The intelligent transportation system has made a huge leap in the level of human services, which has had a positive impact on the quality of life of users. On the other hand, these services are becoming a new source of risk due to the use of data collected from vehicles, on which intelligent systems rely to create automatic contextual adaptation. Most of the popular privacy protection methods, such as Dummy and obfuscation, cannot be used with many services because of their impact on the accuracy of the service provided itself, they depend on changing the number of vehicles or their physical locations. This research presents a new approach based on the shuffling Nicknames of vehicles. It fully maintains the quality of the service and prevents tracking users permanently, penetrating their privacy, revealing their whereabouts, or discovering additional details about the nature of their behavior and movements. Our approach is based on creating a central Nicknames Pool in the cloud as well as distributed subpools in fog nodes to avoid intelligent delays and overloading of the central architecture. Finally, we will prove by simulation and discussion by examples the superiority of the proposed approach and its ability to adapt to new services and provide an effective level of protection. In the comparison, we will rely on the wellknown privacy criteria: Entropy, Ubiquity, and Performance.

This study analyzed the characteristics of morphing in fashion design through the documentaries on morphing and fashion. The characteristics of morphing in fine art, media, and design area were categorized as reversible metamorphosis, sequential dissolve and blurring of interpolation boundaries. The results were as follow in fashion design. Reversible metamorphosis showed an automatic silhouette transformation by remote control, the metamorphosis of folding method by wearer's own movements and the automatic silhouette transformation by the air pressurizing method. It represented the thoughts of omnipotence as in the feeling of the magical world, the human desire for control in life, the rationalization of magical thinking and imaginative power, the creation of a new dress space and the extension of dress function. Sequential dissolve showed juxtaposition in the same area by the time order, juxtaposition in virtual space through the computer graphics, the series of fashion photography by steel cut of the dress making process and the blending of digital film and fashion design. It represented the approach for the storytelling of fashion show, implication of creative fashion design process and the creation of organic forms and the feeling of fantasy through artificial technology. The blurring of interpolation boundary showed an overlay of different fabrics with transparent boundaries, an overlay of different patterns with transparent boundaries and the blending of fabrics through the visual mixing of color. It represented the obfuscation of the object, the connotation of the space order, the connotation of the extensive and various meanings and the integrative property of objects.

As the number of malware has been increased, it is necessary to analyze malware rapidly against cyber attack. Additionally, Dynamic malware analysis has been widely studied to overcome the limitation of static analysis such as packing and obfuscation, but still has a problem of exploring multiple execution path. Previous works for exploring multiple execution path have several problems that it requires much time to analyze and resource for preparing analysis environment. In this paper, we proposed efficient exploring approach for multiple execution path in a single analysis environment by pipelining processes and showed the improvement of speed by 29% in 2-core and 70% in 4-core through experiment.

PowerShell is command line shell and scripting language, built on the .NET framework, and it has several advantages as an attack tool, including built-in support for Windows, easy code concealment and persistence, and various pen-test frameworks. Accordingly, malwares using PowerShell are increasing rapidly, however, there is a limit to cope with the conventional malware detection technique. In this paper, we propose an improved monitoring method to observe commands executed in the PowerShell and a deep learning based malware classification model that extract features from commands using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) and send them to Recurrent Neural Network(RNN) according to the order of execution. As a result of testing the proposed model with 5-fold cross validation using 1,916 PowerShell-based malwares collected at malware sharing site and 38,148 benign scripts disclosed by an obfuscation detection study, it shows that the model effectively detects malwares with about 97% True Positive Rate(TPR) and 1% False Positive Rate(FPR).

In the future, 5G technology will become the core infrastructure driving the 4th industrial era. For intelligent super-convergence service, it will be necessary to collect various personal information such as location data. If a person's high-precision location information is exposed by a malicious person, it can be a serious privacy risk. In the past, various approaches have been researched through encryption and obfuscation to protect location information privacy. In this paper, we proposed a new technique that enables statistical query and data analysis without exposing location information. The proposed method does not allow the original to be re-identified through polynomial-based transform processing. In addition, since the quality of the original data is not compromised, the usability of positioning big data can be maximized.

Advances in detection techniques, such as mutation and obfuscation, are being advanced with the development of malware technology. In the malware detection technology, unknown malware detection technology is important, and a method for Malware Authorship Attribution that detects an unknown malicious code by identifying the author through distributed malware is being studied. In this paper, we try to extract the compiler information affecting the binary-based author identification method and to investigate the sensitivity of feature selection, probability and non-probability models, and optimization to classification efficiency between studies. In the experiment, the feature selection method through information gain and the support vector machine, which is a non-probability model, showed high efficiency. Among the optimization studies, high classification accuracy was obtained through feature selection and model optimization through the proposed framework, and resulted in 48% feature reduction and 53 faster execution speed. Through this study, we can confirm the sensitivity of feature selection, model, and optimization methods to classification efficiency.

Recently, a number of military intranet infiltrations suspected of North Korea have been discovered. There was a problem that a vulnerability could occur due to the modification of user authentication data that can access existing military information systems. In this paper, we applied mutual verification technique and API (Application Programming Interface) forgery / forgery blocking and obfuscation to solve the authentication weakness in web browsers that comply with FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) standard. In addition, user convenience is improved by implementing No-Plugin that does not require separate program installation. Performance tests show that most browsers perform about 0.1ms based on the RSA key generation rate. In addition, it proved that it can be used for commercialization by showing performance of less than 0.1 second even in the digital signature verification speed of the server. The service is expected to be useful for improving military information system security as an alternative to browser authentication by building a web secure storage.

With the attack information collected during SMS phishing investigation, this paper will propose SMS phishing profiling model applying criminal profiling. Law enforcement agencies have used signature analysis by apk file hash and analysis of C&C IP address inserted in the malware. However, recently law enforcement agencies are facing the challenges such as signature diversification or code obfuscation. In order to overcome these problems, this paper examined 169 criminal cases and found out that 89% of serial number in cert.rsa and 80% of permission file was reused in different cases. Therefore, the proposed SMS phishing profiling model is mainly based on signature serial number and permission file hash. In addition, this model complements the conventional file hash clustering method and uses code similarity verification to ensure reliability.

In order to prevent tampering and reverse engineering of executive code, this paper propose a new tamper resistant software mechanism. This paper presents a cryptographic MAC function and a relationship which has its security level derived by the importance of code block instead of by merely getting the encryption and decryption key from the previous block. In this paper, we propose a cryptographic MAC function which generates a dynamic MAC function key instead of the hash function as written in many other papers. In addition, we also propose a relationships having high, medium and low security levels. If any block is determined to have a high security level then that block will be encrypted by the key generated by the related medium security level block. The low security block will be untouched due to efficiency considerations. The MAC function having this dynamic key and block relationship will make analyzing executive code more difficult.

This paper introduces a proper renaming service using variable action and security services against the analysis techniques in Java code. The renaming service that is introduced is separated into API pattern and loop condition. We present our scheme algorithm with known Java obfuscation techniques and tools in order to help readers understanding, and implement prototype to prove practicality in this paper. Test result using prototype shows 73% successful variable renaming rate. Using our scheme, cooperators can intuitionally understand all of code. Also, It helps malware analysts to predict malware action by variable name. But application source code that is developed by Java is exposed to hackers easily using our scheme. So we introduce Java application code protection methods, too.
