This paper presents the design and implementation of a crypto processor, a special-purpose microprocessor optimized for the execution of cryptography algorithms. This crypto processor can be used fur various security applications such as storage devices, embedded systems, network routers, etc. The crypto processor consists of a 32-bit RISC processor block and a coprocessor block dedicated to the SEED and triple-DES (data encryption standard) symmetric key crypto (cryptography) algorithms. The crypto processor has been designed and fabricated as a single VLSI chip using 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. To test and demonstrate the capabilities of this chip, a custom board providing real-time data security for a data storage device has been developed. Testing results show that the crypto processor operates correctly at a working frequency of 30MHz and a bandwidth o1240Mbps.

Crypto-mining malware (known as crypto-jacking) is a novel cyber-attack that exploits the victim's computing resources such as CPU and GPU to generate illegal cryptocurrency. The attacker get benefit from crypto-jacking by using someone else's mining hardware and their electricity power. This research focused on the possibility of detecting the potential crypto-mining malware in an environment by analyzing both static and dynamic approaches of deep learning. The Program Executable (PE) files were utilized with deep learning methods which are Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The finding revealed that LTSM outperformed both SVM and RF in static and dynamic approaches with percentage of 98% and 96%, respectively. Future studies will focus on detecting the malware using larger dataset to have more accurate and realistic results.

Java crypto library such as SUN JCA/JCE or BC JCE is generally used to implement secure applications for smart devices using Android platform. Programming functions written by Java language are launched and executed inside Java Virtual Machine (JVM), thereby difficult to use system hardware specific functionalities and degrading performance as well. In case of crypto primitive, few secure applications can use crypto primitive executing in JVM because both amount of computing and complexity of such primitives are very high. From the aspect of performance, in particular, time sensitive real time applications such as streaming services or secure application frequently applying public key based crypto algorithm cannot use Java crypto library. To solve the problem, we design and implement crypto library which employ JNI and NDK methods to directly access functions that implemented by native language such as C or C++. The proposed Java Crypto provider supports faster execution. Also developer can use our provider in the same way by writing traditional Java crypto library.

Recently, ransomware has earned itself an infamous reputation as a force to reckon with in the cybercrime landscape. However, cybercriminals are adopting other unconventional means to seamlessly attain proceeds of cybercrime with little effort. Cybercriminals are now acquiring cryptocurrencies directly from benign Internet users without the need to extort a ransom from them, as is the case with ransomware. This paper investigates advances in the cryptovirology landscape by examining the state-of-the-art cryptoviral attacks. In our approach, we perform digital autopsy on the malware's source code and execute the different malware variants in a contained sandbox to deduce static and dynamic properties respectively. We examine three cryptoviral attack structures: browser-based crypto mining, memory resident crypto mining and cryptoviral extortion. These attack structures leave a trail of digital forensics evidence when the malware interacts with the file system and generates noise in form of network traffic when communicating with the C2 servers and crypto mining pools. The digital forensics evidence, which essentially are IOCs include network artifacts such as C2 server domains, IPs and cryptographic hash values of the downloaded files apart from the malware hash values. Such evidence can be used as seed into intrusion detection systems for mitigation purposes.

The Blockchain technology could represent a solution to unexpected problems. In modern society, the domain of value has become diversified. The Crypto currency would replace the area that conventional currency could not function. The Japanese government recognized the Bitcoin as an official currency from April 2017 through amendment of the Money Transfer Act in 2016, and has been leading the related regulation policy recently. This paper examines the policy strategy of the Japanese government that is leading the current policy related to the Crypto currency market. The sequence of this paper is as follows: Coordination Process of Japanese Government's Crypto currency Policy of Special Mission Committee on IT Strategy as a Coordinator, Amendment of the Fund Settlement Act and the Establishment of a Self-Regulation Organizations in Crypto currency and Japan's Crypto currency Taxation and Supplementary System.

Recently, Crypto currency has evolved along with Blockchain technology and the voice of concern and concern of many people. Global nations that consider the use of Crypto currency are prudent in their protection of their economies due to legal regulations and institutional arrangements, and are watching the trends of various Crypto currency. Among them, Crypto currency is very popular because it can acquire money through cryptographic computation. However, there is a need to consider the impact of high-quality computing resources and the consumption of many electrical energy on global warming. Therefore, this study investigated the calculation of electric energy consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emissions, data and cases related to the mining of Crypto currency, examined variable factors. This will be used as research data that will respond to the 4th industrial revolution, such as the presentation of a more positive development direction of Crypto currency, and the development of various related technologies.

There are so many CCTV in our streets, buildings and public places. Nevertheless, security methods for CCTV are rarely. This paper describes a study on developing a media crypto algorithm for anti-hacking into CCTV. H.264 codec is used to compress the video stream in CCTV systems. HIGHT algorithm provided by KISA is adopted as a crypto algorithm in our development. Other crypto methods except HIGHT could be selected by company's security police. Only some bytes in VCL(Video Coding Layer) of H.264 are encrypted to improve the performance of limited platforms, such as CCTV, WebCam, smartphone. Very fast and light crypto algorithm was developed by our researches.

In this paper, after the crypto acceleration board of the server-termination type is designed, we implement the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm on the board that serves data integrity and user authentication. For implementing ECDSA, we use crypto co-processor, MPC180, to reduce the computation burden of main Processor (MPC860) on the board. By using crypto co-processor, the computation efficiency in case prime field is improved more between 90 and 100 times than the software library and between 20 and 90 times in case binary field. Our result is expect to apply for SSL acceleration board.

Advances in encryption technology to secret communication and information security has been strengthened. Cryptovirus is the advent of encryption technology to exploit. Also, anyone can build and deploy malicious code using windows CAPI. Cryptovirus and malicious code using windows CAPI use the normal windows API. So vaccine software and security system are difficult to detect and analyze them. This paper examines and make hooking tool against Crytovirus and malicious code using windows CAPI.
