Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the 5G network research phase coming to an end and soon to be deployed, 6G networks have become the agenda of many researchers. The 6G network will undoubtedly bring network service to a higher level than those of previous generations.

Security and privacy have been the pillars of the success of mobile networks. In 6G, when the right to Internet access is guaranteed to everyone, the networks will become a gigantic, connected world, with heterogeneous domains of enterprise and telecom networks, virtual and physical, satellites, terrestrial nodes, and so on. The more complicated the networks are, the more risks we face.

The goal of this Special Issue was to promote research in the development of efficient and novel security and privacy designs and enabling techniques by bringing together leading researchers from both industry and academia to present their creative views on the current trends and publish their innovative approaches for addressing various fundamental and practical challenges related to security and privacy in future.

Side-channel analysis is a type of cryptanalysis that utilizes the physical leakage of a cryptographic device. An adversary exploits the relationship between a physical leakage and the secret intermediate value of an encryption algorithm. In order to prevent side-channel analysis, the masking method was proposed. Several masking methods of the ISO/IEC 18033-3 standard encryption algorithm SEED have been proposed, as the Korean financial IC (integrated circuit) card standard (CFIP.ST.FINIC-01-2021) mandates using a robust implementation of SEED as an encryption algorithm against side-channel analyses. However, vulnerabilities were reported, except for with only one masking method. This study proposes the first-order vulnerability of that masking method. That is, an adversary is able to perform a side-channel analysis with the same complexity as an unprotected implementation. In order to fix this vulnerability, we revise the masking method with negligible additional overhead. Its vulnerability and security are theoretically verified and experimentally demonstrated. The round key of the existing masking method is revealed with only 210 power consumption traces, while that of the proposed masking method is not disclosed with 10,000 traces. Full article

Given the high relevance and impact of ransomware in companies, organizations, and individuals around the world, coupled with the widespread adoption of mobile and IoT-related devices for both personal and professional use, the development of effective and efficient ransomware mitigation schemes is a necessity nowadays. Although a number of proposals are available in the literature in this line, most of them rely on machine-learning schemes that usually involve high computational cost and resource consumption. Since current personal devices are small and limited in capacities and resources, the mentioned schemes are generally not feasible and usable in practical environments. Based on a honeyfile detection solution previously introduced by the authors for Linux and Window OSs, this paper presents a ransomware detection tool for Android platforms where the use of trap files is combined with a reactive monitoring scheme, with three main characteristics: (i) the trap files are properly deployed around the target file system, (ii) the FileObserver service is used to early alert events that access the traps following certain suspicious sequences, and (iii) the experimental results show high performance of the solution in terms of detection accuracy and efficiency.
