  • In recent years, the malicious apps with malicious code in normal apps are increasingly redistributed in Android market, which may incur various problems such as the leakage of authentication information and transaction information and fraudulent transactions when banking apps to process the financial transactions are exposed to such attacks. Thus the financial authorities established the laws and regulations as an countermeasures against those problems and domestic banks provide the integrity verification functions in their banking apps, yet its reliability has not been verified because the studies of the safety of the corresponding functions have seldom been conducted. Thus this study suggests the vulnerabilities of the integrity verification functions of banking apps by using Android reverse engineering analysis techniques. In case the suggested vulnerabilities are exploited, the integrity verification functions of banking apps are likely to be bypassed, which will facilitate malicious code inserting attacks through repackaging and its risk is very high as proved in a test of this study. Furthermore this study suggests the specific solutions to those vulnerabilities, which will contribute to improving the security level of smartphone financial transaction environment against the application forgery attacks.

  • Recently, an intelligent and advanced cyber attack attacks a computer network of a public institution using a file containing malicious code or leaks information, and the damage is increasing. Even in public institutions with various information protection systems, known attacks can be detected, but unknown dynamic and encryption attacks can be detected when existing signature-based or static analysis-based malware and ransomware file detection methods are used. vulnerable to The detection method proposed in this study extracts the detection result data of the system that can detect malicious code and ransomware among the information protection systems actually used by public institutions, derives various attributes by combining them, and uses a machine learning classification algorithm. Results are derived through experiments on how the derived properties are classified and which properties have a significant effect on the classification result and accuracy improvement. In the experimental results of this paper, although it is different for each algorithm when a specific attribute is included or not, the learning with a specific attribute shows an increase in accuracy, and later detects malicious code and ransomware files and abnormal behavior in the information protection system. It is expected that it can be used for property selection when creating algorithms.

  • Recently, there are rapidly increasing cases of APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) attacks such as Verizon(2010), Nonghyup(2011), SK Communications(2011), and 3.20 Cyber Terror(2013), which cause leak of confidential information and tremendous damage to valuable assets without being noticed. Several anomaly detection technologies were studied to defend the APT attacks, mostly focusing on detection of obvious anomalies based on known malicious codes' signature. However, they are limited in detecting APT attacks and suffering from high false-negative detection accuracy because APT attacks consistently use zero-day vulnerabilities and have long latent period. Detecting APT attacks requires long-term analysis of data from a diverse set of sources collected over the long time, real-time analysis of the ingested data, and correlation analysis of individual attacks. However, traditional security systems lack sophisticated analytic capabilities, compute power, and agility. In this paper, we propose a Fast Data based real-time abnormal behavior detection system to overcome the traditional systems' real-time processing and analysis limitation.

  • Recently, several cache side channel attacks have been proposed to extract secret information by exploiting design flaws of the microarchitecture. The Flush+Reload attack, one of the cache side channel attack, can be applied to malicious application attacks due to its properties of high resolution and low noise. In this paper, we proposed a detection system, which detects the cache-based attacks using the PCM(Performance Counter Monitor) for monitoring CPU cache activity. Especially, we observed the variation of each counter value of PCM in case of two kinds of attacks, Spectre attack and secret recovering attack during AES encryption. As a result, we found that four hardware counters were sensitive to cache side channel attacks. Our detector based on machine learning including SVM(Support Vector Machine), RF(Random Forest) and MLP(Multi Level Perceptron) can detect the cache side channel attacks with high detection accuracy.

  • The Data Matrix of two-dimensional bar codes is a new technology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to the conventional one-dimensional bar code which is just a key that can access detailed information to the host computer database. A secret key is used to prevent a watermark from malicious attacks. We encoded copyright information into a Data Matrix bar code for encoding process and it was spread a pseudo random pattern using owner key. We embedded a randomized watermark into the image using watermark's embedding position, pattern generated with a secret key. The experimental results have shown that the proposed scheme has good quality and is very robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression and noise. Also the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by comparing the copyright information with the information which is extracted from a bar code scantier.

  • In this paper we propose a new watermarking scheme using a data matrix and a cryptograph key. The data matrix of two-dimensional bar codes is a new technology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to the conventional one-dimensional bar code. And a cryptograph key is used to prevent a watermark from malicious attacks. We encoded the copyright information into a data matrix bar code, and it was spread as a pseudo random pattern using the owner key. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme has good quality and is robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression, filtering and resizing. Also the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by comparing the copyright information with the information which is extracted from the watermark.

  • IDS/IPS and networked computer systems are playing an increasingly important role in our society. They have been the targets of a malicious attacks that actually turn into intrusions. That is why computer security has become an important concern for network administrators. Recently, various Detection/Prevention System schemes have been proposed based on various technologies. However, the techniques, which have been applied in many systems is useful for existing intrusion patterns on standard-only systems. Therefore, probe detection of private clouds using BlockChain has become a major security protection technology to detection potential attacks. In addition, BlockChain and Probe detection need to take into account the relationship between the various factors. We should develop a new probe detection technology that uses BlockChain to fine new pattern detection probes in cloud service security in the end. In this paper, we propose a probe detection using Fuzzy Cognitive Map(FCM) and Self Adaptive Module(SAM) based on service security using BlockChain technology.
