A method and an apparatus for device security verification utilizing a virtual trusted computing base are provided. The validity of a key for decryption is verified by a secure memory loader running on a processor of a device after booting of the device which is a computing device, and if the key is valid, encrypted firmware stored in a memory of the device is decrypted using the key to verify the confidentiality of the firmware. Then, the security memory loader verifies the authentication and integrity of the firmware by comparing a signature value generated for the decrypted firmware with an existing signature value.

There are provided a method and apparatus for defending a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack through abnormally terminated sessions. The DDoS attack defending apparatus includes: a session tracing unit configured to parse collected packets, to extract header information from the collected packets, to trace one or more abnormally terminated sessions corresponding to one of pre-defined abnormally terminated session cases, based on the header information, and then to count the number of the abnormally terminated sessions; and an attack detector configured to compare the number of the abnormally terminated sessions to a predetermined threshold value, and to determine whether a DDoS attack has occurred, according to the results of the comparison. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce a false-positive rate of detection of a DDoS attack and the amount of computation for detection of a DDoS attack.

A technology for defending a Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack is provided. A system for determining an application layer-based slow DDoS attack may include a packet collecting unit to collect a packet in a network, a packet parsing unit to extract at least one header field from the collected packet, and a DDoS attack determining unit to determine whether a DDoS attack against the packet is detected, using a session table and a flow table.

A method and apparatus for extracting a windows executable file that can search for a pattern related to windows executable files among a large quantity of network packets using a hardware-based session tracking and pattern matching technology and that can extract all packets included in the corresponding session are provided. The method of extracting a windows executable file includes: collecting incoming packets having a payload according to a session of a reference packet having an MZ pattern; performing a portable executable (PE) pattern matching for the collected incoming packets; and forming a PE file based on at least one incoming packet satisfying the PE pattern matching.

A real-time stateful packet inspection method and apparatus is provided, which uses a session table processing method that can efficiently generate state information. In the apparatus, a session table stores session data of a packet received from an external network. A hash key generator hashes a parameter extracted from the received packet and generates a hash pointer of the session table corresponding to the packet. A session detection module searches the session table for a session corresponding to the received packet. A session management module performs management of the session table such as addition, deletion, and change of sessions of the session table. A packet inspection module generates state information corresponding to the received packet from both directionality information of the packet and entry header information of the packet stored in the session table and then inspects the packet based on the generated state information.

Real-time stateful packet inspection method and apparatus

An apparatus and method for managing a session state are provided. The apparatus for managing a session state during transmission control protocol (TCP) handshaking includes: a session index unit producing and managing an index including 5-tuple information of a session corresponding to an input packet; a detailed information manager generating and managing an entry by extracting state information of a session in which a predetermined time does not pass after the session has been completely established, to respond to an intrusion detection against the input packet when the index is produced; a brief information manager generating and managing an entry including state information, which includes states of session connection and disconnection and directionality of the input packet, of a session in which a predetermined time elapses after the session has been completely established; and a search unit searching an index of the session corresponding to the input packet in the session index unit, and, if an index does not exist, searching the brief information manager after the session has been completely established.

Apparatus and method for managing session state

An alert transmission apparatus for a policy-based intrusion detection and response has a central policy server (CPS) and an intrusion detection and response system (IDRS). In the CPS, a policy management tool generates security policy information and then stores the generated security policy information in a policy repository. A COPS-IDR server sends the information to the IDRS and an IDMEF-XML-type alert transmission message to a high-level module. An IDMEF-XML message parsing and translation module stores a parsed and translated IDMEF-XML-type alert transmission message in an alert DB or provides the message to an alert viewer. In the IDRS, a COPS-IDR client generates the IDMEF-XML-type alert transmission message and provides the message to the CPS. An intrusion detection module detects an intrusion. An intrusion response module responds to the intrusion. An IDMEF-XML message building module generates an IDMEF-XML alert message and provides the message to the COPS-IDR client.
