With GPS being the primary navigation system, Loran use is in steep decline. However, according to the final report of vulnerability assessment of the transportation infrastructure relying on the global positioning system prepared by the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, there are current attempts to enhance and re-popularize Loran as a GPS backup system through the characteristic of the ground based low frequency navigation system. To advance the Loran system such as Loran-C modernization and eLoran development, research is definitely needed in the field of Loran-C receiver signal processing as well as Loran-C signal design and the technology of a receiver. We have developed a set of Matlab tools, which implement a software Loran-C receiver that performs the receiver's position determination through the following procedure. The procedure consists of receiving the Loran-C signal, cycle selection, calculation of the TDOA and range, and receiver's position determination through the Least Square Method. We experiences the effect of an incorrect cycle selection and various error factors (ECD, ASF, sky wave, CRI, etc.) from the result of the Loran-C signal processing. It is apparent that researches which focus on the elimination and mitigation of various error factors need to be investigated on a software Loran-C receiver. These aspects will be explored in further work through the method such as PLL and Kalman filtering.

Open source software allows the users to freely use, copy, distribute and modify source code without any particular limitations, and this offers the advantages of low entry cost, fast and flexible development, compatibility, reliability and safety. The emergence of many useful open source projects has the advantage of achieving high levels of output with lower costs and time commitment for software development. However, this also increases the risks caused by the security vulnerabilities of the used open source software. There is still no separate process to verify security in using open source software. In this paper, we analyze the security weakness in open source and propose a secure coding scheme in adopting open source, which is known to be highly reliable from a security point of view.

Since smartphones are utilized in the ranges from personal usages to governmental data exchanges, known but not patched vulnerabilities in smartphone operating systems are considered as major threats to the public. To minimize potential security breaches on smartphones, it is necessary to estimate possible security threats. So far, there have been numerous studies conducted to evaluate the security risks caused by mobile devices qualitatively, but there are few quantitative manners. For a large scale risk evaluation, a qualitative assessment is a never ending task. In this paper, we try to calculate relative risk levels triggered by software vulnerabilities from unsecured smartphone operating systems (Android and iOS) among 51 Asian countries. The proposed method combines widely accepted risk representation in both theory and industrial fields. When policy makers need to make a strategic decision on mobile security related agendas, they might find the presented approach useful.

The seismic damage assessment to the postulated earthquake is attempted for the buildings in the model district of Seoul City. The capacity spectrum method is employed in which the vulnerability functions are expressed as functions of the spectral displacement. the database of the building stock is constructed and managed using Geographic Information System software. The model district is selected to represent the typical structural and residential characteristics of Seoul City The structural properties were collected from the design documents. The field inspections were carried out to find out the current status of the building. They are classified into 11 structural types. The fragility curves in HazUS are employed, The ground motions from the postulated earthquakes are simulated using the Boor's methods, The surface soil in the district is classified into 3 profiles using the depth as the parameter. The one-dimensional wave propagation method is used to calculate he filtered ground motion through surface soil layer. The average spectrum of this sample time histories is used as the demand curves. The calculated results are expressed in maps using GIS software ArcView 3.0a

Energetic particle strikes the device and induces data corruption in the configuration memory (CRAM), causing errors and even malfunctions in a system on chip (SoC). Software-based fault injection is a convenient way to assess device performance. In this paper, dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) is adopted to make fault injection on a Xilinx 16 nm FinFET Ultrascale+ MPSoC. And the reconfiguration module implements the Sobel and Gaussian image filtering, respectively. Fault injections are executed on the static and reconfiguration modules' bitstreams, respectively. Another contribution is that the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) method is applied to evaluate the system reliability, according to the obtained injection results. This paper proposes a software-based solution to estimate programmable device vulnerability.

Reports of rampant cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities raise growing concerns on the effectiveness of current Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) tools as an internet security device. Attentive to these concerns, this study aims to examine seven open-source SAST tools in order to account for their capabilities in detecting XSS vulnerabilities in PHP applications and to determine their performance in terms of effectiveness and analysis runtime. The representative tools - categorized as either text-based or graph-based analysis tools - were all test-run using real-world PHP applications with known XSS vulnerabilities. The collected vulnerability detection reports of each tool were analyzed with the aid of PhpStorm's data flow analyzer. It is observed that the detection rates of the tools calculated from the total vulnerabilities in the applications can be as high as 0.968 and as low as 0.006. Furthermore, the tools took an average of less than a minute to complete an analysis. Notably, their runtime is independent of their analysis type.

인터넷의 발전으로 인터넷을 통한 서비스가 증대하고 있다. 반면 응용 소프트웨어의 보안 취약점으로 인해 국가, 기업, 개인 모두에게 정보보호의 중요성이 더욱 강조 되고 있다. 임베디드 소프트웨어인 우주, 항공, 원자력 소프트웨어 등 오류 없이 수행되어야 하는 고안전성 소프트웨어의 개발기법은 이제 응용 소프트웨어의 보안강화 활동에 활용 되고 있다. 특히 시큐어 코딩 (Secure Coding)은 방어적 프로그램(Defensive Programming)을 포함하는 개념으로 소프트웨어의 안전성과 보안성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 범용 보안 취약가능성 분석 도구를 이용하여 소프트웨어의 취약 가능성을 분석하고 보안 취약점 유발 명령어를 분류한다. 그 다음에 시큐어 코딩 기법을 적용하여 취약한 코드를 개선하였다. 이러한 개선을 통해 보안 취약성 가능한 코드 부분을 손쉽게 수정하여 소프트웨어 보안을 개선할 수 있다.

The increased adoption of open source security management in supply chains is gaining worldwide attention. In particular, as security and threatening situations, such as solar winds, Kaseya ransomware, and Log4j vulnerability, are becoming more common in supply chains using software (SW)-defined networks, SW bills of materials (SBOMs) for SW products should be prepared to protect major countries like the United States. An SBOM provides SW component information and is expected to become required for SW supply chain management. We focus on SW supply chain management policies and SBOM trends in major countries and private organizations worldwide for safe SW use and determine the current status of Korea and ETRI's open source SW supply chain management trends.

IoT 산업의 규모가 커짐에 따라서 IoT 디바이스 간의 통신 프로토콜에 대한 위협도 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 IoT 프로토콜에 대한 보안의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 IoT 프로토콜 중 비교적 최근에 등장한 프로토콜인 CoAP 프로토콜에 대한 연구는 아직 충분하지 않으며, CoAP에 대한 기존의 연구는 커버리지를 고려하지 않은 퍼저를 사용하였다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 커버리지를 고려한 CoAP대상 퍼저를 개발하고 CoAP의 잠재적인 취약성을 점검한다. CoAP의 c 구현체인 libcoap 라이브러리를 대상으로 퍼징한 결과, 총 2개의 힙 버퍼 오버 플로우 취약점을 발견하였다.
