  • Mobile Communication has a possibility of eavesdropping by nature of wireless channel. It is known that eavesdropping of CDMA system is impossible because the voice data spreads with the PN. First of all, we show that it is possible to eavesdrop the CDMA channel by analysis of the forward channel in case that we know the ESN and the MIN. We can monitor the forward traffic channel with easy since ESN and MIN are exposed during the call processing in CDMA service in Korea. In this paper, we will show security weakness and propose an enhanced mechanism for CDMA service. We consider the problem of security in the CDMA service. CDMA system has wireless channels to transmit voice or data. By this reason, CDMA communication has a possibility of being eavesdropped by someone. It is known that eavesdropping in CDMA system is impossible because the voice data spreads with the PN. However, we can eavesdrop the CDMA data in FCM protocol in case that we know the ESN and the MIN. In CDMA system, ESN and MIN are exposed to the wireless channel. In this paper, we analyze the flow of the voice and signal in the CDMA system and monitor the forward traffic channel by the FCM protocol. The FCM protocol is proposed to monitor the forward channel in CDMA system. We can show the possibility of monitoring in one-way channel of CDMA system by the FCM protocol. The test instrument based on the FCM protocol is proposed to monitor the CDMA forward channel. We will show the system architecture of the test instrument to monitor the forward channel in CDMA.

  • The protection of data which we want to keep secret from invalid users has become a main topic nowadays. This paper introduces a encryption scheme for protecting speech signals from eavesdropping. The proposed encryption scheme adopts a secure voice cryptographic algorithm based on the scrambling in frequency band. In order to improve the conventional speech signal encryption scheme, we have randomly permuted DCT coefficients of speech signal. Simulation results are included to show the performance of the proposed algorithm for secure transmission of speech signals.

  • In this paper a FPGA implementation of WEP protocol is described. IEEE 802.11 specifies a wired LAN equivalent data confidentiality algorithm. WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) is defined as protecting authorized users of a wireless LAN from casual eavesdropping. WEP use RC4 algorithm for data encryption and decryption, also it use CRC-32 algorithm for error detection. The WEP protocol is implemented using Xilinx VirtexE XCV1000E-6HQ240C FPGA chip with PCI bus interface.

  • The use of RFID recently tends to increase and is expected to expand all over the industry and life. However, RFID is much vulnerable to the malign threats such as eavesdropping, replay attack, spoofing attack, location tracking in the process of authentication. In particular, it is difficult to apply authentication protocol used in the other previous system to low-priced RFID tag. After all, this paper suggests the scheme of efficient authentication protocol for RFID privacy protection. Compared to the previous scheme, suggested scheme reinforces the checking process of transmission data and is secure from eavesdropping and spoofing attack. It minimizes the operation work of the tag and is very useful to apply to the low-priced tag. It also has the merit to confirm the efficiency of communication by reducing the communication rounds.

  • In large-scale wireless sensor networks, tremendous amount of dummy packets is usually accompanied by keeping location privacy of the communication source and destination against global eavesdropping. In our earlier work we designed a location privacy routing protocol, ELPR(End-node Location Privacy Routing) in which the generation of dummy packets at each idle time-slot while transferring data packets are restricted to only the nodes within certain areas of encompassing the source and destination, respectively. In this paper, it is given that ELPR provides various degrees of location privacy while PCM(Periodic Collection Method) allows the only fixed level. Simulation results show that as the number of nodes or data packets increases ELPR permits in terms of the number of generated packets more cost-effective location privacy than PCM.

  • Almost all network systems provide an authentication mechanism based on user ID and password. In such system, it is easy to obtain the user password using a sniffer program with illegal eavesdropping. The one-time password and challenge-response method are useful authentication schemes that protect the user passwords against eavesdropping. In client/server environments, the one-time password scheme using time is especially useful because it solves the synchronization problem. In this paper, we propose a new identification scheme One Pass Identification. The security of Password base System is based on the square root problem, and Password base System is secure against the well known attacks including pre-play attack, off-line dictionary attack and server comprise. A number of pass of Password base System is one, and Password base System processes the password and does not need the key. We think that Password base System is excellent for the consuming time to verify the prover.

  • In wireless sensor networks, a node that reports information gathered from adjacent assets should relay packets appropriately so that its location context is kept private, and thereby helping ensure the security of the assets that are being monitored. Unfortunately, existing routing methods that counter the local eavesdropping-based tracing deal with a single asset, and most of them suffer from the packet-delivery latency as they prefer to take a separate path of many hops for each packet being sent. In this paper, we propose a routing method, greedy perimeter stateless routing-based source-location privacy with crew size w (GSLP-w), that enhances location privacy of the packet-originating node (i.e., active source) in the presence of multiple assets. GSLP-w is a hybrid method, in which the next-hop node is chosen in one of four modes, namely greedy, random, perimeter, and retreat modes. Random forwarding brings the path diversity, while greedy forwarding refrains from taking an excessively long path and leads to convergence to the destination. Perimeter routing makes detours that avoid the nodes near assets so that they cannot be located by an adversary tracing up the route path. We study the performance of GSLP-w with respect to crew size w (the number of packets being sent per path) and the number of sources. GSLP-w is compared with phantom routing-single path (PR-SP), which is a notable routing method for source-location privacy and our simulation results show that improvements from the point of the ratio of safety period and delivery latency become significant as the number of source nodes increases.

  • Generally, the compromising electromagnetic emanations are generated from LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) monitor which is typical output component of computer. Because display information transmitted to LCD monitor is included in these emanations, there are risks about information leakage of monitor by eavesdropping of leaked signal. So, analysis about possibility of information leakage is necessary because electromagnetic security through the electromagnetic emanations is being at issue. In this paper, the possibility of display information leakage are demonstrated by analyzing the electromagnetic emanations from desktop and laptop monitors. The characteristics of leaked signal from LCD monitor is verified by analyzing display mechanism and the electromagnetic emanations are measured in the long distance by eavesdropping experiment. Also, threat of information leakage is confirmed by recovering display information with several signal processing technique and comprising with target display.
