현 시대는 유형적인 물질 보다 무형적인 정보의 가치가 중요시되고 있다. 특히 소프트웨어의 불법 복제는 정보화 시대의 가장 큰 역기능으로 작용할 뿐 아니라 국가 신용도를 평가하는 중요한 항목으로 자리 매김하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 상용화된 소프트웨어 불법복제 방지 제품들은 복제방지 기술이 미약하여 쉽게 락이 크랙 되어 복제방지의 기능을 발휘 할 수 없는 것들이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 복제방지 전용 칩을 사용하여 하나의 락으로 여러 소프트웨어를 동시에 보호하는 기능뿐만 아니라 IBM PC 호환기종의 USB 인터페이스를 가지는 정보 보안 모듈의 설계한다.

Recently, malicious code infiltration and leakage of confidential documents using external USB medium are frequently occurring in each field. We investigate the media to investigate incidents using external USB media, but there are many difficulties in that they can be lost or damaged. Ultimately, in order to investigate cases of external USB media, it is necessary to conduct a direct analysis of the external USB media as well as the system to which the media is connected. This paper describes an analysis of the artifacts of Windows systems to which external USB media is connected, and how to check the job history on the media. Therefore, it is expected that the system can be used to analyze the job history of the USB medium even if the external USB medium is not secured.

The previous security system was PCI way which has many difficulties for PC novices to use. Moreover the security programs in use are mostly unverified ones as they are using cracks, and are exposed to attacks such as hackers and viruses. Therefore this thesis describes to design the security system of Twofish cryptographic algorithm using USB, which it can be used in general-purpose computers and users can handle it with ease. Users can easily use the security system by using this USB and it is applicable to various security systems that Twofish cryptographic algorithm used in the security system by having variable key length. Also the efficiency of the system can be enhanced as it can perform both encryption and decryption and it has a benefit of downsizing hardware.

Now a days, the development of TV and internet like communicational technique makes IPTV service which combines internet with multimedia contents increase. But when a user gets service in specific place, the certification process and user's ID check in IPTV service is complicate so that there occurs communicational difficulty like increasing illegal users and service delay etc. This paper proposes communication security mechanism to prevent Clone attack which happens in wireless section by efficiently extracting illegal user. The proposed mechanism performs key distribution procedure, inter certification procedure, and key initiation procedure by putting security agent in RFID-USB for RFID tags users use to perform plug-and-plug function. Also, the proposed mechanism updates the hased token value by its ID and the random number which RFID-USB creates whenever a user accesses in the area of RFID-USB so that it protects reply attack and man-in-the-middle attack which happen often in the area of wireless section.

The user authentication on the security applications is one of the most important process. Because character based password is commonly used for user authentication, it is most important to protect the keyboard. Due to the reason, several software solutions for keyboard security have been applied to critical sites. This paper introduces vulnerabilities to the commonly used USB keyboard, implements a sample code using the vulnerabilities and evaluates the possibility for the keyboard data to be stolen in the guarded environment. Through the comparison of the result, a countermeasure to the vulnerabilities is proposed.

U-learning (ubiquitous learning) systems, which deliver learning materials anytime and anywhere, allow learners to watch live lectures on PDAs, tablet PCs and notebook computers via broadband and wireless Internet. These systems have various problems; first, terminal devices are expensive, and it is difficult to maintain their efficiencies. Secondly, Internet does not guarantee quality of service (QoS), and in general it does not provide real-time services. Finally, the security of these systems is weaker in a local network than in an external network. The USB-based terminal system based on the OSGi service platform was designed as a ubiquitous system, in order to solve those problems. The USB terminals, used in this system, are inexpensive, and it is easy to maintain their performances. Also, this system solves the problems of security in a local network and provides guaranteed QoS. To accomplish this, the number of USB terminals connected to the system has to be limited according to the formula proposed in our paper. This system uses the OSGi specification as a middleware. It supports the discovery mechanism of the USB terminals, maintenance and administration of the system. Finally, this paper shows a driver's license testing system as an example u-learning application1.

The suggested paper studies communications network and system technology, designing data to sync to both USB memories and cloud storages at the same time, which would allow users to safely keep and manage data even in case of network troubles, affecting cloud storages, and/or loss of physical USB memories, resulting in lost data in the physical memory. The need of secure data management policy for cloud storage users form the basis of this study, offering solutions to network failures and loss of physical storage by creating hybrid cloud system. To provide convenience to windows users, the UI design should integrate that of windows explorer to maximize security and convenience.

Most of the Internet users in Korea are issued certificates and use them for various tasks. For this reason, it is recommended that accredited certification authorities and security related companies and use public certificates on USB memory and portable storage devices rather than on the user's desktop. Despite these efforts, the hacking of the certificate has been continuously occurring and the financial damage has been continuing. Also, for security reasons, our military has disabled USB to general military users. Therefore, this study proposes a two-factor method using the unique information of the USB memory and the PC which is owned by the user, and suggests a method of managing the private key file secure to the general user. Furthermore, it will be applied to national defense to contribute to the prevention of important data and prevention of access by unauthorized persons.

Recently industry is suffering severe losses of important internal information, and most of the leaks result from the insiders. Thus, various technological counter measures are being studied in order to protect private organization information. In this paper, among various internal information leakage path protection mechanisms, we propose a technique for preventing files which are defined as confidential from being copied or moved through USB. The implemented confidential file loss prevention system is composed of both signature insert manager and confidential file detect manager. The signature insert manager allows a system administrator to insert a special pattern specifying a classified confidential file, while the confidential file detect manager protects confidential file leakage when a user attempts to move or copy a confidential file to the USB memory. This results would be contributed to reducing the damage caused by leakage of confidential files outside of the company via USB.
