Recently, Gu and Xue proposed an improved secret handshakes scheme with unlinkability by modifying the Huang-Cao scheme. Their proposal not only solves security weakness in the Huang-Cao scheme but also is more efficient than previously proposed secret handshakes schemes. In this letter, we examine the correctness of Gu and Xue's security requirements and show that the adversary model is not correctly defined. We also show that the Gu-Xue scheme is not secure against the attacks under correctly defined adversary model.

The decision to integrate mobile cloud computing (MCC) in higher education without first defining suitable usage scenarios is a global issue as the usage of such services becomes extensive. Consequently, this study investigates the security determinants of the educational use of mobile cloud computing among universities' students. This study proposes and develops a theoretical model by adopting and modifying the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT). The study's findings show that a significant amount of variance in MCC adoption was explained by the proposed model. MCC adoption intention was shown to be highly influenced by threat appraisal and coping appraisal factors. Perceived severity alone explains 37.8% of students "Intention" to adopt MCC applications, which indicates the student's perception of the degree of harm that would happen can hinder them from using MCC. It encompasses concerns about data security, privacy breaches, and academic integrity issues. Response cost, perceived vulnerability and response efficacy also have significant influence on students "intention" by 18.8%, 17.7%, and 6.7%, respectively.

In the era of the Internet and ubiquitous computing, IS users are still facing a variety of threats. Therefore, a need of more tightened information security service increases unprecedentedly. In this sense, this study is aimed at proposing a new research model in which IT assets (i.e., network, system, and information influence) and Information Security Service (i.e., confidentiality, integrity, nonrepudiation, authentication) affect information security qualty positively, leading to users' satisfaction eventually To prove the validity of the proposed research model, PLS analysis is applied with valid 177 questionnaires. Results reveal that both IT assets and Information Security Service influence informations security quality positively, and user satisfaction as well. From the results, it can be concluded that Korean government's recent orchestrated efforts to boost the IT assets and Information Security Service helped great improve the information security quality and user satisfaction.

In this study we analyzed and gauged the information security needs for the new IT service which will be proceeding. Then we designed Information Security Rank Authentication System to raise the level of information security. To achieve this study, we analyzed rank authentication system of the inside and outside of the country and developed the practical propulsive system and the evaluation model which reflects IT service's own feature differing from the general evaluation of IS information security. The result of this study can be utilized to assess the level of domestic IT service information security objectively, and it can be applied as the means of rational decisionmaking for establishing a policy to raise degree of information security of corporations providing IT service.

The purpose of this study was to examine causal model of resources and demands, family financial management and subjective financial security among urban households based on system theory. For this purpose, the data were collected by the questionnaire sheets. 455 housewives participated this survey in Seoul. And the data were analyzed by various statistical methods such as Frequency, Percentile, ANOVA, F-test, Pearson's correlation analysis, Multipe Regression Analysis, and Path Analysis. The results of this research were as follows: 1. There were significant differences in the Subjective Financial Security according to resource variables and demand yariables. Those variables were such as housewive's age, education, occupation, househead's occupation, per capita income, aspiration, expectancy, perception of financial progress and relative deprivation. 2. The higher family financial management level, the higher level of Subjective Financial security. And the higher family financial management plan·implement level, the higher level of Subjective Financial security. 3. The lower debt/asset ratio, the higher level of Subjective Financial security. 4. Aspiration, per capita income an financial managemant variables showed direct effect on Subjective Financial security among all variables affecting the urban households' Subjective financial security. While housewive's education level, aspiration, per capita income and husband's occupation affected indirectly on the Subjective Financial security through family financial managemant.

In this paper, we analyze the security of OFB encryption mode which is one of the basic modes of operation for the block cipher and the security of 3GPP f8 encryption mode used to provide the data confidentiality over a radio access link of W-CDMA IMT-2000. We provide the lower bound and the upper bound on security of both modes in random function model and random permutation model, respectively, by means of the left-or-right security notion, and prove the security of both modes using a pseudorandom function and a pseudorandom permutation, respectively.

Mobile IPTV is a IPTV interactive broadcasting service through wireless Internet. Mobile IPTV service would be much more promoted. Thus, the methods for protecting the broadcasting contents will be indispensible elements for the successful Mobile IPTV service achievement. This paper describes the characteristics of Mobile IPTV and the related contents protection techniques. To evaluate several security issues, we suggest a DCAS security framework model for Mobile IPTV, and speculate the most widespread, a security technologies for Mobile IPTV such as DCSA. Moreover, candidate models of Mobile IPTV protection system are suggested based on these technologies.

According to International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Unified Requirement (UR) E26, ships contracted for construction after July 1, 2024 should be designed, constructed, commissioned and operated taking into account of cyber security. In particular, ship network monitoring tools should be installed in accordance with requirement 4.3.1 in IACS UR E26. In this paper, we propose a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) security policy model for ships as an effective threat detection method by analyzing the cyber security regulations and ship network status in the maritime domain. For this purpose, we derived the items managed in the SIEM from the maritime cyber security regulations such as those of International Maritime Organization (IMO) and IACS, and defined 14 detection policies considering the status of the ship network. We also presents the detection policy for non-expert crews to understand it, and occurrence conditions depending on the ship's network environment to minimize indiscriminate alarms. We expect that the results of this study will help improve the efficiency of ship SIEM to be installed in the future.

Mobile Agent is an autonomous mobility technology is being applied in various fields. In particular, mobile agents execution in the Internet environment through the safe execution of the security must be guaranteed. Also, agent to run the agent, the agent's workload should be distributed. In this paper, a trust model based on the security mechanism of the agent execution is proposed. Proposed mechanism to ensure safe execution of the agent was not considered in existing relative researches for rational agent workload distribution and load balancing to improve throughput was. The proposed trust-based security mechanisms for agents to go through security analysis proved safe execution of the agent.
