Prof. Sihan Qing (Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China)
Some aspects on OS security
In this presentation, several issues regarding operating system security will be investigated. First of all, the general problem of software security is to be addressed. Then we discuss why we should consider the security aspect of the OS, and when a secure OS is needed. Finally we delve into the topic of secure OS design.

Dr. Dooho Choi (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Korea)
Introduction to SCARF Project - Side Channel Analysis Resistant Framework
In this talk, the side channel analysis for the cryptographic algorithm is addressed and mainly SCARF project will be introduces, which is the Korean R&D project for the side channel analysis and its countermeasure. SCARF stands for Side Channel Analysis Resistant Framework. Since the first discovering timing attacks and differential power analysis by Paul Kocher, many side channel analysis related works were studied. SCARF is the first national-wide project of Korea. Main object of SCARF is to develop the side channel analysis evaluation boards and software system, and to research the cryptographic algorithm-level countermeasure against the side channel attacks.

He received his B.S. degree in mathematics from Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea in 1994, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, Korea in 1996, 2002, respectively. He is currently a senior researcher in Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), Daejeon, Korea from Jan. 2002. His current research interests are side channel analysis and its resistant crypto design, security technologies of RFID and wireless sensor network, lightweight cryptographic protocol/module design, and cryptography based on non-commutativity. He was the editor of the ITU-T Rec. X.1171.
