The paper presents an approach for recognizing the broken area of the traffic signs. The method is based on the Recognition System for Traffic Signs (RSTS). This paper describes an approach to using the location histogram matching for the broken traffic signs recognition, after the general process of the image detection and image categorization. The recognition proceeds by using the SIFT matching to adjust the acquired image to a standard position, then the histogram bin will be compared preprocessed image with reference image, and finally output the location and percents value of the broken area. And between the processing, some preprocessing like the blurring is added in the paper to improve the performance. And after the reorganization, the program can operate with the GPS for traffic signs maintenance. Experimental results verified that our scheme have a relatively high recognition rate and a good performance in general situation.

According to increasing of various location-based services, distributed data stream processing techniques have been widely studied to provide high scalability and availability. In previous researches, in order to balance the load of distributed nodes, the geographic characteristics of spatial data stream are not considered. For this reason, distributed operations for adjacent spatial regions increases the overall system load. We propose a operation allocation scheme considering the characteristics of spatial operations to effectively processing spatial data stream in distributed computing environments. The proposed method presents the efficient share maximizing approach that preferentially distributes spatial operations sharing the common query regions to the same node in order to separate the adjacent spatial operations on overlapped regions.

This paper presents a new methodology to draw the components of locational marginal price (LMP) in electricity market. Recently, the changing environments surrounding electricity industries resulted in the unbundled services provided by electricity market players, which may require the new pricing mechanisms based on the LMP. The changed pricing mechanisms will provide the price signals of time and location to the market participants. Most of the existing studies of LMP are based on the Lagrangian multipliers as shadow prices to evaluate the equivalent values of constraints or factors for security, reliability and quality. However, the shadow prices cannot provide enough information for components of LMP. In this paper, therefore, we proposed a new approach that LMP is divided into three components. To do this, we first present the method for shadow prices calculation and then break down LMP into a variety of parts corresponding to the concerned factors. The proposed approach is applied to 5-bus and modified IEEE 14-bus sample system in order to verify its validity.

The SOAP specifications are not provided a functions of information security, especially authentication function. In case of user authentication, delivery of the username and password elements can be exposed to sniffing/replay attack by malicious attacker. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism to protect authentication attacks for the SOAP messages. The proposed mechanism is compensated for weakness of S/KEY system. Our mechanism has no limitation for time and overhead and also provide a more effective and secure delivery.

스마트그리드는 전력시스템과 이를 제어하기 위한 통신 인프라를 중심으로 다양한 시스템이 서로 통합되는 종합적인 플랫폼으로 이해할 수 있다. 기존에 각기 독립적으로 운영되는 시스템과 통신 인프라가 통합되기 시작하면서 다양한 상호작용이 파생되고 그로 인해 잠재적인 보안 측면의 위험성도 커지게 된다. 전통적인 전력시스템은 폐쇄적인 SCADA 네트워크를 기반으로 운영되었기 때문에 최소한의 보안강도가 보장되었지만, 스마트그리드 하에서는 개방형 통신망과 연계되면서, 기존의 사이버 보안 위협들이 전력시스템으로 유입하게 된다. 기존의 IT 시스템과는 달리 전력시스템과 같은 제어시스템은 물리적 작동과 공정이 수반되기 때문에 새로운 위험이 발생하기도 하고 기존의 위험이 증폭되기도 한다. 전력시스템에서는 가용성이 그 무엇보다 중요하기 때문에, 스마트그리드 체제하에서의 다양한 위협요인을 미리 파악하고 이에 대비한 계획을 수립함으로써, 그러한 가용성의 수준을 유지할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 기존의 사이버 위협이 어떠한 경로를 통해 전력시스템에 영향을 미치게 되며 그로 인한 잠재적 위험이 얼마나 되는가를 평가할 필요가 있다. 그러나 스마트그리드는 아직까지 구축중인 미래형 시스템이고 누적된 과거 데이터가 없기 때문에 가상의 하드웨어 기반 테스트베드 내지 소프트웨어 기반의 시뮬레이션 모델을 통해 이를 사전적으로 테스트할 필요가 있다. 또한 스마트그리드는 서로 다른 IT 시스템과 물리적 설비들이 결합되는 복잡한 시스템이라는 측면에서, 잠재적으로 발생 가능한 다양한 위험을 분석하고 평가할 수 있는 모델의 수립이 요구된다. 본고에서는 그러한 CPS 기반 시뮬레이션 모델에 대한 현재의 연구동향을 검토하고, 향후 실질적으로 구현하기 위한 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

In this paper, we suggest DCU(Digital Control Unit) for performance improvement and stability security of base station power amplifier. The designed DCU controls electric power that is supplied to power amplifier. When the regular input is 10dBm, the regular output is measured 47.8dBm and the results are compared between the case of the applying and the non-applying the DCU. We got the result that PA system is very stable as DCU are very well operating in the boundary degradation of IMD by the over-power level input.

Application layer attacks have for years posed an ever-serious threat to network security, since they always come after a technically legitimate connection has been established. In recent years, cyber criminals have turned to fully exploiting the web as a medium of communication to launch a variety of forbidden or illicit activities by spreading malicious automated software (auto-ware) such as adware, spyware, or bots. When this malicious auto-ware infects a network, it will act like a robot, mimic normal behavior of web access, and bypass the network firewall or intrusion detection system. Besides that, in a private and large network, with huge Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) traffic generated each day, communication behavior identification and classification of auto-ware is a challenge. In this paper, based on a previous study, analysis of auto-ware communication behavior, and with the addition of new features, a method for classification of HTTP auto-ware communication is proposed. For that, a Not Only Structured Query Language (NoSQL) database is applied to handle large volumes of unstructured HTTP requests captured every day. The method is tested with real HTTP traffic data collected through a proxy server of a private network, providing good results in the classification and detection of suspicious auto-ware web access.

Information on the area and spatial distribution of crop fields is needed for biomass production, arrangement of water resources, trace gas emission estimates, and food security. The present study aims to monitor crops status during the growing season by estimating its aboveground biomass and leaf area index (LAI) from field reflectance taken with a hand-held radiometer. Field reflectance values were collected over specific spectral bandwidths using a handheld radiometer(LI-1800). A methodology is described to use spectral reflectance as indicators of the vegetative status in crop cultures. Two vegetation indices were derived from these spectral measurements. In this paper, first we analyze each spectral reflectance characteristics of vegetation in the order of growth stage. Vegetation indices (NDVI, GNDVI) were calculated from crop reflectance. And assess the nature of relationships between LAI and VI, as measured by the in situ NDVI and GNDVI. Among the two VI, NDVI showed predictive ability across a wider range of LAI than did GNDVI. Specific objectives were to determine the relative accuracy of these two vegetation indices for predicting LAI. The results of this study indicated that the NDVI and GNDVI could potentially be applied to monitor crop agriculture on a timely and frequent basis.

Elliptic curve cryptosystem(ECC) offers the highest security per bit among the known publick key system. The benefit of smaller key size makes ECC particularly attractive for embedded applications since its implementation requires less memory and processing power. In this paper, we propose a new multiplier structure with configurable output sizes and operation cycles. The number of output bits can be freely chosen in the new architecture with the performance-area trade-off depending on the application. Using the architecture, a 193-bit normal basis multiplier and inversion unit are designed in GF(2$^{m}$ ). It is implemented using HDL and 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology and the operation is verified by simulation.

Security support is a significant factor in ad hoc networks. Especially in dynamic topologies, key agreement with private key updating is essential in providing a secure system. And it is also necessary to protect the identities of individual nodes in wireless environments to avoid personal privacy problems. However, many of the existing key agreement schemes for ad hoc networks do not consider these issues concurrently. This paper proposes an anonymous ID-based private key update scheme and a key agreement scheme for mobile ad hoc networks. We also suggest a method of rekeying between different domains using service-coordinators. These schemes are secure against various attacks and are suitable for service-oriented mobile ad hoc networks.
