It has been widely addressed that static analysis techniques can play important role in identifying potential security vulnerability reside in source code. This paper proposes the design and application of security metrics that use both vulnerability information extracted from the static analysis, and significant factors of information that software handles. The security metrics are useful for both developers and evaluators in that the metrics help them identity source code vulnerability in early stage of development. By effectively utilizing the security metrics, evaluators can check the level of source code security, and confirm the final code depending on the characteristics of the source code and the security level of information required.

Security vulnerabilities have been reported in major design software systems such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, which are recognized as de facto standard design tools in most of the design industries. Companies need to evaluate and manage their risk levels posed by those vulnerabilities, so that they could mitigate the potential security bridges in advance. In general, security vulnerabilities are discovered throughout their life cycles repeatedly if software systems are continually used. Hence, in this study, we empirically analyze risk levels for the three major graphical design software systems, namely Photoshop, Illustrator and GIMP with respect to a software vulnerability discovery model. The analysis reveals that the Alhazmi-Malaiya Logistic model tends to describe the vulnerability discovery patterns significantly. This indicates that the vulnerability discovery model makes it possible to predict vulnerability discovery in advance for the software systems. Also, we found that none of the examined vulnerabilities requires even a single authentication step for successful attacks, which suggests that adding an authentication process in software systems dramatically reduce the probability of exploitations. The analysis also discloses that, for all the three software systems, the predictions with evenly distributed and daily based datasets perform better than the estimations with the datasets of vulnerability reporting dates only. The observed outcome from the analysis allows software development managers to prepare proactively for a hostile environment by deploying necessary resources before the expected time of vulnerability discovery. In addition, it can periodically remind designers who use the software systems to be aware of security risk, related to their digital work environments.

Nuclear power plants(NPPs) are protected as core facilities managed by major countries. Applying general IT technology to facilities of NPPs, the proportion of utilizing the digitized resources for the rest of the assets except for the existing installed analog type operating resources is increasing. Using the network to control the IT assets of NPPs can provide significant benefits, but the potential vulnerability of existing IT resources can lead to significant cyber security breaches that threaten the entire NPPs. In this paper, we analyze the nuclear cyber security vulnerability regulatory requirements, characteristics of existing vulnerability scanners and their requirements and investigate commercial and free vulnerability scanners. Based on the proposed application method, we can improve the efficiency of checking the network security vulnerability of NPPs when applying vulnerability scanner to NPPs.

The use of general IT resources in the Instrumentation and Control system(I&C) for the safety of Nuclear Power Plants(NPPs) is increasing. As a result, potential security vulnerabilities of existing IT resources may cause cyber attack to NPPs, which may cause serious consequences not only to shutdown of NPPs but also to national disasters. In order to respond to this, domestic nuclear regulatory agencies are developing guidelines for regulating nuclear cyber security regulations and expanding the range of regulatory targets. However, it is necessary to take measures to cope with not only general security problems of NPPs but also attacks specific to NPPs. In this paper, we select 42 items related to the vulnerability inspection in the contents defined in R.G.5.71 and classify it into 5 types. If the vulnerability inspection tool is developed based on the proposed analysis, it will be possible to improve the inspection efficiency of the cyber security vulnerability of the NPPs.

Smartphones are currently being produced with similar functions, shapes, and software. The foldable smartphone is a product that dramatically changed the shape of the existing smartphone. Therefore, it affects the functions and software. In this paper, we analyze the potential security vulnerability of current mobile authentication methods by dividing them into two parts, security vulnerabilities of non-foldable smartphones, and security vulnerability that appears with the changed smartphone structure. According to the analysis result, the classic and current mobile user authentication methods appears to be easily affected by the smartphone display structure. Finally, we propose an appropriate authentication method as well as the concept of security measures for smartphones with foldable screen. Our method shows that it is more secure than the conventional authentication methods in foldable display smartphone.

Fuzzing is an automated software testing methodology that dynamically tests the security of software by inputting randomly generated input values outside of the expected range. KISA is releasing open source for standard cryptographic algorithms, and many crypto module developers are developing crypto modules using this source code. If there is a vulnerability in the open source code, the cryptographic library referring to it has a potential vulnerability, which may lead to a security accident that causes enormous losses in the future. Therefore, in this study, an appropriate security policy was established to verify the safety of block cipher source codes such as SEED, HIGHT, and ARIA, and the safety was verified using differential fuzzing. Finally, a total of 45 vulnerabilities were found in the memory bug items and error handling items, and a vulnerability improvement plan to solve them is proposed.

The AI speaker is a simple operation that provides users with useful functions such as music playback, online search, and so the AI speaker market is growing at a very fast pace. However, AI speakers always wait for the user's voice, which can cause serious problems such as eavesdropping and personal information exposure if exposed to security threats. Therefore, in order to provide overall improved security of all AI speakers, it is necessary to identify potential security threats and analyze them systematically. In this paper, security threat modeling is performed by selecting four products with high market share. Data Flow Diagram, STRIDE and LINDDUN Threat modeling was used to derive a systematic and objective checklist for vulnerability checks. Finally, we proposed a method to improve the security of AI speaker by comparing the vulnerability analysis results and the vulnerability of each product.
