  • The need for high bandwidth, very dynamic secure internet multicast communications is increasingly evident in a wide variety of commercial, government, and internet communities. One of the most recently researches is mainly about the group key distribution schemes[1,3,4,5]. In this paper, we survey related group key distribution schemes and propose a new scalable distributed group key distribution scheme which is one of the most important parts in internet multicast environment. Then, we add this scheme to the existing multicast applications and analysis the test results. The proposed SDGD minimizes the times required to distribute and redistribute keys for joining and leaving the multicast group.

  • Cross-domain event information sharing is a topic of great interest in the area of event based network management. In this work we use data sets which represent actual attacks in the operational Internet. We analyze the data sets to understand the dynamics of the attacks and then go onto show the effectiveness of sharing incident related information to contain these attacks. We describe universal data acquisition system for event based management (UniDAS), a novel system for secure and automated cross-domain event information sharing. The system uses a generic, structured data format based on a standardized incident object description and exchange format (IODEF). IODEF is an XML-based extensible data format for security incident information exchange. We propose a simple and effective security model for IODEF and apply it to the secure and automated generic event information sharing system UniDAS. We present the system we have developed and evaluate its effectiveness.

  • The current excessive limitations to mobile RFID tags and readers make it impossible to apply present codes and protocols. The technology for information and privacy protection should be developed in terms of general interconnection among elements and their characteristics of mobile RFID in order to such technology that meets the RFID circumstances. In this paper, transplanting and extending security library for protecting mobile RFID information in secure mobile RFID terminal S/W platform system to support security application on the path of all data from RFID reader to application server.

  • Previous RFID technique, it is recognizable without the physical contact between the reader and the tag, causes the serious privacy infringement such as excessive information exposure and user's location information tracking due to the wireless characteristics. Especially the information security problem of read only tag is solved by physical method. In this paper, we propose a low-cost mutual authentication protocol which is adopted to read-only tag and secure to several attacks using XOR and Partial ID. The proposed protocol is secure against reply attacking, eavesdropping, spoofing attacking and location tracking.

  • Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol was proposed to discover neighboring hosts and routers in IPv6 wire/wireless local networks. ND protocol, however, has a problem that it is vulnerable to network attacks because ND protocol allows malicious users to impersonate other legitimate hosts or routers by forging ND protocol messages. To address the security problem, Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND) protocol was proposed. SEND protocol provides address ownership proof mechanism, ND protocol message protection mechanism, reply attack prevention mechanism, and router authentication mechanism to protect ND protocol. In this paper, we design and implement SEND protocol in IPv6 local networks. And also, we evaluate and analyze the security vulnerability and performance of SEND protocol by experimenting the implemented SEND protocol on IPv6 networks.

  • Smart card has a small sized micro computer chip. This chip contains processor, RAM, ROM, clock, bus system and crypto-co-processor. Hence it is more expensive, complicated and secure chip compared with RFID tag. The main application area of smart card is e-banking and secure communications. There are two kinds of smart card platforms; open platform and closed one. Java card is the most popular open platform because of its security, platform independency, fast developing cycle. However, the speed of Java card is slower than other ones, hence there have been hot research topics to improve the performance of Java card. In this paper, we propose an efficient transaction buffer management to improve the performance of Java card. The experimental result shows the advantage of our method.

  • This paper proposes a secure data forwarding scheme on source routing-based ad-hoc networks. The scheme uses two hash-key chains generated from a trusted third party to generate Message Authentication Codes for data integrity The selected MAC keys are delivered to the ad-hoc node using a pre-shared secret between the trusted third party and a node. The proposed scheme does not require the PKI, or the provisioning of the pre-shared secrets among the ad-hoc nodes.

  • Recently, for secure software development, static analysis tools have been used mostly to analyze the source code of the software and identify software weaknesses caused of vulnerabilities. In order to select the optimal static analysis tool, both weaknesses rules and analysis capabilities of the tool are important factors. Therefore, in this paper we propose the test codes developed for evaluating the rules and analysis capabilities of the tools. The test codes to involve 43 weaknesses such as SQL injection etc. can be used to evaluate the adequacy of the rules and analysis capabilities of the tools.

  • One of major characteristics in wireless LAN is terminal's frequent mobility, so it makes many overheads in the process of authentications repeatedly at each handoffs. So I propose IAPP(Inter Access Point Protocol) of IEEE 802.11f, modified context block and 4 way handshake of IEEE 802.11i, in order to implement secure and rapid handoff. The context block. I proposed, doesn't makes any communication with RADIUS server at handoff period. Therefore, it guarantee higher efficiency than existing handoff mechanisms. Also it can improve security vulnerability by padding authentication field in the context block for providing in advance against Replay and DoS(Denial of Service) attacks.

  • In this paper, H.235-based security mechanism for H.323 multimedia applications was implemented. H.235 covers authentication using HMAC, Diffie-Hellman key exchange, session key management for voice channel, and encryption functions such as DES, 3DES, RC2. Extra encryption algorithms such as SEED, and AES were also included for possible use in the future. And, we also analyzed the quality of service (QoS), the requirement of implementation, and interoperability to the result in this study. The results could be applied to secure simple IP phone terminals, gateways, or gatekeepers.
