As the forms of cyberattacks become diverse, there has been reported another case of exploiting vulnerabilities revealed while processing either a document or multimedia file that was distributed for attacking purpose, which would replace the traditional method of distributing malwares directly. The attack is based upon the observation that the softwares such as document editer or multimedia player may reveal inherent vulnerabilities on some specific inputs. The fuzzing methods that provide invalid random inputs for test purpose could discover such exploits. This paper suggests a new fuzzing method on document applications that could work in mobile environments, in order to resolve the drawback that the existing methods run only in PC environments. Our methods could effectively discover the exploits of mobile applications, and thus could be utilized as a means of dealing with APT attacks in mobile environments.

Lightweight Encryption Algorithm (LEA) that was standardized as a lightweight block cipher was implemented with 8-bit data path, and the vulnerability of LEA encryption processor to correlation power analysis (CPA) attack was analyzed. The CPA used in this paper detects correct round keys by analyzing correlation coefficient between the Hamming distance of the computed data by applying hypothesized keys and the power dissipated in LEA crypto-processor. As a result of CPA attack, correct round keys were detected, which have maximum correlation coefficients of 0.6937, 0.5507, and this experimental result shows that block cipher LEA is vulnerable to power analysis attacks. A masking method based on TRNG was proposed as a countermeasure to CPA attack. By applying masking method that adds random values obtained from TRNG to the intermediate data of encryption, incorrect round keys having maximum correlation coefficients of 0.1293, 0.1190 were analyzed. It means that the proposed masking method is an effective countermeasure to CPA attack.

Nowadays, most web sites are developed using dynamic web pages where web pages are generated and transmitted by web application programs. Therefore, the ratio of attacks injecting malevolent strings to vulnerable web applications is increasing. In this paper, we present a static program analyzer which analyzes whether a web application program has vulnerabilities to the SQL injection attack and the cross site scripting(XSS) attack. To analyze programs using abstract interpretation framework, we designed an abstract domain which models potential string set along with excluded strings and developed an abstract interpreter for the PHP language. Also, based on them, we implemented a static analyzer. According to our experiments, our analyzer has competitive analysis speed and accuracy compared with related research results.

The Secure Sockets Layer is a protocol for encryption TCP/IP traffic that provides confidentiality, authentication and data integrity. Also the SSL is intended to provide the widely applicable connection-oriented mechanism which is applicable for various application-layer, for Internet client/server communication security. SSL, designed by Netscape is supported by all clients' browsers and server supporting security services. Now the version of SSL is 3.0. The first official TLS vl.0 specification was released by IETF Transport Layer Security working group in January 1999. As the version of SSL has had upgraded, a lot of vulnerabilities were revealed. SSL and TLS generate the private key with parameters exchange method in handshake protocol, a lot of attacks may be caused on this exchange mechanism, also the same thing may be come about in record protocol. In this paper, we analyze SSL protocol, compare the difference between TLS and SSL protocol, and suggest what developers should pay attention to implementation.

Because the traditional public key-based cryptosystems are unsuitable for the sensor node with limited computational and communication capability, a secure communication between two neighbor sensor nodes becomes an important challenging research in sensor network security. Therefore several session key establishment protocols have been proposed for that purpose. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the existing session key establishment protocols based on the criterions of generation strategy and uniqueness of the session key, connectivity, overhead of communication and computation, and vulnerability to attacks. Based on the analysis results, we specify the requirements for the secure and efficient protocols for establishing session keys. Then, we propose an advanced protocol to satisfy the specified requirements and verify the superiority of our protocol over the existing protocols through the detailed analysis.

Diverse kind of attack using the vulnerability of user authentication on Internet service is announced recently. Especially, security accidents on the Internet banking service and Internet telephony service(SIP) are increased rapidly. Attack skills are also evolved into intelligent mechanism. Therefore, more enhanced authentication mechanism is required on existing Internet banking and telephone services for preventing those kinds of attacks using personal identity information such as biometric data. In this research, the proposed B-OTP mechanism can be used to enhance security on a user authentication procedure by combining biometric data with existing OTP mechanism. As a result, the security on internet banking and Internet telephone service will be more improved by using proposed B-OTP mechanism.

Internet of Things(IoT), which is developing for the hyper connection society, is based on OSHW (Open Source Hardware) such as Arduino and various small products are emerging. Because of the limitation of low performance and low memory, the IoT is causing serious information security problem that it is difficult to apply strong security technology. In this paper, we analyze the vulnerability that can occur as a result of compiling and loading the application program of Arduino on the host computer. And we propose a new attack method that allows an attacker to arbitrarily change the value input from the sensor of the arduino board. Such as a proposed attack method may cause the arduino board to misinterpret environmental information and render it inoperable. By understanding these attack techniques, it is possible to consider how to build a secure development environment and cope with these attacks.

There are many modern societies use the digital products in everyday life in the Middle, convenience, give him plenty of Bluetooth is one of the users. Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1) means equipment in the close range between the low-power wireless communication standard for the connection to use the technology. Currently, Bluetooth earphone, Bluetooth speaker, wearable mounted devices also used a lot because it takes people to exploit the benefits had been lifted and thereby increases your damage. So, reducing the damage the user's further research about the security technique that can stop completely. I am sure that many Bluetooth hacking techniques, a Bluetooth device firmware vulnerability within the stored data to allow the approach to attacking the BlueTooth Snarfing and want to analyze.

Cyber-terror trials are increased in nowadays and these attacks are commonly using security vulnerability and information gathering method by variable services grew by the continuous development of Internet Technology. IDS's application environment is affected by this increasing Cyber Terror. General Network based IDS detects intrusion by signature based Intrusion Detection module about inflowing packet through network devices. Up to now security in network is commonly secure host, an regional issue adopted in special security system but these system is vulnerable intrusion about the attack in globally connected Internet systems. Security mechanism should be produced to expand the security in whole networks. In this paper, we analyzer the DARPA's program and study Infusion Detection related Technology. We design policy security framework for policy enforcing in whole network and look at the modules's function. Enforcement of security policy is acted by Intrusion Detection system on gateway system which is located in network packet's inflow point. Additional security policy is operated on-line. We can design and execute central security policy in managed domain in this method.

Recently Lin et al. proposed a simple remote user authentication scheme using smart cards. But the proposed scheme has not satisfied security requirements which should be considered in the user authentication scheme using the password based smart card. In this paper, we show that Lin et al.'s scheme is insecure against off-line password guessing attack. In their scheme, any legal user's password may be derived from the password guessing when his/her smart card is stolen and the secret information is leaked from the smart card by an attacker. Accordingly, we demonstrate the vulnerability of their scheme and present an enhancement to resolve such security weakness. Our proposed scheme can withstand various possible attacks including password guessing attack. Furthermore, this improved scheme can provide mutual authentication to improve the security robustness. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed scheme is relatively more effective than Lin et al.'s scheme.
