Recently, Cyber Physical System (CPS) is one of the core technologies for realizing Internet of Things (IoT). The CPS is a new paradigm that seeks to converge the physical and cyber worlds in which we live. However, the CPS suffers from certain CPS issues that could directly threaten our lives, while the CPS environment, including its various layers, is related to on-the-spot threats, making it necessary to study CPS security. Therefore, a survey-based in-depth understanding of the vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks is required of CPS security and privacy for IoT. In this paper, we analyze security issues, threats, and solutions for IoT-CPS, and evaluate the existing researches. The CPS raises a number challenges through current security markets and security issues. The study also addresses the CPS vulnerabilities and attacks and derives challenges. Finally, we recommend solutions for each system of CPS security threats, and discuss ways of resolving potential future issues.

MANET can be applied to various applications as it can autonomously configure the network with only mobile nodes. However, the network can be vulnerable to cyber attacks because it is organized in a distributed environment without central control or management. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based network security vulnerability analysis and verification method. Using this method, we simulated the routing message modification attack, Sybil node attack, and TLV message modification attack that may frequently occur in MANET, and confirmed that similar vulnerabilities can be occurred in the real system. Therefore, the proposed method can be used to improve the accuracy of the protocol design by verifying possible security vulnerabilities through simulation during the protocol design procedure.

This study applies the concept of climate change vulnerability assessment in order to suggest climate change adaptation effects in a quantitative manner, given that previous studies have hitherto rely on qualitative assessment, as climate change adaptive policies are currently being implemented by local governments of Korea. The vulnerability assessment tool used in this study is VESTAP ("Vulnerability assESsment Tool to build a climate change Adaptation Plan"), which was developed by the Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC), and applied to gauge the vulnerability of pine trees to diseases and pests within Chungcheongnam-do. The climate change adaptation project for vulnerability improvement was assessed only in terms of forest disaster prevention and change in regional climate change vulnerabilities within 16 regions of Chungcheongnam-do as the result of 2016 Climate Change Adaptation Project (Forest Disaster Prevention Project). As a result, it was observed that climate change adaptive capacity has improved according to change in the area of forestland with disaster prevention, and the vulnerability indicator decreased, confirming the impact of the climate change adaptation (forest disaster prevention) project. Also, analysis of regional climate change adaptation project scales and change in vulnerabilities allowed us to determine the regional propriety of climate change adaptation (forest disaster prevention) projects launched in 2016.

A typical vulnerability scoring system is Common Vulnerability Scoring System(CVSS). However, since CVSS does not differentiate among the individual vulnerability impact of the asset and give higher priority for the more important assets, it is impossible to respond effectively and quickly to high-risk vulnerabilities on large systems. We propose a Layered weight based Vulnerability impact assessment Scoring System which can hierarchically group the importance of assets and weight the number of layers and the number of assets to effectively manage the impact of vulnerabilities on a per asset basis.

Risk analysis process, which identifies vulnerabilities and threat causes of network assets and evaluates expected loss when some of network assets are damaged, is essential for diagnosing ISP network security levels and response planning. However, most existing risk analysis systems provide only methodological analysis procedures, and they can not reflect continually changing vulnerabilities and threats information of individual network system on real time. For this reason, this paper suggests new system design methodology which shows a scheme to collects and analyzes data from network intrusion detection system and vulnerability analysis system and estimate quantitative risk levels. Additionally, experimental performance of proposed system is shown.

Vulnerability analysis helps to remove discriminating vulnerabilities that exist in various equipment that composes operating information system. It is possible to explain representation and exclusion method about vulnerabilities of each equipment by vulnerability analysis. But it is difficult to display the weakness of whole information system. To do this, analyst synthesizes several information that achieved by vulnerability analysis. But the existing method does not provide fair evaluation because operators' personal opinion. In this paper, we explain about method that unites discriminatively vulnerable point and expresses whole weakness degree in numerical value by equipment, by system class, or by overall system.

OTP (One Time Password) is widely used for protecting accounts on Internet banking, portal services and online game services in Korea. OTP is very strong method for enforcing account security but there are several ways for exploiting vulnerabilities caused by implementation errors. These attacks can work because of the weakness from OTP enabled system's vulnerabilities, not for OTP's algorithm itself. In this paper, we present the known attack scenarios such as MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) attack and various reverse engineering techniques; also, we show the test result of the attacks and countermeasures for these attacks.

WiBro(Wireless Broadband), the service based on IEEE 802.16e(mobile WiMAX) standard, is a wireless broadband Internet technology being developed by the domestic telecommunication industry. In this paper, we analyze security vulnerabilities of WiBro focusing on initial authentication phase and propose a specification-based intrusion detection system that can detect those vulnerabilities. We first derive a specification from the normally operational process of the initial authentication based on PKMv2 EAP-AKA and formalize the derived specification as a state transition diagram. Proposed system executes the intrusion detection based on those specification and state transition diagram. In this paper, to verify the detection capability of proposed system, we construct a test bed network and execute scenario-based test.

The user's password must be encrypted one-way through the hash function and stored in the database. Widely used hash functions such as MD5 and SHA-1 have also been found to have vulnerabilities, and hash functions that are considered safe can also have vulnerabilities over time. Salt enhances password security by adding it before or after the password before putting it to the hash function. In the case of the existing Salt, even if it is randomly assigned to each user, once it is assigned, it is a fixed value in a specific column of the database. If the database is exposed to an attacker, it poses a great threat to password cracking. In this paper, we suggest variable-dynamic Salt that dynamically changes according to the user's password during the login process. The variable-dynamic Salt can further enhance password security during login process by making it difficult to know what the Salt is, even if the database or source code is exposed.
