  • It appeared with the development of IT skills to help the social network SNS(Social Network Service) on the online form. Many people around the world and in the business environment changes is the emergence of social networks are bringing. And the rapid development of the idea, but are insignificant for the security threats that are used by many people in many companies, and social network services. In addition, although it is true that this connection is increased from the number of mobile machines to the development of M2M, that is not recognized for that vulnerability. To evaluate and identify vulnerabilities against security threats and countermeasures for the SNS access the social network on the M2M After looking for privacy and in the present.

  • According to proliferation of mobile devices, security threats have been continuously increased such as illegal or unintentional file transmission of important data to an external mass-storage device. Therefore, we propose a protection method to prohibit an illegal outflow to this device and implement this method. This method extracts signatures from random locations of important file and uses them to detect and block illegal file transmission. To get signatures, a target file is divided by extracting window size and more than one signatures are extracted in this area. To effective signature sampling, various extraction ways such as full, binomial distribution-based and dynamic sampling are implemented and evaluated. The proposed method has some advantages. The one is that an attacker cannot easily predict the signature and its extraction location. The other is that it doesn't need to modify original data to protect it. With the help of these advantages, we can say that this method can increase efficiency of easy-to-use and it is a proper way leakage prevention in a mobile device.

  • In recent years, industrial convergence centered on ICBM (internet of things (IoT), cloud, big data, mobile) has been experiencing rapid development in various fields such as agriculture and the financial industry. In order to prepare for cyber threats, one of the biggest problems facing the convergence industry in the future, the development of the industry must proceed in tandem with a framework of information security. In this study, we analyze the details of the current industrial development policy and related information protection policies using cross impact analysis and present policy priorities through the expert questionnaire. The aim of the study was to clarify the priorities and interrelationships within information security policy as a first step in suggesting effective policy direction. As a result, all six information security policy tasks derived from this study belong to key drivers. Considering the importance of policies, policies such as improving the constitution of the security industry and strengthening of support, training of information protection talent, and investing in the information security industry need to be implemented relatively first.

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem potentially includes heterogeneous devices with different processing mechanisms as well as very complicated network and communication models. Thus, analysis of data associated with adverse conditions is much more complicated. Moreover, mobile things in the IoT lead to dynamic alteration of environments and developments of a dynamic and ultra-large-scale (ULS) environment. Also, IoT and the services provided by that are mostly based on devices with limited resources or things that may not be capable of hosting conventional controls. Finally, the dynamic and heterogeneous and ULS environment of the IoT will lead to the emergence of new security requirements. The conventional preventive and diagnostic security controls cannot sufficiently protect it against increasing complication of threats. The counteractions provided by these methods are mostly dependent on insufficient static data that cannot sufficiently protect systems against sophisticated and dynamically evolved attacks. Accordingly, this paper investigates the current security approaches employed in the IoT architectures. Moreover, we define the dynamic security based on dynamic event analysis, dynamic engineering of new security requirements, context awareness and adaptability, clarify the need for employment of new security mechanism, and delineate further works that need to be conducted to achieve a secure IoT.

  • Speedy development has been witnessed in communication technologies and the adoption of the Internet across the world. Information dissemination is the primary goal of these technologies. One of the rapidly developing nations in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia, where the use of communication technologies, including mobile and Internet, has drastically risen in recent times. These advancements are relatively new to the region when contrasted to developed nations. Thus, offenses arising from the adoption of these technologies may be new to Saudi Arabians. This study examines cyber security awareness among Saudi Arabian citizens in distinct settings. A comparison is made between the cybersecurity policy guidelines adopted in Saudi Arabia and three other nations. This review will explore distinct essential elements and approaches to mitigating cybercrimes in the United States, Singapore, and India. Following an analysis of the current cybersecurity framework in Saudi Arabia, suggestions for improvement are determined from the overall findings. A key objective is enhancing the nationwide focus on efficient safety and security systems. While the participants display a clear knowledge of IT, the surveyed literature shows limited awareness of the risks related to cyber security practices and the role of government in promoting data safety across the Internet. As the findings indicate, proper frameworks regarding cyber security need to be considered to ensure that associated threats are mitigated as Saudi Arabia aspires to become an efficient smart nation.

  • The Internet of things (IoT) is the main advancement in data processing and communication technologies. In IoT, intelligent devices play an exciting role in wireless communication. Although, sensor nodes are low-cost devices for communication and data gathering. However, sensor nodes are more vulnerable to different security threats because these nodes have continuous access to the internet. Therefore, the multiparty security credential-based key generation mechanism provides effective security against several attacks. The key generation-based methods are implemented at sensor nodes, edge nodes, and also at server nodes for secure communication. The main challenging issue in a collaborative key generation scheme is the extensive multiplication. When the number of parties increased the multiplications are more complex. Thus, the computational cost of batch key and multiparty key-based schemes is high. This paper presents a Secure Multipart Key Distribution scheme (SMKD) that provides secure communication among the nodes by generating a multiparty secure key for communication. In this paper, we provide node authentication and session key generation mechanism among mobile nodes, head nodes, and trusted servers. We analyzed the achievements of the SMKD scheme against SPPDA, PPDAS, and PFDA schemes. Thus, the simulation environment is established by employing an NS 2. Simulation results prove that the performance of SMKD is better in terms of communication cost, computational cost, and energy consumption.

  • As communication technologies are developed and variety of services to mobile devices are provided, mobile users is rapidly increasing every year. However, mobile services running on wireless network environment are exposed to various security threats, such as illegal tampering, eavesdropping, and disguising identity. Accordingly, the secure mobile communications services to 3GPP were established that the standard for 3GPP-AKA specified authentication and key agreement. But in the standard, sequence number synchronization problem using false base station attack and privacy problem were discovered through related researches. In this paper, we propose an efficient authentication mechanism for enhanced privacy protection in the 3G network. We solve the sequence number synchronization existing 3GPP authentication scheme using timestamp and strengthen a privacy problem using secret token. In addition, the proposed scheme can improve the bandwidth consumption between serving network and home network and the problem of authentication data overhead for the serving network because it uses only one authentication vector.
