary service and an arbitrary process on a computer, it then periodically communicates the collected confidential information to a hacker. This paper is a systematic approach to analyzing a new type of malware called "winweng," a kind of worm that frequently made appearances during the first half of 2011. The research describes how the malware came to be in circulation, how it infects computers, how its operations expose its existence and suggests improvements in responses and countermeasures. Keywords: Malware, Worm, Winweng, SNORT.

Juliano Rizzo and Thai Duong, the authors of the BEAST attack [11, 12] on SSL, have proposed a new attack named CRIME [13] which is Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy. The CRIME exploits how data compression and encryption interact to discover secret information about the underlying encrypted data. Repeating this method allows an attacker to eventually decrypt the data and recover HTTP session cookies. This security weakness targets in SPDY and SSL/TLS compression. The attack becomes effective because the attacker is enable to choose different input data and observe the length of the encrypted data that comes out. Since Transport Layer Security (TLS) ensures integrity of data transmitted between two parties (server and client) and provides strong authentication for both parties, in the last few years, it has a wide range of attacks on SSL/TLS which have exploited various features in the TLS mechanism. In this paper, we will discuss about the CRIME and other versions of SSL/TLS attacks along with countermeasures, implementations. We also present direction for SSL/TLS attacks resistance in practice.
