  • WebAssembly(WASM) is a low-level instruction format that can be run in a web environment. Since WASM has a excellent performance, various web applications use webassembly. However, according to our security analysis WASM has a security pitfall related to control flow integrity (CFI) for indirect calls. To address the problem in this paper we propose a new code instrumentation scheme to protect indirect calls, named WACFI. Specifically WACFI enhances a CFI technique for indirect call in WASM based on source code anlysis and binary instrumentation. To test the feasibility of WACFI, we applied WACFI to a sound-encoding application. According to our experimental results WACFI only adds 2.75% overhead on the execution time while protecting indirect calls safely.

  • In order to create security session, security keys are preconfigured between communication objects. For this purpose, Handshake Protocol exists. The pre-master secret key that is used in this process needs to interpreted by a server to create master secret key, whose process requires a big calculation, resulting in deteriorating system's transmission performance. Therefore, it is helpful in increasing transmission speed to reuse secret keys rather than to create them at every connection.

  • Recently, with the development of information and communication infrastructure, the number of Internet access devices is rapidly increasing. Smartphones, laptops, computers, and even IoT devices are receiving information and communication services through Internet access. Since most of the device operating environment consists of web (WEB), it is vulnerable to web cyber attacks using web shells. When the web shell is uploaded to the web server, it is confirmed that the attack frequency is high because the control of the web server can be easily performed. As the damage caused by the web shell occurs a lot, each company is responding to attacks with various security devices such as intrusion prevention systems, firewalls, and web firewalls. In this case, it is difficult to detect, and in order to prevent and cope with web shell attacks due to these characteristics, it is difficult to respond only with the existing system and security software. Therefore, it is an automated defense system through the collection and analysis of web shells based on artificial intelligence machine learning that can cope with new cyber attacks such as detecting unknown web shells in advance by using artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning techniques in existing security software. We would like to propose about. The machine learning-based web shell defense system model proposed in this paper quickly collects, analyzes, and detects malicious web shells, one of the cyberattacks on the web environment. I think it will be very helpful in designing and building a security system.

  • As web accessibility has been easier, security issue becomes much more important in web applications demanding user authentication. Cookie is used to reduce the load of the server from the session in web applications and manage the user information efficiently. However, the cookie containing user information can be sniffed by an attacker. With this sniffed cookie, the attacker can retain the web application session of the lawful user as if the attacker is the lawful user. This kind of attack are called cookie replay attack and it causes serious security problems in web applications. In this paper, we have introduced a mechanism to detect cookie replay attacks and defend them, and verified effectiveness of the mechanism.

  • The web is used in various ways such as shopping, news, and searching through a web browser. As the Web becomes more and more common, it is often the case that someone is trying to steal personal information or confidential documents from a company, so security must be paid to ensure security on the web. For this reason, you should be aware of the vulnerabilities that are being exploited maliciously in your web applications and improve security with secure coding. In this paper, we propose a method of detecting hacking and how to deal with vulnerabilities due to some weak points on the web.

  • Carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF), also known as CRLF injection is a type of vulnerability that allows a hacker to enter special characters into a web application, altering its operation or confusing the administrator. Log poisoning and HTTP response splitting are two prominent harmful uses of this technique. Additionally, CRLF injection can be used by an attacker to exploit other vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS). Email injection, also known as email header injection, is another way that can be used to modify the behavior of emails. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is an organization that studies vulnerabilities and ranks them based on their level of risk. According to OWASP, CRLF vulnerabilities are among the top 10 vulnerabilities and are a type of injection attack. Automated testing can help to quickly identify CRLF vulnerabilities, and is particularly useful for companies to test their applications before releasing them. However, CRLF vulnerabilities can also lead to the discovery of other high-risk vulnerabilities, and it fosters a better approach to mitigate CRLF vulnerabilities in the early stage and help secure applications against known vulnerabilities. Although there has been a significant amount of research on other types of injection attacks, such as Structure Query Language Injection (SQL Injection). There has been less research on CRLF vulnerabilities and how to detect them with automated testing. There is room for further research to be done on this subject matter in order to develop creative solutions to problems. It will also help to reduce false positive alerts by checking the header response of each request. Security automation is an important issue for companies trying to protect themselves against security threats. Automated alerts from security systems can provide a quicker and more accurate understanding of potential vulnerabilities and can help to reduce false positive alerts. Despite the extensive research on various types of vulnerabilities in web applications, CRLF vulnerabilities have only recently been included in the research. Utilizing automated testing as a recurring task can assist companies in receiving consistent updates about their systems and enhance their security.

  • Rumor or abusive web postings in internet has become a social issue. Web postings may be proposed on evidence in form of a screenshot in libel suit, but a screenshot can be easily modified by computer programs. A person can make ill use of the screenshot which is modified deliberately original contents to opposite meaning in a lawsuit. That makes an innocent person to be punished because it can have difficulties to verify despite analyzing the server data. A screenshot of web postings is likely to fail to prove its authenticity and it is not able to reflect the fact. If notarization for web postings is offered, clear and convincing evidence can be submitted in a court. So, related techniques and policies should be established In this paper, we propose some technical and legal conditions and design for notarization and archive system of web postings for litigation.
