Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a universal subscriber identification module card and a communication method using the same. The universal subscriber identification module card includes a Universal Subscriber Identification Module (USIM) chip, a pad, and a security chip. The USIM chip performs the user authentication of a mobile terminal. The pad electrically connects the USIM chip to the mobile terminal when the USIM chip is inserted into the mobile terminal. The security chip performs a security function for the mobile terminal independently of the USIM chip and shares the two power terminals of the pad with the USIM chip.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for providing sensor data in a sensor device based on a blockchain.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for providing firmware update, which includes a state information analysis unit for analyzing device state information received from a firmware update target device and thereby acquiring information about a version of existing firmware and information about a storage unit of the firmware update target device; an image creation unit for creating a delta image in units of pages based on a flash memory page size included in the information about the storage unit and on a difference between the existing firmware and new firmware; an update information creation unit for creating update information in which an update method is specified; and a communication unit for transmitting the update information and the delta image to the firmware update target device in order to update the existing firmware of the firmware update target device based on the update method.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for detecting a malicious device based on swarm intelligence. The method includes detecting a malicious device by causing at least one exploration ant to access a device swarm along movement routes in which pheromone trail values are taken into consideration, wherein the exploration ant is generated in response to a detection request received from a security management server, when the at least one exploration ant detects a suspicious device that is suspected to be a malicious device, causing the exploration ant to return along the movement routes in reverse order, and returning pheromone trail values generated by devices on the return movement routes to a malicious device detection apparatus, and identifying whether the suspicious device is the malicious device by calculating an optimal solution based on a local information set generated by aggregating the pheromone trail values returned for movement routes.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a fixed-location Internet-of-Things (IoT) device for protecting secure storage access information and a method for protecting secure storage access information of the fixed-location IoT device. The fixed-location IoT device includes a unique hardware information analysis unit for generating a hardware hash value by analyzing unique hardware information corresponding to the fixed-location IoT device for protecting the secure storage access information, a network environment information collection unit for collecting network environment information from neighboring fixed-location IoT devices, a network environment information analysis unit for generating a network hash value by analyzing the network environment information, an access information encryption key generation unit for generating an access information encryption key corresponding to the secure storage access information using the hardware hash value and the network hash value, and an encryption/decryption unit for encrypting or decrypting the secure storage access information using the access information encryption key.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a device and method for updating firmware and a firmware update system. The device for updating firmware include an update manager for receiving delta information about the latest version of firmware from an update server by checking information about a version of firmware installed in a terminal device and for updating the firmware installed in the terminal device using the delta information, and a bootloader for restoring the updated firmware using previously stored backup information when the updated firmware is not normally launched or when an error occurs during the update of the firmware.
